Well, if your with cingular then this is the best phone for the price no doubt. Although if your going to buy this phone for the $150 msrp then you might want to reconsider.
right now i have a samsung x427m (free from cingular) and hate it. I'll soon be trading in my x472m for a sony z500. this phone has about everything you would need and a tad more.
the only things that people complain about this phone are that
1. Its too big, but i dont think so.
2. The battery dosnt last, true, but i dont think charging everyother day is bad. and thats if you play games/take pics/record vids.
3. No blue tooth, not realy needed but not bad to have.

glad to be of help, i just got my z500a yesterday at cingular and absolutly love this phone. I have found no downsides with this phone and cant put it down.
The guy at cingular even said that I would have a better signal with my old phone (samsung x427m), bull! I'm getting about a bar more in my signal in this phone and i can actualy understand the people with just 1 or 2 bars. with my previous phone i could barly understand people with a full signal.
once again, glad to help and i hope you like your phone as much as i do.

Im sorry but this phone was the worst phone ive ever seen. Let me give u all the cons to this phone. When i first got it i found it kinda big but that i can deal with. after a weeks use my faceplate just started to fall off. So i had to buy a new one. Then a defect in the screen appeared and then with out warning the screen would turn blue. Also the battery didnt last me a full day when i was using the phone constantly (entering #'s in phone book and playing games) i treated this phone very well too. It was spotless and was not dropped once. if ur ok financially i would opt for the razr. a few extra dollars sure makes a drastic difference.

you do know this phone has a 1 year warrenty right? just tell sony about it and get a new/repared one. You seem to have a defected phone since mine has had no problems and is much better than my last phone (samsung x427m).
