I bought this phone just over a week ago on the internet for £40 as I had just sold my Samsung E700 which was vastly overpriced see my review on that. Money is tight just now so I was looking for a stopgap phone to do until I could afford a better one, enter Woolworths online.

SETUP

This was easy enough the phone just needed my sim and the battery installed.It came with a couple of pictures which you can slide into the back to supposedly customise your phone.A bit pointless I felt

TEXTING

Well compared to my last phone the Samsung E 700 this phone at least allowed me to enter my text without having to change over from T9 constantly. However and this is the reason I am now sending the phone back I am quite a fast texter my the time I got to the 3rd line of my text message the phones software couldnt keep up with me. i had to text at a snails pace and considering Im not even familiar with the phone thats scary. If you text alot this phone may be a very bad idea!

SOUND

Okay well this I cant criticise too much considering this phone has been on the market for quite a while it had better sound than a much more expensive nokia I recently owned 7210. I downloaded a couple of polys and considering the price of the phone was surprised by how good they sounded

GRAPHICS

Very basic but then this is a low budget phone

MMS/GPRS

This phone can send and receive MMS and you can get a clip on camera for it, however due to the texting issues I didnt even keep the phone long enough to buy one

Wap worked fine and was fairly easy to navigate

PHONEBOOK

200 capability but you cant choose a default phonebook eg sim or handset which annoyed me as my sim has alot of 02 pre installed numbers so I had to go past them to get to the ones I wanted. Also you can only store one number for each person.

SUM UP

Okay this is a good price but dont be fooled, I am trying out new phones as I thought the sound capability and designs of my recent Nokias could be doing with improvement, however I would stress that all in all I want a phone that I can text quickly with and is very functional so far Nokia is still winning on that front. Generally I think this phone would be a false economy, there are better models for the same price.

A NOTE

An icon also appeared on the screen before I sent it back which i discovered was to warn me my inbox was full it was empty and reading another couple of reviews this has been a problem on a similar model
