Advantages: Sturdy, cheaper alternative.
Disadvantages: Slow, poor battery life.
This is not a fantastic phone, especially considering today's market of smart phones, however, it is a much cheaper alternative to the latest smart phones. It has fairly good internet capabilities, and you can use the 'Skype' app - essential for me and a lot of people I know.
I took this phone travelling with me for just under a year, and it is still going strong, despite being dropped more times than I can count, and after quite a few counts of water damage - this phone survived a typhoon despite its age!
Having said that, the battery life is not fantastic (possibly due to my model being third hand, possibly just a feature of the phone), and the internet can be very slow and frustrating. Slow internet is better than nothing though, and I do still recommend this phone if you need an internet phone on the cheap.
Summary: Very good second phone, or for use whilst travelling.
