Review

This has in the recent one week became my personal phone. While I was initially looking for a phone with more function, I was impressed by the fact that it was an eco-green phone and looks stylist without looking cheap.
The phone is simple to use and user interface is inutitive, especially if you have used an Sony Erisson phone before.

Good

Excellent battery life. As promised, the phone uses much less power in it’s standby mode. What I find is even the talk time is great, averaging 13 to 14 hours.

The phone is made from recycled plastic. It feels sturdy and I feel that it is not one of the delicate phones which will die on me just when I need it most.

The phone is cheap, you should be able to get it free with any subscription plans.

Screen is bright and clear. A pleasure to view

Bad

Camera quality is average, especially after trying other phones with much better cameras. Sound quality is acceptable, but I probably won’t use this as my walkman phone.

Conclusion

This simple phone is a wonderful reminder of what mobile phones should be, just phone without trying to be everything else. There is also the feel good factor of carrying an eco-friendly phone. Once in a while, I do miss better quality cameras in my other phones.
