Advantages: Stylish, slim, very reliable
Disadvantages: Tiny buttons, no radio
I bought this phone from play.com a year ago for 80 pounds which wasn't a bad deal for a phone with so many extras. (You could probably get it cheaper now) It came with a charger, a Vodafone sim card, headphones, a USB cable and even a 1GB memory card.
What I love about this phone is that it's slim, sleek and elegant, therefore it can easily slip into your handbag or your jeans pocket (where mine lives). The 2 Megapixel camera's pretty sharp too and takes decent quality pictures. You can even use the 2.5x digital zoom to get a closer look. You don't even need to panic when you go out because you forgot to check your appearance - this device doubles up as a mirror by using another lens at the front of the phone. (I use this regularly!)
I was amazed to find that you can even use this phone while on a plane jetting to your next vacation by using the cool Flight Mode function. (Although I have yet to try it!)
The perfect music phone -
Whether you love bopping along to your fav pop or rap tune or you just like relaxing to classical notes, if you are just simply addicted to music this phone is for you. It has a Walkman function built in and you don't even have to go through the menu to find it! Instead just press the dinky little orange button down the left side of the phone and you immediately have access to your entire music library.
There are a couple of bad points about this phone also; it doesn't have a radio - my old phone had one and it became very handy, and the keys are miniscule, often making it difficult to bash out a quick text. You soon get used to it though.
Overall, this phone is everything you would expect a phone to be and so reliable - it hasn't broken once in the year that I've had it (a record for me!) My old phone used to turn off every time I dropped it, this one doesn't. Additionally, it's incredibly simple to use with not so many options that you become confused (like the iPhone for example).
Summary: Great, simple music phone with style!
