+ camera qualities are excellent far better than some digital cameras about and saves carring your phone and a carmera around with you, same for the music walkman its fab and saves carring aroung an ipod and the expence of only having one item to do 3 jobs plus
- softfware on this phone is rubbish i have had my phone just under 2 months now and i have already had to up load new software for it, as when tx just freezes, switches off when useing.

Dave, Finsbury Park, “Keen phone user!”
+ The camera is brilliant! And looks superb.
- Battery power drops off significantly when you use the flash which is understandable. If you don't lock it the phone will link to the internet which by accident which is irritating.

+ Looks good, easy to navigate and use. Probably the best phone I have had in a very long time - and I've had quite a few!
- Little dissapointed with the battery life - if you use camera or viewing functions it seems to drain the battery pretty quickly.

Aimie, Glasgow
+ brilliant phone all round,
- sometimes slow and freezes, but ive learned this is due to the fact i dont turn the phone off. apparently you have to turn the phone off and on at least once a day, for some techincal reason i cant remember, but apart from that i really like this phone!

Emma, London
+ Its easy to use, very good looking and has a reasonable amount of phone memory. The camera is good ... although i'm still new to learning how to use it and work out all the extra features on there.
- Battery life is a downfall on this phone but this may be because i use my phone alot more now. I don't have much else to moan about with this phone.

+ camera quality is great and it`s a very stylish phone and slim and lightweight
- on my k750i i could pause the music whilst in hands free mode and phone was locked but no function for this on this phone which can be a pain but to be fair this is my only problem with the phone oh and of course the stupid red light that comes on when making a movie`s

+ Great looking Mobile and really easy to use.
- This mobile seems to struggle to have reception in my house whilst my older Sony was fine I have not changed networks etc so must be a phone feature?.....

- Apparently the camera has high mega pixels, but due to the shutter speed it is rare that you will get a non-blury picture - makes it pointles for those impromptu snaps
16 Oct 2008
Dann, Tamworth, “Travel & Tourism Student”
+ Good camera with flash, so much more to do compared to other phones - Google Maps, downloadable Apps, downloadable games, good internet browsing, a new media player, different themed menus.
- The touch screen parts of the screen get really annoying when taking a photo of yourself as you can accidentally touch them, causing all different menus and options to pop up instead of taking the photo. Also, even with the image stabilizer, the picture is still sometimes blurred - the phone must be held perfectly still.

- Short battery life

Kerry, St.andrews
+ It's all good. It looks good and it's relatively compact. It has a fantastic camera which takes great shots.
- The angle of the number keys took a while to get used to and the battery runs out really quickly.

Steve, Wolverhampton
+ Camera is easy to use and gives a decent crisp image.
- The keys are angled and often late to respond to pressing. Countless times I've typed a text only for nothing to appear on the screen or the phone locks up for a few seconds. At present no reminders set are working and I am in the process of having a replacement unit.

Aslam, Middlesex
+ its a great phone, it looks stylish, very smart and attractive. the camera is absolutely perfect couldnt get anything beter at the moment.
- there are several bad points to this phone. the phone regular freezes whether being on the phone or listening to music, also can be really slow. my reccomendations are, if you are a camera person, buy the phone, but if you are a individual who likes to listen to music or to use the phone in a business...forget about it. buy a nokia N95.

Laura, Winchester
+ it looks good, it has a clear screen
- it freezes quite a lot and can be slow. Plus it keeps going onto the web without me even realising i've pressed the key

+ its small thats it
- near enough evrything, keeps turning off especially whilst on a call... battery life is very poor too... and without a xenon flash doesnt make the camera anywhere near as good as the k800i.

+ Great camera, looks stylish and very nice screen, very easy to navigate and use.
- Slow responding during navigation, lack of included themes, shortcut keys and call/end call are too close together (often end up putting on loudspeaker instead of hanging up!)

Kathryn, Newtownards
+ The phone is small and easy to use. The camera is very good and the pictures are very clear.
- When I am on the phone, it can cut out for a few seconds and I can't hear the person I am talking to. The phone also freezes quite often for a few seconds. Also some times the alarm does not work even though it was set correctly. For these reasons I am not happy with the phone.

Andrew, Basingstoke, “an amazing man”
+ Looks nice, great features. Very simple to use and a dead cert to impress the friends.
- Although this is supposed to have a great camera, the flash lets it down. The pictures are always very dark and poor. I actually found the camera, although lower MP, better on the K800i.

+ smart looking, camera is great, feels solid and has a good weight to it
- i dont like alot of the animation effects, such as menu's fading in and backgrounds fading darker, they feel slow and unnecessary, also keypad is a bit stiff

- The battery life isn't great when using the phone throughout the day. Phone keeps crashing with the screen freezing then turning off, it is also very slow when texting and freezes during this also. I know 3 or 4 people with the same phone and we all have the same problems.

Steve, Liverpool
+ excellent camara and video this i would recommend if you like to take pictures and record video
- battery life not very good if you use video or bluetooth a lot (i use both these options a lot and found the battery only lasts a short time if they made a better battery for this phone i would give it 10 out of 10

Lee, Crawley
+ good camera solid buttons
- battery life - vodaphone button too sensitive keeps going on internet when not meaning to
08 Sep 2008
Leanne, Portsmouth, Hampshire
+ easy to use and very stylish. The camera is devine, both taking photos and films, however, night time pics aren't so good unless you spend lots of time adjusting the settings.
- Adjusting to get a perfect nite photo or video takes a lot of time up that you could kill the moment you're trying to capture. The battery life isn't too bad until you start taking lots of photos or recording videos.
