Advantages: Got to be the MP3 player! Great features.

Disadvantages: Screen scratches

Ok, I'll admit it, I am a Sony Ericsson girl, when its time for my upgrade, that is the brand I look straight to and they really haven't let me down with this phone.

This phone is more an MP3 player with a phone attached, it comes with some of the best earphones on the market which use the "marshmallow" shaped buds which cancel out background noise so all you hear is the music which is superb for a phone, there isn't any tinny sounds or anything like that when its playing. The interface on the front of the phone is also brilliant for ease of use, just touch the screen and it does it (but there is a lock so don't worry about catching it)

As a phone, it performs as well as you can expect a phone to so there isn't much point in saying much about that.

There are some fantastic features on the there, the camera takes some brilliant photos and there is also a great slideshow option to music (gimmicky but I liked it). The games are good, one (need for speed) even uses a motion sensor to steer the car, you tilt the phone in the direction you want the car to go!

The rest of the things on there really are just gimmicks and if you're like me and love going on a phone and finding daft things you might not use that often but are still pretty cool then you should have a look at this phone. Overall though this is an incredibly easy phone to use, I think I could give this to my Grandad and he could make a call. The buttons are well spaced, on my old SE phone they were quite close together so there was a lot of deleting that went on but not with this one.

The only thing I would say against is that due to the finish on the front of the phone, it does show up the scratches, but keeping it in a phone patch would help that.

Summary: Love Sony Ericssons and music? Get this!
