Good: It was cheap

Bad: Battery life

Comment: I got this phone for £80 as a Pay as you go trade up on T-mobile. I wanted an android phone I could use as a wi fi hotspot for my Galaxy tablet. It works a treat. Battery life is fine if I refrain from playing angry birds surfing the net etc rather than get on with my work. It's a grand phone. As an entry level android you couldn't go far wrong

Comment: ...And it takes you longer to charge the battery than it takes the phone to drain it.

Good: Size and weight

Bad: Everything else

Comment: It's a nice color touch calculator. Other than that:
- The screen quality is good...5 years ago
- The internal memory (with memory card) can handle around 10 apps...out of 10s of 1000s of available apps.
- The battery lasts around 2 days...if you turn off wifi and don't touch the phone.

Good: usability and harnessing the power of android

Bad: battery life will deplete if not managed enough

Comment: been using this for two months now. at first, i was disappointed by the rapid depletion of battery power until i managed to root it and used a better app to conserve battery life and upgraded to gingerbread. now it lasts longer averaging of two days.
the mini was worth the expense.
but it definitely cant par with HD phones like galaxy s/sII.

Good: Good to look at and is simple to use. Has a good speed to internet.

Bad: Rubbish 320x288 screen washed out. Slow and jerky and has some problems when sending text messages at times.

Comment: Overall a average phone nothing stands out with this product at all. Should have made some improvements on some areas like screen and fuctionailty.

Good: Lots

Bad: Battery

Comment: A phone is used for phoning. Im a bit of a tech head with PCs but smart phones, although very cool, have never really interested me as much as the rest of most people I know. I like the iphone but I just see it as a fancy gadget that will soon be outdated. They're just too big and bulky to carry around and how many of the apps do you really use? Fancy; yes. Practical; not always. Anyway, I wanted to get into the Android craze and Ive always been a fan of Samsung products. The Galaxy is awesome but too big and I think a little pricey. Remember this is a phone! It doesn't have to cost 100s of pounds really does it? Plus im living in Thailand where the Galaxy is less than a 100 quid on pay as you go. I snapped it up on pay day and I love it. But this is the first smart phone I've ever owned remember so I'm like a kid in a sweet shop. The battery life is kind of a disappointment though. After my first day of fiddling it was completely out of juice which surprised me. I think if you are used to your luxurious iphone or HTC desire or Galaxy S 2 then this phone will be a bit of a disappointment but for those of you who aren't turned on by over needed apps and fancy graphics then this phone is worth checking out for sure.

Good: simple to use

Bad: maybe battery life with heavy usage

Comment: As i'm a novice with smartphones i decided to upgrade from a talk and text nokia,which served my needs. I saw this phone on tesco mobile in white on a 24 month contract and took the plunge. It.s fantastic, texting is great in landscape nice big keypad, good camera, good sound quality and i have a funky chicken ringtone which makes me smile when it rings. i cannot praise it enough, if i can operate it anyone can and i'm over fifty. Get one....

Good: Easy to use, fast internet, small size.

Bad: Battery life is appalling. Cannot describe how dissapointed I am without swearing.

Comment: Total Con. Would not have got this if I knew how poor the battery life is - needs to be on charge most of the time. Now stuck with it on a 2 year contract. Never again. Ever. (I am an electronics engineer so I checked specifications carefully beforehand. I got a spare battery and seperate charger too but it is a hassle to keep it charged even with that).
