This is my first smartphone and I am so impressed with it! I originally got it just because I wanted a smartphone and couldn't face the prices of the "better" models. But I have found that it does pretty much everything that a more expensive model does and at less than half the price of some of the leading ones, this is a major selling point. I was also impressed by the size of it, as newer smartphones appear to be too large to fit in my pocket which massively puts me off!

The screen is clear and bright and easy to see in direct sunlight. The touch function is sensitive and only responds to skin contact - which while annoying when I'm cold and wearing gloves - greatly reduces the risk of pocket dialling people. The battery life could be better - it lasts a day at the most when I use the functions on it (which I do regularly) or maybe 2 days if only using the text function. so be warned you will have to take a charger everywhere - however, this is comparable to better phones, no smartphone battery is particularly impressive.

The system is intuitive and easy to use (especially for me, as it is very similar to older models of Samsung phones, which I have always had - but friends have said they found it easy to figure out from transferring from Blackberry etc). The camera gives good enough pictures, obviously not a replacement for a digital camera, but okay for every day use!
