A good choice- but perhaps its newer cousins would be more advisable (Sony Ericsson K310i)

Advantages: Looks great, excellent battery life and no fiddly small buttons

Disadvantages: Poor quality camera

I've been using this as my main handset for about eighteen months now. Whilst not the newest and flashiest looking of the Sony Ericsson collection, this is still a very good looking handset that has turned the head of more than one phone obsessed friend!

The main pros are that the phone is good value for money, the buttons are easy to use and the menus easy to navigate. Added to this, the battery life is very good, and the phone recharges in super quick time - usually around ninety minutes of charging is enough to give a weeks's worth of standby time. Additionally, the phone is lightweight and the colour screen is good and clear.

One of the phone's main disappointments is the below-par camera - great for taking pictures that never leave the handset, but beyond that the image quality is too poor to be of any real use. I also found that my phone's speaker stopped working after about a year - effectively rendering the handset near to useless (I have to take calls in quiet rooms only and can only have it ring on vibrate!). However it is testament to how much I like the buttons and ease of use of the phone that despite this problem I have still not got round to replacing it.

Summary: Good value for money option that offers that little bit more than the real "basics" phones
