I've had the phone a couple of days now. Not impressed that it took me 10 minutes to find out how to send a text message. The help (whicth you can only view with the phone turned on) contains detailed instructions on how to turn the phone on, but nothing on the basic function of how to send a text message. The YouTube app need an update through the google app that wouldn't work without an upgrade that in turn required me to have a google play account. No, I cannot be bothered. The Chrome browser didn't work (most text missing). My expectations are now so low that I really don't expect anything to work properly, and the invitation to 'add a city' is just annoying. I will persevere, but by 20 quid Nokia worked better. BTW I'm an IT professional and expect technology to work.
The plus points are the lack of buttons on the side of the phone (I find some phones quite difficult to hold without pressing buttons by mistake). It also takes a standard SIM, so I can take the SIM out and put it back in my candy bar Nokia phone.
Edit: Stopped working after 2 days. SIM now back in Nokia. Very unhappy.
