This is a great phone and if your already a pay as you go customer you can have the phone for 200 pounds. Absolute bargain.

That's an expensive door stop.

Its one of the best phones on the market, let me guess your an iPhone fan.

Brun

When You could get it free on contract, why on earth do people pay this sort of money?

Jamescsti

Who knew jack was an iPhone fan?
Doesn't seem an amazing deal though

Dedrater

You never get a free phone on any contract, you get a phone on credit.

It is always better to buy the phone outright from which ever angle you look at it.

actually for my simonly to phone upgrade it seemed like id make a small saving getting the phone on a contract
that may have just been vodafone giving me a crap deal mind

but yup you always pay for the phone even if its "free", payments spread over the term of the contract basically etc

Not difficult is it.

Fools.

I get 500 any time / any network mins and un-limited txt for £20 a month. What would that cost me on PAYG?

dpb

its 2/5ths of the price of an iphone

Brun

Just had a look - on vodafone my £20 would run out after 80 minutes an no txts. Am I missing sommat?

JackClark

And 1/5th as useful.

Jamescsti

It's 2/5ths of the phone too!

Maybe........

Brun

The nearest one there to what I have is £15.50 a month so the phone would have to be under £55 to work out cheaper for me????

I'd stop buying phones off the market and go to a proper phone shop

On a serious note I know specs aren't everything, but on paper it has a poor screen, a single core processor and not much RAM. A desire HD is better and that is about a year older. £200 is about what I'd expect to pay.

dpb

Poor screen , hardly !

JackClark

It's a bit 2010.

Jaybird-UK

Unlike some manufacturers they have at least built a phone that isn't a design clone of Apple's iPhone

dpb

Which is why i bought it , ray in fact . And security issues aside im happy considering its 2/5ths the price

Luan Pra bang

Perhaps thats why they managed to build something so much better than the iphone then, I was sent one of each by T-mobile and I sent the iCrap back to them.

Saint AAI

That's why I said on paper. I've never seen the screen, but looking at the specs it's nothing special. If it had more RAM I'd be tempted to buy one.

With a Qualcomm MSM8255 and only 512mB RAM, it's never going to be one of the best on the market. Looks like Sony were aiming for the middle of the range when this was released. It's definitely out of date by today's standards and it's price reflects that.

dpb

i bet youve always fancied a panny viera , right ?

Simon C

Sold mine for £86. Would have been a good phone except for the sony engine over the top of android. The other bug bear was it wouldn't mesh to my mac without me forking out for 3rd party software.

These threads make me laugh. All of SN Team Apple bar one is here present and correct making all the ususal comments. Do you lot really feel that insecure about your choice of phone that you jkust HAVE to comment on every phone thread regarding how superior the iPhone is? It's a complete oxymoron!
