"Absilute junk, SLOW & unreliable."
Pros: Looks nice and the camera is nice for long distance shots.
Cons: SLOW software.
Summary: This is the worst phone I have had.
NO backlight control (1.5 seconds it goes black)
POOR camera closeup & dim light.
FORGET the FM transmitter in any city, will NOT work at all.
I have always liked Sony Ericsson phones, but this one is true JUNK!
The software is like a 386 computer trying to run Windows xp, it just dragggggs through the screens, that is once you actually get it to power up.
Camera, long distance is nice, anything with dim light or less then 3 feet range is all blurry, no matter how steady you are.
The FM transmitter will not work in a city, it needs clear bands with no overlap broadcasting, so that feature is non-usable.
BUT the worst of all, is the backlight, it turnes the phone screen black in 1.5 seconds, and it is NOT adjustable!
Combine all of this with the rude unhelpful attitude of the Sony Ericsson customer support, and I guaranty you have a real LOSER here!
And this junker cost me $400 for this lesson, I hope you read this and learn for less then I did!

I perfectly agree for your bad exp with this phone. But mine isn't that bad. Rather, the phone works perfectly, now what can you expect from a 3 MP cam in dim light....
