What a feature packed phone. Definitely better than the CMD-Z5 and to me it has a more individualistic look and feel to it. A fine WAP phone that is easy to use and hard to beat when it comes to practicality. It's hard to find them on pre pay though so look around before plumping for anything else.

    Does anyone have a soft copy of the user's manual for CMD J5? It could be in any format. PDF and DOC formats are preferred. The manual for CMD Z5 is available right here in PDF format, but the J5 page does not have one.

    Would be great if someone could mail it to me.

    Thanks a ton.

            hmm.. being a user of this model (SONY J5) i find it very useful and a great companion to have because it gives you the freedom to venture far and wide and still keep you in-touch with your e-mails even though you are not sitting by your home PC.. the added bonus that i like about the model is how user friendly it is and good to operate it functions... it's a shame that the great graphics that it supports is only useful if you happen to send a SMS or E-mail to others which has a phone capable of supporting such graphics, namely Sony products.. (keeping it in the family) so to speak.. :) Sony j5 user..!

              i I've had my J5 for about 2 weeks now and i personally wouldn't be without it, i absolutely adore it, it is the llightest phone i've ever owned and definitely the best looking, it's patented jog dial is wonderful to use for scrolling although the nice big screen makes this unnecessary most times anyway.....This is just a very nice phone where you can record your own ringtones and be the envy of your friends....

                Hi,
                It's a very good telephone. The sound-quality is excellent, it is very light in weight, battery duration is a bit short. I luv that t9-sms ;) The only things I don't like so much about this telephone, is that the vibration function can't work during the ringtone. And the ringtones are a little hard to hear when it's in my pocket.

                  Voice Memo (14x20 sec) . It's false. This phone NOT voice memo. 5 recordable (by microphone) ringer (5x10 sec), and 5 event sound (5x6 sec). Stand-by time only 3 day (900 MHz)

                    I got the Sony J5e yesterday and it's brilliant. The only problem is it has spaces to download tones off the internet but no sites have melodies for the J5!!!
                    If you know of any could you please e-mail me!!!

                      Had one since 02/03/2001. Very nice phone. Only downsides are the poor sound recording quality via mic. Also, does any one know where I can get the J5 Data cable and J5 software CD from?

                        I just ditched my nokia 5110 for this phone, and it is a stunning piece of kit. I love it to pieces and it is by far the best phone i've ever used. the only thing is the recordable ring tones which sound like an AM radio on a bad day, and not many people have these J5's so the picture messaging is a wee bit useless.

                                Fisrt, I only wish the J5 was available with the jog-dial on the right hand side - afterall, there are more right-handed people than left-handed! Secondly, the lighting (backlight) is not very good should definitely be improved. Otherwise it is a sleek piece of equipment,far much better than its nearest rival in the same peer-group handsets.
