The way i got this phone was luck really, I went to my local argos store to buy a sony walkman (already reviewed) and while i was standing at the collection point my mum went to the furniture section and were looking at the sofas i brought my walkman and my mum told me there is a mobile phone on the sofa ( it must have sliped out of someones pocket while they were testing the sofa) so we gave it 20 mins and no one claimed it so i did ( iknow it was wrong but if i didnt someone else would have and i know you lot would have done the same.) so for this review i will have to coment on the handset only and the service as i have brought the new threepay pay as you go sim card.
LOOK AND DURABILITY.
This phone looks good as it has a clamshell flip design with a silver front and has the 3 logo on the front and when it is open it it has a fairly large screen with an amazing 65k colour screen. The overall size it quite big but amazingly light which kinda makes up for the size.
EASY OF USE
This phone was a bit difficult to get used to (proberbly because i didn't have an instruction manual oh well can't find em all (lol) but after playing with it for a few hours i picked it up easily as i can a quick learner. The menu system is straight forwards press the menu button on the handset and it has 9 icons like the sony ericcson t68i style.
RANGE OF FEATURES
This phone is packed full of features it has Two cameras on on the front and on on the inside this is if you want to take a picture of yourself, it has a video recoreder mode aswell where you can record 12 seconds on video using either camera. you can also upload music videos using a data cable which i am planning on buying but if you buy this phone from the shop you should have it. It has Bluetooth so you can use it as a computermodem and other bluetooth devices. This handset is also Java compatable so you can download games and other useful application like world clock or something (trying to think of the top of my head). Polyphonic ringtones are great as you can download more of the internet or wap. This also has an built in Audio player so you can download music from the net download it on to the handset and list to it by using the speaker or a handsfree kit.
DISSAPOINTMENT
The reception on this handset is rediculious as the internal anntenna in built to the base of the handset where you hold it from so that was stupid and in my area i can not get a 3g signal so i can not use the internet sevices or make video calls, also the battery life it tidious too as i had to charge it 3 times in one day but i am looking to invest into the extended life battery which is half price on the three web site for a tenner so i just might. i have managed to use the 3G features from my relitives house and i am now able to coment on this aswell. Video calling is nothing like what they make it out in the TV adverts, the quality is poor also when you make a call in 3G mode it drops because you out of coverage. (usless).
thanks for reading hope this helps in some way.

Firstly, I would definitely have handed this in! Secondly, I think it's difficult to produce a really helpful review of a 3G handset when you've only been able to access the 2G network.
3 brings together video calling, video clips, location based services and amazing content to browse and download. 3 has great offers and a huge range of the 3G handsets. Visit the 3 Shop to find more info. on offers
