Good phone

This phone is very easy to use. Everything is easily accessed and the keypad is very easy to text with. The phones features are simply excellent. The PSP feature is excellent and the games are very good too but they are quite dear. The 5 megapixel camera is very good. The phones battery life is quite good. You would easily get a day out of it with heavy use. I have never had a problem with the phone. It is a good all round phone

I got this phone as a christmas present and i chargered it for 24 hrs when i got it but yet it wont last 7 hrs without going dead ? And also the screen goes grey for no reason on it sometimes and i cant see a thing.. The eatuers are very good and i like how its big enough so you know its on you but not too big.

great phone with one massive flaw
Date:31 January, 2012
By Martin
from Galway
the phone has great features, sound, apps, graphics, easy to use, stylish, playstation control pad, very nice camera, everything is really good about this phone except the battery, the battery is terrible, lasts barely a day even when I dont use any apps or games, needs to be charged everyday no matter what the use is, and when using any app for say longer than 10 min the battery heats up like an oven , maybe it was just mine but this is a terrible flaw that kills the phone for me

Amazing phone for a decent price

This phone is great has everything you would want on a phone and more. The slide out game pad and is very nice. The screen is 4inch 720p which helps with great graphics on games. The battery life on this phone is way better than any other android phone I have come across for me the longest the battery lasted was 2 days. The camera is very nice as well. The only downside to this phone is that when I try downloading a game the connection interupts but I never see my wi-fi go off. Maybe its just me and no one else will come across this problem. I would diffently recommend this phone to any who love gaming, android apps and Sony Ericsson's cool features

Unreal! Good Battery Life too. If you get advanced task killer and don't play games, lasts 1 and a half days =D you should all root t aswell (just don't brick it) and get stuff like mobilism to get apps free =D

terible quality !!

well when i got this phone first i was very excited to get using it !! at first the phone worked perfectly but then it all went down hill !! the more i slid the controller out it got awful loose and there is a terrible wobble in the phone now !! the screen is very delicate aswel so if your a person that drops your phone stay well away from this one , the shoulder buttons are already loose and i've barely used them !! although the features are good over all a very poorly built phone !! not impressed >:(

Well I got this phone as a present. When i saw it first i thought it was very bulckey but as u get used of it its just like a normal phone. I love the PlayStation controller and it's games except if you want to download a game have to pay for it with a credit card and not out of your credit. The sound of of this thing is AMAZING !! The 8GB card comes in handy for you music lovers . All in all this is an EXCELLENT phone a must buy!!!

If you like to play games this is the best phone in the market. It has some brilliant games already in the phone. Quite have though but it worth it. Like the apps too.

This is a very good phone. I would recommend this phone to anyone. It also came with a very loud portable speaker. It does everything you expect it to do. The only thing is a few of the preloaded games doesn't work as it isn't fully loaded in the 8gb sd card. Apart from that the phone is brilliant!

i got this phone for christmas and it is the best phone i ever got! There were a few games on the phone when i turned it on first and i played them for a while and they were brilliant. i really like this phone, the playstation is very handy! the size is a bit big and it is very heavy compared to a normal phone
the only down side is when i put my own memory card into it and i lost all my games and i had to download them all again!
overall it is a good phone

I got this phone for christmas and its really great so far.Sometimes when you play continuosly,the screen hangs for a bit.Great sound,size and gaming capabilities.Battery life decreases 25% faster when you are playing rather than just surfing the web or calling.Hope you foun this useful.

Good phone, easy to use. Update of the software on purchase is recommended as phone was sluggish when first purchased, this was all solved with the software update. Gaming function is good, but only secondry to the quality of the phone itself.

Brilliant phone, High spec, fair price

I find this phone brillinat, very clear screen, large aswell fpr games and photos, very good sound when talking on it, very fast, responsive touch screen. Battery life very good, if playing games it does go down faster but the fact that you get a free phone charger that works off your car power-point means you can charge it wherever you are! Free games come on it are v v good, FIFA 10, Bruce Lee etc... very good! Definately a brilliant all round phone, looks great also!
