4.9/5Very good, except the SMS settings don’t include French or an AZERTY keyboard... It must be from Scandinavia, judging by the languages on offer.

4.6/5It's very good, nothing to say about the phone's condition. However, I couldn't set the keyboard to AZERTY mode; there are only two possible languages, English and Italian, both in QWERTY. It's impossible to change, and I find that very annoying.

4.4/5Appliance compliant, except for a slightly weak loudspeaker which started to crackle at first. This has not happened since. I have to increase the light each time I switch it on again, as it automatically dims each time. Otherwise, for the moment, the device works.
