I was thinking about buying this phone for £190 from carphone warehouse on orange, just wondering if anyone else has got it and what they think of it?

Its a top class phone, i would say the only thing better than it is an iphone but they cost alot and have a few big faults. 2 things wrong with it though; Battery life isnt great but lasts all day if your messing around on it and it takes a long time to load up. For MSN it is great, for emails it is great, surfing the net its great......9/10 for me

Fantastic phone, I got it on a £25 a month contract, absolutely love it, has a fair few different applications and for msn in particular is fantastic, one thing you should do is get unlimited internet, because trust me, you'll be wanting to use it a lot. Internet browser is also one of the best browsers I've seen on a phone, looks slick and smooth and the loading speed is fantastic too.

Music plays extremely well on the phone, obviously probably not as good as an iphone, but they were built for the music facility anyway, speaker's fairly loud so unless you're in a huge room, you wont want it any louder. Obviously though you'll probably need to get an external mini-SD card, I have 2GB and that's enough for me as I have an ipod.

Battery life, I think is extremely good considering the processes the phone has, if you turn the net on, it constantly stays on (even when you aren't using it) so you recieve emails as soon as they are sent, this is one of the big reasons for my recommending of unlimited net, if you forget to turn your wifi off, your credit can get eaten very quickly. I have my net on all the time while my phone's on, battery lasts 3-4 days depending how much I use the phone, this is wayyyyy more than my old phone (LG Viewty KU990) which only lasted 2 days when not in use and went to as little as 4 hours when constantly used. Big difference and no trouble to charge at all.

My contract is £25 a month, with 400minutes and unlimited texts and internet. Also got the choice of a free xbox 360 arcade, £100 cash in hand straight away, £5 a month off my contract or a Nintendo DS. I took the 360 (from Carphone Warehouse)

Best phone I've ever bought 9.5/10 from me

I bought an iPhone a few months ago but never opened it. After much deliberation and opinion-seeking I decided not to open it and I'm lucky enough to know a manager of a phone shop who told me to bring it back and trade it in for this phone. So I did, and I absolutely love the phone...blackberry phones are awesome, and are so much more reliable than iPhones, especially when you have a tendency to drop phones

yeah i agree, blackberry phones are awesome

iphone

I had my viewty for a month before the screen cracked, only had it in my pocket, took it out and the screen had cracked, had a hard case as well, doubt I'll ever trust touch screen phones again cuz their screen is very easily damaged

Had it for months not a mark on it yeah wouldnt reccomend a hard case I have an iskins which take impact much better.
