Very good

7

out of 10

View score

The good: Wafer-thin; good build quality; decent VGA camera.

The bad: Dualband; attracts fingerprints; small display; poor battery life.

The bottom line: Design is the main selling point of the X200 so itÂ’s only recommended for users who like what they see.

Nice design + quality



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 
Cons: 
Opinion:
The first mobile phone that looks better in real life than in photos. Design attracted me, and when the clear bright LCD flashed in front of me, I bought it. It has enough features, although the calendar is missing. Camera is fine, messaging (SMS and MMS) is rather easy and functional, voice and signal quality are excellent. If you are not some mobile phone freak, this device will do just fine. Best of all, you can feel the quality when holding it. There are no squeaky sounds or loose parts. Everything is in place and precise. Excellent phone, especially after you look at the price tag.

 


Added extras: Induces stomach ulcers



Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: 
Cons: 
Opinion:
This phone is very thin and very light. People say "oooh, look at your phone" when they see it. As I am not an 11-year-old girl this is of little consolation. The battery lasts 2 days and dies suddenly. Buttons are poorly positioned and unresponsive. There is an annoying lag when texting. Speakerphone is so quiet you still need to hold the phone to your ear and everything takes ages to process. I hate this phone. The light weight is pointless if you have to carry a stress ball to counteract the frustration. I'd rather have an extra gram in my pocket and buy a Nokia, made to be efficient rather than impressive to 11-year-old girls.

 


Just bought and luv it



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 
Cons: 
Opinion:
It's slim and weightless... Don't even feel it when it's in my pocket. Connectivity is great, works just fine and the signal is always reasonable! It's very customizable! Only thing they need to fix is the calendar... i luv it now but a notes function is missing...
