The model comes in two trims - Precious Black and Golden White. As you might have guessed our unit possesses the white one. But which one is more fetching – that was what rose heated debates among our staff. No doubt, the darker finishing scores an obvious victory on face-to-face comparison, but let me remind you how many sliders in black are on the market – at least a dozen, although they differ from the reviewed device design-wise, but look pretty much alike from a distance. Now what about white – as a matter of fact there aren’t so many of white-colored phones out there – maybe some models by Samsung, e.g. Samsung X810, or Siemens EL71 featuring silver color. Basically these are manufacturers themselves who made black color the dominating one. So this is the stage where consumers step into the limelight with their desire to be noted with a fresh-looking handset in their hands. By the way, Sony implements the same policy with its PSP console – while the black trim gets higher sale rates, the white finishing is far behind, but not because of being unpopular or unclaimed etc., but due to the European distributors preferring more spread colors. This has eventually led all customers, who would like to get their hands on a white PSP, to the shady market, where they are offered more expensive (by huge 10-15 percent as compared to the black ones) units.

It’s an expensive mobile to start with but hopes are that it’s got more than needed to become the bestseller. You can download free games, themes, pics and ringtones off the Sony Ericsson website. I also downloaded the application-CONVERTER free. You just need to enter the WAPwebsite on your phone www.sonyericsson.com/fun
Hope this helps you and all the other folks wanting freebies for this amazing phone.

In my opinion, slider concepts' purpose is to reduce phone size. THis phone was not made for that purpose
