The sony ericsson z530ii is an alright phone it has done well for for me and i have coped with it for 1 year. Pretty good memory (although i got a memory card free which is what you need.) It isnt the newest phone so you can't say it isnt like the W580i because it was made way before that. The camera isnt so great can be blurry at times and the sound from the videos that you record are not great. It has all the basic features, but not the greatest design.
overall decent unstylish phone with bad quality
i have owned this phone for more than a year now. in the beginning it was working perfectly but eventually i started having problems with hearing while im on the phone. now i can hardly use this phone because of that problem. im not sure if its jus for me. but i've heard that in general sony ericsson has a similar problem. i mean the basic handsets.. so i'd recommend that you think twice before going for this one. cheers !
All i can say that SonyEricsson has covered all the basic features in this gadget.. but i am still suprized by small UBC display (128x160).............
quite okay however......i have heared heared that in sony ericsson software problem is the major issue...
i hope in future Sony will come up with special student feature enabled mobiles,,
