I have been using this phone for a year.
Love this phone so much.the functions are awesome.I do have problems where i does shut down automatically but when i just leave it shut for an hour or two its back to normal.
Im using the gold plated and its still look new and elegant.

Loved this phone for the first 6 months and now I feel like I'm having to get it replaced every week! First one ended up getting major software problems, the second one shut off randomly all the time and while it could make calls people couldn't hear me and same thing again with the third. Signing an extra long contract for the price break was a terrible idea.

hi dirtiwhiteboi check GSM ARENA's review of the W710 http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_e...view-124.php the camera is exactly the same as the Z710i, see if the sample pictures look like yours.
If yours are much worse quality chances are you have a software bug or faulty camera... try flashing the handset again

oh yeah, before i forget to mention, i bought this item used and it is unbranded and unlocked - i have no idea if there was maybe something done (or UNdone) in the unlocking process that may be a contributing factor to the crappy camera performance... the images are just grainy as all get-out and some streaks through the middle at times, depending upon backlighting, etc.
thanks again :)

hey all - i just bought this phone after having done all my research (or so i thought)... the rave reviews that people have given this phone are what landed me on the decision to purchase it, but i am sorry to say that i personally think the camera (or at least the camera in MY unit) 'sucks out loud'.
in comparison i get similar quality, if not better, photo images from my Nextel/Moto i850 which is a VGA cam which is a sub-1MP. i recently had an i880 that was superior in image quality with a 2MP as well. perhaps there are some sort of settings that could be adjusted or maybe flashed? ...i dunno'.
i have been at my wit's end tryng to figure out what phone i wanna' get for my upcoming 'end-of-contract' event thru Nextel... thinking i would love to go with GSM - preferrably EDGE also, but this recent trial & error run i've been having is getting confusing.
my youngest niece just got a Razr the other day & i was amazed at the hi-quality images it takes... this is sort of leaning me (now) toward a Razr purchase myself. i have been researching the V3x, and whereas the reviews (for the most part) on this site are tales of bugs & self-thinking hardware, i am still impressed with the complete package that the phone has to offer (not to mention 2-way video calling).
a GOOD, hi-MP camera & clamshell design are very important to me and i'd like to find one that delivers all the goods, without trying every one on the market, only to have the final one be outdated by time i decide - lol.
at any rate, i am extremely pleased with the menus and the flash screensavers & desktop themes in general, as well as the MP3 performance of this item. the free-floating MP3 controls on the face of the phone are ba little 'clicky' if you get too into your music, but all in all, it's a great little clamshell.
i was recently checking out an article wherein it was mentioned that a possibility to change firmware from Z710i to W710i was attainable thru XS, but i am unable to get this phone to be recognized/connected with XS for whatever reason.
if anybody might be able to shed some light on the sub-standard imaging of this item, i certainly would appreciate the feedback & input. i can be contacted here: dirtiwhiteboi @ gmail . com.
thanks all & keep up the good work :)

Everytime I charge my phone I get an alien battery charging log. On top of that my battery life runs out fast from full to half to epmty. Does anyone else have this problem? Is my phone defective?

I think it's still one of the best cameras you can get on a flip phone currently. Heck, the Z710 is one of the best flip phones!
Anyone notice the cool fading squares animation that displays on the blue external screen when you're in a call? Nice touch. I wish there was a way you could get that to play at other times too, like a screensaver.
