I have had this phone for the last 8 months and it has just started to go wrong. Unfortunately I am not allowed to upgrade for at least another year and I doubt it will last that long. I know two other people who had this phone and again, it went wrong within months.

It is billed as the Facebook phone because you can synch all your phone contacts with your facebook ones. This means that you can see their status updates and profile pictures as you scroll through your phone contacts. It also delivers Facebook messages to your phone inbox as well as pokes and friend requests. All this sounds very good, but what they don't tell you is that you have to have Facebook logged on constantly. Depending on what contract you are on, this could end up costing a fortune. However, you can pay £5 a month for unlimited internet access.

The other features include Skype calls and you can access emails from the phone as well. I logged onto my emails the first day I got it, the next day it would no longer accept my password, even though I had not changed it, and I have not been able to log on again since.

So it is really now just a basic phone. I do use it to check facebook, but I have since seen other phones which makes using facebook on your mobile so much easier. The ring tones are nothing to write home about and am quite embarressed if my phone rings out loud at the moment. You can no longer use 3 tunes as ringtones, instead you have to pay about £3 in order to down load a ringtone.

I would not reccommend this phone at all, unless all you want is a phone that can make calls and send texts. Though try and opt for a shorter contract in case yours goes wrong as well
