 Non complicated Small & Light easy to use Phone

| | See all mdt1972's reviews (1)

If your not looking for a phone with hundreds of features this is the phone for you!

Its a step up from the T250i Which makes it perfect. They have replaced the infa-red with Bluetooth making file tranfer easy and giving you the ability to use a headset when driving. It now has MP3 for more personal ringtones.
There is a 1.3 mega pixels camera which is all you need if you only send picture messages also if you only print or order small photos (6x4approx). I have bluetoothed pictures to my PC and then printed them and they are alright.
The only negative for me is the charging port being in the top.

 Nice design - feels strong - poor in call quality!!!

Pro's: Nicely designed, feels solid and heavy so should stand up to a few knocks and drops, nice click to all the buttons, cheap enough at the money.

Con's: In call quality speaker is muffled and i struggle to understand people regardless if i call a landline or mobile!!! Horrible pre-built in ring tones, text typing can be fiddly and drawn out! Slow to send multiple text or MMS and even to call numbers from the phonebook.

For £60 it's an ok phone, but you might be unhappy about the in call quality!?!?

 Worst Sony Ericsson I have ever owned

| | See all rosie2008's reviews (1)

If I could give this phone 0 stars I would.

Worst Sony Ericsson I have ever owned. I purchased the handset from this site in December 2008. Since then I have had a raft of problems with it.

Some callers sound like they are sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Sound is very poor. Alarm function no longer working and screen has now frozen after only 6 months limited use.

Do NOT purchase this phone.
