I went from a Nokia 6230 to this Sony, and am very impressed with the call quality, Walkman music player, camera, and video playback.This phone would be perfect for me if it could be charged while using the headset (which my Nokia could do). I'm just not crazy about the wide connector used by both the charger and the headset.Battery life is also less than the Nokia when using it to listen to audio or to view video. The screen is bigger and brighter, which certainly would draw more power, but I hoped that a much newer phone would be a little more miserly with power consumption.Overall, I'm very glad I bought it. It's just not perfect yet.
