T-Mobile Vivacity

Very low price ; Compact design ; Looks a lot like an iPhone 4

Not the best camera ; Sometimes difficult to text on ; No Flash support

Bad, bad coverage with the my network. Now they have rebranded and somehow messed up reception, coverage is awful! A trifle slow at times and Internal memory rather low. But hey, this device makes calls,texts,is a SatNav, camera,mp3 player, video...

after 8 months, screen freeze on the t-mobile welcome page

Easy to use

Battery life appalling Last about two hours on internet radio. Can't seem to get FM radio on speaker instead of headphones.
