Advantages: It's so pretty!

Disadvantages: Small memory and battery life wears out quicker as time goes on.

I've had this phone for almost a year now and it's generally been brilliant. The main attraction of this phone is definitely the look. I love the colour schemes and design of the entire thing. It's quite lightweight but still really durable and trust me - I've accidentally tested this out when it flow out of my pocket while playing badminton and it smashed two courts away. However, it's prone to scratching and the front is plastic so you need to keep it in pristine condition for it to look really good. The games are nothing special and the camera is alright but I wouldn't use it for the main purpose of photography (only 2 megapixels). Other issues are that the battery life shortens as time goes on and the message limit is too small (although this could be rectified by buying a memory stick). I haven't used the internet or put music on the phone but the usual functions (messaging, phoning, organising contacts etc) are all great. Basically, if you use it just as a phone then it's brilliant.

Summary: Camera and internet aren't too great but if you use it as a phone then it's a really good product.
