Of the telephone enormously, like the look people are superb (I tested it in my entourage and it except makes to the unaminity a friend who did not like the green of the keyboard).

The slide is of very good quality (not plays), the completion iréprochable (Sony-Ericsson ), the screen of big size thus readable and pleasant with use. I leave place with the photographs:

The mode reader MP3 when has did not change it others modéles. The quality of the High speaker is better than not badly of another Sony ericsson. The sound does not saturate and is pleasant with listening.

The camera is of good quality. The MOD of catch of considering exchange, one should not any more put the telephone in landscape to take the photograph. Damage but it is not génant. On the other hand it misses the autofocus and a flash to make it perfect.

I fell in love with this telephone as of his oficielle presentation. After there is a rumour as what it would not be marketed on our premises, therefore large disappointment, and beginning of this week I realized that he was it. This telephone has good point enormously, it misses a autofocus and a flash to be perfect. But for a telephone with 249€ you étes on not to have been stolen. Thus I éspére that my test will have satisfied you and given desire for running to buy a ^^. of it
