CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: 3.5mm audio jack; full set of connectivity features; GPS; good 3.2-megapixel camera; excellent WVGA display; nice design. 8.4
out of 10View score
The bad: Panel interface can be slow; camera interface and focusing slow; average battery life; optical joystick not particularly useful.
The bottom line: Sony Ericsson's first attempt at a Windows Mobile phone is a good one which will satisfy productivity and entertainment needs.

Jun 21, 2009Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: looks, qwerty keyboard, panels, excellent screen, solid build, 3.5mm jack, decent camera, very good battery life, fully loaded..
Cons: 1st time windows mobile user will find it slow and confusing and not user friendly but if you can survive 1 week with it you will find this 1 of the best OS..
Opinion:
hi all.. i have been using this phone for more than 6 months and i am very happy with it.. it does not hang and i am using 16 gb card with it and i have more than 2000 photos, 1000 songs and 100 videos and lots of applications.. the trick with windows mobile is if your phone hangs a lot it may be due to third party softwares and once you delete the software your phone wont hang at all atleast it helped me.. it is a excellent business and mulitmedia phone.. i check my mails on it, listen to music and watch movies also, play games also.. do it all phone.
Horrible experience
Jun 7, 2009Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Camera is decent
Cons: Too many to list. See below
Opinion:
My worse experience with a handphone ever. Here are the reasons:
1. Phone - hangs often, at least twice a day but ok after switching it off and then on again.
2. SMS - allows only one line of text visible and sometimes even that line may become compressed and I can't see what I am typing at all! Difficult to cut and paste, forward, call phone numbers in message, have to delete everything twice - once in inbox and again in deleted items.
3. Panels - looks nice but in reality takes time to take effect as I have to wait for it to load. Always starts off with New York time and then slowly changes to local time. Other smartphones are instantaneous when switching functions.
4. COntacts are confusing. hard to enter data. If you don't key in your search requirements properly you willl not find it. I have missed a couple of important calls because of this ... Read more
Poor quality and bad service
May 31, 2009Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: stylish phone
Cons: qwerty keyboard of very low quality
Opinion:
I'm a heavy busniss user and will sell the phone after 4 month. As I it mainly for emails, notes, appointments, sms I purchased it for 75% for its keyboard. But that sucks. They fixed it already two times but it's just unreliable and is more an obstacle than any sort of help.
I expected a lot and ended up very disappointed...
