Sleek and stylish. This phone looks good but I find sometimes it struggles to keep up with me. If you want to take pictures using your phone I wouldnt recommend this one. Good design, easy functionality. Overall a good phone. Comes with a carry case.

This phone is packed with features, has a touch screen with force feedback. It has good media capability with a slot for a micro SD card inside.

This phone is basically the Samsung copy of the iPhone but has a couple of different features with the 5mp camera and SD slot. Overall this phone is very good and once you get used to the touch screen and menu's becomes increasingly easy to use.

This is a very nice looking phone, unfortunately it suffers from a number of significant flaws.

The biggest is the touch screen.

Whilst it's an excellent idea it doesn't work very well. I find that every time I touch my finger to the screen to move down a list in a menu rather than letting them scroll it just selects the the first item I touch, making it virtually impossible to scroll through menus.

Secondly the fact that the screen locks when a call comes through, meaning you have to unlock it to answer, it then locks during the call, meaning you have to unlock it again to hang up.

Overall its a very nice looking phone, but it's totally unusable.
