I loved this phone for everything it had (esp. the ability to have different ringtones for different people, ringtones that you could record, no less) and out of nowhere, last saturday, got hit with the famed "white screen of death". it's out of warranty since july, and it would cost $135 to repair it.
lost photos, numbers, audio, messages...sadness.

Damn screen just failed. One minute everything was fine, the next minute I've got the "white screen of death." This phone was great up until about 20 minuites ago. Sounds like it is a well documented fault. Damn it!
Best things:
- The most intuitive menu I've seen.
- Easy Bluetooth sync with Outlook Calendar and Contacts.

Utter pants (as are all SE's), poor design (inside) ribbon cable and display failure is common.

Google sony ericsson white screen and that should be enough to convince you not to ever buy any sony ericsson product.

same issue with the blank white screen!! sad, because it was a good phone, nice to use. about six months ago it threw a tantrum, blank white screen when fully open or a regular screen but it moved it and out of the frame really fast...very weird/annoying. was told by an independent repair person (NOT assc with S.erric) thats its a design fault with the LCD cable that runs up from the bottom shell. also, at times has cut me off mid phone call or seems to 'lose' the battery and turn itself off. the 1st time it went mental (3 weeks out of warranty) i put it in to get fixed, took nearly 2 weeks to get back (and the front closed screen has never worked since) 6 months later its doing the same thing again, after having it for about 1.5 years I have given up on it,

Hello everybody, I agree with 'yap'. Same to me, I own the phone for 1.5 yrs now, with good handling and care, but the phone just became dead recently. Just as Yap has mentioned, mine turns out blank - a white screen. There was no sign of problem before and it just died on me when I was setting up my alarm clock. Guess this phone must have a short life span and not durable.
Also, agreed with 'phonecritic', that you can't delete the useless tones and things in the phone coz they are protected files. This holds up memory space and it's worse that it doesn't have expandable memory (like a mini-SD card slot).

I've only had this phone for 3 days now,its hard for me to get used to it after owning nokias for so long.I dont like not having the 1-touch speed dial that I'm used to and the battery life really sux.(where do they get that the phone has up to 400 h. standby time and 9 h. talktime..mine is brandnew and goes dead in a day and a half,and thats without talking on it or using anything else for that matter).
I,ve owned much better phones.This one is not highly recommended...its more of a cosmetic chick phone.
