Motorola T191 - O2 - Pay And Go

It has lots of fun things you can waste your time on, like supermen flying into walls for a screensaver, WAP, downloadable ring tones (5), and games like snake. Being a teenager, it is perfect for wasting time when you should be working!

It also has useful features like predictive text, and it actually fits into your pocket so you don't need to cart a bag round everywhere! The size is one of the main advantages; it is not too small, so it's actually possible to type messages on it, but it is not too big. It has an aerial but the positive features outweigh it; plus it's not one of those big ariels that look like a telephone mast (actually that's what most of them are!).

Nokia afficionados may despair to hear that it has- gasp - no changeable covers. However, it's a lot smaller (and lighter) than the Nokia 3310, with the added feature of WAP, all for a lesser price, so just don't waste your time (you can do that once you've bought the Motorola T191!).

Reputation, reputation...don't let the fact that it's not a Nokia put you off. It's not a car, not even a Skoda (which are OK but Ford are better) so why bother with brands and hype? In fact a gaggle of my nokia-owning friends swarmed all over my mate's motorola- for several very good reasons. It's small, it's silver (like the beige of computers, or maybe the new black), and it's packed with features. And at £59.99 (+p&p), it's an absolute bargain!!

Overall this is a very good phone-it's really really small (compared to a brick anyway), has games which are just essential if you don't want to get beaten up (ouch!), and a shiny silver face- why would you want to change that?!

The games are good (they include a version of Snake), but it's the overall function which appeals to me. Unlike many older phones, the keys are quick and easy to use (so it doesn't take half an hour to type a message even without predictive text set to 'on') and the size is manageable. It also has vibrate for those history lessons when you are very bored and want to send messages to mates without the teacher knowing...It makes the overhyped Nokia 3310 seem like a brick by comparison!

My only 'complaint' is that the keys may be too small for some, but, like anything in life, you get used to it. This phone also has a choice of screensavers - including superman flying into a wall, which is quite amusing! The keys are also backlit, which means you can actually SEE which keys you are pressing.

Overall this phone is very good (especially at Amazon's price!), but some people may not like the small keys, and the cover cannot be changed. But who cares when it actually fits in your pocket?
