A very pleasant phone if you require software liability - simple and good. The only minus is lack of multimedia functionality, but as a communication devise it does great :)

I have had mine since they first came out and have loved it. It is rugged and doesn't drop many calls. (the hinge is loose, but still works fine) I am disappointed that it doesn't offer speaker phone though. But I am in the market for a new sony Eric and am looking at the V-800. Any comments about the 800?

Hello. the main reason this cellphone resets itself is floating memory bad-handler.
this means that everytime the phone deals with too much at the same time the autoreset will be activated without your permission, sort of like a stereo amplifier shuttin down when the volume is too high to protect itself for major damage. this is a flaw/bug in the software since this phone was a bad seller back in the asian lands... beware and dont buy it unless u can upgrade and service the software by yourself or have a minimum knowledge of ROM dumping and flashing.
Hope i helped and opened your eyes...

I have this phone for about 1 year and 6 months, it works nice; the battery life is huge 5-7 days, i can't figure how but that's the fact; sometimes freezes and turned off by itself last winter for several times; the camera is indeed poor; it has bluetooth and infrared and that's a good fact, the connection by datacable is extremely slow (70kb in more than 2 minutes); there are a lot of games for it, even a game console which i find it not necessary for this phone. now it vanished from de market. when my dad bought this phone it was about 300$ in Oman and here in Romania was 500$, a very big price for this phone. i've dropped it a lot of times, only the covers were scratched. it's very easy to use, very loud speaker, too bad it hasn't got built-in handsfree. it's normal to hear a click when you open and close it because that's it's string, it holds the phone closed or opened(i hope you understand what i meant). it's sarvalue is extremely low 0.16 which is a good thing. i think this phone is a worth of money. after 1.5 years it works smooth. it's nice

When I bought this model Z600, I was crazy with it! I loved the look, pretty cute-flip one. I have this for 1yr. & 5months. Lately, I encountered a couple of problems like the volume is real low (very frustrating that you have to pressed it hard on to your ear). In the beginning, I noticed right away that it has less memory,too bad. It's very inconvenient to delete my SMS's. I loved storing my messages but I can't because of a low memory. One last thing is the camera-it has a very limited room. So far I still love it. Can't afford to upgrade into a newer and nicer version of Sony Ericsson. Happy Holidays!

I've had this phone for a good 2 years now, and it still works very well, with good battery life.

To everyone complaining about lack of memory, no mp3s, the low quality cam: at the time of its release (Oct 2003) it had ample memory + one of the better cameras available, and mp3 phones were non existant.

Early in it's lifecycle, it was very succesful in the business segment. It's been EOL for quite some time now, and I'm hoping SE will release a comparable phone in the future, a clamshell that is slightly more high end than the Z520...

Aside from it's bulkiness it's not a bad phone. It has annoying issues like crashing and the speaker connection seems faulty. The hinge came loose after a week, this annoys me as it's not a difficult task to manufacture.

i had one since it was released, its a GREAT phone, if a phone is what you need, if you want mp3, camera ect ect forget it. I would get another one like that but its out of the market in Greece as very old so i am getting the z520 that will hopefully be the closest thing to it
SpeakerToggle, me i washed in in the washing machine, if yours survived the toilet maybe i can give a second try to mine

I just bought a used one - and my first impression is great - BUT: the speaker has a lose contact. Often the ring is not heard, thus. If I press down the cover over the speaker, the sound plays, but after a while the speaker disconnects, again.

Might be due to transport shock - I wonder if this problem has been ocurred more frequent and how easy it is to fix?

I have had this phone since it cam out, for 1 year and 6 months, and i must say it is pretty reliable. The only bad things about it is that the memory is very small, so you have to delete old pics and sms'es to make room for new ones. Also, the voice recording doesnt work because it gets stuck when you playback, and the phone freezes when you are deleting pictures. I dropped my phone in the toilet once, and after 7 days it was working fine again. A great phone, only very heavy and makes a loud click sound when you open it and close it.
