Advantages: Battery life / Text functionality

Disadvantages: Looks a little bland / no camera flash

I upgraded my mobile a few months ago now to the W595 with a little caution, will this phone satisfy my needs? It is of course of Walkman origin and is based around a music player more so than a camera phone. The functions are of standard Sony Ericsson issue, straight forward and simple. Accessing the text message screen is simple, one touch of the navigation middle button and your there. Accessing the Walkman music player is also straight forward, hit the walkman button on the side and your there!
The phone is nice and compact and looks good too, it fits neatly in your pocket or handbag for nights out and is not really specific towards one gender or the other. Battery life is fantastic, I hammer text messaging and make a fair few calls too and it only requires charging maybe twice a week at most.
The camera quality is reasonable for a 3.2mp however no flash! As I did state before the phone is of the 'W' range therefore it is not to be purchased as an out and out camera phone.
The Bluetooth functionality on the handset is tip top, I have a Parrot handsfree system in my car and it connected straight away no problems. I have set the sychronisation to automatic so as soon as i get in my car with Bluetooth on it connects.
Surfing the internet on the W595 is pretty good too, with the screen being ok size wise, no real problems here.
The only downside to this phone is that it does look a little "Pay as You Go" like, for all those people wanting a bling bling phone you may find this one a little boring.

Summary: A wicked Walkman phone only....not for the David Bellamy's out there!
