General Comments

I bought this phone from Superdrug for £15, (which included £10 airtime). I am impressed with the features of this phone for the price. The screen is a decent size, and is clear and bright.
The camera is good, and I am able to take clear photos even under electric light. The settings for the camera and video can be altered while still in mode, which means you can see the effect of altering the settings without having to go back and forth to different menus.
Although you cannot link this phone direct to your PC you can set up your own private webpage using the phone for free, then print off photos or video from there. The internet is free to browse which means you can, watch TV clips, read the news and reviews, and even watch 3s own music show all for nothing, fantastic if you want to kill some time.
This Phone is simple to use, with clear menus, and I was able to use all the features quickly, without even looking at the instructions.
Although not the best looking phone on the market, it seems well made, with large easy to use buttons.
The Sim is glued into the phone, making it impossible to use with any other network, but for me this is not a problem, I find 3 OK price wise and is on a par with most of the others.
My only real criticism is the inbuilt speaker. Its rubbish, distorting at anything over the lowest settings.
Overall this a great all round phone for making calls, texting, browsing the internet and taking the occasional photo or video.
If you can find one at this price buy it, you wont be sorry.

    The ZTE F866 is very good mobile phone to use, but the only problem is that it doesn't have games, and you can not connect it to your computer.
