If you enjoy getting a phone that looks cool but is very unreliable and breaks if you use it too much then go ahead and buy this phone.

When you first get the phone you are filled with a sense that can only be described as awe. You fall in love with the black cover and silver rim. u adore that u open it by rotating and you can turn it to 90degrees to go to camera mode. The picture quality takes your breathe away and the size of it is just slick.

The phone is easy to navigate and is like most other phones. You can call, you can text you can MMS, and other normal features.

Bad point 1. No video capture which it was actually advertised to have which really got on my nerves.

Bad point 2. After a month every time I closed the phone it would freeze and I would have to take the battery out to get it to turn off.

Bad point 3. After I got it back from being repaired the joystick fell off within a week and they had sent me a new phone, not just repaired my old one.

Bad point 4. It's not that good at picking up signal which you expect most phones to do.

Bad point 5. The charger it very hard to actually get it to connect so you may think your phone is charging when really the battery is just getting weaker and weaker.

Bad point 6. Anything that comes with the phone wish stuck on the phone. They give you some cool animated characters that would look amazing in an MMS and they don't let you send them!

Bad point 7. When looking through your photos it likes to randomly jump to the bottom of the list with out any explanation.

Bad point 8. The idea of having a phone with MP3 playing capabilities is so you can load your favourite songs on. Unfortunately you only get 5.8meg space....so that's enough for two small songs. That space is shared between your songs, pictures, games and messages so you can see it really isn’t enough.

I think by now you have either got the picture that this phone is no way as good as it looks or you have realised this is not the phone for you by "bad point 5".

Please save your money and get a different phone!

    I couldn't agree more. My V80 has been nothing but trouble. I do like the camera though.

    ive had no problems with the phone for 9 months other than the rotate gettting a little loose , but thats all , as for 5 mb , thats plenty for songs if you compress them 16/90.
