Good design, bad video sound, no games & you cannot make your photo zoom on the screen. My old phone could do that. No good wallpapers & no themes.

This phone is not so good. The MP3 / WMA player is a joke. The whole play list stuff is useless. No multi tasking, so you can't sms while listening to music.

The texting spelling is bad. It never remembers your added words. It doesn't search the phone book properly for contacts. Battery life is bad & the syncing software is quite bad too. Camera has no flash (my fault for not checking first).

anyone want my phone, they can have it.

Good phone which I like but it will not charge from a car charger so is of no use to me. Pictures are crystal although slow to take at high resolution. Videos are good as well with good sound.

Reviewer: Ceejpaul - Southampton, UK

I have had this phone now for about 6 months and this is the best phone I have ever owned. The phone has not frozen on me once, as most previous phones have sometimes tended to do, and once you get used to the phone it is extremely easy to use. The phone is easy to use with my Laptop and home pc both through the data lead and via a Bluetooth card. It unfortunately comes with a small memory, but an SD card soon sorts that out. My only real problem with this phone is its battery life, whereas I normally have to recharge the phone every evening.
