Actually a great phone ... but now: - (((

So ... I can not understand the particular concern expressed by a user criticism in terms of voice quality.
Previously I had always more expensive phones - and have to say: this is by far the best voice quality.
In particular, I compared times with high-priced Modelln of friends ... and: this phone has been often better from the clarity of voice transmission.
To date this phone was an absolute stroke of luck, because I am primarily on phone calls (and long!) And SMS interested.
And I've had phone talk time of between 7-8 hours before the device had to be recharged. And I find that tremendously. Not only in this price range.
Camera and so: ok that is bad or below standard .... but that has me eh`nicht interested because I wanted to have a nice and functional mobile phone.
Buttons are easy to operate. The menu is concise.
Oh yes, can phone in this one finally digitally read the battery level, ie: you can read exactly how much still is "juice" in the battery exactly as a percentage - and must not be based on the additional display bar, the so often astray leads.

In summary: Buy, if it's just making phone calls geht- and you do not want to do without a nice mobile phone, which hold out long.

Edit from 01.08.2009:

I can be brief. Essence was said earlier. A very chic mobile phone - reduced to the essentials.
And because it's really good. Very long battery life, good service, clear sound while making calls, etc. Now I use the phone every day and within the home zone variant of my provider often hours a day at home. Has always been satisfied. Had the phone bought in October last year. Now, unfortunately, began in recent weeks a few antics: if you turned off the cell phone (it was mostly for days), it did not work again immediately - but you mussste only remove the battery once, so it came back on, which meant that you have to set the time again etc.

Well, since then I have it yesterday spotted once, it is no longer - and I "no longer to" mean.
Of course, is anything but pleasant.
Send phone now back to amazon and hope for a speedy repair or replacement phone.
I give a chance this otherwise great cell phone yet - and I am quite shocked by this total failure.

Edit 22.10.2009: Have now got my new phone ...... and after only 3 weeks, the camera has stopped working. Will hot: As soon as I will light the camera, "freezing" the cell phone .... a means exactly: you can not make Fotro or you can not even go back to the menu, or even make up the cell phone and you have ultimately the battery take out in order to identify the mobile phone and then only hinzukriegen restart the mobile phone to ever use it again can. After restarting, you must of course completely the date un re-enter the time.
I was initially very enthusiastic about this hgandy (see above) - but the 2 handsets of this model within one year the spirit of abandon (1.Handy) or after a few weeks massive restrictions in the operation have (2.Handy), suggests out that this phone is not meant for long-term use.
I can therefore no longer recommended and am very disappointed.
Today I sent it back to the vendor and hope that I get back there soon repaired or maybe even get my money back.

Should I get my money back, I'm going to buy does not guarantee this phone again.
Too bad Sony - but so is not that.
