I love this phone, expect after around three years the hinge starts to go bad (buy a new phone - but their cheap). Also, if the phone acts wierd and won't hang up on calls, do a software upgrade (from sony ericsson). World-wide phone with 2Mb camera and the ability to record your own mp3 files and use them as your ringones is great. Battery life is good in 2G and bad in 3G, and the USB/battery/music interface is terrible.

From the moment I purchased this phone I have had nothing but trouble.

All of the constant sporadic hang-ups, lack of service (in areas where it should work fine), cut-in-half voice mails were really starting to get to me and to top it off, this afternoon I was unable to send or receive text messages due to the apparent "Phone Memory Full" which appears cannot be rectified since every single message is "corrupt" and cannot be deleted. Also my phone is showing me that I have 1495 drafts saved in my phone.... ridiculous.

I bought this phone because I trusted the Sony name... boy was I wrong.

Terrible, waste of money doesn't say enough. No wonder T-Mobile gave this phone free when I upgraded my account. Or possibly T-Mobile is the root problem. Leaving them as SOON as my contract is up even though I need a new phone NOW!

Don't waste your money on this phone! I have never written a review on anything before, but this phone is so frustrating I had to. After talking to someone for about one minute the other person can no longer hear me (i can still hear them). Then after about 30 seconds I lose connection totally. The texting sucks! It is slow and just as frustrating. This phone does nothing for me but raise my blood pressure!

It's not a bad phone, especially for the money. I'm using it on Mobilicity, and it hasn't had any issue with freezing, or shutting down, or rebooting, etc. The only problem is Mobilicity poor signal in some parts of the city. Also, the display is actually a bit over 2.2 inches, not 2.0 inches.

I'm pretty positive this phone is the worst phone I've ever had. It sucks, all it does is freeze, heat up, and turn off and on. It would have been a good phone if it hadn't done that.

This is a good 3G phone, at least acceptable low-cost use, though I suspect I got Revision 2 of this item since I have no problem whatsoever, and it is not T-Mobile version but unlocked, only gripe is Triband.

The worst phone I have ever owned. I am on my second one!!! Both phones freeze up. Impossible to check messages as it has long delay from when you push numbers to retrieve calls to when the phone registers the number pushed. Phone doesnt record half the call numbers of missed calls that come in and doesnt record half of the call numbers I make!!! Now my phone is turning on and off and the screen will not turn on. I am done with Ericsson and will NEVER buy another!!!!! Buyer Beware!!!!!

I have owned this phone for 3 months, and have experienced the occasional phone turning off.

Currently, it is the volume that is out. When I place or receive calls, I can not hear nothing. I have tried everything but nothing.

I am really disappointed with Sony.
