As a big fan of sony ericssons this was the obvious upgrade for me when i got the chance around a year ago now. At first the phone was great, it had a fantastic camera which i cannot fault and great applications. Not only this but it looked stylish, was slimline and the camera was touch screen which was an added bonus. After about 6 months i started to notice the phone was freezing a lot which at first i put down to it having full memory but even after clearing it i still found this happening. This then developed to it freezing during phone calls in which they could hear me but i could not hear them!! This then began to happen every call and a numerous amount of times during longer calls.. very annoying!! Not as annoying however a when it progressed to freezing and then switching itself off which wasnt great when taking important calls! To top this off the phone will now not switch on at all.

However, i have recently discovered that these faults only seem to occur in the early batch that were made around 12 months ago and the ones since then are fine!! So if your looking to buy a new one now then i would definitely recommend it., just make sure its not an old faulty batch!!
