Advantages: Very user-friendly; built-in radio with good reception

Disadvantages: Doesn't work half the time!

Oh dear Sony Ericsson, what has happened to you! I had a lot of faith in their mobile phone products until I bought this model. It's caused me no end of hassle! The phone freezes up mid-conversation, the speaker has now broken which means I don't know when my phone is ringing, the phone shuts itself off during mid-conversation even though the battery is fully charged, and there is often a loud, crackling noise on the line. I am with O2 but I know of 2 close friends and 2 work colleagues who have had similar problems with their models. I've heard that there is a rush to get the models onto the market without having fine-tuned the technology. Well, sorry but as soon as my contract comes up for renewal I'm going back to Nokia which I have always found reliable to use. On the plus side, the phone is very user-friendly and has a built-in radio with good reception which I find very useful on my daily commute to and from work.

Summary: Don't recommend this model at all.
