Motorola V180

Advantages: buttons for texting, style, outside scree
Disadvantages: basic, cheap

This cheap flip phone that was given to me for free with a contract. It has had an excellent battery life, and resisted so far, the all the daily drops and falls. Three features I enjoyed the most: 1. the outside screen, which doesn't just display the time but also shows messages 2. The buttons were perfect for texting and haven't stopped working yet. 3.

Disadvantages Sometimes it can be laggy...

Two things I can think of for this phone is that sometimes when you are scrolling through the menu, it wont do anything then it will skip about to options, but this doesnt happen every time you use the phone.

It's a phone, but it has extra features that I could use if I so wished. Its main funtion, for making phone calls, is well performed. I live in a fairly hilly area, and we go on holiday to places where they've never even heard of mobile phones, and yet it stil manages to find a signal somewhere. It even had two bars of signal 100 yards into a tunnel when I was on the train, which is pretty good going. The sound quality's pretty good as well, although this suffers when you use the speakerphone. Texting... Read review
