Sadly, it doesn't have a flash, but the camera is still pretty good in well-lit situations. The video is still pretty lousy though. As far as whether or not its worth it is your call, but I'm really digging mine in spite of some technical shortcomings.

How to use picture phone book for SMS. Like the W800i you can see the image of the person sending the text message. Can anyone tell me if there is a specific way to do this?

Great phone!
Stylish, elegant and Upmarketish looks set by

Elegance is so~~ out of fashion! come on people! keep up wid da Funk and Punk Fashion!
This phone certainly delivers Funk!
Aren't you tired of those fancy/glossy
phones that turns ugly when scratched?
This phone digs~! fits in your hand nicely.
Sure! there are smaller phones~ but, smaller

the battery life on mine isnt too great, it only lasts for a day with moderate use. the k800 that i had before lasted me at least 2 days without charging. also, its impossible to keep the face free of fingerprints bc everytime you touch it, youll leave another. but its easily wiped off so no biggie. otherwise, the phone is awesome for 270 USD. def one of the sleekiest looking phone out on the market

you can get it on ebay for 269 now i think. ive had mine for a week now and i love the everchanging the theme, it had different effects depending on the time of the day (butterflies come out in the afternoon ;) but its kindda girly in my opinion. the phone is almost exactly like the k800 minus the 3.2 camera and autofocus or any flash. but its 2.0 MP camera actually isnt that bad. overall get this phone if you want something so tiny it can get lost in your pocket, or something flashy to flaunt off to friends, or if youre just easily amused like me haha. i think because its so thin, it makes the phone seem a little on the flimsy side, it doesnt have that thick metal feel to it like some of the nicer phones, but its definitely not a cheap plastic feel either. the slide is excellent, very strong. the only thing is, its very fragile, i've crack my keys already (like they is a crack down the middle of each numbered key). and i dont know how, but maybe because i put it in my butt pocket and sat on it. but i have done this with all my other phones and none of them have ever had a problem. so i suggest you take extra good care of it because i read on here that someone else's keys also cracked within the first couple of days. otherwise, i love it!

yea sorry you would have to buy a memory card for it. It's only about 40 dollars and comes with an adapter, so if you end up selling it you can use the memory card for something else. just make sure its a sony and it says M2 on it. The camera is kinda dull but still good. It's way better then motorola k1 but just by a little bit.

Just got this a few days back, and agree with most about size, ha it looks bigger online then in person. This isnt a complaint though, it fits perfect in my pocket almost to the point that i dont even know its there. As for the phones features, true its not as up to date as some of the other featured sony phones, but i think this is really due to the size. Its the same size as my s710 from sony, but 1/4 the thickness. The camera works well without the auto focus, and the night mode is actually pretty decent. This phone is packed with all the cool sony goodies like the video editor, picture and sound dj's, and was just added to sonys theme editor. I say give it time before the theme editor will have full support to change things like the everchanging theme allows, seasons, day and night and menu systems. I heard acouple people asking about the menu changing icons and such, and yes the menu icons are all changable based on the theme. Everchanging uses a completely different set of icons with special effects. The night and day changes the format to a straight line of icons that increase size when hovered, kind of like a media center design. Ive owned sony ericsson phones for about 6 years now, and this one did not let me down at all. It will be awesome when we can edit what the phone changes during the night an day and seasons!!! The over the air phone updates is also great!
