Overview

This small stylish phone has proved a hit with our reviewers who like its big screen and easy to use keyboard and the range of good features you might expect on a high quality mobile. Everything that is except 3G technology which is available with other phones.

Generally all the main features receive a resounding thumbs up for quality and ease of use including a good zoom, flash, decent video picture quality and decent sound quality including the MP3 player.
