  • Pros
    Most things.
  • Cons
    Some things.

I have owned this phone for a few months now, and it's working quite well for me. It looks good and is surprisingly light, so when I carry it in my pocket it doesn't weigh it down. The touch screen is good, although my standards are higher as I also own an iPod Touch 4, which has an exceptional touch screen. It responds quick and sharply, and I can hear every word on a phone call.

I'm disappointed about the fact that it's missing the option of a QWERTY keyboard, as again I'm used to typing on my iPod with that, so I would prefer it to the normal mobile phone keypad. The other thing is the lack of memory, which affects the amount of photos and videos I can take, and the amount of music I can download. At the moment I only have 3 photos on my phone, yet there is only room for 9 more- what happened there? The last thing I would change is the battery problem. It doesn't last for as long as I would like it to, despite how much I charge it. And no, I'm not over-charging it. I leave it on for 2 hours at the most, then take it off. If it's still missing charge then I will leave it for another 30 mins, check it again and charge it again if necessary.

Other then these minor issues, the phone is satisfactory. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a simple mobile phone that is not used 24/7. :)

  • Pros
    Everything
  • Cons
    Not much.

I have had this phone for about a year and a half to 2 years. Ive never had a problem with this phone.. everything works perfectly fine on it, the quality is good! texts are sent properly and quickly, its easy to use.

but lately the phone is beginning to fail on me, thinks its still on the charger and tells me to take it off the charger because its fully charged, but its not actually on the charger...
also the phone has been turning its self off without me noticing, and the touch screen stuffs up sometimes..

but other then that, its a pretty good phone..
good for teenagers, or someone who wants a simple touch screen ! :)

Don't get this phone - it's horrible to use and will just frustrate the hell out of you.
