This phone has most of the features I need from communicating by means of phone calls to SMS & emails as well as a quite reasonable possibility to store lots of music, pictures etc. On the interchangeable memory cards up to 8GB each. The sound quality is quite OK too if you use stereo headphones.

The Internet access is unexpectedly fast & the included Google maps application is really a helpful tool, especially with the possibility to move the cursor with the arrow buttons. The menus etc are easy to work with especially if you are used to the Sony Ericsson phones.

The slim partly metallic design has class compared to many recent more expensive phones (which tends to look too plastic in my opinion). The buttons are comfortable & not too small even for a grown man.

Overall the phone gives an impression of quality.

There are some less positive aspects though. The phone could have been equipped with a camera of more than 2 mega pixels to facilitate more professional photos. In addition the phone does not seem to be compatible with the iSync program of the Mac which if not fixed makes it impossible to sync calendars, contacts etc with the Mac.
