This phone is good, but the company trying to screw the customers and they put the Micro chips memory in there, which is not cheap, and also the head set it's very crap.

bogdan you can use mp3 ringtones on z710i!! it is because of the operator firmware that won't let you use them!! I have a z710i with original firmware and I can use mp3 ringtones!

this phone does not support MP3 ringtones..only wav,acc and mid...too bad..i got a convertor to use a real tone...wich,i think,sucks!only in the W series we can use mp3 as ringtone...
the phone is very sensible!!!i dropped it one time from a chair,and the speaker isn`t working anymore...but quess what,it wasn`t the first time i changed the phone because of its speaker [the same model]

i used to be a hardcore nokia fan until i bought this phone.
i've had this phone for almost a year now and im completely satisfied with it.the camera is great and has a host of options. the other regular features are very user friendly.
its real value for money, as compared to nokia.
the only complaint i have against sony ericsson is the quality of the panel. the paint peels off very easily and tends to look a little stupid.
otherwise a really good phone. go ahead and buy it!

Excellent phone. Though this phone doesn't look so good, but its got awesome features with superb software. I'm happy with it. 2MP camera is one of best u can get in this price. Radio receiving is dashing.

I was excited when I bought this phone 5 months ago, now I'm completely disappointed. There are bugs in the software: When I try to recall certain phone numbers from the phone directory, the phone REBOOTS!!! (Screen goes blank for 4 seconds, then I get the initial screen). This happens EVERY time I try to recall these numbers from the list. I cannot even erase them! Now these phone numbers are really lost for me, and so are also some other numbers that lie between them (going to these numbers by browsing the directory is impossible, I have to pass through the "bad" numbers that cause the phone to reboot.) Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions?

to FidoMarkham and zeina I have the z710i firmware and can use mp3 ringtones fine. you do not need w710i firmware to use mp3 ringtones. so flash the phone with the latest z710i firmware (some stores will do this for you but will charge or you could do it using the USB-cable) and all z710i functions like mp3 ringtones will be availible

to use MP3 ringtones (your own) you have to reflash the phone with the w710 firmware. google "z710 to w710" hint, watonserver ;)

zeina,
about the ringtones, mp3's won't work, just convert the files to wma and you'll be fine, mp3's are blocked by the provider. Download a music converter if you need.

Hi i was wondering if anybody had a problem with setting their MP3 as ringtunes. My phone is not letting me set my MP3 as ringtunes because i think i have to unbrand but is there any other way?

nothing: this phone has better quality and bigger size screen, 2x screens, bigger mem, better keypad, better build quality, better bluetooth capabilities, better camera, better radio and lots more features than nokia 5200 but this phone probably will cost a bit more! also 5200 is a slider and this is a flip

I'm planning to get this phone but I'm not too sure if this phone is better or not better than the Nokia 5200 ... any advice? I'm also curious which phone holds more songs

Ships - if you text a lot I wouldnt reccomend the S500. The keys are uncomfortable and can break- but the Z710s keys are very comfortable and easy to press. Also there is no FM radio or infrared port in the S500

I have this phone for few months now. SE is my passion :)
Overall it is great - 9 from 10.
Just few drawbacks of it:
-poor capabilities of MP3 and video players
-poor capability of image viewer, but photoDJ is a cool thing
-low sound quality when talking in regular way, but u can use built in speaker or earphones included
-u should buy a memory card
-quality of earphones included is poor
-batery indicator isnt very accurate, but u can use phone status (even a shortcut key) to check batery status in percents, it is more precise
-strange keypad - i always press 0 instead of 8

But u will get:
-a quite resistant phone - it has fallen few times, but no damage or even scraches were made; no skraches or brushes externally after 4 months use
-good baterry backup
-nice quality camera
-racional menu (u can make almost everything whenever u want just with few clicks)
-nice control of multiapplicational use (task manager is similar to WinXP applicatins tab)
-u always see a clock above, even if u use menu at a time
-ergonomic when taken in hand
-a lot of different shortcut keys
-realiable software

really im not dissappointed with my decision to buy this phone :)

Did allure me and kept me satisfied with the features until i set my eyes on the new S500.Can someone compare the two and objectively assure me as to which is the better one to have?Thanks.
