ok this phone arrived for me today, was looking forward to something basic with a fresh battery and eagerly set it all up.

After a few minutes itself i was close to giving it to the dog to chew and destroy. now i understand why the phone is so cheap. play must be desperate to get rid of them. The voice function telling you what is at each menu is good at first seeing as there is no bloody words to tell you. but the repetative voice will drive you insane within seconds when browsing through it.
Having to read through a received long text on this phone is painful torture as it will only show 6 characters from the text on screen at one time, so not only do you have to scroll through endlessly to get to the end, you also have to peice together words bit by bit to make heads or tails of what is being said!

browsing through your phonebook is as complicated and irritating as scrolling through a long text as having a name in the phonebook longer then 6 characters means having to scroll through to ensure you don't confuse two identical names with a different surname or something.
ringtone selection is narrowed down to 1 of 7 choices which is fair enough for a phone this price i believe, althought they could have put a lot more effort into them, since they are about as basic as infant maths.

calling this a bargain phone is far too generous, it is simply the reject of the phone world. I won't ever forget my humilation as to buy this...abomination!
