nice and cool December 7, 2007

It's the first time that I tried a slider from Sony Ericsson. Cool design, bright color, small size and light weight. Looks good and feels well - like it a lot!
The only thing is that even though I chose "open to answer", calls are picked up or go out unintentionally when the outside button is touched by stuff in the pocket/handbag. It is annoying still. Other than that, great phone!

comment: Dec 31, 07
The phone started giving me error..."insert smartchip" and keeps switching itself off frequently. I tried calling ATT and they tell me that since 30 days have passed, I can get a refurbished phone as a replacement. What a bunch of crap.......daylight robbery...do not buy ATT products or service.
I travel a lot through NH remote areas, I am now losing signal more often than when I had my old nokia 6230. I think I may go back to it.
The microphone of this phone is too sensitive, in my car when I am speaking, people can hear the road noise/wind noise which they did not when I had my nokia.
The interface is very cumbersome. You have to press a lot of buttons to get small tasks done.

I purchased this because it has the most features for the price range. I do not use phone for internet, music purchase..etc at least not yet, so I do not need a 3g phone or a PDA phone. If you remove those two aspects, this phone has everything else and free if you are new to AT$$$T .
Quad band, 2MP camera, media player, expandable memory, FM RADIO WITH RDS and bluetooth A2DP.
I recieved this yesterday havent used it much but here are the highlights
Pro's
--Brilliant screen
--love the walkman feature and pedometer. When you switch pedometer, it actually shows a tiny icon with the # of steps in one corner of main screen all the time
--can use as a removable drive with supplied USB cable
--comes with a proprietary headphone, but has an adapter for 3.5mm
--good voice quality and speakerphone.
--has fm with RDS. Only other phone to have it is a nokia 6555, but that one only has 1.3m camera
--sound quality is good for a phone
cons
--not really white color, it is silverish-white...so no OHH and AHH's
--phone can get accidentally unlocked and dial #'s and use mediaNET. U have to create a dummy internet provider to avoid data usage charges..thanks to the other reviewer, this is the first thing I did without even testing if it happens.
--phone switches off suddenly and randomly when you open and close the slider
--Battery door of WHITE phone is difficult to open because it does not have a non-slip backing.
-- ONLY WHITE MODEL HAS 256Mb ms micro card included, you will pay $[...] extra for a 2GB MS compared to a 2GB SD card, factor that into costs.
-- no flash for camera.
If 3g is important, Nokia 6555 is a good option but compromise with camera..as if that makes much difference.
So far, so good! November 21, 2007

Ok, I bought the white phone. I have to say...it's more of an eggshell, a little grey even, but not white. Oh well, I can live with that.
Key Points
- great reception - no problems so far
- excellent picture quality
- poor video quality
- key pad a little too small - hand will cramp. I am now using my left hand and problem solved.
- lightweight
- no flashlight on this one, but very bright screen
- sd card is a mini - however comes with an adapter
- it has a fitness section under organizer. It counts your steps!
- Poor/Average? battery life - you will have to charge it every day... perhaps that's normal.
 Great phone...when it works November 12, 2007

I loved this phone--for the first month. The sound quality was great, the design was creative and fun, and the features were useful.
And then, one day, it wouldn't power up at all. I tried every troubleshooting option listed on the Sony Ericsson website, including charging up the phone, removing the battery, and cleaning the battery connections. No luck.
I then spent two hours on the phone with AT&T. I was told that because I bought the phone through Amazon, I had to return it through them. However, Amazon's return policy was only valid for a month. So I went back to AT&T, and four phone calls later, they agreed to accept a return the phone. (The number to call is 800-801-1101 if you find yourself in the same situation.) There are a couple of catches, of course. First, I have to pay $12 for 2-day shipping or wait a week to receive the phone with free shipping. Secondly, they can't guarantee me a new phone. The replacement will likely be "reconditioned." I extended my contract for two years for a USED phone? I'm not pleased at all.
In the meantime, I bought a $20 GoPhone and put my old SIMS card in it. Sadly, a $20 phone is working better than a $400 phone.
When the Sony Ericsson works great, it's fantastic. But AT&T's return/warranty policy is disappointing. I paid $0.01 for this phone. I obviously got what I paid for.
