After a month, the ear speaker quality was severely decreased. After two months, the ringing speaker no longer worked. I sent the phone in to be repaired. It came back with the speaker issues corrected, but downloaded applications no longer worked. A month later, the screen blacked out whenever the phone slid open. A search on the internet shows this phone is no longer being sold, and that these problems are very common for that shaky model. So perhaps, if Sony Ericsson put a little quality into their phones rather than trying to push junk ahead of the competition in the hopes that by the time it broke you would be ready to buy the next model, they might see some profits.
