Despite being a Smart phone, this little beauty is not only good looking but also has appreciable multimedia features. This sleek model measures 106 x 49 x 13 mm and weighs only 99g. You can carry it comfortably in your pocket without producing any bulge.

The TFT touchscreen is 2.4 inches and the keypad carries the conventional design of Sony Ericsson phones, with standard Back and Cancel keys and 5-way navigation pad. Hot keys for Messages and Notes are also provided.  The USB/Earphone/Charger slot is situated on the left hand side. A missed call/new messages indicator LED is also provided which a very useful feature SE has incorporated in this phone. Now you don’t need to unlock the phone and look towards the screen every now and then.

The phone uses Symbian OS which fully utilizes the 208 MHz ARM9 CPU and 128MB of RAM. While this is not exactly sufficient for power users, it is more than sufficient for an average user. The main screen has 11 main menu buttons which are totally customizable. You can freely scribble on the ‘Notes’ app, which comes in handy when you have to hurriedly take notes.

A Blue tooth headset accompanies the phone, which is only good for calls and not so much for movies and music. For Internet surfing, Opera 8 browser is provided. WiFi functionality is impressive and the phone also has a blackberry push-mail option. RSS feeds, QuickOffice completes the feature set. The music quality is satisfactory, but the 5MP camera leaves something to be desired. The battery too, will drain frequently if you use many features of the phone.

Overall, while this Smart phone is feature rich, underpowered processor and average battery performance prevents it from becoming the ‘easily recommendable’ one.
