Good: It feels good in the hand. Good call sound quality.

Bad: Battery life. Battery life icon on screen illegible.

Comment: Some commentator recently said... "What the mobile phone market really needs is for someone to throw a very large hand-grenade into it...."

He got that spot on, imo. For me a cheap phone has to do the the basics right. Be available. Decent call clarity.

Spec for this phone says 120 hrs standby. Reality is 1 and a half days, for couple of minutes use and one text sent.

Completely unacceptable for me, maybe 5 years ago, not now.

My last phone was a Nokia 2310. After 6 months I just got fed up with the keyboard 'lock' unlocking itself in my trouser pocket and calling people up, sending texts without me touching it. Straightforward, careless, bad design. Contempt for the market place.

Grenade anyone......?
