Sony Ericsson G502 - user opinions and reviews

This is an awesome phone!! I've been using it since Sep 2008 and the phone still feels new! The construction is solid and the buttons are strong. The phone is actually tiny by today's standards (bricks are reappearing as smartphone users graduate to bigger screens) and some of my friends actually appreciated the fact that it is so compact yet very powerful!
200ppi display is bright and excellent for reading text on web pages even though it is only a 2" display. Viewing angles are great. This is one of the best displays I've seen on a non touch feature phone.
It does some amount of multitasking with ease. The fast port connector and the original DCU-60 cable (bought separately) still work fine. I installed a 2GB M2 card purchased from a Sony World outlet.
I've done heavy texting and the keyboard is fantastic for this purpose. The design is smart, with the speaker hidden behind the silver strip at the back. Neat. Pretty neat! Sony Ericsson did an excellent job on the design. The mic, speaker, earpiece are all very clear and just perfect for conversations.
Audio is crystal clear and mind blowing while played via the speaker and headphones.
The phone is notorious for its sporadic reboots but I found this out to be an issue only when the phone memory is too full. I cleared it up (20MB free now) and it does not reboot so often, but still does just once in 2-4 days, or a week.
Battery backup is unbelievable after 3 and a half years of usage. Still lasts a couple of days under moderate usage with a little bit of GPRS browsing.
The only downsides are that you'll need to buy the proprietary data cable and M2 card separately (which are cheap now since Sony scrapped M2 for its phones in favour of microSD). It still has a decent 32MB of internal memory.
All in all, an excellent phone. If you do not want a smartphone or touch phone, you should still consider this if it is available. Should cost around INR 4000 (~$80).

YES it may have problem with restarts, BUT.. i recently fix it by doing softare reinstall which can be done with SE PC Companion. Try it and after clean install this phone is rock solid again, using for almost 3 years now. Great secondary phone.

I have got this phone from 4 years and the phone is ok. The problem is that since this model has many defective units (theese units may auto-restarting, auto-off and more hardware and software problems). Another problem is that plastic is not very good quality and the seats are burnished after long use. Whatever plastic, the defective units are very big problem.But if you don't have defective unit (i don't have that luck) you will be very happy with G502!
