 pretty good phone January 21, 2008
I have enjoyed this phone since getting. Music capabilities are pretty good for someone like me who is technologically challenged. One drawback for me was some of the pre-loaded games are identified as not compatible for down loading, go figure?!?!. The salesperson in the ATT store says give it a few weeks and it will be compatible. Sound quality is good, my husband always has me repeat things when were in the same room but he seems to hear me fine when we're on the phone.
 Excellent technology built with inferior materials January 12, 2008

Pros:
MP3 Player with great sound with and without earbuds, comparable to standalone mps players I own
Bluetooth built in
Internet is fast
2 Mega-Pixel camera with excellent quality photos and videos
Fitness application which counts steps, calories, and records progress
High Resolution screen
Camera protected in slider
Lots of Lights giving a cool futuristic look
Slick look in general
Shake and shuffle mode makes listening to your tunes easy and fun
Memory card allows up to 4 gb of songs
Video upload capablities
Long talk time of 9 hours
Great sound quality, the person on the other end of the phone sounds almost there
Cons:
I got mine last week and the 4 and 6 are cracked in half and the 7 is falling off also with little wear. The keys are made up of very thin plastic and crack if hit wrong; went to the AT&T store to find the store model also has cracked keys.
The keys not only break easily with minor usage but are very crammed and you will find yourself punching in more numbers then desired
The screen also isn't very well protected and very exposed which will most likely lead to future damage
The whole body and frame is made of plastic and feels cheap and flimsy
Memory card has to be a special one for sony phones only and are alot more pricey than the storage disk for competitor phones
No flash on camera
Bottom Line
If you aren't a perfectionist, texter, or cellphone gamer and are looking for a cheap phone with incredible technology and mp3 playback and don't mind if the phone is cracked up this is the phone for you. If you are one of the previously mentioned look to the new lg shine cu720 slider phone offering almost all of the same functions in a stainless steel body and keys. It may be more expensive but it is worth it. It was not in sony's best interest to produce such a top of the line phone from a technological stand point and then skimp on the materials, they should of charged a little more to make a more durable, less delicate phone.

Great phone but AT&T screwed up January 8, 2008

The phone was great. It was slim and stylish and easy to use. The features were good also. Some features include a pedometer (and some fitness applications) FM radio and walkman music player. You need to get a memory stick micro (M2) to store more stuff because the phone only has 12MB and most are used up by the phone when you get it. Overall a great phone including the camera but reason for the 4 stars is because AT&T screwed up by changing and removing many great features. MP3 ringtones were limited to 30 sec. by AT&T and other great features were removed by AT&T also. If you want all the original features from Sony Ericsson you would need to debrand it.

I would have rated this review higher since the phone meets all my expectations but..... all models except for the white phone come without a memory chip. I had to purchase a 4gig separately.
