Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Facebook, Skype and Windows Live integration
  • HSDPA
  • Solid, stylish construction
  • Good battery life
The bad:
  • No Wi-Fi
  • No 3.5mm headphone socket
The bottomline:

An HSDPA phone at this price is sure to raise the bar in the prepaid segment. The Facebook integration is superb, and adds nicely to an otherwise reliable and solid phone.

Editors’ rating:

9/10

RRP: AU$249.00
