Trophy
By Desert Rose
I bought this phone in purple - in support of pancreatic cancer awareness and because I wanted a quad band phone.It is nice to look at, has a nice "feel", but the features are basic.There is very little you can do with it in terms of the telephone aspect of it. I guess it is great for photos, especially since it has the photo editor. The screen is the best feature on this phone. It is big and performs well even in direct sunlight (a plus for the camera users). After 6 photos which I transferred from my Nokia I was told that the memory was full. My Nokia 6320 has loads of photos and music on it.With regard to ringtones, you'd probably have to buy the memory card, or stick with what they have on the phone. I was not too enthusiastic about the ringtones the phone came with. I like naturelike sounds and classic ringtones. I read a review which said that Sony was targetting the younger folk (I am 45), so that accounts for the type of ringtones and graphics which are embedded in the phone.The slide mechanism is sturdy, as is the keypad. The slits which represent the select and menu buttons can be a tad difficult if you have long nails, or large fingers (again the target was young folk).The downsides are that the vibrating mechanism is weak and for some reason unknown to me, after 45 minutes of talking on it, the phone cuts off.

lovely little phone
By Aldeta Gumbs
I love this phone I have had it two months now and have the say it is the best phone i have bought so far. The best part is the unusual ever changing themes that always has me pleasantly surprised one color during the day and by eight o'clock another one, then you have butterflies, fire flies and sometimes it is raining, it will change as the month changes it is a really nice feature. The photo and the video are of a good quality and it is easy to pull music to the phone from the computer.Great little phone I love it.

By Slim Fit Classic
I have owned this phone for over a year now and got to know it very well. Let's look at its pros and cons.Pros:1. Design is great: its stylish and sleek design allows for easy placement in pants pocket and very attractive looking while using it as a phone.2. All of is features are pretty basic, as another reviewer pointed out, but gets the job done. After all this is a phone known as an MP3/camera phone only.3. Graphics are are awesome! The 3 different Themes available are great in their own individual way and satisfy people's taste for expressing they own style.4. Both the MP3 player and camera are great tools. Music quality is outstanding, as it should be expected from sony. The camera takes great pictures and has its own photo editing feature...great for picture messaging.5. Battery life is very good as I use it for music playback all the time while commuting to/from work.Cons: (My main complaints)1. Music file transfer is annoying and not that user friendly. Trying to organize my music is a pain as the program does the job for me instead of allowing me to do so.2. The shuffling of songs is HORRIBLE! With a 4GB card I get about 1,000 songs, which is good, but when in shuffle mode I get songs that had been already played and others go without ever being played for days! Manual search for the one song I want takes place. Sony def. has to work on this one!!!3. While listening to music and a call or TXT Msg comes in, the music stops for a sec. or two and then resumes. I think Sony has to make it so when using the MP3 player and a call/txt msg comes in the music should continue and the phone should vibrate or play a light beep to announce such event has happened or at least provide the user with the options.Hope you find this helpful. Please note that no feedback on keypad was offered as this is phone's feature is not for txt msging, that's if you do a lot of texting and web browsing.Cheers!
