I just want to correct myself: The phone has a "real" camera button! :)
After a couple of weeks with it I have to say it's a really nice little device!

Seems to be the perfect phone besides the lack of a "real" camera button. Just imagine trying to take pictures from the kayak, maybe with gloves on, by gently pressing the lcd.. Impossible i would say. Sad.

This phone humbles me with its overarching greatness, with the effect that I question my personal beliefs.
If you do not buy this, you are a fool

If you don't want to miss any calls while bathing, this is the phone for you !

Great article and great to see phones become more durable. I personally use an iLoc Phone case to keep my phone extra safe when outdoors. It's great protection from rain and I use it everytime I go to the beach. I usually pick up a pack of ten of these cases but you can get a couple for just a dollar. I get them at ww.iLocStore.com

This is the most screwed up, convoluted OS I have ever encountered, in any iteration.

Good screen, works well even if wet. Good size and sound. Needs to be charged basically every day, which a bit annoying. It is not suited as "hiking outdoor phone" for this reason. To make it water resistant, the power and audio connectors are covered by tight plugs. The daily charging resulted in the plug breaking due to wear and tear. Two back covers are included, black and white. The white one is too slippery. Wifi reception is not very good. The screen is too small for internet browsing. The camera is ok in daylight but kind of disappointing in general. Video recording is good though. The camera button responded sluggish after 6 months. After 10 months it died after a quick swim in the pool. SonyEricsson says "exposed to water, warranty does not apply". Disappointed, will buy other brands in the future.
