I bought this phone when it was first released back in September for £49 on Orange, including a £10 top-up. For that price, this has to be one of the best phones on the market for under £50. It's touch screen is very responsive and resistant to damage and scratches. This phone comes in a variety of colours; silver on Orange, Blue on Tesco and Green from CarphoneWarehouse. This phone has some pretty decent features. It has a nice 'widget' section on the main screen from which you can access music, images, internet, messages and the weather and you can drag the icons to the main screen section to enlarge them. I absolutely love the clever little weather application, it found my town easily and its weather forecast is extremely accurate! I also like the LED light buttons on the front, they're very nice and also responsive and when browsing the menu you can flick your finger to the side, to scroll through the menu. The menu itself is very simple and easy to use and much better than other high-end phones I have personally used. As for multimedia capabilities, you can take/view images/videos and not just ones taken from the 1.3 megapixel camera built in to the phone, as I have been able to view photos taken from my digital camera. There is also a MP3 player and an FM radio, both work quite well with good sound quality. There is also a MicroSD slot(up to 4GB) and bluetooth built into this phone. Internet capabilites are okay for a GPRS device, but mine does not display Orange's web pages properly but displays every other web page I have tried as it should. As for battery life, mine seems to last about 5 days/week with a few calls, texts and GPRS daily usage. If you buy this on Orange, you get some earphones and a 1 metre long USB cable bundled in the box. Overall this is simply an excellent phone and I recommend it to anyone who is going to buy a pay as you go phone for under £50 :)
