Advantages: cheap

Disadvantages: poor camera,too complicated to use

I bought this lobster phone from Woolworth's on the virgin network as it was cheap and I didn't have any money any money at the time.

The one I purchased was in metallic pink although it is also available on black.

It was the huge waste of money for me.
It has a 1.3 mega pixel camera but the qualities of the photos were poor and mine were often blurred.
It does have an mp3 player but I never tried this feature
I couldn't get my head around texting on it. I have mostly had Samsung or Nokia phones but this never seemed to flow.
The phone itself has a cheap plastic feel and certainly not a phone you would choose to show off to anyone else.
The virgin tariffs aren't reasonable but I found that none of my friends were on the virgin so then all call was cross network. I did have good reception at home where I could only get a reception in certain points of my house on Vodafone
It was the phone I didn't get on with and not the Virgin network.
.My son cracked the screen by dropping it then when I gave it him to play with and then a few days later the flip phone snapped in two so it didn't even work as a toy phone.
It is sadly lacking Bluetooth which is a feature I really did miss.
I have now replaced it and don't miss it one bit.
I would not recommend this phone to anyone.

Summary: a complete waste of money
