Good Points
The phone has a great design, very smart looking, and the camera is excellent.
Bad Points
The memory is very poor for messages, the inbox can hold no more than 15 messages at a time, while the outbox is large it does become frustating having to constantly delete or move around messages if you wish to save them.
General Comments
I have had this phone for just over a year, in the first 4 months i had no complaints whatsoever. However the first problem i encountered was how the battery is near impossible to remove, the back casing is extremely difficult to put back on after removing it, i had to actually return to the shop i bought it from for them to put it back on. I found this out after the phone began to crash during phone calls and upon sending a txt message. At first it was only on the odd occassion, but now it happens almost everytime i send a message and half way through most of my phone calls, it is very annoying. The back casing of the phone now refuses to fit back on, which means i actually have the casing just hanging off, and it falls off most of the time. Due to the casing not fitting on properly i now have slight water damage, which i think might explain some of the malfunctioning. Also the camera has now got dust under it, loads infact, which means that whereas before i had excellent quality photos that everyone commented upon about how they look like photos from an acual camera, now just appear fuzzy. My camera also no longer makes a noise to say the photos have been taken, so i never know if the camera has worked until after i move it and check the screen. Also my outbox no longer works, any messages i save, do not, and are lost. About 5 months ago the phone also deleted many of my messages that i did have saved in my outbox, and now, on random occasions it moves the messages in the outbox around, and deletes some. Basically, it is completely broken, and i cannot wait to change this phone, I suggest that if you want a phone to last you a long time, don't even think about buying this one. But if you can find it cheap enough, and just want a phone for a very short time, then you might consider it, after all, when i first got it, it was excellent!
