It's my second SE phone (first was the T68i).The entire time I've had this phone, never had "ANY" issue with it; no lock-ups/freezing.nothing. Great walkman phone, takes good pics (for a 2MP camera), and perfect size.The only reason I retired this phone, is I got another phone as birthday gift this year; and it's also a SE phoneI HIGHLY RECOMMEND this baby. Got this as a birthday gift in 2006. The phone simply worked like a charm.
It was used and it was in an old box. I advice you all not to buy produect from this vendor.[.]. The sony ericsson w810i phone that was advertised says it's new, but the phone I recieved via mail was used also there was some picture in the memory card of the phone. I was so disappointed.The Vibecellular is good in delivery time not in the product quality.
It was holding only 25% of charge and died after 2 charges. So after waiting for a while I have to buy a replacement OEM battery.
The battery, seller and firmware are real disappointments. The software can't be uninstalled or removed by firmware reflash.
The other consideration - the phone is actually a Cingular cell phone and it comes with a lot of software linked to Cingular network. After all the phone is just fine.
The phone has come with the old battery. The seller didn't respond to my message.
The seller should mention that fact in unit's description.
The only thing that prevents it from being perfect is that it's now out of date, the flash is a constant on LED that's blindingly bright in a dark place, and there is no 3.5 headphone jack. Has always worked reliably with good reception. Heard it's better if you're a geek like me who wants something to play with, but will miss the easy functionality and compact form of my trusty w810. Every time I buy a new phone I try to find one that tops my old phone in every way. I've had this phone for over 2 years now. I'm looking at getting the HTC Fuze now.
This phone has about a 5 second delay between taking pictures though, which I found to be a bit much. My 5 year old nextel phone had a far superior speaker. I don't like earbuds, so I didn't really test the ones that came with the phone. The software for that comes for the downloading the files, is not very good, but it got the job done. I got the cheapest rollover minutes plan, which if you are like me, and you don't use your phone alot for calls, you will save up a redicously large amount of minutes, for up to 12 months.
It also takes video. The screen itself is a decent size and good quality. The speaker for this phone for both calls and music is awful, especially considering this is a walkman phone. There were also 3 separate rebates that were supposed to take the phone down to $0, but as I'm sure they expect, it was so difficult, I simply forgot to send them in.
I don't use my cell phone that often, and I frequently found that when I did pull out my old nextel phone to use, it was dead. Without purchasing a memory card though, there is very little internal memory, something like 30mb. I bought a GB card for the phone and downloaded all my mp3's to the phone. The buttons are also a bit too small, however they are raised, providing good tactile feel.
The 2mp camera works well, and frankly I cannot tell the difference between pictures taken with it and my supposedly superior 8mp sony camera. I got this phone for about $150 with a 2 year contract through AT&T. Strangely, the music volume always seems to return to a default level, and I have to keep raising the volume. Still $150 for this phone when it was new was pretty good, especially considering that it was otherwise selling for $400-500 when it was new.The phone sports a 2mp camera, and an mp3 player, two devices I really wanted in my phone. I miss my flip phone here, and am considering going back to one. I contacted Sony Ericson and they said it was a software glitch.
It feels and looks well constructed, although I do not care much for the few orange color buttons and screen. Both devices take good pictures. This sony phone typically still has some juice left for me to make my calls. The phone is too small, and only comes about half way down my cheek. The phone was incapable of downloading the software updates and fixes, so I had to send it in.
I got back in a reasonable amount of time, however, it was a refurbished phone, and not the one I sent in. The biggest problem I had, is that in the first year my phone got a blank white screen. Sony Ericson phones are typically the best for talk and standby time, and this one is no different, with something like 8-9 hours talk time.
(you lose rollover minutes that are beyond 12 months). However hooked up with a pair of headphones, my mp3's sound pretty good. You will need a memory card to take full advantage of the this phone's camera and music features.
Still, since getting back, the phone has worked fine. I've had this phone for a couple years and overall its a pretty good phone. You need the bar code on the box for each rebate and purchase receipts, and one had to be sent in within 30 days, and another in the fourth month, and another in the fifth month.
With the 2GB card I purchased, even with all my downloaded music, I still have more then enough room for taking pictures and videos.
