    I've been using this phone for 4 months.
    And to give it a summary, this phone is averagely good and I should be given a rating of 8/10.
    Pros:
    1) Sound definitely good
    2) Stylish
    3) Never experienced any lag
    4) User friendly
    5) Scratch-proof ( I've dropped a couple of times but not even a visible scratch or crack - lol probably made from a tortoise )
    6) Price is considerably cheap with its features.
    Cons:
    1) Camera is too simple ( yea I know it's a W series )
    2) You cant take pictures with your secondary camera
    3) The Style-up Cover is not purchasable in the market.

      This phone is alright but battery life is very average as others have mentioned. The other big issue is the menu system and navigating the phone, it is VERY VERY laggy, slow and takes too long to catch up to what I have pressed.

      Have even updated the software on the phone, this made no difference at all. Overall a little disappointed with this model.

      Is anyone else having slow/laggy problems?

                I have a lot of problems with this phone, I already sended the phone back to the factory twice, but I still have the same problem... after a time i can't get any messages anymore (even if my inbox is empty), sending messages is also a problem! I'm very disapointed

                                I have tried to update the software but it is said that my phone has the latest software (and I dont reinstall the software), but still my few weeks new phone only last about 2 days or so. Should I reinstall or I should wait the next new sofware?

                                Some say that the radio is the culprit: when turned on it stays on, and the phone should be master resetted to turn the radio off (dont know: reset setting or reset all).

                                But I do love my w508, although its text input in SMS is quite poor. I hope Sony Ericsson do something about this...

                                  Has it got the wee display that shows you the next letter/number for a key as you type in Ab mode? eg 3def. Like on the W350. It's for old people who aren't sure how many 'clicks' to do before you get to,say the '&' or the 'z'.

                                      bigquyet, 06 May 2010Satisfied with all but the battery performance. It drains u... moreIf you do a software update your battery life will last for about a week instead of 1 day. I've had the same problem and now it's solved.
                                      You'll find the software update on the site of Sony-ericcson.
