Good: It is easy to use, has a sensitive touch screen and not bad camera picture quality.

Comment: A fair phone overall

Good: compact, comfortable

Bad: too many compromises..

Comment: my only issue is that stock battery was very poor, so i had to upgrade it to 1600mAh mugen replacement battery.

otherwise the phone is comfortable to use, has everything at its minimum, works well.. i am very satisfied, i do not have dramatic complaints

Comment: I have heard that the battery is rubbish? is that if you use 3G? I am getting this phone on contract and mainly want it for facebook and games/apps, so would that leave me with rubbish battery or would it last for 2-3 days?

Good: NOTHING

Bad: EVERYTHING

Comment: I HAVE HAD MOBILE PHONES SINCE 1991 AND THIS IS THE WORST I HAVE HAD, IT DROPS CALLS TAKES AGES TO GET INTO CONTACTS AND MESSAGES IS SLOW ON THE INTERNET. THE TIMES I HAVE WANTED TO THROW THIS AGAINST THE WALL IS UNBELIEVABLE. THE PHONE IS IN SHOP FOR REPAIR AGAIN AND AM USING AND OLD SONY ERICSON 901I WHICH IS ABOUT 6 OR 7 YEARS OLD AND STILL ABETTER PHONE

Good: Design, Camera

Bad: Memory?

Comment: I really want to get this phone, but there is only one thing that prevents me from getting any phone. How much memory it has... This phone looks brilliant, don't get me wrong, but I still don't get how much memory it has. Now I spoke to a few techno-friends and they all said that you can expand the memory on a phone by using an SD card, lucky me I have a good 4GB one. Good investment. I'm all for buying this phone, but I want to download almost 30 apps when I buy it, and I'm guessing they're all large downloads. So what I really want to know is, how much memory does this phone have and can I move apps onto a memory SD card.

Good: Inexpensive

Bad: Seems to default to 3G internet over wifi

Comment: My sister got the phone (on pay as you go) and ended accidentally burning through about £10 of credit. The phone has "packet data" enabled by default, she had connected up to her home wifi router, but then when she proceeded to watch 1 youtube video and download some apps the phone seemed to choose to do it over 3G without any warning.

To disable it you need to go here;
Menu > Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Use packet data (untick this)

It's a shame because she was really excited about her new phone, to then be slapped with a huge bill for downloading a few MBs draining her enthusiasm.

Good: Faster than expected. Good screen

Bad: Not the best camera but ok

Comment: I bought one of these for my elderly father the other day and am quite surprised at how good this phone is. Mine came with GBread 2.3 installed. Has an iphone-like keyboard which my dad likes as his vision is not brilliant. Fast turnover on screens and beats my S2 for screen clarity. Camera OK, nothing to write home about but still better than my old S1.Battery use good. Bloatware is minimal. Phone comes with a black AND a white back to customise looks AND a 2gb memory card in the box. For £160 sim free I am very pleased with this purchase and my dad had upgraded to a smartphone with minimal effort.

Bad: Slow and sluggish, can not keep up.
