    It is a very nice phone but I think that the software needs to be enhanced and some features need to be reorganized or modified. I was surprised not to be able to use most of the features which have already become nearly a standard with other brand phones that I have used until now.

      GOOD sides:
      you can send or receive mails directly from your ISP (POP3 mail), which I was looking for...

      recording your own melodies...

      it's very light; 85 g.

      500 additional place for phonebook,3 phone + 2 address spaces for each...

      good price for such qualities...

      BAD sides:
      Screen should be blue...

      You can't hear ringtones in noisy environment. Because it has a speaker inside, not a beeper like other phones. I think Sony should increase voice amplifiying of the speaker...

      well, don't expect an excellent voice recording quality for such a price phone.
      Your recorded voice sounds like an old radio...

      You should be absolutely left handed to use the jog-button, otherwise use your two hands...


      As a result, it worths for such a price; (my other phones were Nokia 3330 and Siemens C 35i ; so I've compared Sony J-5 with 'em.)

            This is in my point of view the best phone available in it's own and higher price classes, in Scandinavia the price for J5 does not exceed 150$. The only con' is the sound of the ring, as someone pointed out.

                    hi friends...!!

                    i had purchased a sony walkman some time back ....but returned it soon after because, where as it's sound quality was great ,it's battery compartment just wouldn't lock properly.

                    now i purchased a sony cmd j5 after thorough search and anaylsis of various other mobiles, but am already thinking of returning it. no, the moblie it self is a very beautiful piece....i had wanted it the moment i t felt it in my hands, but it's ringer is practically useless. u jus won't hear it. looks like sony is good in making technical gizmos but falters at the smallest practical things that nobody would even give much thought and presme that it must be good.

                    sony's ringer is so hopeless that it jus wouldn't make sense to go in for this mobile even though it is great on other features.

                    i was planning to buy a sony music system.....but now i am not so sure......

                            People who are intrested in this fone trust me its good and is well worth the money ofcourse its not the best but its a very very good fone most of its fetures are good but of course it would record the ringtones ditorted as its got a tiny microphone what do u expect for a slimline design the only way it can be improved is it being as big as a brick so a massive microphone can be put in there which would playback better if youre not a person who Is worries more about the ringtones you hav than the phone this is a very good performer i alos think its as goo as a Nokia infact some features are actually better like the jog dail its a very good function as you can access menus and the internet much quicker than pressing a button so many times in a nokia until u reach the menu and the t9 txtin is another stunning feature for all da txters overall ithink this is a exellent fone and some ways its better than a nokia. The only reason nokias famous is cos its got a composaer,no antena,logos,and its just cos there famous well i think these are gettin boring now,nokia should now bring new features when they make new fones everytime you see a Nokia its the same old display dont u think that the features on a nokia should be improve. to be honest i think the j5 is a exellent phone and has a range of good fetures and because its a sony you cant go wrong.

                                  There's no doubt in my mind that this is the best phone there is

                                    I've had a Nokia 8210, 6210, 3310 and Sony's CMD-Z5. When I lost my Z5 I bought a J5 as a replacement. It is in many ways better than the Z5. I use to think the Z5 wast the best but I think the J5 beats them all.

                                        It is light, compact & reasonable performance. Phonebook capacity is very good.
