Advantages: Stylish, good range of features Disadvantages: No 'piggy-back' connection
I recently purchased a vanity bag from Oasis (fashion shop) and have found it really strong, stylish and useful, with excellent organiser capabilities.
The bag is part of the Oasis luggage collection designed by Antler. At £30 the bag seems about average price, but was definitely the most stylish and had the most features. It fits in with the ethos of Oasis as being individual and fashionable. It is black and curved at the front, and is soft-sided but with a reinforced front.
It is travel-bag sized, with two main sections. Each section includes organiser features, including:
* mobile phone pocket
* 3 bottle straps (for storing shampoo, etc)
* key holder
* A4 sized inside pocket
* pen holders
* other storage pockets
It also comes with a shoulder strap and a padlock.

Advantages: Internal Camera, Large memory, Stylish Disadvantages: Unreliable Alarm, Limited Features, Battery life
I recently upgraded my Samsung D500 to the Samsung Z500. I liked the flip phone design and it had some elements I preferred to the D500. For instance, it displayed the signal strength and time on the external screen which is most useful.

Advantages: small, lightweight, high tech Disadvantages: same manufacturing fault twice
The phone in general is easy to use, small and light to carry around and a lovely phone. However, I have had my model replaced once and repaired once (two separate occasions)- the same problem occurred twice, on two different models. Samsung repaired it for free (it was in warranty and a manufacturer fault)- what happened was that after switching the phone on, the screen would freeze so that it would not respond to any buttons being pressed- be they for an emergency call or to switch the phone off. The only other problem I can think of with this handset is the collection of dust where the join for the 'flip' bit is, but you get that with all flip phones I think.
Despite my problems, I still really like this phone (I've had it for nearly two years)- it's really easy to fit into a small pocket or bag, as well as having a relatively ...
