Rating  - Display blanks out
Most people have covered the pros and cons of this phone in their reviews, I just wanted to add that this is the third time I've had to replace this exact phone and model due to the screen blanking out. It goes all white and while the phone still functions, you cannot see anything happening on the screen so no texting and you can't make a call unless you have the person's number memorized (and who does since the advent of the contacts list!)
Would not recommend this phone at all. Needless to say I'm getting a different brand this time.
Rating  - Best basic phone I have ever had
Stumbled here on the email Amazon sent about phones etc.
Anyway I was surprised to find that they still offer this phone, what with all the changes they pretend to make.
Having said that its clear to me from the comments, you either get a lemon or or a phone built like a tank. I got a tank. A tank that has all rights to die and doesn't.
Where I am currently, in a jungle forest on a mountain in the Caribbean, everything dies including people occasionally. Somehow through it all this phone journey's on. If you could see it you would not touch it. All markings are worn off. Dirt and debris including moisture fill every nook and cranny even under the screens. I know things are living in there. When they made me take the battery out in the airport one time they stepped back. How this thing continues to keep going I have no clue. It has been dropped on construction sites, sat through thunder storms and 100% humidity on a daily basis. We won't even talk about the salt residue such that I can't even read the screen half the time. Yet it keeps on going.
You have probably figured out by now I simply need a phone that makes and receives calls and continues to charge. This one does it.
One bonus and a most important one here is I can manually select, under settings and connectivity, which carrier I want to use when several are available. What? Different islands have different carriers with different signal strengths. If you don't pay attention, and most people don't, a stronger signal takes over your phone and you end up with a $200 phone call. Emergency boat phone or British telecom will nick you for $3.99 a minute.
So in conclusion if you want a phone to make and receive calls, decent battery life, something you can drop and sit on, this is the phone for you. Better still it comes with a Tarzan ring tone!!!!!
Rating - Don't waste your time or money
I have earned the right to give this phone 1 star, being that I have bought 2 in the past 3 years. As of Thursday night the 2nd one died and I don't even want to get it fixed. I am convinced that this model (and maybe brand)is not of good quality. The screen went out on my first phone. My 2nd phone did the same thing so I had it repaired (for free because I only had it for 3 months). Then 7 months later the phone would shut off with no notice with a charged battery. That went on for 3 months until the other night when the screen lit up but it was BLANK!!!!! I will never buy another Sony Ericsson AGAIN. Right now I have my eye on the LG VU.
