Anonymous, 22 Jan 2011does 'everything' include phonecalls quality?? (signal & earpiece)I don't know what's wrong with julian's zylo but in my case zylo provides better signal strength & better earpiece sound as compared to cedar.
Signal strength & earpiece sound quality were almost same as cedar before the software update for zylo but after the update both the things have improved providing better experience than cedar.

Don't expect a phone to provide ultimate listening experience in there kinda songs.
Yeah, phone is speedy in loading even if it's a 8 gb card.
Phone's sound quality is nice with good headphones.

The things u said aren't important to most of the people.
U r combining features from every other single brand & putting them in front of se phones.
U r taking one feature from samsung, one from moto, one from nokia & saying that SE phones don't have them but what abt the 20-30 features that SE phones have but none of other company phones have.

I checked my dad's nokia X2 and ALL the shortcuts can be changed easily.That's why I wrote the previous comment.

Wait I rememberd another annoying thing.You can't change the shortcuts from the left(media) and right (search)soft keys.Also I deactivat widgets and still can't put another shourtcut on the up key.Or am I wrong again?

abhi, 21 Jan 2011-The last row of button is good to press. That's a typing issue with u not phone's keypad.
-I... moreAbhi first I own the phone.I can scan&send you the receipt and the waranty paperif you leave me an email adress.Second I compared the software from a specific motorola a specific samsung with cedar. I didn't say samsung make the best phones or that motorola phones are perfect.I totally agree with you regarding themes, multitasking, unlimited messages, internal memory ,battery backup,,the bluetooth sending files directly to memory card!Great features and some of them unqiue to SE!Also I was pleasently suprised to see SE got rid off fast port and put SD instead of M2.BUT
-the accept call list is not so flexible eas the reject list.for example if you have 500 contacs and you want to reject calls from a single contact you would have to put the others 499 one by one in the list.am I right or not?
-I don't want disco lights from the keyboard.I just want to activate it during a time interval(put it off during day and on through the evening).it would save a bit the baterry agree?
-the missed call event indicator is another story. For example I leave the phone on the desk and I'm away when I return it should allert me regarding new calls or text messages throug a beep or light(remember the blue leds on nokia 6300?) without me pressing a key.I don't thins SE has got this!
Also an auto-shutdown/power up feature would make the battery last longer(I don't use the phone during the night).There should also an option to set the time after wich the keypad gets locked.
I'm not interested in social networks so I don't find widgets that useful.All my friens have at most 2 numbers so what's the use of 7 numbers per contact? Also I don't want to note in the phone the size of the shoes they are wearing,their height and weight and all that detailed stuff.The adress would sufice.
For now that's all I would like to say.

Anonymous, 21 Jan 2011are you julian that having the signal prob with zylo?? has your problem solved? do you also h... moreAbout the signal problem, i'm on roaming right now and I wasn't able to change my sim before I left so there is no final answer to the problem yet. I use the net more than I make calls now but once I had very muffled sound even with a full signal. Dunno the reason but other times it was fine. Volume is a little low in noisy places but it's acceptable.

I don't own a cedar, but I know a few people who do and they all seem to be happy with it. I'm also not very pleased with the slider form factor of the zylo but the huge screen is what justifies that. The 2.2" of the cedar isn't exactly tiny though. So I would rate it the best vfm phone from SE. Btw, my 16gb card has only 400mb free. It's slightly slower but not painfully so.

Andrew J., 20 Jan 2011I bought Cedar two months ago.It's my first SE and for sure the last!I also own Motorola Ve538... morehere's what i thought about Samsung..it sucks to the bottom!
from all phones i used (Motorola, Siemens, Philips, Sony Ericsson and Samsung), i'd still vote for Sony Ericsson in a heartbeat. i don't have Cedar, yet, but i found it very interesting.
Let me tell you something, in general, about Samsung, still using it (Spica), but hate it. it restarts with no reason, keep having trouble in connecting it with my pc (so i have to use bluetooth, devastating), battery sucks, the touch screen errors much, damn slow, camera sucks, slow opening. now i don't wanna use it for anything unless for calls and SMS.
now i'm going back to SE, for sure.
