Could do better!



A great looking and lightweight phone (88g on the mini). And considering it's actually a smartphone all the better - gps, camera, video, wifi, 3g etc etc. and the android operating system. The screen is clear and bright and the functions are slick.

But now for the downsides, and there are many!

This phone is not setup to do anything well? I find it frustrating and some of the icons very confusing, all I want to do is make a call!! but you have to go through so many hoops by the time you get to the end you think..brilliant! I've made it to the end, now how did I do that? It's very much trial and error with many of the menu's! Not figured out how to "save a contact" yet - you know simple stuff.

Using the internet is okay but you can only go back? not forward? and while navigating round the small screen you can easily catch some text and "off you" go to somewhere you never wanted to go! and I've only got small fingers. Youtube doesn't work dispite it being an android phone? still waiting on a call back from the makers on that?

WARNING - GET AN UNLIMITED INTERNET tariff with this phone, as I have yet to find a way to turn it off!??!?

The camera is poor even though stated 5mp and there is no editing software included, the music player is basic and not very easy to find your favourite album. The included pc compatible is useless too? I intended to re-load all my stuff from a previous sony ericsson phone but sony have decided it's no longer "Compatible" and I basically must start from scratch! You no longer store your personal phone book on your pc but must setup an online account.rubbish.



This phone is not user friendly. But looks nice!
