I had a Z5 as well, a fantastic little phone, great build quility and looked superb. Bought it as soon as it was available in the UK and used it until I bought my K700.
For it's day the features were pretty impressive, the ability to record a memo to the phone and use it to play a specific message to specific callers was a fun and useful little feature. And as said above, the 3D jog dial was very good.
IMO it somehow had a much better quality feel to it than the Z7.

It was a bit strange using the Jog-Dial at first, but it is surprising how quickly one becomes adept at using it in place of more conventional menu keys. I am rather pleased that SE have retained this feature in the Pxxx series, I sometimes wish they would implement it in some of their other mobiles.

What was the maximum size of memory stick that the MZ5 could support?

I always preferred Sony designs to those of Ericsson; they seemed more elegant and futuristic to me.

Peeta I'm afraid i do not really see the similarities.
My first mobile was a Sony too and it servd me loyally for about a year. I have missed the convenience of the scroll wheel on every phone I've had since... I think that was one of Sony's best assets

I agree, as I said earlier it's a shame that the Jog-Dial hasn't been included in more SE mobiles. I'd agree about it being one of the best things about Sony mobile phones.

Following on from what Peeta said earlier, which SE phone demonstrates the most 'Sonyness', to coin a phrase?

Ok. I guess we covered pretty much all Sony models J5, J6, Z5 and Z7...

@scotty nice thread, wish u and all your guests here all the best. Have fun with it! Reg. Ps: the only thing i remember of a sony fony, that j6 or 7 had only 3 options: silent, tone or vibra, no tone or vibra at the same time, cos the vibra function was made with the earpiece by 'vibrating', no 'real vibra motor' was in the fone.

It's a shame you never got the chance to buy a Z7, I agree with you regarding its looks. I remember seeing it for the first time in a magazine and I just knew that I had to have it, I think that that is perhaps its best feature, it just looked fantastic.
