We like:
Convenient size; unique design; crams in a decent camera and music player, among other features
We don't like:
Screen is too shiny; small number keys; SD card slot is inconveniently located under the battery
CNET UK judgement:
It could have been all style and no substance, but the Sony Ericsson Jalou turns out to be a remarkably versatile and convenient piece of technology, packing loads of features into a tiny package
