Well im a student at Uni, which pretty much says it all. I play games, I eat food and I have a girlfriend. As a result, the things I review are mostly centred around those three things. Also I like cats and tortoises, of which I own two of each.

I have had this phone since early 2005 and let me say, it has been great - it was an upgrade from my old Phillips Savvy and beign easy to carry and use, I loved it. At college we would go round town trying to bluetooth pictures to people or connect to the bluetooth photobooth at Afga or something similar.
The phone has a camera for taking pictures and vieos, it can record sound, play Java games, email, send picture messages, connect via Infrared and bluetooth or by USB data cable to your PC (not supplied). It can also play songs, take pictures SILENTLY, connect to the internet and probably do a few more things that I have never tried.
The phone is ageing, sadly, and as such I really want a new one. The camera's picture quality is too low compared to say even the k750i (which wasnt much more at the time), it has no standard USB or earphone port (typical Sony) and most of all, the memory is far too low (64mb!) to really store much. The 3gp video clips it takes are a lower framerate and quality than some of my friend's phones, but this isn't too big a deal since it can play back videos from other people with no problems.
I use this phone a lot now, still. For example, it is an international phone (hence the "i") and I have been able to use this in Belgium, France, Holland, Iceland, North America, Uruguay and Argentina. My best friend has a simpler, yet newer, phone than I do and so I use infrared to transfer pictures and stuff with him.
The only problems I can really say I have had are sometimes the SIM card appears to be dislodged, as it doesn't read it on startup. The power adaptor (UK one, the US and EU ones are fine for me at the mo) takes a while to plug in properly and the flap that seals the power/cable connections is too "big" and wont close properly (probably expanded by heat - design flaw I reckon). The paintwork is chipping in places, it has taken a lot of abuse from being dropped and thrown (don't ask) and there is a bit of dust under the screen. But for 3 years of use and abuse, this phone has don't really well and the battery life is still reasonable, only needing one or two charges a week or so.
If you just want a phone that does the basics and you can get one of these cheap, you won't regret it - it lasts a long time. You can use another carrier's SIM card in other countries with this, take pictures, email etc. Modern phones are often capable of having more memory put in but I think essentially they can just take better pictures. The better Sony Ericssons now have touch screens but to be honest, I don't really care. This is a great phone and I would recommend it to anyone who just wants a cheap phone regardless of how many years it has been on the market for.
