*When you talk more than 15 minutes the phone gets heated up.

* Some times the external speakers goes off and when in coming call or out going call you wont hear anything. if you play any music you will get you can't play this file. you have to switch off and on the phone then it works perfect.

* software hanged twice.

The Main problem i faced is.
The display had gone with in 2 months.

Pros

Cons

display
software hanging
external speakers going off
battery backup

I bought this phone for $109 USD unlocked and have owned it for 9 months. I like its features and the music player is great, but the fact that it uses the Memory Pro Duo(MM2) cards is a drawback(they're expensive unlike MicroSD's). The only problem I have with them is that their design is a bit poor. When I bought it the top half of the slider was not perfectly aligned with the bottom so it sticks out a hair, but its not that big of a deal. The battery cover is VERY hard to open as is the memory card slot cover(I've bent it attempting to open it). I dislike the proprietary jack that Sony Ericcson uses because after 9 months of use, it is hard to get a connection with the USB cable meaning taking it out and putting it back in about 5+ times before i get a connection. This also occurs with the headphones where if walking and you accidentally hit the headphone connector to the phone it "disconnects" even though the jack is still connected. However, none of my keys have cracked, but maybe it is because I text only about 200 times a month.

In all, for $109 unlocked (w/o contract) this has been a great phone for the price.

Pros

Nice Speakers
Nice Headphone
Word Prediction
Hard to scratch

Cons

Proprietary Jack wears out
Memory Pro Duo(MM2) cards
Hard to open Battery/memory card covers.
