A quick question, when the phone is in the closed position, do you get prompts on the 'invisible' screen? I.E. Message received, ID of incoming call? Thanks.

I brought this phone two weeks ago, it is an excellent phone for users. It is very stylish.

This phone is pretty awesome guys, honestly I have a rubbish samsung at the moment & I honestly love this phone, it may not have a video recorder but what ever I don't really use it, camera is OK not botherd about that.

If the phone has all the features you want, thn get it, if it doesn't then don't get it. My advise to be honest! :).

I got this phone & hated it, it's big, clumpy, & plasticy. It feels cheap & the graphics are too. Worst phone I've had but the MP3 is the only good point. Good for a first phone but no value for money & it pretty basic, not advised!

I love this phone I got it this morning & already I love it! Would really recommend it as the camera is actually not that bad only con is no video recording, but otherwise amazing phone!

Fabulous purple colour. Easy to use. Not fusses about lack of video. Got it in a supermarket for £41 using a free £30 money off voucher via their website. Bargain at this price, PAYG.

If you want a well designed, & smart looking clamshell phone then this is it. Does what it says on the tin.

I want to buy this phone. But obviously there is sum speculation that there is no video recording. Also I already have a Walkman n if I buy this phone I wouldn't know what to do with it. It's in pretty bad condition so I can't really sell it. Any ideas anyone?

I really want this phone but am not sure as it has no video recording. I love the style & love Sony Ericsson phones. It does have Bluetooth doesn't it?

I want to buy this phone for my birthday but I have been reading the comments below & now I am not sure. I want to have a good camera, now I have a Nokia slide up & the graphics are very bad I just don't know what to do HELP!

I've just bought it, looks cool. Except for the camera & no video. Otherwise it's okay.

This phone is a great phone for music & radio & all the other standard features. It also looks good & is well designed. Only minus points that you may consider, they are not bad & you can probably put up with them as the other features are so good.

One, is to remove the memory card you have to take off the battery cover. Fine, except the cover is a bit thin & just kind of snaps on & off, you have to apply more force than other phones. You might think it will break if you do it too many times.

Two, is that the keyboard illumination is not even. In certain light conditions when the keypad lights up, the very small letters on the keys do not have good contrast between the silver background of the key & the letters & can difficult to see.

Try it in the shop before you buy. This phone is good though despite these little things.

Seriously, no video recording?

Reviewer: Clarence - Singapore

Just bought this phone, last month, recommend by the saleperson, a great phone indeed, music is loud & clear, but a pity the camera is only 1.4 megapixel. But overall the phone is great!

This is a very good phone at an awesome price!

The gesture controls only work to snooze alarms & reject calls, nothing else at the moment but it does work very well, every time.

The Walkman software is integrated very well & it has some very nice buttons on the outside which vibrate when pressed.

It is built very solidly, the battery life is good, however as this phone is slightly on the budget side, the screen is slightly small, it is still very easy to see & has good clear colours.

Another very nice feature is the OLED display on the outside, it is completely hidden when turned off, which makes it look very cool but unfortunately invisible.

I would say a very good phone indeed especially for only £70! The gesture controls are brand new & a great way to impress your friends!

It's a great phone, love the gesture controls.
Only problem is that it has no video recording.

It's amazing! I use Sony Ericsson K550i & Samsung E250i now. I think I'll sell the Samsung one & buy a Symbian mobile phone from Nokia. But, I have falling in love with this one. I've look, touch, & operating it. & after Sony Ericsson release it I'll buy it.

I have this phone & it is really good I have used it loads & the music is really clear & loud LOL the only bad thing is the camera!

---

Reviewer: Billy - UK
Date: 29th Mar 2008

I bought this phone as my previous contract phone (LG Shine) packed up 10 months into an 18 month contract. I only bought it to see out the contract but I must say that it's very impressive. Camera is not brilliant but I don't really use it anyway. External music keys are a good idea. The phone appears well built & durable. I got it in black on Orange & it looks a lot more substantial than the grey which appears a bit plastic. I would say there are better phones out there but for £70 you can't go wrong. I would recommend this phone.

Good design. Good music pl\yes, & free 512MB memory card. Only had the phone a day & loved it.

Cons, No video recording.

Reviewer: Toni - UK

It's already available from Carphone Warehouse or on O2 deals, rather cheap, making me wondering if it is worth buying.

---

Reviewer: Denise - UK

Only had the phone today & love it already.

---

Reviewer: Anon - UK
Date: 5th Mar 2008

This phone will be released in either a few weeks or May 2008. I don't think I'll get it because of Bluetooth & poor camera, getting k770i instead.

Reviewer: Rajeev - Hyderabad, India

It really rocks man. But as all said the drawback is it 1.3 megapixel camera & it will beat the it out of Nokia FanBoys.

---

Reviewer: Darryl Williams - UK
Date: 2nd Mar 2008

Does anyone know when this phone is released in the UK? It does look like a really nice phone. I currently have the w550i & this only has 1.3 mp camera, it's not too bad & still takes nice pictures.

Reviewer: George - UK

Reviewer: Selina Lau - Pahang, Malaysia

I really love this phone. I love the design & it has the basic functions, so everything is great! I really want this phone when it's available in Malaysia.

Amazing Phone, only set back would be the 1.3 MP camera.

Reviewer: Leah Liang - Taichung Hsien, Taiwan

I really like this phone. The style is very OK. But the chosen color is only in 2 & maybe much better if have 3G.

---

Reviewer: Faiqa Iqbal - Karachi, Pakistan
Date: 10th Dec 2007

The overall phone is just too good. Currently I am using z610i it's somewhat alike. I love the colour electric purple. But the drawback is 1.3MP Camera.

---

Reviewer: Acmed - Bolivia

I REALLY I WANT THIS PHONE.

---

Reviewer: Rohan - Bangalore, India
Date: 23rd Nov 2007

This phone looks great, I don't like the colours though. I have a W300i currently & look forward to upgrading to W380i as soon as it is available. Support for microSD along with micro M2 is definitely a step in the right direction.
