The good: Lightweight; simple and functional design; triband; long battery life; affordable.
The bad: Disappointing display; slow interface; barebone feature set.
The bottom line: If you can live with the sluggish operating interface, the Sony Ericsson J200i is an easy choice for any traveler who just needs to be contactable.

by innocent_victim - Oct 26, 2005

After reading "Avoid at all costs (well... $50)" (another review here) a few months ago I went ahead and bought the phone anyway. After a week of use I felt foolish ignoring that review as almost all problems mentioned were there. The battery life is terrible. It can go flat after one phone call during the day. A friend had one and he has same problem. The documentation that comes with the phone is terrible. An example is it says it doesn't support profiles. However, it does. WHY HAVE a dedicated ringtone speaker yet no speakerphone? It's so lame. After 5 minutes on this phone it gets really hot and somtimes starts to echo my voice louder than the other persons'. It makes the phone unusable. The phone's construction is terrible and it creaks each time I use the keypad. PLEASE do not buy this phone, I beg of you. Take anonymous' advice and get something better. A higher SE is better. They don't have the cheap construction.
