If you're looking for a low budget mobile phone, this phone is exactly what you're looking for!

My little brother purchased a silver one a day ago and he loves it. I've used it quite a bit setting up the various settings for him and I'm impressed too.

It has an microSD card slot, bluetooth, mp3 player, fm radio, 1.3mp camera and other features you would never expect such a cheap device to have. It looks attractive, is very small, has a smooth sliding mechanism, comes with a headset and overall just doesn't look as cheap as it costs.

Apparently the battery life isn't great, but my brother and I charge our mobiles every night so we don't care.

Grab the phone while you can. The other mobile phones in this price bracket can't touch it in terms of features and aesthetics.

don't like the fone. needs software updates. my sister has exactly the same problems with it as i do and we are not impressed. refuses to read a micro sd card with data on, wants to format the card and can't find a usb cable for the fone anywhere. was a big mistake buying the fone

Great phone! The sleek silver design and carefully made slide-up ability make this phone get 10/10 for looks. The phone also isn't short of features; bluetooth, 1.3 mp camera, video, mp3 etc. Low battery life but the features make up for this slight flaw. MP3 actually plays great quality music and the MP3 has many features including equalizer and skins. The only drawback for this phone is the 5MB internal memory. Such low internal memory requires a memory card. This isn't the main drawback however. When bluetooth-ed files it goes strait into internal memory, not external. Which means you can't have any song more than 4MB. However quite a few media files are less than 4MB, so it isn't a big drawback. The phone isn't compatible with USB cables so a dongle is required for importing media files to and from a computer. Overall this phone is amazing and I personally had a great time with it. It's easy to use and has loads of features all for a low price tag. A 9/10 phone.
