I'm surprised with the reviews sometimes. You want to buy something and you want to check whether people like it by reading the reviews but what you find is such different opinions that it's impossible to find out if the item is really good or not. So I bought this phone before anyone posted a review on amazon.
I actually took two same phones - black one for me and red one for my wife. We are both happy as we use them as just the phones. I doesn't look cheap and it looks way batter then previous model w580i. I would even say that w580i is just a crap. I owned w300i before and it would be a great phone if not for the buttons. It didn't have green/red buttons to make a call and disconnect as all normal phone have. Instead it hasd C button. This phone has all the buttons you neeed and they are big and have enough space between them.
The screen is big, bright and has good resolution. I like the menus and that you can create shorcuts on arrow buttons. Also Address book is accessible by pressing right button, camera is turned on by left button, menu is selected by "enter" button so you can program 4 arrow buttons anyway you want.
I also considered z750 but read a lot of bad reviews about its battery. I hope this one performs better. People recharge z750 after 1-2 days, these two phones already two days since the last charge and still have 75% of their charge. I guess it will become worse but still...
What else... You slide the phone to close it and it locks itself to prevent accidental press of a button, you slide it open and it unlocks or you can press two buttons to unlock it which means you don't have to open it at all unless you need to dial. I guess this is standard.
The speaker is good and loud. You can even listen to the music on it (of course the quality is not like a boombox).
One of the reviewers rated this phone with one star by saying that it doesn't have memory to store songs and the sync up software is bad. I can add to this that this phone doesn't have a flashlight, a karaoke, a scanner, a printer and windows vista premium. I guess this is because it's just a phone. What a sync software has to do with the phone? I don't even have this software so I have no idea if it's bad or not. And memory - 4gb flash card costs around 20$!!! And when you buy a digital camera do you get much memory with it? This review is just for the phone not for add-ons.
I'm actually angry with all the phone manufactures that they don't make standard headphone jacks on the cell phones. You need to have an adapter and this phone doesn't even have one in the package! w300i came with one but it's a pain to remember to take it with you so I listened to the music just couple of times as I never had the adapter with me when I needed one. Shame on you SONY and everyone else! You already created a mess with batteries, charging devices and cables now you added this headache with the headphones.
I don't know if the camera is good. it doesn't have a flash so it's like an "emergency" camera. I've never used a camera on the phone.
So my resume. This is a great phone and the best I've seen so far. If it proves itself as reliable as w300i I would say this is the best CELL PHONE ever made.
