Have had quite a number of phones over the years and i would say this quite good. It has all the best bits of the SE's of the past years but doesnt really excel at anything. However i would still recommend this phone. Just wish they had changed some of the user interface so that it doesnt resemble a K750i

I have to say, I have been looking for my next phone for almost 2 years now, and as an owner of a SE K750i - which I have to say was an outstanding phone for it's time - i was expecting big things from this phone, given the reviews and the hype. However, I am really disappointed. I am a huge fan of SE and what they can acheive, but in 5 years it seems SE have not thought of anything new to put on this phone. The interface has not changed in over half a decade and there is very little that is exciting about this phone. While I believe that if something works there is no need to change it, I have to say user requirements have moved on since the groundbreaking K750i and this is not really reflected in this phone. In fact, it even lacks the immensely useful standby screen which allowed you to see the time and any new events (missed calls/messages) without ever having to press a button on the phone, big mistake. The text messaging is slower and I don't really see why this should be. the calculater could be heavily modernised and many of menu options could do with several added options to allow the user to better manipulate how things appear and how they want to navigate around. I could go on and on, all in all if i keep this phone it is only because I am so desperate for something new and this is just a prettier version of what I already have (and yes, I do think it is a sexy little phone, albeit a bit plasticy at the back). I do think that SE (and Nokia) are far more on the ball and this phone is probably better than many out there, but it has not satisfied my search for that classic SE mixture of cutting edge technology with superbly thought-out interfaces and navigation. I am definitely still on the look out for my next phone!

The Mobile Is Outstanding,I Bought It 1 Day Before.Its Completely A King In Your Hands.Supporting Wi-Fi,Bluetooth,Accelerometer,TrackID,2.4" Screen And Many More Features Make It A Valueable Mobile At Your Service.Can't Stop To Say That It Is A Phone Requiring More Than 5 Stars.Better Than Nokia.
