Great phone, great design, great UI. Probably one of the best 850Mhz UMTS capable handsets out there. Solid, durable (8 months of heavy use, dropped several times) and easy to use. The only gripes I have are signal strength (WinMo), alarm clock (can't operate if phone is off), and charging (no on screen charger info if off). This phone will really stand the test of time, its only flaws were of price and delays, now 9 months after its release, its here and working, well enough to hold me over for more months to go (I switch phones often).





Design
Stainless Steel
High Res Screen
Panel Interface
1500Mah Battery
Camera actually has a flash (take that HTC!)
Keypad is beautiful
Has a North American model with EU 3G 850/1900/2100 and Quadband GSM
Weak signal due to WinMO
Camera could have been better at that price point
Alarm Clock not operational if phone off

Good hardware, sucky OS...

Hardware wise, it's a great phone. Solid build, I've been kicking it around for a few months now and no issues. I love the hi-res screen, it's so sharp. It might be a touch on the small side for some people. The keyboard, I've heard some complains about it, but after some use, I think it is great (at least for a dinky keyboard like this). It's way faster and more accurate than the iPhone that I also have here. Battery life is good, more than acceptable, as long as you're not heavy on the Wi-Fi. It's amazing they could pack so much into such a small package compared to only a couple of years ago.


Software? OMG, this is the first WinMo phone I have ever owned. It will also be my last. Guaranteed. I never knew how bad WinMo could be. It truly, truly cripples what could've been a stellar phone. Obviously it isn't just me, as nearly all the WinMo phone manufacturers slap their own interface on it to try and hide WinMo as much as possible. The Xperial Panels themselves are a good idea, and to be honest, once I've configured it to my liking, the SE panel is almost perfect. I can get almost everything done without having to leave the panel. (I still have to drop down to WinMo to SMS, which ... sucks). There are a few times which things are slightly laggy, but nothing that annoys me too much. Your usage pattern may make it more or less annoying, depends on how often you swap panels.





Great hardware.
Very sharp screen, almost the best out there.
Lots of nice features.
Windows Mobile.
Windows Mobile.
Lack of apps compared to iPhone.
