Good: Cheap!!

Bad: Cheap!!

Comment: I did an experiment after getting a little bit miffed charging it all the time, i switched everything off, bar the phone, turned the screen right down, put an old sim in it, so no text or calls were made or received, it lasted 60 hours, the phone is approx 7 weeks old, i have now gone back to my old phone and shall be putting the vivacity on the "bay",also texting is a nitemare, if you have slightly "sausage" like fingers! you know you've bought the wrong phone when you find yourself constantly saying "oops, sorry i'v phoned the wrong number!" I guess i got caught up in the "great smart phone revolution" its nice to have my simple brick back because i don't think theres anything particularly smart about a smart phone!!

Good: Cheap

Bad: Screen small for big hands, esp for Texting.

Comment: I had the original ZTE Blade and thought this would be just as good, but I feel it's not quite there.

You do get fully fledged Android and sat nav for free etc, but the screen is small and if you have large hands then it's not the best as you will make constant errors in your text.

On the whole it's not bad and can be found on ebay brand new and unlocked from £70

Good: Compact, looks and feels more expensive then it is

Bad: Internal memory is not good

Comment: Good as a back up phone but the small internal memory could be a problem as you can't move all apps to the SD card.

Good: Easy to flash, easy toremove all the t-mobile bloatware, and working with cyanagenmod 9 (ICS 4.0.4)

Bad: The few bits of cyanagenmod 9 that aren't working yet, battery life is pretty terrible, no flash support

Comment: I've got an ics rom on it now runs pretty smooth, why mobile phone companies don't develop official releases for all the phones when they have been proven wrong time & time again that the latest updates work.

The only thing not working is bluetooth has to have wifi on, camera & camcorder are a bit temperamental, the flash doesn't work for the camera but who really uses the camera anyway, apart from that all works fine & battery life has got steadily better with each new update,

obviously though i wouldn't recommend doing it unless your confident in doing so as its still very much a test version.

I own it
