Well no one else but Sony make M2 cards at the moment. I heard though, at Three shops 1GB of memory costs $99.

      i got this phone about 2wks ago now, after deciding to "downgrade" from my k750i...and it's awesome! in my opinion, the simplicity of the external screen is genius.

      my only question - are all brands of memory cards compatible with it or only sony ones?
      (also, i live in perth, so if anyone knows where there are good prices, please let me know too)

      thanks

            @Pavan B
            Yeah, but very little. It moves a tiny bit (less than 1mm) left and right when closed but it's pretty sturdy. Nothing that you wouldn't expect, and I know some worse examples of other phones.

              - i'm using SE T630, when i receive calls, the phone has a somewhat "default" ring tone before my prefered ringtone rings, does this phone the same too?
              No, there's no default ring before the ascending ringtone. Nothing like that.

              - how long is the charging time from empty to full?
              No, nothing that long. I think it is max 2.5 hours, maybe two hours, haven't timed it myself but it seems to be pretty fast.

              - does this phone play mp3 with a quality as good as W800 or other model walkman phone?
              Quality is just as good as a Walkman phone. It even has the same media player as the W800, but it's not orange and it doesn't have megabass.

              - does the outer display show misscalls, messages etc?
              Yeah, it's really imformative for its size. It can show the clock, battery life, signal strength, missed calls, messages, Bluetooth, Java application, whether the radio is turned on or not, whether a handsfree is plugged in, whether a different profile is on and when the media player is on, it shows song name.
              It shows up to two icons apart from the signal and battery at once.

                  hey this phone is nice, but i have some question to ask the phone user, would you all be kind enough to enlighten me

                  - i'm using SE T630, when i receive calls, the phone has a somewhat "default" ring tone before my prefered ringtone rings, it has a 1sec "ring" sound before my ringtone, and my ring tone is ascending although i had switch it off, does this phone the same too?

                  - how long is the charging time from empty to full? i had read from somewhere else saying its 4hr, hey thats long!

                  - does this phone play mp3 with a quality as good as W800 or other model walkman phone? since this is a Z-series, just curious

                  - does the outer display show misscalls, messages etc?

                  thanks in advance for any kind soul out there ^_^

                    As much as the highest capacity memory card around is. At the moment it is 1GB, but when the 2GB is released, it'll also be compatable.

                        Killer looks; the black and metal finish are simply awesome. Impressive performance being a z-series phone.

                          @all
                          The cover becomes warm because of the metal used to make the back cover. When you hold it for a while, the heat from your hand gets transferred to the metal more easily than plastic.

                          Get the Z550. It has a better screen, camera, thinner and smaller, more internal memory, better music player, better radio with RDS, lighter, and better interface. In fact the Z550 is better at everything compared to the 6125, even looks.

                            1- only backlight is on when the phone is open without any text on outer display
                            2. mine became warm for first charging, but it's ok now.

                              i bought the phone on 12.10.06. Few ?s
                              1. Is the outer display meant to be off when the cover is open?
                              2. The back of the phone is a bit warm after some time. Is this normal?
