I got this phone a few days ago & I am really impressed by it. It was really easy to learn how to use & is so funky & fresh to look at, it's a delight to own it.

Sometimes though I wish it had a stylus for some things.

Overall a great phone.

I got this phone from phones u 4, it's a great phone & most of the features are great too. To use & I love the livesquare it's very easy & because it very fun to use. I would recommend this phone to people as it has great features & I don't have anything bad to say about it, the phones offers even use & the phone comes with a 3.5 mm jack so you can put in your own headphones if you please. The quality if music is very good, & you can get this phone in black or white & pink, the thing I love about this phone is that you can change the things on it to suit your own style & personality which is really worth buying for 50 pounds! :) =).

I got this phone 2 days ago for my birthday (: overall I am really impressed by it, considering I only got it for £50 from phones4u!

- I love the design of it, very funky & cool!
- The features are good & I love how you can personalise the phone to suit you.
- The MP3 is good & the FM radio does not need headphones which is very useful!
- The 2MP camera is OK, not the best but on the worst, but I don't mind as I use my actual camera more (:
- All the features are easy to use, the phone is a lot more responsive touch wise then I imagined it would be, & it's quite easy to learn how to type using the touch screen, you can change the settings for typing a text to suit you.
- You can also fit iPod headphones in it instead of the headphones which come with the phone :D.

The only thing which I find a tad annoying is when you put in a memory card, I say this because whenever I take a picture or download a picture or song, it goes straight to my phone memory instead of memory card, I have changed the settings to go straight to my memory card but it doesn't seem to be working: ( & if you try to delete things off your phone memory, it wipes it off your memory card too.

But oh well, that's a minor blip for a really great phone (:

I'd definitely recommend it :D.
