T-Mobile Vivacity

It's a little tacky to look at and hold, but this budget smartphone has a decent specification and the 480x800 screen is great

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

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

Cheap, only fifty squids with a tenors airtime! Has lots on it for the price. Calls are clear when you can get through - see below. Screen is very reasonable. Camera is ditto.

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
