Sleek, slider phone that is simple to use and has loads of features. I have it in Style white but is also available in urban grey, Boulevard black and Metro pink. I paid £149.99 when it first came out but I think it has gone down in price quite a lot now.
*IN THE BOX* Handset Charger 512 MB Memory Card Headphones Sim card Manual Various information leaflets
*Messaging* With this phone you are able to send long sms with predictive text input and mms. You can also setup the email feature so that you are able to read your emails on the handset. There is also a sound recorder.
*Camera* I found the camera
very easy to use. It is a 2 mega pixel with 4 times zoom. The night mode is great. You are able to take a picture and send it straight to a live blog. It also enables you to record videos. I have found the camera to be one of the phones best features with a lot of options when taking a picture. The outcome of the pictures are fantastic.
*Games & Applications* The handset already has a few java games installed. I got Block Challenge, Tetris demo and the Sims 2 full game. You are able to download more and install them onto the handset. The handset also has some java applications such as Pocket Trainer and Music mate.
*Music* The handset has a built in fm radio which so far has had a fantastic signal. Some radio stations are pre selected but you can scan and add your own if you like. There is also a fantastic walkman music player on which you can store up to 1000 songs with the 512mb memory card. You are able to listen to your music over a Bluetooth connection to a headset. The phone also has Megabass which enhances your music experience. You can use your stored tracks as ringtones. Also if you hold down the walkman button on the phone and shake the handset it will change the music track. Another fantastic addition Is TRACKID, if you record a few seconds of a song your handset will find the track name, artist and album for you. I think that this is a fantastic idea and have used it often.
*Connectivity* There are quite a few different ways to connect to another handset, headset or PC. There is probably the most popular way of Bluetooth which has a 10 metre range, USB connection between your handset and a computer and also GSM internet dial up support. With the handset you should receive the Sony ericssonpc suite software which allows you to share files with your pc and also sync them.
*Organiser* There are loads of features on the handset to help make life a little easier such as:
Alarms - Set up to 5 at once and have them go off once or set them to go off at the same time every day.
Applications - Add your own or use the ones pre-installed as mentioned above.
Calendar - Set appointments, birthdays etc.
Notes - Helps you remember things !!!
Synchronisation - Sync to an internet server.
Timer - Exactly that, perfect for cooking I have found.
Stopwatch - for all those racers out there.
Calculator - On most phones now.
Code memo - here you enter a 4 digit pass code and then a check word for confirming a correctly entered pass code.
Also something I really like is the fitness feature on this phone. If you are an avid walker or runner this is a great set of tools. Turn the running option on and it will tell you how far you have run, how long it has taken and your average speed. Does the same for walking as well. There is also a step counter which resets itself everyday.
I have owned quite a lot of phones but have found this one the best, I really rate Sony ericsson as they have come a long way. This handset is like a phone and an MP3 player rolled into one. Fantastic price too. I have found nothing as yet to complain about, the phone is sop simple to use, the sounds are clear and well defined, there are so many options and features that I spent a day playing around with it non stop. Battery life is great, I only charge it up once a week and have it switched on all the time. The reception during phone calls has been good, so far it hasnt cut out on me. So all in all, its great value for money, ideal for young and old and definitely one I would recommend.
