Good Points

The phone has been excellently designed in terms of Ergonomics. You can have this phone in your pocket without even knowing you have a mobile phone.

Menus are quite simple and it is a simple phone to operate.

The Aeriel is a great improvement over the Old 'Startec' phones, they had a tendency to be easily broken and would need to be sent back to be repaired.


Bad Points

The Phone has about five ring tones and a vibrate function. Some of the menus have items which you would not expect under each menu.

Battery life is okay, but not great when compared to the likes of the older nokias and the newer nokias.


General Comments

The phone is remarkable when you see how much technology has been packed into such a small item. The phone automatically attracts you to it when seen in the shop and it is mainly for the style which initially attracted me to it.

I have had no problems with this phone since buying it, some people have mentioned that the silver coating comes off the phone when used a lot, but i have not experienced this because i use the phone with the carry case supplied (make sure that you get one supplied as this will cost about a £10 extra charge!).

No ring tones or anything like that can be downloaded onto the phone so if you are looking for that kind of thing, then look somewhere else.

If you are looking for a stylish phone which sends and receives messages and combines an easy to use interface then this phone will suit you down to the ground.

A novel feature is the ability to record short voice notes up to a total of 3 minutes and also voice activation to call people, although this looks a bit tacky saying a persons name to a phone, try it around anyone you know and you will see what i mean!
