Good: Screen Resolution, Android

Bad: Timescape UI, Plastic, Sony suck ass, It raped my children.

Comment: If you flash Cyanogenmod 7 on it, it becomes fairly decent phone. Leave stock timescape on it and it rapes you and your family slowly and painfuly.

Good: Bravia Screen, Android 2.3, Flash Player, 8MP camera w/ flash

Bad: 3D sweep panorama is SOOOO HARD!, Plastic casing, Battery

Comment: After a week of using it, I realized that...
1. The screen is very sharp and clear
2. Android 2.3 is excellent
3. Can play online games w/ Flash 11
4. Having a LED flash is always good with 8MP camera
5. Camera feature 3D sweep panorama is SOOOO HARD to do. I have already tried it several times but always put a error message.
6. They should at least put a metal casing at the back.
7. Battery life is only 1 day under heavy use.

Overall, it's a very good phone to have! :D

Good: Android 2.3, compact, good reception, good wifi speed, fairly stylish, quick performance, decent battery life.

Bad: The camera is only average, stock keypad mediocre (download an alternative)

Comment: This is a well designed phone which fits comfortably in the pocket. It offers very good reception and call quality, at last a smart phone that can do basic duties well. Texting is poor with standard keypad as it won't do apostrophies but download an alternative from the market (there's several, my favourite being smart keyboard pro) and its pretty easy to type a message. Music player works well and spotify app is brilliant on here. The speaker on phone is a little bass light and tinny but much better than HTC desire. Perfectly adequate for watching videos and quiet music. For a phone the speaker is good. Comes with android 2.3 which works very quickly and reliably. The GPS is very useful and sony's wisepilot app is brilliant. It finds everything in the area.
Battery life ranges from 1.5-3 days depending on usage. Thats considerably better than HTC desire I had before. The only negative is the camera. Its supposed to be really good but I find it lacking in detail. There is numerous threads about over compression in this camera and also the flagship arc and I can see this in the photos. The desire captured more detail! I've had it replaced as I thought it was faulty but alas no. The replacement is identical. Its not awful and will give an acceptable snap shot, the colours are better than HTCs, but it isn't even close to a compact camera.

Good: Intuative, great camera and video

Bad: nothing bad

Comment: After years of searching I have found a phone that has everything I need.

Easy to use, brilliant screen, great camera and truely staggering video. Playback via HDMI to my 40" lcd is one of the most incredible things ever! Video is vastly better than my toshiba camcorder and canon stills camera making both entirely redundant.

Browsing is fast and apps and widgets all work seemlessly. I love the way short cuts can be dragged to any of the five home screens and then simply deleted if not required.

After trying five phones with Orange (thanks Orange!) I have found the holy grail of phones!
