I recently purchased this phone and I was happy with it, until I reached its first flaw. Whenever I would close the phone it would completely shut down and would not be able to recieve phone calls, text messages, etc. I contactedv Cingular and they reported to me that it was a *special* feature. I told them that it wasn't too special and then called the next day and got a different operator. They told me the same thing and I called the next day and I got another different operator. They told me it was a complete malfunction and that they would send me the Sony Ericsson W600a in complete apology for the mislead employees and for the phone malfunction. Besides the malfunction, I think this phone would be good if it didn't have that malfunction.
Pros: PTT function, easy user-interface, slim design, T9 capability
Cons: Malfunction, reception

well, this phone work well for me.. i admit it has very small memory space, but those who bought it shud have notice it b4 they bought it.. y complain? n the picture quality is not tat good, come on, as if it has any megapixel.. I still think this is a great phone for its' price.. at least, it doesn't hang like other SE phone. check out z610, it's damn cool.

I agree with the other poster, you guys are picky. This phone works flawlessly and someone put a positive comment on the Z520 then put a negative for this model. What are you, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

Why do i see a lot of negative with this Z525 model compared to the Z520? Z520 has a lot of positive comment. Isn't this the same phone as the Z520?

you guys are so freakin picky. this is an amazing phone, looks good, customizes very good, and you can open the phone with one hand, maybe u should go work out a bit. the pictures are great.

let`s i have this phone, but it`s a z525a. don`t know the major difference but i don`t like this phone. it glitches and freezes. it worser then a motorola. after awhile when look at my menu the backcolor of the icons are black. the side buttons is absolutely annoying. i only like that the speakers are uberr loud so when i make my own ringtones it`s loud. it has no games, and the camera quality sucks. sometimes the phone fags out and i can`t call people and i have to hold the button to turn it off for awhile for it to turn off and push it even longer to turn it back on. ahh!!

ATTENTION, be careful if you want to bye this Phone.
I’ve had it, and had to go back to the store for like five times.
When having a conversation the connection fails after a few minutes.
There are a lot of bad phones of this model, so if you want to gamble, its up to you.
I changed it for another phone.
Cant believe that sony ericsson allows these phones for sail. But it’s always about the money right.
Have to admit it looks great, works fine, long conversation time.
But if you don’t mind to phone everybody back if thy call you, its your choice

This phone sucks had for about 2 weeks and hate it. Buttons on the side of phone are really sensitive and when i first got it it said the camera wouldnt work because i needed to upgrade the software. I took it back and they happily exchanged it then the phone kept shutting down etc. This is one of the poorest se phone i have ever seen. The nokia n70 is way better and is what i am going to be using from now on..

I agree, this phone reception sucks...I simply wanted a phone that I could have a conversation on and would stay charged for 12 hours-it stays charged alonfg time(not as long as my last erickson which by the way I got for free and lasted 4 years)...the reverb on this phone sucks-the other person fades in and out and echos...its irritating. too expensive of a phone-didnt care about features just wanted one that worked well.

The reception continually fades in and out on calls, even when we're standing still - In addition, the PTT button on the side is highly annoying, the screen fades after about 10 seconds, and it does take 2 hands to open the phone to answer it - We've had these phones for about a week and we are NOT happy with them.

I have this phone . The charger pins broke off the first time I charged it. the new charger is $30.00 plus taxes. If I new the charger had this issue I would never have bought it. No matter how gentle you are it breaks of the pins that conect to the phone.

I am just wondering who designed this phone? This is the first SonyEricsson that, actually, has great reception, good set of features, and VERY POOR ergonomical design!!!
Camera button activates camera in your pocket, you cannot open the phone with one hand. For some reason Nokia looks the same but I had no problem to open it with one hand. As for the features and lack of external memory, let's remember that this is a phone, not media player. If you play your MP3's that will drain your battery and most likely you will not be able to accept next incoming call...

what is the point of having an mp3 player on the phone if it only has 16mb shared memory? thats like 5 or 6 songs max, and then theres no room for pictures, videos, sms, ect...
