Slightly dated but still going strong
Review of Sony Ericsson CMD-Z7 by
edka
Advantages: Jog dial, big screen, email, wallpaper & ringer software (optional)
Disadvantages: A bit thick, no longer supported by Sony, weak vibrate,
...focus on how pleasing the Sony Z7 is to the eye and how compact it is (the term 'credit card sized' is often quoted by shops). But I don't think this really applies anymore. Admittedly I still like the look of this phone, but with the release of a new generation of more high-tech and more compact phones (many of which have colour screens) the Sony Z7 is no longer at the cutting edge of mobile phone technology. While it’s still small enough to fit ...

The sony z7 . . . . where do i begin?
Well all my mobile life i have been used to Erricson or Nokia phones but more of the later.
I was due an upgrade on my current mobile contract so after a lengthy conversation with the telephone sales rep i plucked for the z7.
When i first pulled the phone out the box i thought it was very well designed and looked great, although maybe a little thicker than phones i have been used to . . . but i was happy ...

Great Expectations
Review of Sony Ericsson CMD-Z7 by
Bonetony
Advantages: Good Looks, Games
Disadvantages: No GPRS
Last year Sony took the mobile phone market by storm with two of the years best handsets the award winning CMD-Z5 and the CMD-J5.
This was reflected in the awards for best phone of the year from Mobile Choice with the Sony Z5 running away with the award. With Sony J5 also snatched the prize in the most innovative Phone category.
So I was of course very excited at the prospect of getting my hands on the new CMD-Z7.
The first difference I ...

Sony CMD-Z7 - My opinion on this phone
Review of Sony Ericsson CMD-Z7 by
psykobob
Advantages: Small, got all the features you need, well built
Disadvantages: Phone occasionally locks up (see opinion)
...public. I chose the Sony when I decided to upgrade from my old Nokia 3210 for the following reasons:
I've had this phone now (SONY Z7) for about 8 months now, and I've had no major problems with it (apart from it locking up - which was fixed by cleaning the sim card). I was fed up with having problems with my old Nokia. I was told by a friend to go for a Sony as they were quite reliable.
When looking to upgrade I wanted a long stand-by time ...

Flippin' Great
Review of Sony Ericsson CMD-Z7 by
Itssteps
Advantages: Looks cool, good battery life, not Nokia
Disadvantages: Slightly flimsy flip
...to get another make *gasp*.
The Sony Z7 caught my eye because it matches my CD player, but there's more going for it than just that.
It's good fun to use - the navigation system takes a little getting used to, but once you get used to it, it's great and quick to access everything you need.
The phone book allows you to have 3 entries with a little logo for each entry. You can group people together into Family, Boyfriend or Drinking for example ...

Showroom appeal but not so good everyday
Review of Sony Ericsson CMD-Z7 by
srhjohnston
Advantages: Size, looks cool, jog dial
Disadvantages: Reliability problems, feeble vibrate
...when I saw the new Sony Ericsson Z7 I thought it looked fantastic and had to have one. Showroom appeal for the phone is high - it looks great, fits easily in the pocket, has no ugly aerial, is a sophisticated silver colour and most importantly its not a Nokia! Initial impressions are quite encouraging too. The jog-dial on the side is quite easy to use once you practise a little, the screen is large and the ring tones are different. However, it can ...

My virgin review - A proud owner
Review of Sony Ericsson CMD-Z7 by
honeylamb
Advantages: Scroll dial, easy access silent mode
Disadvantages: A quiet vibrate.
...the phone for you - Sony Z7.
It took me ages to find a phone I liked last year when my trusty Panasonic GD57 was slowly dying. I have a real dislike for Nokia's probably because everybody including next door's dog has one. I came across this little baby and thought it was by far the best looking phone on the market and I probably still do. Some people say it's a bit fat but less than 2cm doesn't classify as fat or chunky to me! It's a perfect size ...

Functional but unspectacular
Review of Sony Ericsson CMD-Z7 by
Immy_G_1303
Advantages: Simple and easy to use
Disadvantages: Lack of extras most mobile users are used to nowadays
Ok im going to keep this simple (like the Z7 in fact!) if you want an all singing, all dancing mobile that can take high quality videos and photos and then send them via bluetooth then look elsewhere. If however you want a cheap mobile simply to make and receive calls and send and receive texts the Z7 is a nifty little phone.
It has a big screen, scrolling wheel and flippy-uppy bit. its small and looks pretty stylish - all silver and streamlined!
I've ...

sleek, cool, and quick
Review of Sony Ericsson CMD-Z7 by
rempire
Advantages: sleek, cute, ease of use, unique, useful features
Disadvantages: does not support long messages
Why sony z7? It,s sleek. Can fit into anyone's pocket. What's being cute for? But not compromised when a giant hand is dialing another giant's number with a little help from it's tiny flip cover that also serves as a protection. So who needs a fascia cover? The navigation tool? Cool and quick, jog dial perfected the 5-way navigating. Not only as a unique feature of Sony but the most interesting I see with any sony phone. Why? Only Sony has it! Harmonic ...
