Sony CMD Z1 - User Reviews

  • Great phone! Have one brand new in box plastic still on never used!

  • It was PERFECT for the necessity of this era. I still have it in its box and leather cover. But it was so expensive too.

  • My first phone. Had a small red button to record 30 seconds of any talk, a great substitute for GPS, as in when someone told you directions and you could save them. It was the best back then.

  • the best phone ever

  • I still have mine(in pieces though), couldn't force myself to throw it out. Such a great phone !

  • I just buy a Sony CMD Z1-Whoa..so great..I'd used alot of modern Phone: BlackBerry Storm,Nokia E.Series,Xperia X1 sony...But.. Now I really want to buy a Sony CMD Z1..new... Why Sony stopped making this phone...this one is the best phone(design around the world) E.mail: [email protected]

  • This was one of the best. Why cannot sony ericsson make a similar handset today? Updated but futuristic

  • One of the best, I'm still using mine since 96. Same battery. I still cant find anything better in handling. But it is a bit heavy, you know when you are wearing it and I do it every day.

  • I have a sony CMD z1-plus which is the more improved version. It is slimer and with a li-ion battery. I have many accessories. I also would like to make a hands free for it as I have a spare plug but I need to play with the connections a bit :) I still use it today. It is much like my vhf/uhf alinco dj-v5 handheld that is why I like it so!

  • I love this phone -it is the best most convenient and easy to read and operate. Looking for a replacement battery..Any good contacts? [email protected]

  • Well, this was one of the best phones ever made. Stylish, durable... I miss it so much!

  • I am still using my old trustable quality CMD-Z1 until today, with the orginal battery still. Although it lacks the modern features of today handphones, but Z1 is still the most outstanding handphone in the market with a flip open style "mic stick" that no other handphone comes near or even clone it styling! I still have the English Manual to whom would like to get a copy of it with a small norminal charge. And, I am looking for a handsfree kit if it is still available.

  • Does anyone know from where could I buy a CMD-Z1?

  • Has anyone got a user manual for the CMD z1 please? Mine will receive texts, but if I try to send one it says 'no reach' and refuses to send.
