This is a great fone! I've had it for a while now and there are no problems whatsoever...I think the life of the fone depends on how u take care of it. Cos i've been using it for a longtime and i havent damaged the handset. The buttons are workin fine..nothing's falling off..the features are great! Im enjoying the mobile! ....oh and 2those of you trashing the mobile--please DONT...becoz all mobiles have issues...it may work for some people and it may not 4 others!..simple as that! =P

          B.K., 13 Apr 2009The worst phone that I've ever had. All buttons stopped wor... moreI have had this phone for about 3 years. Have to say this is a really gud phone, i hav had no problem with the phone do far, its functions as gud as a new fone...so if u dont know how to use a slider phone, dont buy one, just cause u cant use it doesnt make it a bad phone. Features in this fone are still not found in any other ones so stfu. this fone is genuinly gud, though there are latest models now with much more tech support, still this fone is gud

                  The worst phone that I've ever had. All buttons stopped working after 1 year using period. Please, DON'T BUY this phone, because for this price you can buy better phone from another brand!!!!!!!!

                    I have phone since last November, approx. 5 months and love it. I have had no trouble transferring music or pictures to phone. Memory is a little too small for video capture, though. Phone is a little fragile, as are many of the never touch type phones also, but very good functionality. Would buy it again.

                                the phone is good looking but by far the worst phone i've had yet. Ive only had if for about 4 months or so and already 6 buttonds have cracked and the back button no longer works period and the speaker is fuzzy when i am making a call. deffinitely not worth the buy!

                                    Ok. So to start with. its a pretty good phone. UNTILL I make this new folder i my ringtones[where i usually put my music] and i named it music blah blah blah. and when i tried to upload anything to it. It would say to me its preparing to copy or it doest at all. the file goes in there. and then dissaperes into thin air.
                                    The eats My memory. It uses up the memory that the song would have done. but the song isnt even there.
                                    So I deleted EVERYTHING ad try to start again. ONLY ONE song has copied to my phone. at first i thought YEYYYYYY its working again. But no, Only One song works >.>!
                                    So At this point Im slightly annoyed. and ive been persevering in various ways. I deleted the music file and st elft it as a ringtones folder. Doesnt work. and by this stae im getting REALLY annoyed.

                                    So please. if anyone else has had this problem.. Messege me on either Myspace [www.myspace.com/EMOnemoNIKKI] or Email me At cyber.doll.nikki@hotmail.co.uk

                                    Thanks a lot (L) x

                                      this phone to me isn't too good.
                                      ive had this phone for about a year
                                      3 keys have cracked
                                      my back button does not work at all anymore
                                      wouldn't get it
                                      not worth it after about 5 months

                                        I purchased the phone 19 days ago. 2 days ago i found out the phone is pieces put together. the phone has so many pieces hat they will eventually fall off. Did you know that the antenna at the bottom of the phone, (under the * 0 #) buttons, is covered by a piece of plastic rather than the overall casing? Mine fell off.

                                        The phone has a million software problems, including restarts uddenly and unexpectedly, the phone switches off when the reception dies out. Its so silly.

                                        I wouldnt reccomend this phone, your gonna end up regretting it.
