I am in the third week of living with the phone having moved over to Three to take advantage of their cheap tariffs. The phone is a paradox of thoughtfulness and infuriation. The phone is a clam shell design which closes with a loud crack. It has a bright but not particularly hi res LCD display. It has two cameras to show the owner or something in front of them rather than having a rotating one like Samsung. The phone is quite heavy and bulky even for a down market handset but still manageable. The phone comes with a high quality hands free kit, two battery chargers and a disk that allows it to sync with your PC via a USB cable (included).

The idea of having two chargers was a clever touch, as is the high quality handsfree kit. Calls are generally loud and clear. Where things get tricky is using other facilities such as texting. The system just does not live up to the high standards of usability set by Nokia, being unintuitive and providing too much information in the form of icons at times.

At the moment the phone is the best in Three's range and I would heartily recommend their call plans but I can't wait to upgrade to a Nokia
