HI.
Iam very happy with this product, work fine & look good.Exelente producto
hasta el momento funciona muy bien.

For people who do a lot of texting, this is not the phone 4 you. I bought this phone from my local phone provider & after 5 months of proper use, the number keys 1 2 9 on my keypad cracked in the middle. When i went 2 get the keys fixed, it was termed a "company default" & that "it happens".
Also the prts with chrome paint on it, the paint starts flaking slowly after about a month of use..
Please think twice when buying, especially if needed 4 TEXTING. If not texting .. then this might be a good choice.

I love Sony Ericson & this phone is the second one. It has all functions what I need plus it has own mood - every few days it change pictures

Guys this is a good buy. I did a ton of research before purchasing an unlocked phone, & 4 the price this was one of the better choices. Sony has a design that works well, it's simple & intuitive. Yes the buttons crack, but they don't break.

Also, I have a data plan with it, & yes the phone can stream Youtube videos (albeit slow at times). I have also managed 2 use my Gmail & Opera Mini apps successfully, don't miss out on this phone.

great price, great service & timely shipping, who could ask 4 more on top of great product quality.
