We like:
Good headphones; excellent screen and speakers; impressive range of features
We don't like:
Sluggish music player; fiddly controls; poor camera
CNET UK judgement:
This phone has good sound quality, impressive smartphone features and a great screen, but the whole experience is marred by sluggish music controls and a terrible camera. It certainly won't tempt fans of Sony Ericsson's excellent Walkman music phones to switch over to Nokia
