The phone was about 1/2 the cost of the ATT Walkman and lives up to its advertising. She loves the phone - and best of all - she has not come to me with any problems. Can't ask for more. We purchased this unlocked phone because my daughter's phone was dropped and no longer working right three months before the end of the 2 yr contract period. This phone is very similar to the Walkman she had before but with the added bells and whistles of color changing and screen animations with day/night changes and seasons changing.
I am very disappointed. There is a very faint glow (maybe 5 % visibility) so I can't read texts nor the numbers in my address book, or caller id. Then last night, the screen went almost completely dark and nothing I have tried restores it.
I did not require much in terms of a phone, beyond making and receiving calls and texts. Now, all that is gone and I can not read the screen.Unfortunately, about two weeks ago, I noticed a little blemish on the screen (it looked like a scorch mark). Well, the love affair is over.
This deepened into a dark patch, obscuring any display on the upper right hand corner of the screen. For the money, I expected these features to last. It did that.
The main outstanding feature of this phone is the constantly changing, beautiful and seasonally appropriate graphics.
For a list of features and an in depth review I'd check one of the c-net or other tech review sites, but as far as price-quality ratio it's a winner. This phone is sleek, has tons of functionality and is sturdy (landed on it in my pocket while wrecking my dirtbike. works wonderfully).
I love this model. Wow, I like it. I had a sony before, so it is easy to operate.
The large bright screen is easy to read also and the back lighting on the keys is a super asset. Had another Sony a while back and I find the menu system superior and easy to use. They can hear me too.
Music works only on the media card, not clear in the doc, and is gorgeous. I was hoping for a good usable phone and a decent mp3 player and got more than I had hoped for. My set came with a USB cable and stereo headphones which handle calls too, as well as a charging cable.
I've had the phone a few days now and am enjoying hearing people. The buttons are smaller than I'm used to, but give a satisfying click when properly pressed. Really nice equipment.
I guess I really needed to replace that other phone, but my network insisted it was "working". The documentation is out of date, but Sony answers the support phone quickly and misunderstandings were quickly resolved.
