this phone is absolutely awful, about a year ago my sister, my mate and i all purchased the same phone and they all got broken... the strange thing is they suffered the same fate. one of the pieces on the phone broke apart in the exact same place on all the phones. we all had insurance on the phones but were not allowed to make claims because they said the damage was not fixable and we had to buy new phones. Because it was a contract phone all i could do was wait until i was allowed to upgrade to a new phone. Absolutely rubbish!

not impressed. had this for about 3 months and already the baterry only stays charged for a day, the screen takes a while to come on when i flip it open, 1.3 MP camera? practically stoneage! and no flash! even if the fone is on silent it'll play your music player if you lean agains the fron buttons which is easy to do. reminds me very much of my ancient samsung V200 which is a dinosaur of a fone now. It's difficult to plug the chrager into the fone at times, a bit fiddly, and texting while its plugged in is a nightmare. Changing from capitol letters to normal letters in a text is nightmare. The whole things rubbish.

well... The first time i seen this phone i fell in love with it, i just loved the overall design and the way it looked!! HOWEVER the batter is rubbish and the phone gets jammed now and again. The major problem with these flip phones is that the flip breaks (i didnt expect it to break within months though)!My brother had this phone and the flip on his broke aswell. Another problem is that you cant save messages into a "folder" like nokias! The camera aint to clever aswell.

The main review here is full of lies, I have this phone and its a piece of junk, yeah its good looked (Probably the best i've ever had) but its signal is worse than a 3330!! And why does this review say its Had Windows Media Player? It is not a Windows Mobile Phone (They are amazing devices but chunky, have a look at the T-Mobile MDA Vario II, amazing device!) It does not even play WMA's let alone have Windows Media Player. The battery on it is the worst i've ever had, i'm lucky to be able to talk for 1 hour! The bluetooth is very very slow (20kb/s for techies - Should be around 50-80kb/s as its v1.1) The MicroSD slot does not seem to take 2Gb SanDisk Cards let alone my 4Gb Sandisk which my PDA does.

awful phone, battery does not hold charge and the pictures are terrible. the t9 software is a joke. cant really use it when charging because of position of charger, sound quality is awful, have to put it on speaker phone sometimes just to hear people talking on the other end! constantly freezes, so you have to take the battery out and start all over again! oh and the delete button is right below the send button, thats annoying!! half finished messages all over the shop! lol good points though - lots of memory, and the kaypad is quite easy to use, and seemingly indestructable, the amount of times its fallen in pints and been thrown around! definitely dont buy this unless you are looking for a very simple phone to do very simple tasks!

Hard wearing, no frills phone. I drop mine at least twice a week - tough as old boots. Because I didn't upgrade and I've been with them a while three gave me a 750 min contract for £6 perr month too. Obviously have loaded the memory card full of music - although navigation around the music is not great. This phone company are far more competitive than the rest !

Very ugly, too quiet and big. It may be thin, but it's still a brick. My one's a year old, and all sorts of dodgy defects are affecting it - for some reason it keeps telling me that my memory card doesn't exist (it obviously DOES) and sometimes the fone randomly decides to NOT play my ringtone when i have an incoming call. Finally, the sound quality is TERRIBLE. it sounds like something from the stone ages... Lots of features though, and the price isn't too bad, plus the video recording and memory is excellent

I've had this phone for just under a year.. yea it works for a good two months, then after awhile you have to charge the phone for longer, at closer intervals.. now it needs to be charged every 8 hours or it dies. The reception drops out often, some places I have NONE; and useless to connect to a computer if you have lost the CD. Isn't there supposed to be somewhere you can download the software for it, just in case? Stupid phone; not worth it.

Good phone and intuitive to use, but battery life is woeful. After having the phone less than a year, battery life is down to less than a day - and that's if I don't use it! A 5 min call will kill it quicker. In addition, when the battery runs down, the phone has to have been on charge an age before you can use it again - very annoying. Signal also quite poor, though not usre whether this is due to phone or 3.

I have owned this phone now for over a year now, and yes i suppose its an o.k phone.. however, for those who wish to use it as an mp3 player i could only store 11 songs on there, if you wished to extend this you would need a memory card. I thought the camera was pretty poor quality, and no good for night shots as there is no flash. Its a pretty big phone, it may be thin but is extremely large when you flip it up. the video recorder has an extremely poor quality also. But the phone is easy to use.. the keypad has fairly big buttons so its easy to type a txt message. Its not a bad phone but for those who are looking for something more technical i would not recommend it.

I bought this phone on contract about a year ago. for six months or so everything appeared ok. It is after all a phone with a great range of features however, about six months ago iy started to switch itself off and then it stopped holding its power. after 10 mins of conversation it was useless. i tried a new battery and it didnt change a thing. the phone just switched itself off one day and never came back on again. I switched to what i thought was my trusty spare LG 8120. after 2 weeks of being able to use a mobile again it done exactly the same thing. im told now that its a software problem and everything i have on the phone will be lost when i have it repaired. pretty useless really!!!! wouldnt buy another LG.
