This is my third mobile & this is the best, I didn't really have any problems, it's not slow, so I don't know what those people were talking about. In the phone there is camera but this camera has frames, brightness. My brother bought a new blackberry curve very good phone, you can't have any brightness on that mobile or frames, there is everything in that phone that a person would need.

An overall good phone but with a very short battery life lets it down. The radio is decent the Walkman is good another letdown is the memory, you can only expand it by 2GB.

The camera could do with being a 2MP instead of 1.3MP. It also has TrackID & opera mini.

Me again. Go down to the fourth from bottom review 31st August 2009, that's completely wrong, sorry, this is an absolutely terrible phone with barely any features AT ALL. If you want a similar phone get the Samsung C3050.

I have the Samsung Genio Touch now. Best phone I've ever had. Cheerio Sony Ericsson :P.

The phone is sleek & stylish, for the price it's good. But the predictive text really spoils the operation of sending a text, it keeps putting words were you don't want them, so you have to keep going back over your text. Texting takes twice as long as it should, I have tried to turn predictive text off completely but it won't seem to do it.

Why do manufacturers still try to ram predictive text down your neck, not everyone wants it.

This phone is rubbish, it comes up with enter sim all the time.

Great phone, stylish, & all I can see from the other reviews everyone is totally wrong! I love it, only thing is that it is slow, & can be quite annoying. As it is quite a newish phone there is a reason for there being not many themes or games. CAMERA ISN'T GREAT BUT IF PRINTED OFF IT LOOKS ACCEPTABLE, NOT BRILLIANT, BUT GOOD FOR INSTANT PHOTOS ON the SPOT.

Great phone, I love it. I got mine in September, & it hasn't gone wrong at all.

Great value as well.

Letters hard to see when texting. Cheap feel, feels plasticy. The worst thing is the very poor battery life. 24 hours on standby. Very disappointing altogether. But looks good & is cheap. Don't just take my word for it the web is full of poor reviews.

DO NOT BUY, USELESS PHONE! Anything that could go wrong, went wrong. Slow, screen messed up, deleted messages, crashes, doesn't recognise memory card, deletes words & letters in text mode, slow to text, need I go on? & the people in phones 4 u are ignorant as sin. Again, DO NOT BUY.

I bought this as a temporary phone while my C902 is being replaced. I have had it out of the box for less than 5 minutes & it has already frozen twice! AVOID THIS PHONE.

Worse phone used in my life! It is so slow! Buttons are not easy to use & 80% of the time when texting if I make a mistake & try to press back space it will automatically jump to the last full stop (for some unknown reason). Also when using predictive text it is always trying to double guess you & you will try to type 'I am' & it could but the 10th word down! After ridiculous things like 'monmouth', do not ask me why that comes up before a two letter word!

All in all I could rant for ages about everything that is wrong with this phone DO NOT BUY! Can't even do basic things accurately & definately not quickly!

Date: 14th Nov 2009

I HATE this phone. One of the worst mobiles I have ever seen & the biggest mistake ever buying it. Looks good but don't be fooled by its slender appearance! Texting is a nightmare, the themes & tones are shocking. I only bought it today & I can't wait to get rid of it. Poor show Sony Ericsson! I shun this phone & my reputation is ruined! GAAH!

Brilliant phone, does pretty much everything & I got mine for only thirty quid!

Rubbish camera unless your outside, & it comes with terrible earphones but I can't complain! I deeply recommend it!

Although, not as good as its predecessor, the w200i, but still amazing phone though!

Blooming amazing phone, buttons take getting used to & the volume isn't the loudest but so what. Other than that its small its nifty it plays music & makes calls what more do you need really. Camera is a bit rubbish but what do you expect when you buy a phone with only 1.5 megapixels. 9 out of 10.

Well it's pretty (white & Orange) but that's about it. It doesn't come with many themes, ring tones, games or memory (unless you buy the memory stick extra). The camera is dark & fuzzy. It's almost impossible to text (have to use the edge of my nail) because the keys are so small. I haven't been able to listen to music because mine didn't come with the USB cable to transfer songs from the computer (again have to buy it extra for £12). I tried to download extras from the Sony Ericsson site & my phone wasn't even listed as compatible.

Reviewer: Ant - Plymouth, UK
Date: 1st Nov 2009

My one main problem with this phone is the total lack of battery, 24 hours maximum without even using it. Rubbish alerts & ringtones. A descent speaker. But why can't they make it with a normal 3.5 headphone jack. Nice phone that lacks design thought.

For the price, this is a great phone. It's not got the build quality of the more expensive Sony range but what do you want for under £50!

---

Reviewer: Wicked Pixie - UK
Date: 9th Oct 2009

This is the worst phone I have ever owned, camera rubbish, themes rubbish, ringtones rubbish, volume very low, battery life nonexistent, flat after 20 hours standby. Don't BUY IT.

Reviewer: Oli - London, UK
Date: 22nd Sep 2009

Bought this phone a few days ago. It is the worst phone for texting. It takes ages for the text to display on the screen. If you, like me, text a lot then you will get very frustrated at how slow it is. The phone is also slow at scrolling through menu features or finding numbers in the phone book. I wish I had bought something else.

Reviewer: Kayleigh - Manchester, UK
Date: 22nd Sep 2009

I got mine yesterday but I can't get on it to see if it's any good it keeps freezing on a white screen & turning its self off, even when it's on charge now it just won't come on at all. Can anyone help me please?

Reviewer: Jamie - Honiton, UK
Date: 31st Aug 2009

Brilliant phone, just got it today. Loads of amazing things packed into it, like TrackID, all for £40.

I have a few issues though.

- The slider is loose, & when you're talking, it slips down.
- Start up takes up to 30 seconds sometimes.
- Camera is blurry & dark.
- Themes are terrible & the same with ringtones & message alerts.
- But most importantly, NO FREE GAMES!

Other than that, this is a real bargain! (Sorry if I made it sound terrible. It's not, honestly).

It is a really good music phone, the keypad is a bit small could of been bigger & camera's not great but this is a music phone so it doesn't really matter.

Other than that a real good phone.

I purchased W205 yesterday it is amazing phone with so many features. It has a radio recording option. All its features are OK, apart from the camera it's only 1.3MP.

I bought this phone yesterday. Really a N-Series. But only bad think is 1.3 MP camera, it could have been 2 MP.
