Anthony, South WALES , “Music and entertainment lover”

Score 10.0/10

+ camera is great , can take photo then zoom in to make a great close up pick.Easy to use once you get the hang of the navkeys and looks Fab 2. also has built in 4Gig memory no need to rush out and buy mem-card.

- sound out of the built in speakers is very poor for a walkman phone. (good quality when using headphones)very tiny but this is the only bad point.

Score 10.0/10

+ The built in GPS is great, especially the software Tracker that comes with it - it helps me with my jogging routine, and i've imported my route into google earth and I can see where i've been on the map - it's brilliant!!
It's great that there's a radio in it as well, and the walkman feature is very good.

- The keypad letters are a tad to close to each other, but it's ok.

Score 8.0/10

+ I am a big Sony fan so was drawn to this unit anyhow. I liked the Find and Go SAT NAV feature and have used it on a number of occasions. Better than my actual Sat Nav; good instructions; up-to-date traffic reports and Speed camera locations (gonna cost me per month to have it though). Good clear screen and easy to use.

- Keypad (with my big thumbs) can be a little awkward at times.
