Typical price: £100
What is it: A superb-looking slider phone that is seamlessly designed and features a heat-sensitive glowing red touchpad
What we think: We're in love with the look of it, but the touchpad can be awkward to use and it's a shame about the lack of expandable memory

Review:
The phone is great looking - That's about all.
I bought this purely cuz i wanted a pink fone so i cant complain really but i was expecting a bit more than this!
The battery life is extremely poor! Even if you're just messing around with the MP3 or camera for 5 or 10 mins the battery will just drop to nearly empty!
When you go into the texting screen, the typing options are all backward e.g. Doesnt auto start with CAPS on etc and you cannot push forward to goto the next letter if youre too quick for the word, you have to wait for it to allow u to type the nxt letter - very very annoying if you like to type fast!
Touch sensitive buttons are sometimes not very sensitive! Also very annoying.
If like myself you rely on good Alarm and Calendar functionalities then dont bother with this phone. You are limited to how many entries you put in your calendar and when you set an alarm (say to wake you in the morning) you dont have a snooze function, the alarm will simply not sound again after its gone off and you also have to have your fone on for the alarm to go off (others fones such as samsungs etc have the option to turn your fone off but alarms will still function) - with this fone's poor battery life i wouldnt advise leaving it on over night.
The good points of the fone are that its awesome to look at - its a showy fone and you feel good having it ;-) ...the camera is great and the large screen enables you to view them well, although the Photo album is a bit naff as im used to having small previews of the pictures rather than just the file name. This is very time consuming if like me, you have hundreds of pics u wanna look at and they arent named so u have to look into each one individually to know what they are.
Im about to trade mine in for an E900 (would have been a D900 but they are fatties!!lol)

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
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
