Have had for nearly a year & very upset. Have had two Sony Ericsson's before which have been the most reliable phones ever (still revert back to them for taking to festivals etc). This one however was a different matter. After 4 months the battery wouldn't last a whole day (let alone evening). Took it back to the shop & they said obviously it was because I was overcharging it (which I disagreed with, but how can you prove it). Bought a new battery & have been incredibly careful with charging, 6 months later the batter will last 7 hours if you are lucky. The keys sometimes stick. It's a shame. Software is great, style is great, actual hardness of phone very poor. Hasn't put me off Sony Ericsson's, but am now looking for features rather than looks, in the hope this worked so poorly because it was a fashion phone not a practical one.

I JUST GOT THIS PHONE A FEW DAYS AGO. ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME. EASY TO USE & NOT TOO COMPLICATED. ONLY ONE THING, THE CAMERA IS OK BUT NOT the 1.3 MEGAPIXEL IT SAYS. BUT OTHER THAN THAT A GREAT LITTLE PHONE.

Hi! I have this phone for almost one year, & my opinion is that the phone is very good! Actually I don't need anything else! The battery is perfect, memory is enough (even though there slot for memory stick). The pictures that the phone makes are OK (1.3 mega pixel) also, it has Bluetooth! & the most important, it is Sony Ericsson, lots of themes for this! I love this phone!
