I've been a happy user of Sony Ericsson phones for a number of years until this last month, though admittedly it's not entirely Sony Ericsson's fault that I am presently suffering from mobile phone disgruntlement.

The death of my beloved K850i due to irretrievable firmware failure after 17 months' ownership was traumatic, as was the failure (in the same week! ) of my old K800i which my son had been using. That bit is Sony Ericsson's fault.

Being on contract with 3, & due for an upgrade pretty soon anyway, I went into the store to select a replacement. Problem was I wanted to change the contract too, & I couldn't have both a decent replacement phone & a more competitively priced contract at the same time. Logic dictated that the competitive contract price would be more practical to me in these presently difficult financial times. Besides, although I chose a replacement phone from the lower price bracket, it was a Sony Ericsson so it couldn't be that bad anyway, could it? My choice in that respect is not Sony Ericsson's fault.

Upshot however is that I really don't like the phone, not even a little bit. It feels cheap & fragile when handling it, & the buttons click quite loudly with every press in a most irritating manner. It's a physical click rather than a button tone too, so there's absolutely stuff all that can be done about it. Drives me mad when composing a text message.

Other than the noisy button thing, the G502 functions fine as a phone & text messaging machine, which is really all anyone could want from an entry level phone on a daily basis. However, I miss having a decent camera to hand (not that the K850i was brilliant in that respect, despite being 5 megapixel) & I miss the solid, robust feel of the handsets that I've had previously.

I am now considering shelling out for a higher end handset, though it's going to cost a bit because it'll have to be contract & network free, which renders my earlier logic of choosing a cheaper monthly contract an entirely risible decision.

Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing.

I purchased this phone to replace my dead K530i, what a mistake.cheap, plastic, re sets, turns off, crashes. Etc.

I'd steer well clear. 10 days being repaired & still the same.

Cheap, nasty, plastic, like a child's toy. I sent mine straight back to Three. The sales guy told me that I would not be disappointed with this phone, how wrong was he! It's simply awful. Shockingly bad for Sony, they normally produce top quality phones, so this was a huge disappointment. Very lightweight, very easy to damage too I'd imagine. I can't stress enough how cheap this phone looks & feels, even the functions of the phone seem cheap & nasty! AVOID!

The device keeps freezing when you don't want it to. It has nice solid keys though. HSDPA use really drains the battery. Great price for a 3G HSDPA phone. Solid build. Does well for its price range.

Just one sentence will describe it, Sony Ericsson G502 is an amazing phone with a VALUABLE PRICE indeed!

I've had this phone for 5 months ago, & I really satisfied by the phone. The MULTIMEDIA features are AMAZING, the speaker is boom, & there is any radio too. The camera can capture photos & videos with a nice quality, if the light is good. Futher more, you can use a memory stick (M2) up to 4 GB (I used 2 GB of M2 memory). The display is very sharp & colourful. The 3.5G is a FAST Internet CONNNECTION. It is really an excellence experience of having a gadget.

But, the G502 often hang when you save a lot of messages (that is stored on the phone, memory, I stored thousands of SMS without delete it), & the phone will take a long time when you open the message menu on the phone, if you still store a lot of message. & the connector of the headset (on the bottom of the phone) is damage relatively fast (the damage happened after 1 month since I purchase it). It makes me not enjoy the headset with pleasure.

I have only one complaint. It doesn't come with a USB cable. This is my first Sony Ericsson mobile phone. Do all Sony Ericsson exclude the USB cable in its package?

G502 is my first Sony Ericsson phone with great specifications includes:
- HSDPA, even though I only use the GPRS :).
- 2 Inch TFT.
- Great Media player.
- Cheap price.
- Superb browser.

On the contrary, it has flaws like.
- Very thin equipment, no USB cable, then I have to rely on Bluetooth that sometimes have process errors.
- No office & PDF viewer, I think I see too much 6120c :).
- Quite slow process, only if you fill many java apps & data, sometimes crashes too : (.
- About the camera, no flash, best use it at noon.
But I really don't mind about it.

Overall, it pleases very much when you want to have average phone with great basic abilities including browsing.

I think I'll do it often which will best suit me :). Thanks Sony Ericsson! Waited for new Firmware update.

This is among the cheap 3.5G & HSDPA phones on the market, the LG KU250 is cheaper & Motorola V3xx is about the same price & but it is the newest. I am satisfied with the features & it's worth the money, I bought two some days ago one for me & one for my son.

The display is crystal clear, the brightness & the image quality are just fine. I used it mostly for Internet browsing & emailing. Although the data cable was not included inside the box, it was absolutely no problem when I'm surfing the web, because I used its Bluetooth connection as a modem.

The sound quality is good when you used headset (was included on purchasing). The FM radio could only be heard when I plug the headset in & the feature named synchronization is still a hassle, because one should make use of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync or SyncMl which I feel it is a long & confusing procedure.
