Overall

A well designed, and feature packed phone.

The size is just about perfect. Not too small in that it won't get lost or broken. But also not too big in that it's not a pain or hassle to carry around.

The design is simple and functional. Buttons are about the right size and it isn't susceptible to fading/scratching like other phones are. It looks very simple and sleek.

Menu's are, typical of SonyEricsson, very easy to use and navigate. Definitely something I prefer to any Nokia phones I've seen.

There are a host of other features, such as Radio, Sony Walkman, Bluetooth, along with headphones and memory card included. Playing music and synchronizing contacts is easy in Windows, or even on a Mac or Linux. It's even able to hook up via bluetooth to other devices such as the touch screen mp3 player Samsung YP-P2.

The battery life is generally very good. I can talk on it for hours and it will still be over 50% full. The only downside is the sub-par camera and proprietary headphone/usb connection (it just means another cable cluttering up my desk).

On the whole though, a simple, reasonably cheap phone, which excluding web use and camera use, is almost perfect. Much like the W810i, but slimmer and better.
