Overall, I really like this phone and I think it’s one of Sony’s middle ground phones. It has everything you could possibly need but it still seems a little basic to me. Don’t get me wrong, I like the phone I’m just saying it’s nothing spectacular. It has a good range of features and many people would be very happy to own this phone and use all the features available – I just think it somehow seems a little too basic for Sony Ericsson. There’s nothing to remember from this phone and it’s not anything that really catches your eye. It’s a good phone it’s just not a brilliant phone
