Reviewer: Marios Economou - London, UK
Date: 15th Jan 2009

THIS PHONE IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT YOU GET. I HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE I SENT IT BACK. IT IS TOO SIMILAR TO CHEAPER SAMSUNGS & IT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING SPECIAL TO WARRANT the PRICE INCREASE. The CAMERA IS iTS BEST FEATURE BUT ITS NO SAVING GRACE. SAMSUNG IS BETTER THAN THIS & IT HAS OTHER HANDSETS TO PROVE IT.
