Pros: Looks great, quality cabling, quality sound from the earphones
Cons: Remote/GPS receiver a bit chunky, awkward to clip onto everyday clothes unless you only use the small clip, and get this, it DOESN'T come with software, no maps for australia at the time I purchased it - still don't know if they exist now.

I managed at one stage to get the maps to work (I think this was during the free 1 month "trial" period) and even then, it kept telling me it could not connect to the Wayfinder server. SE initially told me the maps would be available in late January... Its now mid April... After numerous calls, Sony Ericsson said I had to contact Wayfinder and Wayfinder said that they are currently working on it and will email me - which hasn't yet happened (other than the initial email to say they will contact me). I love SE phones but the accessories do not seem very well thought out.
