3, O2, Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone (as 6234) PLUS • Sleek, nicely styled (especially if you like stainless steel or high-gloss black) • Solid feel, well-built
• Loud speaker, good screen, good keys
MINUS
• Surprisingly iffy user interface, especially on menu selections
• Some reliability problems have been reported
WE SAY
The 3G technology in this ‘prosumer’ phone won’t be necessary for many seniors, but as an all-round workhorse for the basics it is a sound piece of work. Excellent sound – may be intended for music but works well as a speakerphone
