Summary: See the phone in the store before you order
Comment: I ordered this phone for my self and my wife from Amazon. (Purple and Pink) I am using it for 4 month and frankly I have not had any problem with that. But I just hate its shape and design. My wife also never used it. Its too bulky and I didn't realized it thtough its picture. Their colors are also not as charming as it looks like. I suggest you to see the phone in the store before you order.

Summary: A BIG Disappointment!
Comment: Where can I start...? I ordered this phone because I already have a Sony Ericsson and I have been very happy with that one for 3 years. I stayed with this brand so I would not have to order new car chargers and additional chargers for work. I like the big, colorful screen, but that's about all I can say. The battery life is HORRIBLE!!! During my breaks I like to play Tetris on my phone. I sometimes play for about an hour a day. I am on the phone all day, and between my game playing and calls, I never fall below about 25% of battery life left at the end of the day. The first day I used this phone, I made a few calls and played Tetris for about 15 minutes, and the battery was at 50%! By the early afternoon, after several more calls, the battery was dead and needed to be charged so I could finish my day of calls. I fully recharged it that night, and had the same problem the next day. No Tetris, just my usual calls, and dead by early afternoon. The phone occasionally would lock up and need to be restarted, (which takes a LONG time on this phone), and was overall a bust! I am returning this phone and sticking back with my old Sony Ericsson Z525a.

Summary: Battery Life OK
Comment: I've had this phone for about 3 weeks and so far I'm getting great battery life, I haven't really kept track, maybe 5 days or more. I don't have blue tooth and don't make a ton of calls, rarely turn the phone off. I live in the Philadelphia suburbs, not sure what kind of network coverage is around here, I do get the H on the top left.
It's funny, one of the things the salesman said about this phone when I got it was that it had good battery life.
The sound quality is excellent, I like this phone a lot but haven't had time to investigate every feature the way some reviewers have. The display on the front is cool, and hard to see in bright light as others have mentioned.
I like the way it displays the listing of calls, outgoing, incoming and missed.

Summary: Needs De-Branding to be Great!
Comment: I picked up this phone (2 actually) for $50 each after rebates. Call quality if excellent. Has Walkman-like media player for music and video and podcasts, audio books. Megabass for headsets, but no stereo speakers on unit (there are lots of external speakers though). When on 3G you can surf and talk at the same time.
First, make sure you get a unlimited data plan. There is one for $15/mo. (at this time). You can tether with this phone on that plan. Download the PC software from SE's website to sync the phone to your Outlook or other contact list. Can sync with bluetooth or data usb cable (proprietary)
Then decide if you really want TV or XM radio on the phone. The TV is clips few of which are updated daily unless you subscribe, a few music videos etc. XM is a $9.95 subscription. MLB Game Day is also an subscription. If you don't want these things (and will never buy anything from the ATT Media Mall), then spend $16 or so, and debrand the phone and uncover a gem.
Here's a partial list of what you can gain:
1. GPS - I get accuracy to 10 meters, works best in car with charger attached, can drain battery in 2 hours or less. Must use 2007 NavTec Google Map app in firmware, newer Google won't work as well. Locator Services can be left active and minimized so that Google will immediately know where you are. But do it connected to a charger! Also AmAze navigator (the version for the C702, I think) will work on the phone giving you turn by turn navigation for free. (don't look at the phone while driving it's too small)
2. TrackId is now free rather than a subscription. I don't know why anyone would actually pay for this monthly. While I am sometimes curious as to what I'm hearing, I'm not paying $5/mo to find out one or two songs. TrackId works fine on music from classical to country to rap/hiphop, the most abstract techno/disco strangeness you can come up with, and on generic firmware it's free.
3. Blogging from camera as a 'send to blog' (Blogspot.com) uses email account and data plan.
4. RSS Desktop - has as many features as an iPhone's. Auto scroll, configurable updates. easy to add RSS, when browsing the RSS symbol will pop up and using the left soft key, you can add it to the listing. Updates anywhere from every hour to once a week.
5. Podcasts (video and audio) I believe that it may be configurable by the rss feeds rather than the PC Suite sync method, at least my phone seems to update them. PC Suite method will load podcasts daily, and sync with your phone. Needs data cable (about $6 from other Amazon sellers).
6. Exchange ActiveSync without any shortcomings (as have been reported elsewhere), specific Exchange sync.
7. SyncML for everything else. There are reports of it working with MyLife/iLife.
8. Email push client - works with ANY pop or imap server, and can filter out unwanted domains, etc from the 'push'-- you can select domains to accept from. No applications to view attachments, but you could bluetooth or use cable to transfer to a PC/laptop.
9. Network Sharing function, phone can be part of office network via USB or Bluetooth
10. Choice between 'GSM & 3G' vs 'GSM' only is now unblocked, fixing the battery life issues. Even in combined mode, if the phone isn't updating it will drop down to GSM/Edge when not actually using the web. You can also search networks and simply not chose the 3G ATT network too. You'll need SE's webite and tools to reconfigure internet services if you debrand.
11. You won't accidentally open a Internet browser when pressing the central button, it's a Message Center button now. Other buttons and shortcuts are also rearranged in a more logical fashion, camera button changes to MediaNet browser and.
There's OperaMini for this phone, Yahoo Go!, AmAze, etc.
FM radio needs antennae phone jack to work, but if you want to use your standard stereo headsets you'll need it too, to connect with. Stereo Bluetooth profiles, Bluetooth remote controls, etc.
Voice controls only for handsfree units, multiple commands per contact, multiple phone numbers per contacts, multiple addresses per contact. Just like Outlook or any other full blown contact manager. Contacts can have own ringtone and photo.
I don't like that it's hard to find appointments and you have to view each day to see a list, rather than a consolidated list of the appointments in order. Tasks as nice, multiple alarm timers.
Generally its a very nice phone, battery issues aside. Better, IMHO, unbranded. (Oh, and it's SE Java8 platform, so no MS Mobile here.)
Customer Rating:
Summary: LOW BATTERY!!!
Comment: LOW BATTERY! This is the almost daily alert from this phone. I use this phone for little other than the phone service; no internet, no games, a few pics now and again. If I forget to charge it EVERY night the battery will die on me the next day! I bought this phone because I was so pleased with the SE Z500, what a let-down, so much for brand loyalty. I will never by a phone new to the market again! I will wait for someone else to learn the hard lessons. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE, stay away unless you plan to carry around a charger or extra battery.
