I got this phone 2 month back at 8200/- I have used many phones till now but this is the first time I was not able to find a niggling fault with phone. I upgraded memory to 1 GB , purchased new Head phone HPM 64 and external speakers. The cost of 1 GB card was 1200 (original Sony), head phone 400 and 400 for speakers, The sound quality became at par with walkman series phone after upgradation of earphone,
Battery backup is really good, I frequent travel Lucknow- delhi and this is the firat phone which lasts same day round trip with lot of music and radio. Radio reception is not very good but average.
Look wise this phone is very average today in times of sleek models. Camera is superb but the high resolution takes some time to capture and makes photos blurred if phone moves even slightly, I prefer to stick to normal more and pictures are excellent and even good for print outs
Overall a excellent phone with only drawback with looks and slight poor radio reception. I would definately recommend it at its present price and advise for earphone upgrade to HPM 64 or HPM 70 model.
Please note that u can always upgrade the phone to W800i model after the warrenty expires and its a easy software upgrade easily available in internet with detailed "how to do it"
PS my phone has fallen few times and thus stood the drop break test very well.
