I love the torch, thermometer, stopwatch and sound meter and durability of the handset - as I have a tendency to drop my mobiles on the ground or in cups of tea. Most of my handsets havent lasted me 6 months but I've had this handset for years and it's still in perfect condition.
I find the keyboard buttons really hard to use when texting, playing games and finding someones phone number in a hurry. The reception is great when talking to someone but I never managed to get good reception when using the radio. I find the torch on the phone extremely handy when getting in and out of the car at night or finding things under furniture or in a power cut.
Overall I would recommend this phone to people wanting a mobile for emergency use only or storage of numbers, rather than for people who like texting and playing games alot.
