SkypeIn and UK skype out not available
Customer Rating: 
If you're thinking of using SkypeIn and calling uk numbers using skype on this handset forget it.
You really can't expect 3 to let you call their core market segment for free now can you - but shame on them for not letting you know upfront!
It's the old addage - if it looks too good to be true then it probably is.
Ho hum.
Phone good, Skype not so good
Customer Rating: I've had this phone for about a year now. I have this black one for my BF and the white and blue one for myself. The reason I got it was that Italy has the 3 network and so I thought it would be a cheap option to call home when I'm away.
The Skype feature is very attractive and in theory, is brilliant. But that's just in theory. It hardly works. It took a couple of days for it to finally connect when I was in Italy so I had already spent most of my credit on calls and texts. When it did connect it would often disconnect within a minute or have really bad reception. The Skype messages would come in a random order, if at all.
Over the past year, I've also had the chance to use it when I'm away in different cities around the UK. I was hoping the bad Skype connection was limited to Italy - but it isn't...
To put it simply, the Skype calls don't last for more than a couple of minutes, and that's when both Skype phones are in the same region! The Skype messages are usually sent but not always received in the right order or at all.
The phone itself is quite nice and I like the Menu and features, etc. Even the camera isn't so bad. The 3G internet is usually ok but can take quite a while to load most pages, even just google. The battery life is not all that bad, but it doesn't take very long to charge it up.
On the whole I would've given the phone maybe a 4 star but because it almost completely let me down on the sole aspect I got it for, the Skype service, I had to give it a 2 star at best.
Sleek, Simple and Good Looking
Customer Rating: I got this phone as a Christmas present and I have to say, after one year of common usage, this phone is very good. It also looks quite good as all the dudes at my school think that it looks "cool" ha ha. It is easy to use as the display is nicely set up and the buttons feel good. I also have to point out that it is a skype phone so it is very useful if you have Skype. It comes with a whole lot of ring-tones, an alarm, a calculator, a calendar and some other useful features. It also has a very good filming capability: it has 2 megapixels, better than my old polaroid digital camera, ha ha. And it also films with sound. Another very useful thing is this phone has the internet. Lets say you want to search something up on google quickly - well you can do that easily with this phone. My only criticism would be the lining on the back keeps coming of. Unless, it's is supposed to come off - if so, then please leave a comment - thankyou. Other than that, this is a great, neat little phone which is very reliable and fun to use.
