Advantages: Good phone, Very Functional, Lots of Applications

Disadvantages: A bit chunky, Pretty fragile if dropped not in a case, Crap Customer Support

I bought this phone about 2 years ago now, and as far as I am concerned, it does what it says it does, its a pretty good phone, and the other features are also pretty cool. I did have to get it replaced with Orange Customer Care because the speaker and microphone stopped working, but that was done quickly and easily.

My other concern was that I happened to drop the phone (you do now and then when you have something for 3 years that you use every day!) and the small retaining semicircle of plastic which holds the flip in place broke off, meaning that the flip wasn't aligned properly and I was pressing the wrong key. Pretty annoying and I could probably have bought a replacement flip, but I just use it flip free now, which is quite a nice option to have.

I have found that the support from sony ericcson wasn't that wonderful, I have had some very rude and impatient staff trying to solve problems before, but then it might have been a bad day!

Recently I've been getting quite a few kernel error messages and program crashes, not sure if its like windows and needs a reinstall of the OS every now and then!

I would definitely recommend this phone, although it is a little on the chunky side, the things it can do is very very useful. There are also shedloads of programs which run on it available from the internet.
