as we all know that it is not a smart phone of present generation, the screen size is a bit small. Camera clarity is very good but only in day when compared to night. No flash. Music through headphones is better when compared to nokia. Voice control function is useless. Over all its a 3G mobile and has many Gud features with a nice look.

I've had this phone for 4 years! I love it and even though it's getting a tad scratched and scruffy, I just don't see the point in getting a new one. It does everything I need it to do and a whole lot of other stuff. It's reliable, very user friendly, great battery life even after so long, and very good as a personal organiser. Well worth buying if you can still find one.

perfect phone in all spheres but just as with most sony ericsson phones, the charging jack easily gets loose and thus fails to accomodate charger and the handsfree. Also it tends to heat up with the least browsing.

It was real pleasure owning this lovely 3G phone a couple of years ago. I particularly liked its classy look (especially the warm silver version), compact size, and perfect weight that all in all made it feel really great to hold. I believe that its premium finish from attractive contrasting materials made it look and feel much more expensive than it actually was - a bargain no less. The only drawbacks I could think of at the time were that it lacked HSDPA (3.5G), and that its screen remained completely blank during standby such that you couldn't tell at a glance whether you had missed a call or received a text without needing to activate the screen first.

I bought the phone and was using for some months, subsequently I started experiencing the hanging problem. Suddently the phone will hang and restarting the phone was the only option. The problem got agrivated and to resolve everytime I had to swithch off and remove the battery and restart. One day the phone completly went dead, I had to take it to the sony service center. They took almost 6 months to fix the problem and even after 3 try they could not resolve it. Finally the declared that the problem with phone board and I had to go for chaging new board which is 80% of the phone cost. I am really unhappy that the issue could not be resolved and had to replace it with some good Nokia phone like 5800 or 5130 But otherwise it has lot of options which will not be useful when u got this problem in your hand set.

Nice, simple, and STABLE. I'm still using this for more than a year... , and as mentioned by others, it hangs but I discovered that it is because of the files I've stored in it. So, I reformatted the m2 card, and It's not hanging now. Best phone I've ever had.

I bought this phone last october and still i keep my phone shine and clean because it is so cool . although here in india most of the networks providers doesnt support 3G service ,i bought this phone because it has a vibrant display that covers you at first sight . The net connectivity is also good while browsing in phone .

I am very fond of this phone. I'm on my fourth now - upgrading and realising the new phone was not as good and getting another etc. And note that number four is exactly like the others. Solid, reliable and everything works sooo efficiently. I haven't had a dud one. I tried a k800i and acknowledge the better camera and high-res screen. But it's a lot chunkier. This phone is a little beauty in the hand. The photos I get from the k530i in normal daylight are excellent. Honestly. I was surprised. I don't use the music functions, but bluetooth works excellently as does the 3G video calling. A highly recommended phone, in my view.

Thought this was a decent phone at first, but have had it for less than six months and already it is starting to break (switching itself off every few hours). Also the battery has become really weak. Would have hoped for a longer shelf life, especially as it is a relatively basic phone.
