Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Free Skype-to-Skype calls
  • Good standard phone features
  • Doubles as a broadband modem
The bad:
  • Poor build quality
  • Short battery life
The bottomline:

Skype is a bonus in a budget priced phone that performs well. The camera is fine and a 512MB memory card is a welcome addition. Just don't drop it: we suspect it won't take much damage.

Editors’ rating:

7.8/10
