I bought this phone after I decided that my next phone has to be a clamshell with fairly good music functionality with radio and camera. That was my main requirement and since SE is so famous of it's music capability so i decided to switch to SE after few years of being a nokia fan.
And of course i did all of the possible research and calculating on all of the SE clamshell =) the result? out of the 4 SE clamshell (z750, w710, z710, w300) that has camera, music function with radio, i think this is the best (at least for my needs). Sure it doesn't has 3g like z750 and it doesn't has walkman player like its brother or w300i but it has nice and durable metallic design unlike its brother and the external screen is bigger than z750 and both display is bigger than w300. When comparing this phone with w300 i thought i can't tolerate with the poor camera and small display of w300. And when i actually go out to survey these 4, i notice the shiny finish of z750 prone to have fingerprints all over it the very first time i touch it which surprisingly annoying (to me).
Anyway, I eventually end up with this phone, bought it like a week and i think it's pretty good, both function wise and looks but wonder why it isn't very popular, it's so strange that i have NEVER caught anyone using this phone on the street, in large supermarket or at my college. I guess maybe because the phone is very rare on the market, in fact they have to order it when i ask for the phone. I hope this is a plus though.
Even though it's not from walkman range i think the sound quality is equivalent or slightly better than my Creative Zen V Plus but 1 thing for sure is the radio is definitely better because it has rds and better reception. The camera is okay, it's good to have a 2MP camera around to take picture outdoors but not recommended in low light.
Overall it's really worth to be considered for those who love clamshell phone and want something from SE. Btw, this is my first clamshell phone and my first SE phone, for those who have it, I'm just wondering if there's any way that i can lock this phone to prevent someone else from using my phone or read my messages. Till then, maybe I will continue to review this phone some other time.

Excellent phone!!!
I like the player. The FM radio with the RDS has a very good reception. I bought 1GB M2 and I don't need iPod now. :)
The stereo headphones give high quality sound.
The 2MP camera is amazing!
I have added some themes and it looks much better now.
The only problem I have is that mine is locked to Fido and I can use mp3 as a ring tone. It REALLY sucks.
But overall I would give 9.9/10

Hello co-users,
I just want to ask how I can have access to my messages (SMS) that are saved in my SIM card? Or, is there any way I can transfer it to the phone memory (from SIM memory)? Your answers will be appreciated very much.

This is the best mobile phone I've ever had. I really love its design (I am a flip phone lover)!
Right now, I am planning to buy extra batteries because I want to keep it even until I'm already working. This is the best deal for a flip phone! Really the best - for me! ^_^

to Jas...
1) The maximum is 1000
2) Sadly SE PC Suite can't archive SMS, you will need to use 3rd party software to save SMS messages
3) There is a wired handsfree included, it's not as good as the W710i one but I think it's fine
4) You can't zoom into pictures (like on most other SE handsets)
This phone is great, I've had it a year and still love it :D

I like SE phones in general. I wanted to try flip ohone after my k750i. While it works fine, I found out that I do not like flip phones in general...Also, vibrating feature died on me...

2. whether you can save the sms msgs to a PC via bluetooth or otherwise using pc-suite
3. is there a bundled wired handsfree within the box
4. can you zoom on in pictures saved to memory
I'm seriously considering buying this one. Please help.

It might be a bit bulky compare to some of the later models but its a magnificent phone. I have had mine for ten months now and never had a problem.
