Just bought this phone because I liked the qwerty keypad. However, it won't send messages, just get a message saying 'error sending message'. Nothing in instruction manual about this. Recommend you try another brand.

I got this phone for Christmas, & I love it.

I looked at a few phones, but when it came down to it I had to pick between the LG Webslider & the B3310, I read reviews on both phones & asked a lot of questions, after my research was done I realised that the B3310 is more reliable.

I would definitely recommend this phone to all teens. Although the LG Webslider has got a touch screen I think that this phone is just as good if not better. I think that it is a wonderful phone & people that say don't buy it mine screen broke in 2 weeks, obviously didn't treat it well, phones don't just break, nothing just breaks like that.

It is definitely the best phone I have had yet, it is a chunky phone & it hasn't got the biggest screen but it does the job, it has heaps of great features, & I love the QWERTY keyboard. You can change the font & the font size, & it has an awesome speaker.

Altogether I would rate this phone 9 out of 10. An EXCELLANT phone!

I bought this phone on New Year eve & I think it's a great phone. Easy to get in touch with your friends & family on the go as it supports social networking websites like Facebook, Orkut, Myspace & even photo sharing websites like flickr, photobucket, Picasa.

It is a great value phone, a must buy for teenagers because we need to text & go on social networking sites a lot.

So, what are you waiting for go, rush to your closest mobile store & grab one because I promise you that it would be out of stock soon. As many people would get this product!
=D.

I spotted this phone in Carphone warehouse, 4 weeks ago & liked the quirky design. Felt a bit nervous buying a pink phone but it's easy to find in bag or rucksack. Having the numbers on the outside of the phone took a while to used too but it made speed dialling & dialling individual phone numbers easy. The QWERTY keyboard underneath useful for texting, email & Internet usage. I really like the MP3 player & the radio both have excellent sound quality. Some of the newer models have a safety features, such fake calls, SOS messages & restricting text messages by person or subject, this phone has this. It takes memory cards, but what I also like is the rolling carousel menu system on the phone, it allows you to create a shortcut menu to most used icons, e.g. create SMS, Facebook, radio, MP3, alarm etc. If you like Pink, slider phones & happy to try unsual designs this phone is for you.
