"Almost, but not quite"

What I like:

Nice size and like the wifi option (I use with BT)

What I don't like:

only 1 alarm available, after service

Review:

I like this phone, although there are a few things to get used to, not enough alarm options and seems to switch into wifi mode when I'm in range which I don't always want (it uses more battery).
Biggest gripe is potential flimsiness and after service (or lack of). My phone has broken after being used for around 1 week. Sent it off for repair and they've come back saying the warranty is invalid as there's moisture on the circuit. I dispute this and I've no idea how it could have happened as no water has been spilt on it and when not in use it's been kept in my bag or coat/trouser pocket in it's case. Their response is it may have been perspiration, perhaps it rained lightly whilst I used it, perhaps I had it in the kitchen whilst cooking and steam got into it. I've never had a phone that I can't use outside or in the kitchen before and certainly not sweat near (and I wasn't aware my bottom sweated that much) and if it's done this after a week of use I don't have much hope for any replacement. Perhaps it was a one off dud one, but I now have to have an independent assessment etc etc. Regarless, for this price it should be more sturdy. Beware.
