I've had this phone for 2 years now. It's never caused me any problems at all. It's a cute phone and it has the basics of all modern appliances. The camera phone might not be the best but it is good for what it was worth when it was released.

Sometimes when clicking through my files, it does take a few seconds. But that's because the phone is pretty much worn out.

I would recommend this phone, because I've never had any problems with it and the phone is cute, small and nice.

I bought two phones as presents to wife and daughter. My wife loves the phoe for it beauty, low weight, quality of sound, and picture. Of late the camera just popos up photographing at random and therefore interfering with receipt of calls. What is the matter? Please help.

Phone freezes alot. Very slow texting you have to wait for the phone to catch up with you.

Very pretty, but terrible, tbh.

I was thinking of getting this phone from woolworths, but it seems like everyone is cutting in down so am abit 50-50 on the situation. I have bought a phone from woolworths before which was the samsung s401i and I completely hate it. I have serched this cell phone and it says that it has video but many people have said other wise. The most important thing is... does it set mp3`s as ringtones, thats may main concern because I cant do that on the phone I have now. If there are any other downfalls about the phone or even good things about it I would really like to know.
