Review:
How can this phone get a rating anywhere near its opposition. It has beautfiul looks and a fair size memory with a nice screen. However this is a mobile phone/camera/internet browser at heart. Its rubbish as a camera only 2MB, try taking a shot in a dimly luit room then it really shows it colours. As a phone one of the main things is audio quality of call, this is decidedly dodgy. Internet browsing, hang on is this a 3G phone???
Bottom line is the LG Viewty and Nokia N95 kicks it butt on almost everything apart from its looks, screen and memory. however this is a phone, none of those matter that much. Oh and it costs a fortune to buy in comparson.
If not for the apple officianados this phone would be rated at 7 at best 5 at worst...
Oh and yes I have used one, a friends and I was glad to give it back... Bottom line is overrated mediocre technology dressed up in a gorgeous package...

Sony Ericsson W980 Walkman
Feature-packed and decent-sounding, but it won't replace a dedicated MP3 player
Nokia 6650
We love the 6650's GPS features, but we wish Nokia had paid more attention to its styling
Sony Ericsson Z750i
The design won't appeal to everyone, but the Z750i offers a good range of features for the price
