Overall, the phone is not bad at all.
I got this phone for 300 US dollars with shipping. The external screen only shows part of the text message. you can check appointments for the day. You can play videos.

can someone confirm if this phone has the stereo bluetooth profile (A2DP)? I've seen reviews that says it does, but it's not listed on the sonyericsson website with it

the SE homepage lists the stereo handsfree as part of the standard package.

can the SMS notification tone be set to remind you repeatedly (every 5 mins or so) that you have a message until you open that message? The Samsung has this feature and I find it very uiseful.

and who thinks this phone is worth $400 canadian dollars?
is it a good buy for me at that price?
Im not looking for the most technically advanced phone in the world, but better then average specs

The back light is not always on. It will be turned on when you press the external buttons, or when you close the phone.

The phone doesn't play full screen video, which sucks.

I have it and I'm loving every inch of it ... I had a Samsung D500 before, which was very good too ... but this one is awesome! You can do everything with it! Amazing.

The reception is actually very good for this phone, compare to K750 and W800

The battery life is a little shorter than what I expected. I played some mp3s, and talked on the phone for like an hour for one day. I need to recharge it at night. Maybe it's just my first day getting it, so I played on it a lot. Sony is used to be considered as good at battery life. I hope this is does too.

At last, if you ask for my opinion, I wouldn't recommend this phone for you, because I don't want that many people to have the same good phone as I do, haha.

I like this phone, mostly because of its look. In fact, the real one does look very cool too. It's a thick phone compare to other slim flip phones, so if you are looking for a slim phone, dont buy this one. I actually like its thickness. It fits comfortably in my hand. Fliping open and close the phone makes a "duh" sound, telling you it's in the right position...(not sure about this one).

My package of the phone comes with USB cable, the software CD, 64mb M2 already installed in the phone, manuel, and the handset. The original package doesn't come with the handfree I think, because the seller that I bought from claimed that the stereo handfree was a gift.

I try the MP3 function, the quality of the mp3s is as good or better as K750, the one I had before. The external screen is very big, but the blue color is not the same as the showcase photo shows, a little darker. When you are talking the screen will remain on with pure blue color, which looks very cool at night. Plus the inside keypad blue lighting is very cool in dark too. Text msg can't be read on the external screen (at least I don't know how to). The external buttons can be locked by a slider button at the side of the phone. The internal screen is the same size as K750, a little disappointment on this.

continue later...
