I AM NOW LOOKING FOR A SONY ERICSSON STORE THAT CAN HELP ME TO REPAIR IT. UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT RECEIVE THE PHONE UNTIL AFTER THE RETURN TIME. I AM PRESENTLY NOT IN THE US AND HAD TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE COULD HAVE BROUGHT IT FOR ME. I PURCHASED THIS PHONE AND IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING. I STILL NEED HELP ON THIS EVERY YEAR I PURCHASE FROM AMAZON AND THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE EVER RECEIVED SUCH SERVICE. I SENT AN EMAIL WITH MY SITUATION AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN A REPLY. I PAID FOR THIS PHONE AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH IT.
The picture quality from the camera is excellent. Besides that, I haven't had a problem in 2 years. I got this phone 2 yrs ago becase of the MP3 and radio.(You'll need to purchase more memory). Call quality is excellent; although, I wish the speaker was a bit louder. Normally, I'm an electronics junkie, and can't wait to get a new phone after my contract has expired, but I'm going to keep this one until it's on it's last legs. I love, love, love it. I plug it in to my car stereo every day, the sound quality is awesome and the radio is also nice.
It has a fm radio (downside is you have to attach an antenna to hear it, which is annoying), great as an mp3 player (once you add a memory stick to it, I added an 8GB one, which you can store thousands of songs on it), It has a flashlight, which I find very handy at times. The operating system of the phone seems to lag at times.For the price of this phone now, around $200 (if you check on ebay), it's very well worth it. This is one amazing phone. I use every feature on this phone and it's amazing how versatile it is. The BAD side of this phone.the size of the screen is too small to browse the web comfortably, if you want fast internet you will not get it with this, cannot stream video from the web, the camera is not good in low lighting because the flash is weak. With that, you can do push email, instant messanging (using the web, so it does not count as text messages), browse the web using the downloadable Opera Mini Browser (it's free to download). I've used this many times to get directions to places.
With the exception to the scratches, it still works great. I also have dropped this phone over 50 times easily on many various surfaces and heights.
I pay $4.99 a month for internet from T-Mobile. Before having a Sony Ericsson phone, I've had 6 phones from different manufacturers and I find the Sony to be so easy to figure out.
I've had it for close to 3 years now and I'm very happy with it's durability and the features. The way the menu's and the settings are organized on the phone it's very easy to get used to.
I paid a lot more for it at the time it came out, but no regrets. Since it's an unlocked phone, if you get the cheap internet with your phone service provider, you can do even more.
You can download programs for free from the Sony Website such as Google Maps.
I bought this phone over a year ago, and absolutly no complains about it, my only regret on it was never activating a security option of block the phone is the sim is changed, why., because they stole it a few months ago and now someone else is having fun with it.
So, in effect, you'll have to use the SE-provided software. However, this may become a problem if you want to upload music directly, and not by the SE-provided software. Then, unless you encoded your MP3 files with a compatible encoder and at a 192 or less bitrate, the phone is unable to play continuously. I agree with almost all previous positive comments, so there's no reason to rewrite those. Still, this does not take away from other nice features of the phone. Since you are unlikely to use this phone for any heavy-duty data transfer it is ignorable. There is a tiny drawback that a potential buyer should be aware of: The data transfer is at USB1 speed and thus too slow. Besides, you could copy your data directly from your MS card it could be avoided.
