the jog dial located on the left side of the phone helps right-handed people actually. you can use your phone with your left hand and write with your right hand (while taking notes).

owed it for 3 days now, upgraded from a sagem mc920, so i'm in love with the t9 texting. no more triple pushing to get to letters.
Very Very dissapointed with the sound quality of the recordable tones, in this day and age of CDs this phone sounds like a old dictation machine, I actually cut up the hands free lead in order to conect the mic input directly to my comp output, only slightly better. If you try to record sounds in loud they play back very distorted, tempted to rip the speaker out of my sagem and attach to j5. its weird I want to use to sounds ive recorded but know i will miss calls because of the low volume. I put a lot of bass on the recordings so you can feel it almost vibrate, got the idea from the internal sounds which sound just like a gameboy, I think they even used the Zelda theme.
Group system is brill my 1st time, about 30 diff groups.
WAP IS CRAP slow useless, might as well go home to the pc, not sonys fault
jog wheel means 2 hands use
dont get me wrong this is a execellent PHONE but the main attraction leaves you dissapointed
wot the diff j5 j5e??

I've had this phone for 2 weeks now. It is good but I think companies like Nokia and Ericsson, who actually specialize in these products, know more about how a mobile phone should be and really make them user friendly. However, Sony have got a mobile that is innovative and of good quality like all of their electronic goods but just lack that little touch that makes it a great phone. The ringers are not quite loud enough (I live in HK) and the fact that the virbra-alert cannot action with the ringer is a downer - not that it'd make much difference anyway as it is a very weak vibration.
The games are not too great either, it's got
1) Banana's - you are a monkey and have to knock down an opponent monkey climbing on another tree by taking turns in throwing banana's at each other. There is a flag to indicate the strength of the wind and you control the angle and strength of the throw. Similar to a game called Tanx I used to play on my Amiga.
2) PicPuz - Your basic tiled mixed picture puzzle.
3) MindBlaster - Guess sequences of numbers. On submission of each guess you are told how many number you guess right and how many are in the right sequence.
4) Sand Art - Not really a game but a rather strange (theraputic) novelty in which sand just falls down like in an egg timer - you get to change the colour of the sand and poisition where the sand falls, hence creating some kinda art I suppose, but I found it rather boring.
I also have problems connecting to the internet ie. cannot connect, maybe I should contact my ISP about it.
Things I really like are the Scheduler, World time, Animated menus, startup/shotdowns and it's really light too. I like the modest (bland?) but definitely Sony design and it has good reception too. Overall a good phone.
More details about this phone are on the Sony site :
"http://www.sony-europe.com/mcp/moj.x?tid=79"
where you can also download the manual.

I got the new phone today on orange network and found that it was a bring tilliant phone. I am usually a NOKIA fan, but after having so many shutter problems with the 7710e deciede to try the new Sony mobile. Reception is sharp and so are the look. The only downside is that the jog dial might have better either central or on the right-hand side (as most people are right-handed)

What a feature packed phone. Definitely better than the CMD-Z5 and to me it has a more individualistic look and feel to it. A fine WAP phone that is easy to use and hard to beat when it comes to practicality. It's hard to find them on pre pay though so look around before plumping for anything else.

Does anyone have a soft copy of the user's manual for CMD J5? It could be in any format. PDF and DOC formats are preferred. The manual for CMD Z5 is available right here in PDF format, but the J5 page does not have one.
Would be great if someone could mail it to me.
Thanks a ton.
Sanjay

hmm.. being a user of this model (SONY J5) i find it very useful and a great companion to have because it gives you the freedom to venture far and wide and still keep you in-touch with your e-mails even though you are not sitting by your home PC.. the added bonus that i like about the model is how user friendly it is and good to operate it functions... it's a shame that the great graphics that it supports is only useful if you happen to send a SMS or E-mail to others which has a phone capable of supporting such graphics, namely Sony products.. (keeping it in the family) so to speak.. :) Sony j5 user..!

i I've had my J5 for about 2 weeks now and i personally wouldn't be without it, i absolutely adore it, it is the llightest phone i've ever owned and definitely the best looking, it's patented jog dial is wonderful to use for scrolling although the nice big screen makes this unnecessary most times anyway.....This is just a very nice phone where you can record your own ringtones and be the envy of your friends....

Hi,
It's a very good telephone. The sound-quality is excellent, it is very light in weight, battery duration is a bit short. I luv that t9-sms ;) The only things I don't like so much about this telephone, is that the vibration function can't work during the ringtone. And the ringtones are a little hard to hear when it's in my pocket.
