"Great in most ways, real problems with concert photos" on November 3, 2008 by davidcjohnson

Pros: Great daytime photos, cool snap open camera, nice quality screen with touch on the camera icons

Cons: Takes terrible photos at concerts, very weak and out-of-sync flash

Summary: The camera takes outstanding daytime photos, great movies, etc. However I mainly bought it to have a 5MP camera for concerts where real cameras not allowed in the venue.

I have used it at 4-5 shows now and take dozens of photos in the hopes of getting some good ones. With the settings on auto across the board, I'm lucky to get 1 or 2 photos that actually focus and snap in time.

The camera takes 4-5 seconds sometimes to focus then snap as you hold it up.

You're trying to take a shot of the lead singer from the front row and by the time the thing snaps off he's standing up or turning around.

The flash seems almost out of sync, unless you take a photo of someone in a darker area from about 3 feet away the flash barely lights them up.

I so wanted this to be the ultimate camera, I mean it's the James Bond camera for Pete's sake but the camera is just a huge disappointment.

As a phone it works ok. I get annoyed at the contact list where after highlighting the contacts phone number I can't just press Enter again to dial, that takes you to the contact list, you have to reach over and hit the dial button.

"Great phone" on April 13, 2009 by sonisoe

Pros: all work well

Cons: key pad is a bit cramped.. camera could be a bit better but for me it's good enough....

Summary: very good phone overall.... am actually a sony ericsson fan simply because they produce high quality phones with very good designs from the low-end to the high-end product lines... SE arguaby have the best camera and excellent - if not the best - music features on mobile phones....

"DO NOT BUY ANY SONY ERICSSON CELL PHONES" on January 8, 2011 by dexteriot

Pros: camera, player, design

Cons: THEIR PROPRIETARY FASTPORT CONNECTOR IS A REAL BAD THING, FAILS AFTER VERY SHORT USE. I HAD TWO SONY ERICSSON PHONES - SAME PROBLEM. CANT LISTEN TO MUSIC OR CHARGE. GOOGLE IT, ITS ALL OVER INTERNET

"Smart looking, slim build with good all round features" on April 5, 2010 by grejoh

Pros: This mobile is built around the camera being 5.0 mega pixel with enhanced features such as touch screen functions to boot, not to mention the music platform, radio and bluetooth witch can be paired with bluetooth headphones for convenience.

Cons: Mac heads beware, SE great for Windows, but not for OS X, isync and Media Sync are available for contacts and itunes, but not video transfer, " Media go" is Window only, you can transfer recorded Video back and forth but not upload clips from the web

Summary: With PC platform drawback only a slight issue in my view, music, contacts and theme creator work well with the Mac either direct connection or bluetooth, I am sure Media go" will eventually be available, I like the idea that the network configuration is GSM and 3G with video calling upgradable for the future, so' with a sim-free version the sky's the limit.
