Typical price: £15
What is it: A very simple and inexpensive phone with an electrophoretic display
What we think: This could have been one of the best budget phones we've seen so far, but its interface badly lets it down

"Almost, but not quite"
What I like:
Fantastic daylight screen..
What I don't like:
Clumsy menu
Review:
Paid £9 for it at Asda !!
Looks good, thin, great screen. Brilliant in sunshine. Intuitive menu?? It isn't unless you are blessed with psychic reasoning. What a shame...
Huge text, perhaps TOO big... makes reading text messages a bit clumsy, as the text letters are often different sizes in the same word, lIKe tHiS, pOor and SoMETi Mes split words. Hard to read. I wonder why they did this, but a bit too big for texting.
Loudspeaker. Long long battery life. Good looking, but disappointing menu, really disappointing!
Visual design 90%
Menu 30%
Text Readability: Sometimes good sometimes poor. Pity... Visually, it looks like it would have been a really good cheap basic phone.
Still... Ok for £9 but not worth a lot more.

Latest Mobile phone Reviews
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
