Heather, London Basic text and chat user

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: The camera is great and I found the phone at lot easier to use than most of the touchscreen phones I have tried out as its really responsive and simple to understand.
Bad points:: The battery life is not great and it seems to be very picky about the chargers it will accept. The SD card also seems to occasionally unmount itself but this hasn't caused any big problems or loss of any files.
