Sonny Ericsson K770i

I got this phone when I was changing my package so the only reason was because it was really cheap. The firs thing I must mention its that it looks prettier on the picture than it actually is...
First here are some specifications:

Weight 95.0 g

Screen 262.144 colour screen TFT 240x320 pix

Camera 3.2 megapixels Cyber-shot

Now to the details:
Look: I bought a Truffle Brown one and it is chocolate colour with just a notch of gold added. It has blue lighting of the keyboard and by the sides. It also gas a silver lining around the main key and around the side so as far as colour is concerned this one is nice to the eye. Camera is shielded with a slide able button which also adds a nice touch to the overall look of this phone. But the thing that is a definite turn off and speaks strongly against the phone is that it is plastic and this can be seen from a far, when you hold it in your hand you can also feel it and since plastic is a bit loose the phone can make strange sounds when being hold.

Camera: To be honest I was expecting more from the Cyber-shot feature, because it is said that it should capture the objects in movement, well it does not. You still have to be really steady when taking the picture, plus sometimes it focuses on the wrong object and makes the picture really blurry.
I liked the features that are included in the camera, different picture qualities, micro, macro picturing, different effects.
The video quality is not at its best but it is satisfactory.
Software: I think that Sony Ericsson was always good on software on their mobile phones for younger generations. They cover all the basic software, email-reader, calculators, watches, calendar, music player... But this phone (as someothers) has a great picture editing software PhotoDJ, great video editing software VideoDJ, a program that enables you to create your own track MusicDJ and TrackID software (you record a track you heard on the radio for example and the phone searches the name of the track an the artist online). All software works nicely.

Ease of use: The phone is really easy to use, you get to the main menu with just one click and from there it is easy to navigate. If you get stuck you are offered to click the help button which will shortly describe where you are and what is the thing you are looking at doing.
Battery durability: One of the most important things in the phone, I think the battery proved itself as very durable, if you use the phone just for calling and messaging on a average basis the battery will easily hold up for a week. I tested it with several hour game playing and using the camera and the battery kept up for almost the whole day which is a good result in my opinion.
