Advantages: hardwearing

Disadvantages: Not the greatest phone.

My sister gave me this phone ages ago after buying a new one. She always has to have fancy phones so keeps buying them. I'm not bothered about them though and would rather spend my money on other things.

My phone is purple and pink - not grey and blue like on the pic. It is a really chunky flip phone and its really hard wearing as I've dropped it about 20 times now and its still fine. There aren't many scratches either - so its quite good for clumsy people like me!

Its a good walkman phone and you can turn the music on from the front of the phone without having to go through the menus as there are the play, stop rewind and fast forward buttons down the front of the phone. The front lights up when you press the buttons and will tell you what song is playing.

The music is good quality but not as good as most mp3 players so I don't really bother with music on the phone much.

It has everything you want in a phone like internet and camera. The camera is ok, it's not amazing though and can't replace a good camera for taking pictures.

You get a data cable for uploading and downloading pics and music which is really easy to use. You just put a disk in to get the software on your computer, you can then plug it in and use it straight away each time.

The screen is quite small but it is big enough to see everything without squinting and it is very clear with bright colours.

If you spend about half an hour or so going round the menus and finding out where everything is it is really easy to use the phone.

I like this phone as it is quite cool and chunky. Its easy to use and does everything you need it to. It isn't a gadget phone and doesn't have loads of fancy features but it is long lasting and is a good basic phone.

I think it cost about £80 when new but wouldn't cost you that now. You can probably get it on ebay for about £30 if you wanted to.

Summary: Not a fancy phone, but still a good one.
