• Advantages: despite being an affordable budget handset this phone supports most features currently available on the Orange network, including EFR for enhanced sound and conference calling. Being the first Orange phone with an FM radio built in and the low price this phone will be a great entry to the mobile internet sector as it uses the new WAP technology.
• Disadvantages: Motorola menu system not as easy to use as some manufacturers. For such a new phone it is quite large and heavy. Predictive text input would have been a nice touch.
• Alternatives: Nokia 3330e is another budget phone, but with a bigger price tag, although a lot more features.
