The Good:
- Weight: It weights 2.78 ounces , which is extremely lightweight, and normally means a very small size as well. Men with big fingers may hate coping with a phone that is too small. (score: 16/20)
- Phone Book: It can store up to 500 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
- Memory Expansion Slot: It includes a memory expansion slot MicroSD, a useful way to store more music and pictures or transfer them from and to your laptop computer. (score: 10/10)
- Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which will prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
- Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)
The Average:
- Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 192 hours. It is about average. (score: 12/20)
