Not happy

Posted: Oct 10, 2015, 3:01 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

Yes, its an very old phone, but it doesn't mean that it needs to lag on every possible move. Camera button option is very nice, but the battery life is so disappointing - it barely lasts for half day with average usage till i need to charge it and 12 hours if i dont use it

Phone owned for more than a year

I am completely satisfied with this phone and i have decided to use it for few years,
because i am pretty used to it now. I love to use Wifi and Play games but battery
won't stand anymore.
Btw i bought it because i love Sony Products and i can compromise, no big deal :)

Phone owned for more than a year

I am using it for almost two years now and will own it till it stops working but apart frombattery, the phone performs great. My main reason to buy this phone was to play powerful games but it can't play gta vice city but it plays gta san andreas perfectly. I hope it stays with me another year or two. Love walkman love simplicity and its beauty :-)
