Good, but could be better

Pros
Sleek design, good Walkman software

Cons
Camera uncovered and fiddly to clean when gets dirty, keypad lock sensitive - can unlock when sitting in your pocket resulting in long unwanted internet sessions or accidental Walkman activation, refusal to play large video files even when correct video size.

Conclusion
A powerful but average phone from SE. The Walkman aspect is excellent however, does not achieve media greatness due to it's reluctance to play certain video files of large sizes. I've had some difficulties using a 4GB Memory Stick Pro with the phone resulting in the phone telling me it doesn't have enough memory when trying to install software, I suspect that it finds it hard to utilize any extra memory over 1GB. A decent large screen means Internet browsing isn't a squinting chore. As a phone and Walkman, it achieves it's aims in it's entirety, however, the multi-media aspects of the phone (photo capturing, video, video playback, software, etc.) are limited. In conclusion, it does exactly what it says on the tin, just expect it to struggle a bit with anything else.

Verdict
3 (out of 5)

Other supported multimedia format

Pros
it has been tested that this phone also has real 8 audio/video support.

Cons
real videos must be 176x144 pixel in order to play properly..
its a shame it does not take full advantage of the qvga screen when playing real videos and does not support real 9 or above videos.

Conclusion
this is a very good phone for someone who likes music on the go..
have very good battery life management unlike nokia phones..
too bad it doesnt have ogg vorbis audio support..

Verdict
4 (out of 5)
