Was about to be all over it, until realised it was the 3G version not 4G. Possibly still worth it as a mifi.

This is 2015 & the spec of this item in "smartphone" terms is marginal in nearly every respect, and the 3.5" screen will make the majority of smartphone apps' usage annoyingly scroll-heavy. It will have it's niche uses such as mifi or near-disposable night-out phone, but as a phone-only there are more appropriate options. No denying the remarkable price though.

Written on the gizmodo.com website in 2011 :--

"And that is exactly why we would never see any larger screen iPhone. That 3.5-inch screen will be the ideal size until all humans are 7-feet tall and have hands the size of frying pans."

Granted, the IPhone 4s had a super resolution screen, but there`s not that much wrong with a 3.5 incher. My wife is satisfied with mine. :smirk:

I have the 5.5 inch Plus, difficult to get decent protection for it though.

It must be small enough for her to get a good grip on it and the price is right lol

This is 99p via upgrade

this is possibly the worst phone ever if you want to use it as a phone, there is no actual ear speaker i think , there is only one loudspeaker on the back which is heard quietly through the phone to the front, and on speaker mode is just a bit louder, either way it is not loud enough. you end up having to hold the loudspeaker side to your ear instead just so you can hear it. However that being said it can be used as just a hotspot device for 3g which is fine for most things, and the battery whilst doing this lasts quite a long time when compared to my S4 mini which runs out in half the time. it can run skype whatsapp viber etc but there is no front cam. It is also good to give my kids so that they can go off to play with their friends and can call if needed, and i can keep track of their location on google maps.

No Front Camera?.. CPW website says it has VGA Front Camera.
Did you get yours from CPW?

all the reviews say this model has a front camera but it doesnt, at least the white backcover versions of this phone sold at sainsburys didnt. so i am probably wrong but i may as well buy one of these just to find out, and give it away as a present.

Thanks. can you also tell us what is the model number is it 4009X or 4009F or ?.

got the black version from cpw ordered online and it has no front cam. I was hoping it would but it doesnt

Can get this for free now with £20 top up
