Having been a Nokia user for the past 10 years, I never expected SE to catch up again. But SE seems to have finally done so with the release of Cedar. This phone seems to have hit the jackpot with all the right features - 3.5mm jack, microSD, VGA video recording, 3g with video calling,... at a very good price point too. Its a masterpiece. Way to go, SE.
The only thing they haven't done their homework on is the software. The OS isn't as customizable and user friendly as Nokia's S40 and typing SMSs still gives me the jitters.(or has it improved?)

s a t y a , 14 Oct 2010now tat so many have brought this mobile, can someone plz give an in-depth review of it, a rea... moreOK, here is some short review.
It is my first Sony Ericsson after many years and a number of Nokia handsets and I must admit that I am really happy with it.
Cedar is not the high-end product and you shouldn't expect any mind-blowing features. But it doesn't feel very cheep like some other handsets. Screen is decent, keyboard is quite comfortable and almost no laging. Web browsing is a pleasure (especially with Opera mobile). It is not a dedicated music handset but for casual listening with a good pair it is quite good. Camera is just OK, but I think it is a little bit more than suitable for your mobile social life. And it has a micro-USB and 3,5mm audio jack! :)
Of course, it has some cons too. For example you can't change functions for left and right soft keys (maybe new software will change it?), you can't rearrange main menu, some things like Google maps or notes are not placed quite logical. But hey, even best phones out there have some cons :)
All in all I think it is a good low-cost phone for a non-demanding user, who wants a decent handset without paying an Earth :)

I personal think it not the hardware but the software that is the culprit here... As I said in my Previous I would Honestly wait for 1 or 2 Firmware updates before loosing my faith on Cedar...!
Hope U get the Point.....

utouh, 13 Oct 2010yep, venky ur right, cedar's speaker is very very poor, my friends bought one and she said it ... moreIf U remember Correctly Naite's Volume was too Low in The Initial Batch But Was Rectified in subsequent Firmware Updates. Give Cedar Some time, now-a-days even the best of companies bring out products that are half baked(Did Some Say Nokia.... Apple....) & Later firmware update take of their short comings. My Honest opinion is that.... wait for at least 2 firmware updates before being too harsh on Cedar....
Of Course It's Just My Personal Opinion....

Cedar's price in SE showroom is Rs.5550
Naite's price is Rs.6050
Cedar has better earphone,looks better than naite,3.5mm jack,3G is faster and has more memory internal and expandable memory
Niate's speaker volume is more,it has front camera and is thinner than cedar and has better battery back up
so feature of both the mobiles are almost same but naite costs 500 rs more + you have to buy better earphone so its almost 1000rs more than cedar
