    Good Points: The look of the phone is quite sexy -- the display, the colours and the analog clock on the front. This phone will get noticed.


    Bad Points: The reception on the phone is generally poor -- particularly when the backlight on the display is illuminated. The load time for the phonebook is a bit long.


    General comments: I've tried the Sony Ericsson Z200 on two separate networks: Fido (Ottawa, Canada) and MTCTouch (Beirut, Lebanon). In Beirut, the reception is good. But, in Beirut, the reception is good in *elevators*. In Ottawa, there is a buzzing sound when the backlight is on. And even when the backlight is off, it is not uncommon for the reception to become choppy. Why can't they make a sexy phone with good reception? (note: both networks are GSM)

    There are other minor usability issues. The phonebook takes a little bit long to load, so searching for a number takes a while. Most of the numbers I call are on speed-dial so this isn't that irritating.

    The one thing I find a little bit weird is the analog clock. There are two displays for the front analog clock, and digital clock. The digital clock view also includes other information. You can switch between the two with two keys on the exterior of the phone. Switching between the two also illuminates the front backlight. However, there is no way to illuminate the front backlight without switching views. So, if you want to show off the analog clock, you have a bit of a problem. Leave it as a digital view, and then switch to analog to illuminate it. Or leave it as analog, and do a double-switch. Kind of silly.

    Also, it's not possible to switch views when you have a missed call. I'm not sure why this is, it just is.

    The phone is also a bit big.

    You can only store one colour image on the phone to set as the background wallpaper. So, you have to transfer the image, test it, delete it, transfer another image, etc.... until you find an image you like.

    The Sony Ericsson Z200 is a good phone but had some problems with the actual phone. (See Bad Points).

    Since my old mobile phone somehow found itself in the washing machine (Samsung A800) i was looking for another phone as stylish as my old one. This Sony Ericsson Z200 is the phone that saved me. It is GREAT!! The colour screen beats most nokias and you can change the phone to suit your mood. With other great features that weren't on the A800 like saving email addresses and wallpapers it is a very stylish phone. It is great value for money as it costs less than the A800 and is an all around great ...

    This Sony Ericsson Z200 is a mobile phone targeted for youngsters who love to stand out of the crowd. It is an eye-catcher. If don't need camera, MMS, Bluetooth, email client, Java but you want everybody to ask you to take a look at your mobile, then this is the one. The sound is very loud and clear, the 4096 color screen is top for it's resolution (beats every Nokia), SMS messages are easy to write once you get used to the keyboard. You have also an IR port with which you can transfer pics and ...

    I've had good (T630) and bad (Z600) to say about the current batch of phones from Sony! My first impression when I opened the box on the Sony Ericsson Z200 mobile phone was WOW! The phone looks gorgeous and will definately be a winner with the style conscious users. But at what cost?
    The flip style Tri-band handset has removeable front covers that can be changed to suit your mood. Mine came with a choice of dark blue or silver, but is also offered with a choice of red and white! The cover feat ...
