I first got my new sony ericsson u5 just over a year ago. When I go it I was very happy with the phone I had picked with a 8MP camera and HD it seemed that the phone had a lot of potential. That however is where it ended for the u5.

Just after I got the u5 (not long after its release) Android was launched, the u5 runs on sybian OS. This very quickly became a problem as apps which were released for the iphone, android and Blackberry were not been released on symbian. This meant that I was unable to download many things that you think a smartphone who be able to do. Most of the apps I could find were ports meaning that most of the screen did not work or the app just would not run.

Dispite this I kept the phone if only for the camera.

However, lately my phone has decided to not hold charge, the micro USB post has come out, the screen for some unknown reason decides that it now wants to do its own thing (i wish to sent a text and it wants to play games)

So what started as a good phone went quickly down partly due to how quick things change but also that even though the phone was new there was very little support or apps...Android next i think
