Highly recommended!

I got this phone from phones 4 you unlocked & on an Orange contract. Best decision I made after being tempted by the iPhone. It is so easy to use, the display & touch screen outstanding. The QWERTY keyboard is spot on!

I have got no problem getting a 24 month contract with this phone.
