We bought this phone a little over six months ago, and so have had plenty of time to form an opinion of this phone.
It was definitely the stylish look of this phone that influenced our purchase, plus the good range of features.
To be honest I am not sure that we would purchase the same phone again, or at least would have a good look around to see what else was available for a similar price.
The main disadvantages are the small and very fiddly buttons that I find hard to use (even though I have tiny fingures!), and the short delay from the time you press the number to the number coming up on screen or ringing. This means that you have to be very careful dialling numbers, especially long ones, and wait a few seconds between pressing each number to avoid missing any numbers out.
The menu is also a little awkward, especially if you are used to using similar menus on your mobile phone.
However, on the upside, the phone's modern design looks good, the sound quality is fine, and the answering machine is excellent and easy to use.
The screen is clear and colourful, and you can even change the wallpaper like you can on a mobile phone. The ringtones are changeable too.
Other useful features include speakerphone, missed call functions, and uploading phone numbers from your SIM card.
Overall, not a bad phone, but some features could be improved upon.
