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.

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.

I must say the phone is cheap, practical, pretty and a lightweight. But the bad stuff about it is the battery life which is really really bad. I charge the phone for half a day and of course the battery bar is full. But when I start calling, smsing or even playing the games just for a short while, battery life starts dwindling even after being charged for a full day sometimes. It's really annoying especially coming from a good phone company. The next thing is the slow interface which can be annoying at times. Things that I like about this phone are the ringtones which are really loud and clear. They sound good, too. Colors of the phone are also fine even though it's using CSTN technology. Overall a good phone but they should upgrade the battery as it's really bad.
