Good: Easy music, easy to use
Bad: Extremely Slow, not much use apart from music
Comment: I have had it for nearly a year now .. it was a bit disappointing when i opened the box to be honest. i found it was perfect for music when i didnt want to take my ipod around. the buttons do take some getting used to but are fine after. the phone is extremely slow and sometimes i find there to be huge amounts of lag even when typing

Good: Very small and compact - fits into pocket well.
Bad: No 3.5mm headphone jack, Very poor camera, unreliable signal problems.
Comment: First lets start with a positive: This phone is very small and it is a fantastic size! The phone easily slips in and out of a pocket and it is very good in this respect.
However, the phone has quite a few problems. First, the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack. On primarily a music device, you would expect a standard jack so you could use your own headphones. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if the suppied set of headphones were decent, but they are not - bad quality and uncomfy in the ear.
Also the camera is bad, especially the video capture. It can take a semi-decent shot outside in sunlight but inside and when it is dark, the camera is rubbish. Worser still is the video capture. It has such a low resolution and fps that it is very hard to actually tell what is in the shot!
Also, there is a signal problem which is very annoying. Often the phone says it has full signal but actually there is none and you can't send or recieve texts or calls. This is fixed by turning the phone off then back on again, but this is not ideal.
I am not going to mention the lack of features such as 3G because you wouldn't expect that on a £60 device but the features it should be good at, it simply isn't.
Only get this phone if you want a cheap phone which is small and for the occasional text - that is all it is good at.
