In my job, I am fortunate to be able to use many mobile phones, but this Sony Ericsson is one of those phones that you can admire for being something a lot more significant than just a phone.

The camera on this little beauty is outstanding. It's a glorious 8 mega pixel with flash, smile detection facility and ability to take a photo with a live frame. But that's just the start. One little press of the menu button changes it from a camera to a video - no fiddling about, just one push of a button. Easy.

It's a simple slide phone, with video phone capabilities too - little bit awkward though if the person you are ringing doesn't have a video phone as it will not ring them when you select it. However sound quality of the phone is amazing and battery life is second to none. I've gone nearly 10 days without charging it and I can still hold a good hour conversation with it after that.

I'm very reluctant to actually give this phone up when it comes to upgrading, so I may just keep it in my handbag with a separate sim just to be able to use the camera as it's that good.
