I love it!!!! Great phone!!!
I have had it for 3 weeks and no problems yet. no dropped calls, no lost messages, no freezing, games run amazing and the reception is very clear. The Only issue is no blutooth and infrared but i have no need for those since i prefer usb. the camera is a bit blurry too, but i guess one cant expect perfection from a camera built into a cell phone. Overall, great choice for those who want a very feature rich phone without spending all the big bucks.

***** BEWARE OF THIS PHONE *******
****************************************
This phone stinks, probably in every way imaginable. 1. The outside of the phone is pealing apart, the paint is chiping off everywhere and I haven't ever dropped it or misused it in anyway. 2. The text messaging function doesn't always work, especially when your text is longer than one text and it trys to make it into two messages. The test messages turn out blank on the receiver end. 3. The camera! Almost enough said but, it must be the worst camera in flip phone history! Pictures look horrible and the zoom function picture quality is even worse. The pictures look "blocky" no smoothness to the picture. I understand that this is Sony Ericsson's first camera flip phone, but if your going to put something out into the market, well then put out something good out there, especially your frist one. 4. The internet function doesn't always connect, doesn't matter if you have full "frequency" bars or not. 5. It's a good thing I only took the one year agreement with this phone otherwise I would be really upset!

It´s a good phone, It accepts all incoming calls (don´t believe all opinions) good aspect, good sound level.
Cons: bad picture quality on dark places, not let you choose custom ring for sms and msm, don´t have a warning when you have lost calls or sms unreads.

This isn't a very good phone. I bought two of them about a year ago for a shared plan with my daughter. Her phone is worse than mine for dropping calls, but they are both pretty bad. Also, there's a big delay when you answer the phone. All in all, it's not a "terrible" phone because it gets good reception when it actually GETS it - but then it drops calls way too much. It is one of the poorer phones I have had. Not the worst, but definitely not the best.

I hate this phone. It drops calls for random reasons, even if the signal is perfect. The battery life is horrible. I've tried resetting the battery numerous times, and it just doesn't get any better. I end up having to charge it every day.

This phone sucks, I hate it. It always shuts is self off, takes forever to hear other people when when making calls. My Wife, our friends and I all have the same phone got the around the same time have the same problems and same opinion of it, so do random people I stop and talk to about it.

its a really good phone other than the size of it, it is pretty large but if you want unlimited video and be able to take pictures than this is a good phone for the money.

I think the phone is just OK. I just wish I was able to fix the contrast on the screen because the black isnt really black. I guess i wish the colors were more vibrant like the motorola phones. The battery life is very good. OH! The camera SUCKS when you are trying to take pictures in a not so bright room but i guess its a DECENT phone.

I have this phone on trial for 30 days... reading all prior comments... I'm concerned about the battery life. This may be the one thing that makes me opt out.
Any up-to-date comments on battery?
Thanks

"The volume of the speaker is wack. When you try to play ringtones on your phone - it doens't play loud; however, when someone calls you, its VREY VERY loud"
Play your ringtone in the media player, and then close the phone. It should continue to play MUCH louder.

Its not that bad. I thought it would be a tad bit smaller. I've hadn't had a problem with the keys sticking or whatever. The volume of the speaker is wack. When you try to play ringtones on your phone - it doens't play loud; however, when someone calls you, its VREY VERY loud. I don't like the orange buttons - but the phone on the outside looks sexy. There are millions of options....i love it for the price. Paid 112 for it. I haven't seen anyone with it yet.....I say 8 out of 10
