That says quite alot, it has retty much everything. It is only yesterday that I went out and bought this phone in blue, on tesco mobile. It cost me £69.97 from tesco, with £20 free credit, so for a phone it was very reasonably priced. It is fair to say that so far I have found very very few faults. For the price I was expecting a substandard sub-modern phone, but no, way way better than that!!!
Looks... The phone is very slim, average when it comes to how tall it is and width wise it is very thin. It has touch sensitive pads, something I was unsure about as I have heard bad reports about them on phones such as the lg chocolate, but these work well, though they are sensitive and can be a little hard to get used to. Never the less very good. The phone is blue in
colour, a sort of royal blue, very attractive and very modern looking. It slides smoothly to reveal more numbered buttons which are normal press buttons. They are a good size and easy to press, not a bit fiddly and definately not too small, like many modern phones. The main menu scroll pad is normal buttons which are on the outside of the phone and these are also blue, allowing movement in the menu section in up, down, left and right movements, but not diagonally. There is a somewhat confusing i button in the centre too, which takes you onto the web browser, ticks things, accepts things adn whenever you press it it seems to have a different function. Ah well, it is there and does something, just don't ask me what. There is a covered hole for adapter/charger on one side and one the same-ish also covered for a memory card on the other. A disfunctional camera buttton and a power button on the same side as the charger/adapter plug in point. On the other side there is a two sided button that alters the volume of the key tone. When the phone is slid up there is a blue backlight on the touch buttons and white backlight on the numbered butons. The screen is bright and colourful and 1.3mp in resolution, so all in all, no complaints there, extremely good.
Now onto the menu section, I am going to talk you through the menu options. On each menu option you hover over there is a list that appears giving you a brief idea of what is in it, very helpful if you are unsure where to look for something There are 9 main menu options each colour coded, which is a nice feature... Call Log... this gives you access to the details of recent calls made, recieved and missed. These are easy to delete when required, and are easy to access. Phonebook... Allows you to create, search aand speed dial contacts, handy for people not good at remembering phones numbers or just with lots of numbers to store. Applications... Applications gives you access to a very good music player function, that plays mp3 music that you can download from your computer. Headphones, a software disc and a usb cable are supplied in the box for this. There is a built in voice recorder, an alarm clock, and an absolutely amazing selection of games, three full games (archangel, airship racing and bobbycarrot) and three trial games, (tetris, sudoku and one more that I deleted as I did not like it and can't remember what it was). All of these are great games anyway. There is also a built in radio, world clock, timer, calculator, currency converter stopwatch and memo, so loads of accessories there for you to use. Web Browser... I do not know what this is like as I have never used it, but it is there none the less. Messages... Gives you access to messages recieved, sent, and even tamplate messages. My Files... Gives you access to all of your media files. This gives you This is where your photos, music, sounds, movies and such are stored. It also allows you to view memory, and if you have a memory card for the phone gives you access to the items stored on that and allows you to transfer items to/from the memory card and phone. Calender... A simple calender and organiser function. Camera... The phone has a built in 1.3 megapixel camera which is not the best in a phone, many are 2mp now, but it is still good. The picture quality is good and better than the traditional vga camera offered on a phone. Settings... Allows you to personalise your phone, change the time and date, change the backlight settings, ring settings, sounds, screensavers and other such likes. Also has security settings, bluetooth and all of the other things you need.
Memory... The memory is the only major problem I have with the phone, it has a very very miniscule built in memory, that could hold about 3 songs if lucky. I have now got a memory card to espand the memory which helps alot. The phone takes a microSD card which are easy enough to pick up from anywhere really, from rgos to phone shops. I would not reccomend getting one from argos as a member of my family had two from argos, neither of which wored in his phone, his last was from the carphone warehouse which worked fine. I have today been and purchased one from the carphone warehouse, a 1GB MicroSD card for £12.99. They also had a 2GB and I believe that that was £24.99. I would reccomend getting a memory card straight away with your phone, however if you do not want to use it for ongs and media, but just for calls and texts, there may not be any need.
Conclusion... A brilliant little phone, great looks, easy to use, great features. I would reccomend it to anyone looking for a new phone. It is reasonably priced and definately well worth the money, Just memory as a downside but that is easy and relatively cheap to fix! A great phone, the best I have ever had. Hope you like it too!

Excellent review. I agree totally, a fantastic phone - only downside is small memory and for me, the over sensitivity of the touch buttons - I have often accidently rung the first person on my contact list by mistake (oops) :-)
