Good day to all! After 2 days of having the Hazel, here now is my review:

Built: of good quality materials, nice feel, good sliding mechanism and great ergonomics.

Display: very rich, and excellent sunlight legibility

Keypad: very responsive and comfortable to text with

Calls: Absolute call clarity! you cant get anything better than SE call clarity!

Software: always fine as I am a loyal SE user. never hangs and very responsive too.

Camera: great 5mp shooter. though flash is not impressive when used. produces pinkish color near the center of the object. you have to divert the center of your focusing to avoid this. The videos uploaded to my PC is very nice. like being done by a regular VGA video cam.

Sound: Just average. for some it might me a little bit low but mine is okay. good music using the speakerphone and the supplied earphone is just ok too.

Wifi: absolutely great wifi range! it can pick up very far wifi signals!

Browsing: good browsing with it's netfront web browser but can't sometimes load heavy web pages. so what I did was to download OPERA Mini browser and it is now a better browsing experience. And here now is the catch, you can now watch VIDEOS FROM YOUTUBE

            Hi guys.... I'm usin hazel from past 10 days now... Its a very good phone I must say...d display is remarkable..d audio quality is gr8... Though d loudspeaker volume is less, d headphones give a different experience...i've switched from nokia so I feel der r less options as I could 've used in a symbian.. But d sybian software hangs a lot so i'm tryin ericsson for a change.. D photos r of very good quality without d flash.. D flash light emits bright white light in d centre but yellowish around it.. So d snaps look different.. I'm writin dis report from d phone itself... Usin internet is so comfortable on dis device... Though d built in browser I couldnt minimise n reuse it.. I had to open it again.. So i'm usin opera mini... D mobile has a built in gps receiver but needs gprs also for navigation purposes..i personally think der r a few software flaws which can b rectified from a software update which is not yet release I suppose... Overall d phone is gr8 for everyday use...

                        The battery backup of this phone is a nightmare. Got one yesterday the phone lasted for a mere 9hrs of which about 30min was the talk time. I've used sony ericsson in the past and never faced this problem, dunno what next!!!!!!!!

                                Finally got my Hazel here in Manila...

                                All I can say is wow! very nice phone! I'm still excited using it for the first time so I'm going to write my own review in a while.

                                For those of you people here in Manila who wants to have this unit, you can get it at www.cmkcellphones.com

                                Cheers!
