Pros, small, light weight, low price relative to features.

Cons, VERY POOR battery life! I regret for buying it just for that!

Also, navigation stick is a little bit too small which make it hard to use.

I just recently bought this phone & I find it great!

It has a great, cute design, with changeable covers & it is really easy to use! When you miss a call, receive a call or get sent a message, little icons on the exterior screen appear that are really useful & look great.

Those people that are having problems with battery, it is probably because you didn't charge it for 10 hours as soon as you got it.

The only disadvantage to this phone is that it doesn't come with Bluetooth, but I just bought a USB cable so I can easily connect to the computer & upload files, themes pictures (you can download these from various website).

I really love this phone & I haven't found any problems with it!

Don't buy this unless you're into throwing money away. This phone is junk. It will freeze up, & you will lose all your data. I should have read reviews before buying. It had a good price in Qatar at the airport, & was an impulse buy. Now I have to buy a different phone. DON'T BUY THIS PHONE! Sony quality has really gone down. Too bad. I will never buy another Sony product as long as I live.

I have always stuck with Sony Ericsson because of the ease of use (never need to read the manual) & logical & efficient navigation layout. I have been very happy with my old Ericsson's. Unfortunately from the end to the start of text.

The reviews that say this phone is a brick are talking 'ubbish, it's small & feels good in the hand. The matt colours are nice & subtle, & the minimal design is good for those with a little taste. Doesn't have all the features of the top level new phones, but then again you're not paying the money. Is admittedly slow to load up, but how often do you do that really? Wouldn't worry about it.

I love the phone! It's great for people who want something very handy without all those frills. In other words it's not complicated. Its great if you utilise it more for text messaging & calling & when you need to take pictures you can do it with just a snap. The elegance of the phone in its simplicity.

This phone is a failed product. It crashed a lot of time, when calling, playing game or even copying contact from other phone. It is slow at start up & also the batteries just held on for 24 hrs.

I bought it 1.5 months ago, but only used it for 2 or 3 weeks. The rest of it? Either in store for repair or still broken.

I like the design though.

Reviewer: Kame El-darwish - Turku, Finland
Date: 4th Dec 2007

The Z320i we purchased on 21.11.2007 displayed failings as soon as it was out of the box:

1. Extremely slow activation to PIN code entry point
2. 'Frozen'/crashed start up!
3. Repeat of 1.-2. Above despite trying different SIM cards provided by two other mobile phone users.
4. Complicated settings for WAP/Internet connection, & 5. Settings that are supposed to be available from Sony Ericsson's Internet support site are not!
6. Fails to connect to WAP/Internet, despite numerous attempts at complicated & user intensive manual entry of settings provided by GSM network provider.
7. Fast drain of fully charged battery!
8. Repeated 'Frozen'/crashed start up after recharging battery.

When we took the first unit of Sony Ericsson Z320i back they replaced it with another unit that displays very similar failings as the first. So, it was hardly surprising to us that, when we asked a representative for help with obtaining the settings for connecting to the WAP/Internet, we were informed that a recall for service to address at least a software problem was issued very nearly the same day we purchased the first unit! Shocking considering the generally accepted principle that the end users (customers) of products for such a globally competitive market are not supposed to be used as beta testers without their express knowledge & permission!

What a load of rubbish. Phone will only last 36 hours on standby. I have sent it back three times & still not any good. Design & features good but totally impractical to use when you have to keep charging it every day.

FANTSTIC PHONE, I HAD the Z310I & PASSED IT OFF TO MY WIFE. IT'S STILL A GREAT PHONE BUT the ADDED FEATURES ON the Z320I JUST MAKE IT THAT LITTLE SPECIAL. THANKS Sony Ericsson, A JOB WELL DONE.
