Date of Review: Aug 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: want a mp3 player this is it want long lasting phone this is it want to browse the net this works great
I have a lot of cell phones from sony, motorola, nokia the top brands for cell phones in my opinion. I have the slider w580 as well which i wrote a review on. Anyhow.
This phone is my favorite. Ive had it for a year and its been a great phone. Ive not dropped it much so theres minor dings on it. The camera works great. Takes excellent photos for a cell phone and great video. I took it with me for the 4th of july fireworks and they turned out excellent some even better then my actual sony digital camera. None the less excellent. The keys people do complain about them they are completely flat and slick. That was one thing that steered me away from it for a while. However the more you use the phone the easier it gets you know were the numbers/letters are just like typing on a computer without looking at the keys. I think it is a great phone for texting i can text with out looking its very easy after you get the hang of it were your symbols are how to make them upper or lower case.
The design of the phone i like im happ with it. Im not happ with the design of how it closes b/c it has became loose and moves side to side like screws needs to be tightened but it will have to be sent off to be fixed im not sure if thats with any flip phone they become loose but this one has a lot.
Again on this phone the antenna is the raised bar on top on the back so if your hand is covering it then you dont get as good reception. you can take your hand and cover it and watch the bars drop.
You can also transfer files over very quickly just plug it to the phone and the computer and hit transfer and all your pics will be on the computer or you can transfer your music to your phone which is great.
If you want a walkman type phone which is what this is made fo rthen this is it!
people complain about not be able to text on most sony phones but if you are mainly wanting to text then you need to purchase a phone that has a keyboard!
also the battery life is fine with mine i can use it a lot for 3 days thetn have to charge it on the 3rd day
also wanted to mention someone had noted that the screen becomes very dirty/oily. but thats from your own face the oil off your face that happens on ANY phone.
also the internet is very fast and easy to use on my phone i use it multiple times a day to check email and browse
