Well whoever buys this phone I must say its worthwile its pact with loads of features but I must warn you of 2 defects which Sony must rectify. The first being is the fixed memory which cannot be upgraded and the second you have to be really careful with the cell as excessive use will have its effect on the joystick. Seriously guys its been 6 months and the joystick is already giving so much problem. So just think b4 buying. If your careful enough then its an ideal phone but if your doing it for rough or excessive use dont go for it. Oh the reception is quite good. I must say Sony did a good job with this phone as it has captured the market and the key feature is alot of people are going for it over Nokias as its is has a quite reassonable price for its features which compairing to Nokia you might got the vallue for your price. Overall I must rate this phone as an excellent media phone. The clarity of the camera is awesome with all superb frames. Sony has definately proven itself. I know many might say you cant compare it to Nokia. But I would definately say it has matched up with Nokia phones and is ideal fro middle class and upper class consumers.
