Not a bad phone to be honest.

It's pretty easy to navigate around.

Camera is very sharp & easy to use.

My only bug bear is after the phone has been turned on for 12+ hours it will not allow you into the menu or text or call which is a pain but it only needs turning off then on with the occasional reboot.

The only thing I was annoyed about it was that its almost the same as my daughters LG Cookie which only cost £49.99.

Overall 7.5 out of 10.

I've just bought this phone 15 to 16 hours ago & I've found it attractive enough. I've also added a 4GB micro SD memory card & it is running smooth. I've really loved it. The camera is 5MP, but doesn't take better snaps if you compare it to the Nokia camera's.

But overall, it is a nice & stylish phone.

This is the first touch phone I have bought although lucky for me, this was free on an upgrade!

Not a bad phone, depends what you're looking for really.

Fairly easy to use but have been used to Nokia's & Sony's so had to get my head round the different menus.

Memory is quite poor so you need to buy a memory card for it, also make sure that you change to the camera to 5meg as the normal setting is 1 meg & is rubbish quality!

Basically, I should read the manual but who does!

Put it this way, good for a touch phone but if the iPhone came out on T mobile & had Bluetooth, I'd buy it!

7 out of 10.

My personal thoughts & findings.

Having taken this phone on a week's trial & it being the first touch phone I've used I was quite impressed, initially.

However after a few days despair was seeping in & I was deciding to return it, here's why, I do not have overly large fingers but really struggled to work the keyboard (qwerty) in landscape mode.

My real dislike & threat of lobbing it out the car window in the path of any passing vehicle to crush, was when during getting the mapping function to work by inputting the postcode to my destination if a character was wrong & I tried to correct it by removing it, it would wipe out all of the correct digits I'd managed to type in. That was enough, I had sat at the roadside for 15 minutes doing this on two occasions, this was enough for me. The phone will be returned.

The second problem even though the battery had been correctly charged & discharged over several days it still would not last longer than a day before a recharge was required. Even though I only made a few calls of short duration, no Internet usage but a few texts sent & received. Along with a few photos taken. Not impressed at all.

It will allow the usage of Two lines (2 different numbers) which some of the newer phones are not capable of handling.

Call clarity wasn't too bad, the camera though gave quite acceptable results for a camera phone, but only if there was no movement that it had to deal with & good lighting, saying that I never took photo's using the included adjustable settings.

I was happy with the screen & menu layout once I'd got used to it so it wasn't a total disaster.
