I have had this phone for the last 3 and a half years. Overall it is a very good quality phone- well made and good looking. It's first top feature is a camera that can take amazing pics- both macro as well as long distance and panoramic shots. The picture quality and sharpness is amazing. I gave up the idea of buying a compact and has used my SE 810i. But night shots aren't that good, but that is a problem for all mobile phone cameras. Next, the sound quality of the music player is extremely good-it is clear and sharp and you can hear a lot of instruments which are playing even faintly in the background. Also, the bass sounds also come out very well. The built in speaker volume is low, but music lovers generally prefer head phones and the hpm-64 that comes with the phone is superb. Don't change it for another model.
Since I am in my early 50s I dont play games on the phone, and so I never had problems with its joystick. Battery life was initially 3 days with normal use. After 3 and a half years it has dropped to 2. It has a good browser though it stands no comparison with the ones in the new smart phones.
Overall a well designed and well made phone. I feel lucky that I bought it!!
