Advantages: Efficient, reliable, durable and extremely elegant.
Disadvantages: Minor faults, but not enough to put me off.
I bought this phone about 4 months ago for just unde 160 pounds. I was immediately attracted to its simple yet classy appearance, with the large screen and the pearly-white colour.
The phone is packed with a variety of useful bits and bobs, including a Fitness Manager, an easy-to-use internet service and it also comes equipped with a large amount of memory. However, it is this last part that causes me the biggest problem. The memory card is stored in a slot at the top of the phone, and while this probably doesnt happen to every phone of its kind, with mine, whenever I slide the phone up or shut it too quickly, the memory card pops out, and it is very difficult to get the phone to recognise it again after it has been removed.
Another problem that has occured is when I receive text messages. The screen tends to go completely black whenever I try to open my messages, which is a real pain, especially because it takes 3 or 4 tries to get it to work again. This could just be a fault with my individual phone, but I've heard other people complaining of the same problem.
On the plus side, the Walkman is brilliant, with lots of memory and the volume is also very good. The phone also comes with Track ID, Video and Camera (both of which give a clear picture and audio - video only obviously), lots of file space to transfer photos from the computer onto your phone, blue tooth, lots of games including the Sims 2.
If, like me, you think you'd be able to suffer the small faults that this phone has, its perfect for you. For all the phones I've had, this is the least problematic and the most elegant one i've owned. Its light, durable and is packed with bonus features.
Very stylish, very modern, and very well worth its price-tag.
Summary: A brilliant quality phone with a long future ahead.
