Advantages: Cost, Size, ease of use
Disadvantages: battery when using apps
I bought this phone as my first attempt at entering the new age of smart phones and I have not been disappointed. It looks good and with the android features it was well worth the money. The camera is satisfactory and has a video function which was a pleasant surprise.
When you first start up the phone it has a very useful feature (setup wizard) that walks you though the basic uses of the phone and its various applications, not to mention helping you to set up the various social networking uses of these smart phones. I have found that this phone also incredibly strong and durable as i have dropped it many times on everything from tarmac to wet grass and it has been brilliant throughout!
I found the fact you can have and almost unlimited supply of home screens awesome but then again there is no real organisation the the apps menu so you could spend some time trying to find the apps that you are looking for. The battery is quite good but if you run certain apps (angry birds) it does drain the battery really fast. When I bought the phone it cost the princely sum of £89 but you can pick one up now for around the same price. There are better and newer smart phones out now but I will stand by this phone as it is robust enough to survive me and styling enough to just look awesome!
Summary: I love this phone
