Customer Reviews

It's lovely
This phone is really good value for money - in my opinion it's the best compromise between style, quality and money on the market, which is why I decided to buy it. It looks really nice, has a stunning display system and is quite user friendly. It's also metal not plastic - a positive feature, which, however increases the weight of the phone to some extent. Found it difficult to text at first but easy to get used to. Another drawback (besides weight) might be the speaker system/volume: even when set at max. volume set for ringing tone it's difficult to hear!

Oozes Quality
I've only had this phone for a week and I can't comment on whether it's worth the money as it was a free upgrade. It is however a very nice piece of kit!

Firstly it feels like a quality item, the front and back are made from brushed metal which gives it a weight and a class that you just don't get from the more common plasticy mobiles around. The scroll wheel navigation although a bit odd to get used to at first is brilliant! (if a tiny bit slow to react) and the camera although only being 2mega pixels is much much better than I thought.

My only slight complaint is that the sound quality on calls is ever so slightly tinny. You can still hear what the other person is saying clearly but it just doesn't have enough depth for me.

That aside, highly recommended!

A very honest review
There's no denying that this phone does look really nice, i thought that when i first saw it. It looks good, its stylish and its a head turner. But when i got the phone, it was summer, it was very difficult to read the screen due to the mirror. Great, having a mirror - very handy, but when it came to reading texts and looking at photos it was rubbish.

I think one of the biggest let downs is the battery life, it ran out every day, it would get low really easily - so if your looking for a phone that has a great battery life - this simply wouldnt be for you. Its not the sort of phone you can go and stay at a friends with without the charger, you simply would be screwed.

I brought a memory card for the phone, to have more room for my music. The music didnt go very loud - although i realise if i want to play music i should just do it on a cd player or mp3 player - it would still be nice to have the same kinda volume as a sony ericson.

Overall opinion, looks great, but its a shockingly bad phone - sorry to dissapoint.
