Review: It's a cheap and cheerful 'phone with a surprisingly good set of features for the price I paid (AFAIR, Amazon prefers reviews not to mention prices, so I'll just say it would have been about 2 hours and 5 minutes' work at the minimum wage. :) ). Good points: Good call quality; Nice loud speaker; Feels solid enough (I won't say sturdy, but nothing rattles); 'Real' built-in torch, i.e. a decent LED on the top; 3.5mm headphone jack that also accepts a "3-stripe" plug with a mic; good MP3 player; µUSB connection which works for charging and data (a bit slow though, maybe USB 1.1?); Accepts an old Nokia thin-plug charger; Clear, bright screen; No web browser (though some may consider this a disadvantage); Can use any mp3 as a text alert, but see the comment below about storage. Bad points: No vibration (it has both a silent mode and a 'meeting' mode, which claims to vibrate but doesn't. After emailing the seller they confirmed this model doesn't vibrate); Camera quality is awful (pictures are saved at VGA resolution but I suspect they're interpolated from a smaller CCD); No predictive text; SMS font looks a little odd; Practically no on-board storage, so you will need a µSD card if you want to use any except the provided ring-tones (and I'm pretty sure you will!); Default theme reminds me of the old Windows XP 'Teletubby' theme. Personally I'd rather they'd left out the camera and added a vibrating unit instead. It often turns itself off while charging, but not if I'm using a USB charger. Possibly there's something wrong with my old charger. I did have some misgivings about the key lock, which is deactivated by holding down the 'Call 2'/menu key for a few seconds. That key is right next to the 'Call 1' key, so if something in your pocket taps that part of the 'phone repeatedly you've an excellent chance of making an accidental call, even if you're only using one SIM card. After using the 'phone for six months, I've found spurious calls to recent numbers are rare, but it's by far the worst 'phone I've had for dialing emergency numbers. Too many times I've pulled it out of my pocket to see "99" or "11" (or worse) on the screen. The included 0.5 Ah battery lasts for almost two days on standby, and most of a day if some short calls are made. If, like me, you end up plugging in an adaptor to use the mp3 player in your car, you'll need to spend a few spons on a better battery or an in-car charger. All in all though, an excellent 'phone for the price, and I hope it keeps going.

Review: This phone does not work as it should. It came network unlocked as we expected therefore we put our BT sim into it. When people started calling our BT sim number, 90% of the time they got a 'this number is unavailable' message. We tested this ourself and yes this is exactly what happens. Also when sms messages are sent to this phone they never get through. We also tested this. When we took the sim out of this phone and put it into an old basic Nokia phone, 24 sms messages came through straight away. The messages were being held in a network queue somewhere waiting for the number to become available. Now I know this phone is cheap basic phone but it still needs to work as a basic phone. We only wanted text messages and phone calls. This phone does neither, so whats the point? Maybe we were just unlucky and had a 'faulty' one. Maybe a replacement would work perfectly well. Who knows? I ended up getting a new nokia 215 instead. I will be returning this as faulty.
