Advantages: Small and light

Disadvantages: Seems to be a general fault with the handset and it freezes a lot

I loved this phone when I first got it a couple of years ago, as it did everything that I wanted it to. It made phonecalls, sent texts, connected to the internet, had googlemaps and doubled up as an mp3 player.
My love of the phone soon vanished though as it very quickly started going wrong. Only a couple of months into owning the phone, it started to lag behind when typing or moving between applications, before eventually freezing up, buzzing and either restarting itself or just going to a blank screen which would then mean taking the battery out for a while and then replacing it before it would work again. I thought it was just my phone and took it to be checked, though they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Since then I have come across other people who have suffered similar problems with this phone, so it seems to be a general fault rather than my particular handset. The most irritating part was when it would freeze as you answered a phonecall, then when you restarted the phone to call back it would freeze again...and again...and again.
One of the only advantages of this phone is the fact that it is incredibly small and lightweight, but generally I wouldn't recommend this phone at all. I couldn't be happier to see the end of it!

Summary: Worst phone I have ever owned, much better out there.
