Advantages: Light, its a phone, does what it is supposed to, but with added features.

Disadvantages: Slide lock does not always work, few problems but easily resolved.

I have had this phone for a number of weeks and it is very good, apart from a few flaws.

I read reviews on the internet to make sure I was getting the right phone. I found out that a number of customers had problems of the phone reporting no SIM inserted and wrong battery type inserted, even if both were in. I have encountered this problem with the 'No SIM inserted' when I kept swapping between my Vodafone and Orange SIM cards. To resolve, a simple case of wiping finger on the SIM and putting it back in.

The slide functionality for locking the phone is rather poor. Compared to my old Nokia slide phone, which would always lock when sliding the phone down, this Sony Ericsson is not as good.

The phone is VERY light and has a lot of functionality, those I cannot fault. Sending and recieving messages and phone calls has never been so simple either. The MP3 player is as good as it gets.

The contract I got with Vodafone was brilliant, especially with the amount I pay and having the phone free.

The phone comes with charger, earphones and data cable. You also get, as per usual, manuals to help you set up and use your phone.

Summary: Contract phone has very good value for money.
