Advantages: pretty, unique, girly, photo phone book, mp3 player Disadvantages: a little slow, only 1 game, almost impossible to see the screen outside in daylight

...I got an EL71 last December when I changed my mobile contract and my phone. I must admit that the EL71 looked quite attractive and I was tempted by the fact that you could upgrade the phone memory to 2Gb by the insertion of a MicroSD card so I decided to go with it.
