Luci, Southend Style and looks come first

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: It is very stylish, petite, and modern.
The music sounds are great, loads of different sound settings, camera is clear, doesnt freeze as often as most touch screens do, can hold quite a bit of junk on it, so has loads of space without a memory card!
And, it also has 4 different screens, one to suit YOU. I tend to have the home screen all the time, depends what screen you will use most of the time, like the music one, or the contacts one, or just the applications one.
Bad points:: The one thing i thought it could of done with was a camera protector. I do drop it sometimes, luckily the camera isnt scratched, but it should have a window or something to protect it.

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Smart looking with all the usual modern features. Excellent camera quality.
Bad points:: Because the phone is fully touchscreen, you can't use it if the screen breaks! Also, cold hands sometimes make it difficult for the phone to sense you pressing "keys"
