The F5 is responsive, has a nice display and is equipped with a user-friendly interface, but we were disappointed by its sub-standard camera.
Not sure if they’ve pulled the product but the details page just says “No content item selected”
it’s still listed in the shop and you can add it to your basket, just cant view the details page.
