    NOTHING!
  • Cons
    EVERYTHING!

I got this phone about 4 months ago and it is already breaking, and I hardly use the phone, and the problem could not have been done physically. The slide does not slide out or gets stuck half way, good baybe when it did work is really easy to type. Also have to lock screen so doesn't go onto who nos what.

BASICALY IM SAYING DONT BY IT!!! P.S MY FRIEND HAD THE SAME PHONE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!!!

    quality

brought this phone late november. To sum it up in one word... crap. Do not waste your money. Had it for 3 months and randomly,coloured lines appeared across it making it unusable. Took it back to the shop as they said they would send it to telstra to be fixed. Well, my phone sat in the place of purchase for two weeks and it was not sent off. this left me disadvantaged with out a mobile phone. When i went to get it back i was told that it had not been sent off yet so i was given a replacement. As annoyed as i was, i accepted the replacement only to take this home and to discover that this was not working either. I have given up on this phone and have gotten my money back.

So my advice is.... do not buy this phone!!! save your hard earned cash!
(BTW, i know that i am not the only person with these problems as one of my friends has experienced similar troubles)

Please save your time and money, do not buy this phone.

first use the screen kept jumping menus. On return from warranty repair the qwerty keypad had lost a row of functioning keys. Would not reccomend this phone. A real lemon. Waiting to see whats wrong when it eventually returns.

  • Pros
    Phone is awesome buy it
  • Cons
    Slow on google

This phones quite alright old chap. Don't trust the expert rating as the 'expert' is obviously 30+ when the things aimed for teens or so to buy! In short guys, ratings from him dont matter!

    Touch Screen..... a little slow

I Own this phone and there hasnt been one problem. Except the touch screen, it still works but when using the background shortcuts it is just a bit slow.... Oh and in australia in is only $79, BigW sell them for $59 at the moment. Over all id rate it, 7.5 out of 10. for how cheap it is id always buy it. :) hope this helped

this is the crappiest phone EVER!! The touch screen hardly ever works. When the touch screen doesnt work that mean you cant send text messages! what a waste of money!! But i do like the qwerty keyboard. i give you a piece of advice: DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!
