On a fine Sunday evening(Actually the last Sunday), I bought a SE Spiro for my wife as she liked the looks and also wanted a good music player. My god, we came to know about the mistake within an hour.
We got the error "Momory not available. Delete Messages." whenever we tried to send a message or compose one and did not allow me to compose/reply. Man. there were only 2 messages in the inbox and it was asking to delete them? A restart solves the issue temporarily.
We found out that behind a nice looking face it has an old body and soul. Outdated hardware and outdated OS. It has 5 MB of internal memory! Processor is slow as well.
By the next evening, I found that the battery gets drained in half a day as by that time I had fully recharged the battery 3 times. I went to the retailer and had little bit of fight as they said that the phone needs a software update and I needed to go to the Sony Ericsson’s service center. I was able to convince them to exchange the phone for another one of different make/model, which he did the next day. But it was like, as if he knew that I would come back with lots of complains. In fact, in the complain letter to Sony Ericsson, he wrote that the device gets restarted. By the way, it never got restarted for me although I read reviews saying so.:)(it was a very acceptable reason, I believe.)
I’m giving it 1 star for’Value for money’ because no matter how less you spent in buying it(I spent 4.3K INR), it is waste of money if it costs more than a basic music player. You anyway cannot use this as a phone.
