MP3 Player, Phone, Web and Camera...
By Kingsboro ClipperVerified Reviewer from Brooklyn, NY on 2/12/2008
Pros:
Durable, Great MP3 player, Lightweight, Long Battery Life, Neat Features
Cons:
Buttons too small, Difficult Buttons and Controls, Weak Signal
Best Uses:
MP3/WEB
Describe Yourself:
Business Professional, Gearhead, Parent, Practical
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

LIKES: Great MP3 Player with expandable memory (to 8GB) as big as the iPhone. Faster than my old phone on the Web. Easier to text too. Battery life very good. Good selection of games. Nice big screen, even the orange on black external LCD is easy to read. Lots of shortcuts and convenient features.

DISLIKES: The buttons overlap and are too small for my fingers. Sometimes I hit the wrong one. Seems that the signal has been weaker since the Cingular to AT&T switch too. REALLY the Camera could be better. 640x480 is not cutting it.

This phone is great! I have had no problems, that I couldn't figure out that were just simply things I did. I have dropped this phone and nothing has gone wrong. This phone is for personal use outside of work, and it is great to have on hand, easy to get a hold of and no worrying about flipping it open! The keys can be a little small and tough though for people who are not used to it. Really a good mp3 player as well when I want to listen to music on the go.

This phone is great! It's even more better when you buy a 2GB Memory card! You can change your theme,listen to music, has a radio, takes pictures, record a video, a really loud phone, has a fitness application, timer, stopwatch, and has bluetooth. If you hold on to the sony ericcson button symbol and shake the phone while your listnening to a song, it goes to a different song. I would definently recommend this to a friend!

Great Fun Phone!!!
By mamakyt from Fuquay Varina, NC on 12/6/2007

Bottom Line:

If you get the 2 gig card, this phone is great to take to workout. You can dowload your music to it and now I don't need to have both my ipod and phone with me. The FM tuner is a neat feature too, only one problem, you have to have the ear plugs to use it as they are the antenna. The key lock feature is easy to use, be sure to use it and turn off the backlighting, your battery will drain pretty quickly if you don't and you'll call people you didn't mean to.

I just got this prouct and I upgraded one of our lines. i happended that i upgraeded a line that the phone was stolen and the line was suspended...i got a new phone because i did not like my old phone and i thought that i could change it. I had the razer(pink) my razer worked just fine...there was nothing wrong with my ohine so i took out the sim card otu to put ut in my new phone and it did not work....we were luck tohave another sim card in the car with this all happened while we were in the car going to block buster...so we swiched the sim cards and it worked. so what i am trying to say is that my razer phone had a cingular sim card and the new sim card was a new at&t sim card. so cingular sim card does not work in the new AT&T phones.... well if you are going to get this new phone. i would recommend it if you are a new costomer if you are not then you should nake shure that every thing works before you leave the store...=]

Got this phone as an upgrade through ATT

I researched this phone for several days before upgrading through AT&T (Cingular). I was able to TRY it with a simulator at [...]. I love the features along with the high contrast screen. Card choices are minimal with the M2...Sony or SanDisk with current searches being a little higher priced than other media. Speaker volume for music/ring tones is very loud for such a small device. Nice small ear buds included that work well when riding motorcycle with full face helmet. Music mutes when a call is received and resumes when you end call. FM radio requires use of ear buds, but once operating I was able to remove connection and speaker was activated. Texting is pretty easy even with the small keypad. Phone volume is wonderful...almost too good (some ambient noise). My ONLY negative comment would be my service area with AT&T...it's not the best. Camera and Video are better than average.Graphics on screen are amazing! Photos taken with my digital camera, cropped to 240x320 and saved as half quality jpg are fantastic for Caller Id's. So far I?ve been very happy with this phone. My wife and kids are jealous and want one like it now.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love that it has a 2mp camera on it. The pictures just have such a better quality compared to the w300i. I use the music player (both mps and fm radio)all the time and it so user friendly. I love that it comes with everything you need in the box. I've also had the sync... and it was cool, took nice pics also, but in was no comparison to the sony w580i. The media player on the sync was difficult to set up.

best phone I've ever had
By Sus from Mid Missouri on 10/3/2007
Pros:
Durable, Good Value, High Quality
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I've had this phone a few weeks now and I love it. I had to change the settings so it would end the call when I slid the door shut, but other than that, it's been perfect. I haven't shut the phone off in about a week and I still have more than half the battery left. The walkman feature is cool, but you have to have the speakers or earbuds plugged in to hear is, so I don't know if I'll ever use it. I was originally going to get the KRZR phone because I wanted something small, but when I saw this, I realized it is about the same size and has a much longer battery life.

Nice music phone
By pikabudVerified Reviewer from Lexington, KY on 9/24/2007
Pros:
Good Value
Cons:
No 3g
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a nice music phone. It has a great user interface and the slider is cool. My only complaints are that it uses the EDGE network and not the super fast 3G so downloading songs or surfing the web is slower than I'd like and it takes Sony's proprietary Memory Stick Micro instead of the more compatible and less expensive MicroSD card. The V3XX and SYNC are better values, but this phone looks cooler.
