"An excellent basic phone with minimal gimmicks and great audio quality and signal reception"
What I like:
Excellent audio quality and signal reception, clear menu layout
What I don't like:
Nothing so far
Review:
I have little or no use for MP3, Bluetooth or a poor quality camera, because of the way I live and work - I'm not a teenager with time on my hands. This phone is amazing value for someone already on Virgin pay-as-you-go, and far better equipped than an initial glance suggests. Its audio quality and signal reception is far better than my old phone's. The sounds made by the keypad can be changed if you don't like the clicks - but I do - and the range of ringtones etc is perfectly acceptable if you don't waste your time and money on such things. In-car chargers for it seem to be readily available on the net. It has hotkey setup, which I find invaluable as I make regular calls to a limited range of numbers. The menu layout is clear and easy to use. Triband is useful for occasional long haul holidays. WAP is an expensive gimmick that I'm unlikely to use.

BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
