In general this is a great phone. It has some minor bad points but nothing major. 49.99 pounds in argos, makes this phone a great deal. If you use skype alot it makes this phone a must. But even a non skype user will find this a great and easy to use mobile.
My thoughts:
Very good screen quality, only phones upwards of 200+ pounds are better.
Average battery life, it depends on how much you use your phone, but i would say the battery life is very average.
Features, this phone has alot of features. Fast 3g and hsdpa Internet, free skype calls, ready loaded apps google, skype, facebook, windows live, bebo, yahoo, use your mobile as a laptop Internet dongle @ hsdpa speeds, all the features you would expect in a standard phone, camera [3.2mp] etc, way to many more to list. It will be hard to get bored of this phone, although its no 3g iphone, but then again this phone is only 49.99 pounds, but it can also do things an iphone can't.
Reception is ok and sound quality is good, however Three's 3g network coverage can sometimes be lacking, but like all mobile networks, devices etc it depends on your area, Three do a very very detailed network coverage and signal strength map, on there site.
Style wise its a phone for grown ups, its not the coolest of phones but its well built, and smart. Although the keys are quite small, its a easy phone to use.
Not so good points about this phone are. Some people get software problems [seams most phones these days suffer anyhow], the camera is only very average, some may find the small buttons difficult, 3g reception a little hit and miss, and very average battery life, also a small 50mb memory, this can be upgraded up to 4gb however.
A good phone overall, put it this way, its in my view at this time of writing one of the best pay and go phones under 100 pounds, only really bettered by mobiles like the Samsung Tocco lite, LG viewty lite, in the under 100 pound category. Of course it depends on your tastes.
