I really dont get you guys....I got this phone a couple of days ago and it's one of the best phones I could find on the market.Awsome features works great on 3g...and still Vodafone is one of the best gsm providers outhere...No echo...no problems ,no nothing.For the guys who complain it doesnt have a flash and a 3,2 MP camera...well...why dont you try to get your self a nice digital camera...I think some of you forget that this is still a phone.Want the highest quality mp3 sound...buy your self and IPod...want flash and best quality photos..buy yourselfs a digital camera.As a phone...this is one of the best.And by the way...display is great ...256K color themes are awsome ,mp3 player is great and the phone call quality is cristal clear.Unless you're livin in the mountains or a cave...this is the phone for you.And for those who dont like black and orange...buy yourself a pink V3...maybe you'll be satisfied then.Don't like the phone ...dont buy it.Stop complaining

Hi All, its my daily message, I have just gone through my 3rd DOA (dead on arrival) phone since 5 days ago. Current problem is echoing (again) and the in-abillity to call the phone (or me dial out) even when I have full reception.
I'm not getting another one, I love the phone, the looks and the use-ability. I just am not confident that my phone will last.

It's supposed to be V630i but anyways I love this phone to bits I was ledge able for a phone upgrade on my contract. So I upgraded from the (sounded great at the time) Sharp GX30i. I thought it would be hard to get used to switching to the Sony Ericsson style from Sharp but it wasn't.

The camera is excellent and video recording it fantastic day or night. The only downfall is you have to purchase an add-on flash the MXE-60. I have yet to buy it but I'm hoping it will make night pictures look like a real camera as it says. MP3 player is also 1 of the great features sounds like a mini disk walkman I used to own but not as loud. Also MP3's can be used as ring tones I've cut mine up to the best bits of my favourite tracks so it sounds better.

Bluetooth is great send and receive MP3's not unlike the GX30i which could only receive files below 400kb. Games are cool supports true 3D games like Ridge Racer the onboard memory for mine is 20mb. But the phone comes with additional 256mb Sony Mini Memory stick (M2) Sony's so called new format. The memory card can be upgraded to 512mb or 1GB which prices range up to £45 which I think is ok if you can afford it.

Finally battery life is excellent I think I've switched my 3G off to make it last longer. The only thing 3G is needed is for video calls but I don't make many of them.

Regards the below message I have done this and my phone still echoes.... I have only had the phone 3 days and I am on my 3rd phone, 3 different DOA problems..........

>>>>The reason why it echoes is because its a 3G phone and the signal is not that great at the moment. You can stop the echoing by switching the band to GSM only.
Press Menu > Scroll Left/Right to "Connectivity" > Scroll to "Mobile Networks" > Press Select > Scroll to "GSM/3G Networks" > Press Select > Scroll To "GSM Only" > Press Select.

I've sent back 2 of these as well for echoing the callers voice back to them, works fine my end and I like the phone, but as i'm about to send back the third for the same fault, I 'm considering a different phone.

Bought the phone 4 days ago. I also bought a MXE-60 flash (true xenon flash / plug-in).
The radio is the only thing they missed to put in. In the rest there is no downside except the phone is not clam-shell form like. I will keep it at least one year. Personal opinions on flash/camera/music/size/menus at my email address : andreir23@yahoo.com
