Recently, the screen has developed a serious fault which is very annoying.
In standby mode (no button pushed for at least ten minutes), the signal strength, time and battery level is displayed clearly, at the bottom of the screen.
However, the moment a button is pushed, the read-out fades and is no longer visible from any angle, even with the backlight on.
Because of this, I cannot see the number I'm dialling, send/receive text, know about missed calls or messages, etc...
The display is only black over blue, but I didn't want a fancy phone, so this doesn't matter.
A good, attractive, basic handset, with a long battery life and a clear audio signal.
But it won't last forever, no matter how you look after it.
I agree with your comment entirely, I still have mine, but after having been dragged around the world, it's not a fan of me anymore, so I had to switch to my old SonyEricsson phone, but it did the trick wonderfully, especially considering the cheap price I got it for.
