Summary: Stay as far away as you can run!
Comment: I bought it in December 2005 as a gift for my brother. Kudos to Sony, it failed in 7 months for no reason! It turned off once and never turned on again. I called Sony-Ericsson and explained that phone has failed but I can't send for repair them as it was overseas at that moment (my brother was using it in Europe) and I can Only send it to them in January 2007. They refused it to repair under warranty since warranty will have been expired by then.
Although it had failed while under warranty, I sent it being a fee for repair. Here I am not even talking about the trouble their service center caused about the payment. More than one month later, their repair center sent it back to me unrepaired (and yet they charged $25 for nothing). I called the repair center and they told me that the phone is "unfixable"
After all, I paid so much money for a piece of junk. If you are willing to pay for garbage, then go ahead and buy it.
This is not my for experience with Sony. Terrible item, terrible service, terrible company.

Summary: Excellent phone...other SonyEricsson better for price
Comment: I OWNED this phone for 1 year.
I HAVE OWNED SonyEricsson T610 and many other Nokia phones.
I CURRENTLY OWN SonyEricsson K790a, and LOVE it.
PROS:
-Bluetooth, MP3's, Internet, Java, Camara, Screen, Color, Overall Styling, Large Selection of Accessories
-EXCELLENT camara, even for only 2MP. Similar camera features to Sony CyberShot Products
-EXCELLENT battery life considering features. Held charge just as good after 1 year as the day I bought it
-Small, fits in ANY pockets nice
-Screen Resolution is similar to other phones, however the pixels are closer together and produce crisper images and refresh rates than other phones. This is something MOTOROLA has been horrible at, including the RAZR and SLVR
-Joystick makes navigation fast and easy for internet, games, and phone operation
-Durable: Mine survived half a dozen 3 to 4 foot drops. Doesn't fall apart
-MemoryStick Duo is cheap, and compatible in many other of my Sony products
-Excellent call quality
-Faster processor than predecessors for faster applications and better animated menus and icons
-Faster processor ensures that functions are fast, including saving pictures to memory, reviewing items in memory, looking & listening to music and pictures. Many other menufacturers have problems here, including MOTOROLA
-Trend-setting. Not many Americans use these phones -- UNIQUE.
-Phone received good radiation rating, better than most other manufacturers
CONS:
-I upgraded to K790a. This phone is cheaper and has improved features
-Like most SonyEricssons, volume is too low, including external speaker.
-Like it's predecessors, Bluetooth errors can cause the phone to freeze up, which can only be fixed by removing the battery
-After time spent in pocket (lint, etc), camara lense cover may begin to stick.
-I would consider reception the worst in its class. This has been addressed in newer SonyEricssons.
-No EDGE or UMTS, only GPRS...so lower data speeds
-Only browses websites designed for mobile devices

Summary: everyone else loves it but...
Comment: well, I love the look and originality of the phone. Nobody else has one like it, but well, I don't know about Cingular, but T-mobile makes it harder than I thought it would be to take advantage of the phone. You must have T-mobile internet to get anything extra, and other than that it's basic features are not as accessible as a t-mobile specific phone. I do like it's shortcut programability , but i am dissapointed in it's use as an mp3 player. I didn't know it required a special jack for it's headphones, I wish I could use any headphone set I wanted and not just the ones it came with. Anyways your freinds will love it, for those type of people.

Summary: Why aren't there more all-in-one devices!?!
Comment: I love the phone for having a decent camera and a good mp3 player. It has good sound quality and the earphones are better than ipod earphones. But I do have issues with the phone after a yr.
1. It seems impossible to take apart to get the dust out from behind the screen.
2. The rubber button on the toggle fell off.
3. The phone can take a looooong time to process, esp when taking a picture.
4. There's no flash, but the light is good at blinding the ppl you're taking pics of.
5. You can't charge and wear the ear piece at the same time.
6. The earphone cables hang really awkwardly, making you look un-cool. Also the cable seems really flimsy and the rubber casing has worn off at a couple parts.
7.When charging through the usb cord, it can only charge up to 85%.
8. In Walkman mode, they should let you listen to the radio too.
9. Since it doesn't have both US bands, there are many places I don't get reception.
10. SIM card is hard to pull out once you stick it in the phone.
11. The games suck.
12. The shuffle on the mp3 player seems to keep playing the same songs over and over again.
