I think this is one of the best looking Sony Ericssons to date. Very light weight (70g), stylish, especially if you have one in "ice blue" or "white", some networks have a limited choice of colours so look around (I paid extra to own it in white and then paid 10 pounds more to get it unlocked). It may not be the phone for a tech wiz, who would probably prefer w810i but is a great little accessory for people who like stylish, great music and easy to use products.
Overview: *Great speakerphone, very, very loud
* Sound Quality is fantastic. The phone offers Mega Bass feature which truly brings your music to life * Built in memory is pretty low but you can get an m2 4G card for 10 pounds from Amazon, just make sure that it is not over 4 gb, as its the capacity for this model.
* 1.3 mp camera with no flash or video recording. (I do not think of it as a disadvantage as it is not the point of this phone. Anyway how many people actually use their phone cameras for good quality shooting?) * The screen is very clear; at night or in direct sunlight
* The phone doesnt have the voice command which is useful when you are driving and the cover is very delicate so dont punish it.
However, apart from these little downsides it is a very good buy, even if you only intend to use it as a substitute for your ipod nano
