Looks great, large, clear display with standard Sony menus
Can't lock phone without opening and closing? Battery life not as good as other Sony Ericssons I've had. Too many gimmicky ringtones you'd never, EVER dream of using!

Looks good, like the push up facility, buttons easy to use
Feels heavy when texting, low battery life, camera needs more mega pixels

Chris, Swindon
all round good
you can tell that it was made cheaply as the key pad splits and the part are very loose

Alex, Manchester
Easy use, excellent design, very reasonable price for a stylish phone with memory for 8 - 10 cds...
Battery life is low especially if frequently using the walkman function (which it should be designed to accomodate)

I think that the phone is very good because it has so many features but it is all in a compact phone. Also it is very stylish.
To be honest with this phone there isn't really much that is bad. But the one thing that really does annoy me is the battery life. It runs out so quick compared to any other phone that i have had!

the good points are the music & camera .
bad points are the battery runs low so quick . the camera is good but has no flash .

I really like the fact that it is an easy phone to slide open as it has the ridge on the top that allows you to do this without accidentally turning the walkman on. I really like the colourful lights on it! I like the fact that it is small and compact and fits into my pocket easily without making me look like I have an abnormal hip. Oh, actually the BEST part about the phone is the pedometer, I take it everywhere with me, it's great! I love the easy to view screen. I love the camera, it takes good quality pictures.
None that I can really think about. I'm not a techno wizard so haven't really explored all the features of the phone, but that's my own disinterest rather than the fact it's not an easy to navigate phone.

Small and compact
After you disconnect external speakers you have to switch it off and on again to get rid of an annoying buzzing noise.

Sound quality is brilliant.Sleek design,light weight.
The megapixels of the camera could be higher.

Michael, Gateshead
THE PHONE HAS A VERY STYLISH APPEARANCE AND IS QUITE COMPACT. ALSO IT IS VERY SIMPLE TO USE ALL THE FEATURES. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE STEPOMETER WHICH IS USEFUL.
THE MAJOR ISSUE THAT I HAVE WITH THE PHONE IS THE EXTREMELY POOR BATTERY LIFE, WHICH HAS PROVED TO BE AN INCONVENIENCE TO SAY THE LEAST. ALSO IT DOESN'T HAVE A VERY BIG MEMORY, HENCE YOU WOULD BE ADVISED THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A MEMORY CARD.

- good for music - ease of use - good use of ergonomics and anthropmetrics
- screen gets dirty easily

Leanne, Liverpool
easy to use locks and unlocks by sliding the phone - easy to use and set up - has a pedometer which is cool - i would say the white and silver are girlie phones and the black is more male!
battery is slightly less than other walkman models but it has more features to compensate

I really enjoy listening to music on my phone, and was very impressed with the amount of memory that came when I ordered it! This meant I could have all my favorite music which is perfect for me. Messaging is very simple aswell.
The battery life is not as efficient as I would like, and the camera quality is not very good.

Phone looks impressive with good sound quality and extra gadgets such as the walkman and sports function.
Key pad is poor. Texting is very slow due to the nature of the buttons. Battery life is very poor and there is a constant need to re-charge every other day or so.

the battery holds the sim card in and once and a while the sim goes under the battery which dislodges the sim card,i have had to put a piece of foam at the end of the battery to stop this happening it is a bad design flaw

The keypad has broken and despite having visited the branch they will not replace the phone. The first keys broke within 2 weeks of Christmas. The customer service has been appaling and really takes away the value of any good points - sorry

Dario, London, “male, middle-aged, professional, londoner”
I love the radio and the fact that I can play games and listen to the radio at the same time. All the other phone features are fabulous.
I find the keypads to text are somewhat confusing but I guess I'll get more used to them with time.

Very stylish, easy to use loads of interseting features. Love the step counter!!
keys feel very weak and are difficult to use. Easy to press a wrong button and getting sound burstion out suddenly. Too easy for buttons to be pressed when the phone is in a pocket.

Mat, Manchester
speaker is good and loud
The screen is too small for the handset (large gap at the top) The battery life is appauling, the call quality is as good as two tin cans and a piece of string, it is clumsy and doen't react well to commands, the buttons have already all cracked down the middle, the text system is just plain wrong!

Being able to play music and yet return to the "home" screen so you can do other things with it at the same time.
The camera zoom isnt very good.

Listening to music on the go is great and having it pause while the phone rings is handy.
The slide operation seems to be getting loose and the top part now wobbles. Also the keys seem to be loosening aswell. For general everyday use this phone does not come up to scratch.

Fan of Sony Ericsson phones and think their features are very user friendly and love their walkman phones.
The battery life is appalling. I have to recharge daily, even when the phone has been on standby most of the day.

The overall package offered by this phone is awesome for such a compact and neatly presented item. It has plenty of features that if you bother to learn to use them, offer solutions to both my working and social life.
Having used a Motorola for years, which by comparison was kids stuff to use, the Sony Ericsson needed a lot of understanding before I got going, in this respect there is no fault with the phone itself as it is a quality feature packed item, but the support material could be produced with much greater clarity to enable a faster appreciation of its qualities.
