I have this phone for 1 month ...Z28 -- 20/05/08

I have this phone for 1 month now. Great phone! The claimed talktime is for 3G so OBVIOUSLY less than Sony's claims which is GSM. It just oooze quality; from the slider to the weight and to the talk quality (especially the speakerphone). I've had numerous PDA phone's including O2 Atom Life to HTC (Dopod) and SE K800i and the crap Moto V3. The sound quality and speakerphone beats it all. I've tested speakerphone next to shower with water running, the person on other end can hear me clearly! The display is awesome and easier to read outdoors than K800i.

I am not fan of BT headset so can't comment.

The desktop charger is very elegant with a pulsating white base light to indicate when you charge and when full.

Metal contacting metal feel and noise is so let you know you are using precision instrument. Not some mass produced plastic phone.

Overall, not a phone for anyone with Obessive Compulsive Disorder = So GLOSSY So prone to SCRATCHES. FINGERPRINTS EVERYWHERE!

The good: Quality workmanship. Great call quality. Understated elegance (note D&G V3i) Lots of accessories included (one would expect so)

The bad: Expensive. Fingerprint magnet. Buttons WAY TOO SMALL. Really hard to text! Top row (1,2,3) is cramped against silver edge. Not good seals around screen and buttons=dust under glass screen. Camera is prone to scratch if you put it on table etc. Have to carry cloth to put phone on! Wish it was hidden like previous 8000s series phones.
