Sony CMD-J5 Reviews

I used to have a J5 (I now have a Samsung T100, read my review for that as well!) which was a replacement for a broken Siemens. I wouldn’t have chosen the phone if I had had a choice, but it was the best one out of the selection available. First of all I will say a little bit about the size. This is by no means a small phone, but ...  Read the complete review

Sony CMD j5 I’ve had this phone since January this year. I got it as my Christmas present from my dad; it’s on the vodafone pay as you go smart step tariff. My first thoughts were that is it’s so light and thin, and I started playing with it immediately. Within a few minutes I managed to unlock it with a little slide ...  Read the complete review

My last phone was a Motorola clam-shell style one designed for texting and the web. It had a keyboard, and the WAP feature was great, but you couldn't use it for a phones normal purpose, talking, without a hands-free free kit. The hands free connector on my phone was dodgy, and to get it fixed would cost more than buying a new ...  Read the complete review

The Sony J5 was the second mobile phone I had, I was attracted to it by its 'gadgetness' the sounds you could create, the games you could play and the jog dial, all appealed to me.

I used to have a Sony J5, But lost it. I thought the world of this phone when I first got it. All my friends played around with it down the pub I was the center of attention for a while. Example: Conversation has died in a pub. My phone rings, no it doesn't it says "answer the f*c£"! phone." and to a chorus of laughter ...  Read the complete review

I bought this to replace a lost (and uninsured) Z5. I was in a bit of a rush to get a replacement phone so I didn't really look at the phone very much as I thought it would be similar to the Z5. I have had it for nine months now. The phone comes with a handsfree and is thin and light but the aerial adds to the length considerably. I ...  Read the complete review

After only using Nokia phones for the last three years, I was unsure whether or not I should switch to another manufacturer. The Nokia's that i've had have always been feature packed and reliable, so why bother changing? I decided to buy a new phone, after all, I would still have my 3310 if things didn't work out with the new phone. I ...  Read the complete review

Looks- Although i think it is a big ...  Read the complete review

I have owned a sony CMD-J5e for almost a year now. I bought the J5 to replace a Nokia 8210 - which to be honest was because I just wanted a change. At first I absolutely loved the phone. The ringtones were so much more interesting than anything the major players had done and the features were brilliant. Or so I thought. The Sony is a georgeous ...  Read the complete review

I love my J5 mobile, and it is without doubt the best phone I have ever owned or used. It's light, fairly compact, very stylish and so so easy to use; anyone could work this phone. I bought my phone from our local carphone warehouse where the staff were polite and very helpful. I paid £139.99 for my phone which I first thought was pricey but ...  Read the complete review

Nokia Smokia! Put on your disco pant's and join the rebellion against the evil forces of Nokia, plotting to take over your mind with brainwashing, through mediums such as snake and that stupid symbol matching game. One day they will push a button, all handsets will emit a burst of light, and we will all become slaves to Finland. ...  Read the complete review

UPDATED 16/9: The thing that made me buy the J5 was the sleek look of the phone, and the fact that you can record 5 of your own ringtones - no not the "beep beep" ones which you compose on most phones, but a recording of anything. This is however, a little disappointing, as the sound level is very quiet and muffled. If the phone goes off ...  Read the complete review

Some say I’m a bit sad owing four phones in under a year, but I think I just like to be original. My phone before I purchased the Sony cmd-j, was a Nokia 3210 a great phone with lots of good features, but nearly everyone of my friends also had one, so while on the prowl for a new mobile I came across two phones I liked the one I’m ...  Read the complete review

The Sony J5 is a gem of a mobile, although it does have its drawbacks. I'll get the drawbacks out of the way first, 1.Vibrator isnt strong enough to be noticed while out in a pub or club. 2.So light it is easy to forget you are holding it in your hand and drop it. 3.Games dont quite reach the peaks of Snakes ...  Read the complete review

<<updates and downgrades, Sept. 3>> When I first bought the phone this is what I wrote: "let me say that I really like this phone. It's slim, unbelievably light and fairly compact. My biggest complaint: the feeble vibrating alert." Now that I've had it for a couple of months, I'm downgrading my ...  Read the complete review
