I had this phone for 1 year and phones don't usually stay with me that long. One of the best phones i've had if not the best.
+ve:
-very fast response
-Solid durable feel, and the right weight
-clear screen with decent resolution
-very reliable buttons that are ideal for text messaging
-Quality look and feel would definately buy again
-ve:
-the internet shortcut button is misplaced, i always press it accidently
-screen resolution is low for a high end clamshell phone
-2MP camera somehow looses its clarity through time
Overall:
Performance/response : 9/10
Design : 8/10
Features : 7/10
for about $130 this phone is a bargain, even if it is a 3 year old phone.

I have this phone for the past 1.5 years.
this phone is really good looking and was working fine till now. many told me that flip phones are not reliable but that is true to some extent because now im facing problem with this mobile.The speaker is not working now.planning to change my mobile now.
pro's:
good looks
monochrome display with display and keys
sound quality is good
external speakers can be attached to it
cons:
lacks flash(so night mode sucks)
flip creates problem as time goes
Overall experience: nice mobile

like jassie it was the best phone i had but i lost mine overseas. This phone is quite durable like a nokia phone. The camera is good considering..but it has no flash.
This is a really really good phone but its counterpart the w710i is sh**

G, 07 Oct 2008Hi, I have two questions for all Z710 users out there :) ... moreI figured out how to get back the animation :) you need to change a file called default_upgrade.xml and upload it using xs++ . Working again :D

Hi, I have two questions for all Z710 users out there :)
I recently got my firmware flashed to the latest version, and two things seem to have changed on the blue external screen, I was wondering if anyone knows how to get these back or if it's the same on your own Z710i.
The radio screen has changed- the RDS text has become small and the same size as the normal font. On the old firmware version the RDS text on the radio was much bigger and fit neatly on the blue display, I much preferred that.
Also, there was this cool animation that played on the blue display whenever I was in a call, which was these white squares that faded diagonally. I really liked this but on the new firmware version the screen just stays all blue. Is there any way to get this back as I loved this quirky feature.
I'd just like to say the Z710i is the best phone I've ever used and I wouldn't swap mine for anything else. Thank you everyone :)

Great radio. Nice phone. Sony plug in power and headset connection is not as nice as iPod. Menus not as nice as Nokia.

Anonymous, 16 Aug 2008hi y'all . i have this phone. best phone i ever had.no prob... moreyes you CAN use mp3 ringtones.
Just flash the firmware to the original Sony Ericsson one.
It's just the OPERATOR FIRMWARE that stops you from doing that.

I have been using My Z710i since December 2006. I bought it for Rs. 12500.00 and on the 14th month it became troublesome. It wont capture GSM signals of 900 Hz. Sony Ericsson says it can be rectified only by changing the circuit board which costs about 75% of the total cost. So it is now being used as a camara, music player, FM Radio, Alarm clock, etc... It was really good I loved it very much; Still I do but...

I bought this phone on December 2006. After 14 months I had network problem. My phone do not pick up any network signals. Sony Ericsson service people said it can be rectified only by replacing the Circuit board completely and it costs about the 75% of the cost. I bought it for Rs 11500.00
