I have bought this model on december @ INR 6800. Sound & Reception: Sound could be much more better and louder.
Style & Design: Display is good, display size is ok, it is very light and compact. But the key pad is not so easy to operate. The camera does not have flash and quality is ok. I use it to check emails on the go and connect to my laptop. Till now, no issues. Battery lasts for 3-4 days, and getting charged very quickly. It comes with twitter, facebook and youtube which netizen find too useful. I have installed Google Maps, and find it extremely useful. Previously I had Nokia N70 Music Edition, it was too big and fatty compared to this model.
One great problem with this phone is, only one port is provided to connect your headphone and charger. Sony Ericsson engineers need to think modern and need not be too conservative. It has a 4GB external memory and can be extended upto 8GB, pretty good. It is available in two colours silver with Black and Maroon. Silver with Black looks nice. Be aware, most mobile operators don’t have proper instructions to download and set GPRS settings for this model as it is pretty new. Take your own risk.
This is the only model comes with 3G and with those features @ this rate. Best value for money.
My score for this model is 9 out of 10.
