This was a compromise handset for me. I wanted an SP but couldn't afford one. However I got a cracking deal on the M and I'm 99% happy with it. I never have a problem with the phone's functions, the battery lasts for a week between charges (I have to charge my work iPhone 5S at least four times in the same period and they both get the same sort of use). The Walkman app is brilliant.

The only real downside is the 5MP camera (the front facing VGA is a joke but I don't tend to use that anyway). In clear daylight conditions it is more than acceptable but anything less it starts to struggle with focus and tends to shadow darker objects, blending them together. I may look to see if I can fit the 8MP camera from my Xperia Ray as that was superb in all conditions.

Those of you who have slated call quality. Have you ever considered it may be your network provider at fault and not the phone itself?
