    First smartphone for a teenager, simple but perfectly functional and sufficiently powerful. Ordered in 'very good condition', the phone actually looks... as good as new. Fast delivery. In short, all good.

    Just a mistake about the delivery method, which should have been home delivery. This would have avoided having to deal with a very unpleasant shopkeeper.
