  • Pros
    Compact, lightweight, nifty
  • Cons
    Small Screen, low resolution

I have recently purchased this phone just to fill in whilst I wait for better phones to come out as my previous phone was a Sony X10 which has died on me, and going from a 4" to 3" screen and to a lower resolution is a bit of a shock, but I am dealing with it okay as I can still do what I could do on my X10 in regards to smart phone functionality.
For making phone calls, and stuff like Gmail access. It works fine.
The speed and responsiveness of the phone is great.
It makes a great every day phone for someone who just wants something basic or a starter or a low end smart phone. It has Android 2.3, so a lot of good features as any other Android device. Hotspot tethering, you can wirelessly connect to phone via another computer device and use the Internet.
I have found the internal ear piece speaker loud and clear (louder then my X10) and the loud speaker is pretty good too.
As said in the review, it's the size of the screen and the size of the keyboard that let's it down.
Definitely if you don't want to be lugging around a largish 4" screen sized phone, and for the price. This phone is to be considered.
