Brent, you are not alone, i do exactly the same to mine, iv dropped it, thrown it, i once fully submerged it in a glass of water and pulled it out and continued texting. Just the other day i threw it at least 7 metres into the air and misjudged the distance, it landed flat on a concrete path, the face plate came off a bit, i snapped it back on and kept txting. A little trooper is my Phillip (yes he has a name). I love him to bits but i got him second hand and the battery is really crap. it barely lasts a day when im not txting. perhaps will upgrade.. but i cant bare to part with dear phillip.. perhaos il buy a display case and keep him for old times sake. Oh there he is vibrating now with a txt for me.. Cherio then..

            To be honest, I've been troubled with it. In the shadow of K700, I prefer to get more function from a mobile phone. However, it provides me with a perfect tone, which has been amazing for me until now.

                This phone is a survivor, Ive treated it how every phone should not be treated!(*puts his head down in shame*) Ive dropped it about 200 times and thrown it more times than i can remember.My friends are amazed at the fact that it is still working! lol. The appearance is shocking but it works the same as it did the day i bought it. I have since then upgraded to a K800i and have a huge respect for sonyericsson!

                        Hi, I got this mobile for over a week now and I think it's brill. It could be an 'old' phone to purchase but I only care about the picture and the sound quality.
                        I transferred mp3s to my phone and it cannot be set as a ringtone, is there an alternative? Also when I send videos from the phone to laptop, which progam do I use to open it?
                        Anyone knows where I could get free MIDI ringtones?

                              Pretty gud fone when i got it, has unlimited video and gud memory 4 its time and looked good but now is old and has problems-

                              - joystick is USELESS. half the time when txting and u want to scroll back to change sumthing it thinks you,ve pressed it down 2 say ok and it sends the message. Other half of the time it doesnt work at all. Also joystick has links to voda. live and calendar, etc, so when u push the stick down it goes to these and not the menu.

                              Email service is no good and for some reason my voda. live doesnt work properly. Camera cover is annoyin.

                              Basically, unless it is new and the stick is in excellent condition (mine was secondhand, but near new)AVOID.

                                      hi people i've this phone it's good and work well exept the joystick it hangs sometimes & also when i charge my phone i have to connect the charger and pull it out several time until the phone can see it..the problem is not in the charger but i think it's from the phone itself..& i'll describe this phone in few words:
                                      small memory
                                      no bluetooth
                                      low quality VGA camera

                                      i won't recommend this phone for anyone

                                        i have had this phone a while now, its pretty good...loved it when i first got it, getting bored of it now! (it's a pretty old model now so wouldn't mind a newer one) but otherwise, yeh mine's still working! the middle button does stick sometimes though, which is annoying. also, compared to newer phones, it's quite bulky now, and the camera could be better...i like the shutter cover thing though..! :) x
