Terrible phone if you like to text a lot. It's slow, freezes frequently & turns itself off randomly.

I got mine on a deal from the Carphone Warehouse, so for the price I paid its fine, but there are much better phones out there. I've had it around 6 months & I am already looking at getting a new one, purely because it is so painfully slow.

Nice, but I have little to compare it with. Unfortunately is full (so no more photos).

Spell check seems to be gone from my browser, but that is a different story.

Reviewer: Kate - Stockport, UK
Date: 29th Dec 2007

I had this phone for about 3 months when I realised I hadn't received a text or call for days which seemed strange. Then I asked people if they had received my texts & they hadn't! The only thing it would do would make outgoing calls. All my stored photos were just blank spaces after a couple more days. Now it keeps turning itself off & is absolutely useless so I am looking at these reviews for the best new thing!

I got it cheap at Carphone Warehouse & loved the way it looked quite expensive but wasn't. However, disappointed is generous!

I have a PDA for work which is the biggest heap of junk I have ever had. I needed a phone that makes calls & sends texts. Shopped around a bit & found this at Carphone Warehouse for £29.99. What a bargain! It does everything it says it will. Nothing fancy. It has a nice clear screen & good keys. Takes pics if I want to. They seem OK. Can't say much really. After all it is £29.99. Nice to hold. Light & the battery goes for ages.

If you want a cheap phone that's simple & stylish, this is it.

This phone is bad & the design is terrible. As soon as I bought it I pulled a face of disappointment. My advice is, if you buy this phone throw it in the bin straight away. & one thing that happened to me is that about 1 & a half months after buying the phone, I pressed one of the key & the whole phone broke down. Also for a friend he bought the phone & hours after he bought it he dropped it accidentally & it broke into tiny little shards. Every little piece was junk. This is the worst phone in the UNIVERSE!

The phone looks cool. At the moment I own the Nokia 6111. Its good but I wish it could have more memory. At the moment I have got my eye on the Nokia 7373. That is the phone I might get.
