    A simple, almost perfect phone

    I wanted a simple, robust phone with good battery life. I'm delighted. After 2 weeks of normal use (a few calls, a few texts and a bit of music listening), the battery is still at over 50%!
    The phone is quite easy to use and has a lot of settings for the display and ring tones. Some useful applications like the calculator, calendar, mp3 player or fm radio (which works very well even through the speaker) and a torch function make it a really nice device for a reasonable price.
    So why only 8/10? Simply because if you can use a bluetooth headset to call or listen to music, it is impossible to listen to the radio in bluetooth... you will have no other choice than the wired headphones or the speakerphone to listen to the fm. Too bad, otherwise it was a real 10/10.

    Strong, simple and functional

    This phone is for a very elderly person who cannot use touchscreen smartphones.
    It doesn't change his habits from his old phone, and it's drop-proof and water-resistant.
    Ideal for 92 year old grandpa.
