User Reviews
I think this phone is great !!!
I have had this phone for over 6 months now, it is an amazing phone and great value. It is just as good as the blackberry at a fraction of the cost in my opinion. It is excellent for emailing and surfing the web, it has an opera function which allows users to view full web pages and is much faster then normal mobile connections. It also has some fun games which are played by tilting the phone which then moves the ball etc... of what your playing. Its battery life is good and it is a very hardy phone with an easy to use keyboard once your use to it.
I bought the phone yesterday and i think its a great phone. Cheap and is very like the Blackberry. well worth the £35.
Sound and camera are great. its just like a blackberry but cheaper and without bbpin or bbmesseneger. the scroll at the side is brilliant for the internet. My problem is, is the phone freezes for a minute when you turn is on and try to do something. music can be put on the phone but after downloading it, you have to wait more time to transfer it from your files to the music player. videos are also transfered into the music player aswell with the songs, which is annoying because one minute you are listening to a song the next you are listening to the background of a video. the good side to this is you can delete the videos from the music player without removing them from your files. the phone has motion sensor which is great for the games and mp3.
