Sony CMD Z5 - User Reviews

  • Hi, does anybody knows whether it has rom or not? Mine doesnt show arabic characters I want to know if there is any way to fix it???

  • Great little phone, excellent 2nd Choice phone, still use mine now in April 17

  • Still working like a charm in 2019. Battery does die every 2 years, but not a problem. Sound quality is still very good, keyboard works without any problems (cleaned it once, after disassembly).

  • I still use my Z5, had it from new in Jan 2001, I use Zenfone for modern stuff, but for personal calls it is still the Z5, just love the jog dial, even younger people think it is such a cool phone, seems to be a race today as who can make the most bland slab phone.

  • oh, that jog

  • plz give one cdmz5 sony i want this phone a long time

  • There is still somewhere one? Must be found back battery is not more in top condition but working fine. Nice phone and best option to record calls?

  • I recently caught one on eBay with charger dock and box. very nice condition. this phone is close to perfect, from the design to number pad and size and accessibility . it was one the bests of his time. I feel pity all the phones are rectangular and flat now.

  • Got two of these Gorgeous Phones, which where the top phone in its day.. still with spare batteries and desktop charger... works perfect and although now old, the Fishing game is Excellent, and still good today I would love to get it as a app to play on my new sony phone..

  • agree lol

  • I love xperia cmd z5. I need this phone back to our world.

  • i want to buy back again, my dream phone that time

  • Please bring this phone back SONY

  • the best ever i wish i could have another today

  • such a Beautifull Memories Of This Phone (CMD Z5)--- amazing Best Phone In The World I love U CMD Z5

  • This was the best of the best handset I ever used... This mobile had actually got answering machine in it...

  • anybody have this model plz let me know. i want to buy. [email protected] Please

  • Love the Sony cmd 5 to bits , falling apart but still have mine , the clay pigeon came on it is main reason am trying to get a replacement

  • Had it when it first came out and adored the phone. Sold it to a friend when I upgraded and regretted it ever since. Have just bought one on Ebay as my current work phone is a waste of time and as I don't receive emails on it I actually just need a phone that works well. Something the Z5 did very well.

  • I agree - with the advance in technology they should be able to have a decent full colour screen, receive pictures and even keep an internet facility (it was too poor to use on original, but current should now be some use). Also significant - the original metallic silver they used was brilliant - I replaced the case once and the paint was gone in 3 months. They could even make the case metal. I think it was originally well over £200 $300, but I got a £150 cashback - £50 after 6 months, another £100 after 18. When I applied for 18m the workers had never heard of it! I did get it, but it just shows how an upfront offer sells something, but people forget to claim! Ha Ha.

  • Brilliant PHONE just (2013) replaced with a Galaxy S3 LTE which despite all the wonderful things it can do, is a far inferior phone: poor speaker and poor microphone (Make it difficult for me and my caller to hear each other) poor reception - in my house, poor installed ringtones, poor vibration. I am forever missing calls - something I VERY rarely did having the Z5 on vibrate only. BATTERIES were available until recently - probably still are, but not originals.

  • I love sony z5

  • After 12 years in my possession and it still works perfect!!! I wish i could find a spare battery so that it will last me for another 12 years. They don't make mobiles like that anymore. Smartphones are good but they "die" young.

  • it was a hero in his time baby!

  • i wonder what kinda graphics the clay shooting had hahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • OOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!!! wat a phone ......... I want to replace my IPhone 5s with this .......

  • There Are Not Availible Any Stor in This Handset.I Want to This Handset.Syor

  • lol i got this mob nw .i wanna know what was the price of this mob when it first launch in 2000

  • Try 0000 also.

  • Try 1234

  • i have a CMD Z5. when I insert sim card it display security code. can you help me? thankk

  • i love this phone,i use it 11 years ago nice phone

  • Best part was the inbuilt Answering Machine ...

  • This is the best phone I have ever had and would like to use it again and forever after checking out from Palm, Windows Mobile, RIM, Iphone. I wonder if there's any brand new in the market (ignore the fake China made one).??????????????????

  • Truly the best phone I've ever had. Regret selling it. Wish Sony would make a similar model, same style and design. Keep the keypad, keep the antenna and jogwheel. Sharpen the screen, ignore the internet and if you fancy add colour, but keep the phone as it is. Big shame we are moving away from this style of phone. Maybe allow it to be a 3G hotspot for laptops and tablets, but keep the style.

  • the best

  • Got this phone way backkkkk,,, great phone during those days,,nice 1 sony...

  • I have one...needs batt

  • Hey Guy, Sony CMD Z5 is a amaizing mobile on that era... i was using the phone in 2001 to 2002 and i lost the phone... i'm still searching for the same phone in the market old phone or new phone i dont mind... its one stylish phone sony ever had... requesting to relaunched the phone... anybody wants to sell Sony CMD Z5 please contact me [email protected]. Thanks, cheers.

  • Amazing phone. Replaced my Nokia with this one on 2001 and used it for a year before another Nokia replaced ths one.

  • i love this vintage gizmo gadgetsss..... if u dont use it give it to me.....

  • do you want it? its yours i dont use it anyway

  • I had bought a Z5 back in 2001 and used it till 2006. I can safely say that this is the best phone I have ever used. The design and quality is unsurpassed. I retired it because the keys became hard to press (because of use). I still have it. I have had many other phones after the Z5, but the Z5 is the only old one which is still with me.

  • i'm so desparately looking forward to buy this phone... is anyone selling this....if yes then please...

  • u can find this phone on e bay uk i just buyd 01 from there

  • check ebay - there is currently one for sale

  • were i can buy baterry???

  • What do you need to know about? I don't have a manual but did have one (worked on the browser/email client)

  • BTW The 'WAP' browser can also browse html 3 over http - so the real internet on a tiny screen. The email client is pop3 and smtp Setting up browser and email is not the simplest but isn't impossible Flip will answer/hang up calls (as you might expect)

  • check out batterikungen.com :) ive bought like several from them

  • There are always z5 to be sold in ebay. I bought 4 of them the last years. One for me and one for my wife. The others are used as sparepart spenders. My problem is to find new batteries. I can find same shops wich offer batteries for the z5 with capacities varying from 600mAh to 2300mAh. But which ones are ok. Can anybody advise me? WilliWichtel(at)arcor.de

  • I'm loocking fore one!! I don't find on ebay... Someone know where cani find it?

  • Just to let all sony z5 fans know i have had mine as from yesterday i baught it from ebay uk for less than 20.00 pounds and love it i was the one who sent the info for the flashing aeriels and the fascilal from the web site called m99 i wanted to buy back this phone for years and had it when it first came out back in 99 when the nokia 8210 came out but sold it to buy the nikia 8210 which i aslo still have and love both phones i baught this so i can use a flashing aerial and it still looks gorgeous and beautiful i was luck as it was sold as new

  • if you type in fascila for sony z5 you will get a search engine come up look for the link to m99 or call 08712884977 and they have all the accessories you will ever need for any tyoe of phone even the sony z5 = uncluding the flashing aerials and fascilals as well as user manulas for all mobile phones i have orderd fascial brand new housing - and handfree as well as flashing aeriel for the sony z5 just last night - also im about to order a new user manual for the same phone..?

  • My cell phone Sony CMD-Z5 is not functioning and requests security code, I have forgatten it. It would be fin to let me know how to get it fixed. Thank you.

  • This was the best phone I ever had, I wish I could buy it again.

  • pleeeeeeee enter security code

  • I have this phone now in 2007. i had it before but it was all scratched and ugly,but this is the best phone ever.

  • i had this phone from december 2000 til l december 2002 i found a shop who sells it and i will buy it, because i had never been so happy with a cellphone like this i have had 2 other sony-ericsson phones and 1 nokia, and as far as i can remember this cmd z5 was the best i had.

  • I had this phone couple years ago and I regret for selling it! This is the best phone ever! I couldn't find spare parts, so I sold him. Even now it stays the best phone for me!

  • just got this phone 2 days ago as second hand unit. It's a simple phone in today's standards but its style is just captivating! a classic phone for my collection!

  • I used it for over a year and I liked it. A real workoholic. The only problem I had with this phone was that it's battery lasted for a day or two only. And there are no batteries available in stores here. But it is over 6 years old too- what do you expect.

  • I like this phone a lot. I've been using it for almost 7 years now!!! (got it in December 2000) Still works like new. The only thing that bothers me is that sometimes the voice in the speaker is not too good and the person you are talking to can hear an echo of his voice. But you can still get the battery! I'm really sorry sony doesn't make cell phones anymore... sony phones were always something special.

  • omg! one of the best phones i've ever had! i bought it in saudi arabia in 2000. i t was great and it had all the basic functions..... and it also came at a very high price back then. but its worth it! haha memories.

  • I have a Sony Z5 since 2002 and i work very well. I just change batterie 3 times. Can anybody send me the manual for SONY Z5 english or french version. my mail id is as [email protected] Thanks in advance Robene

  • My first and best phone, ever!! Got it in 2000 and totally loved it.... Some loser stole it! Didnt buy another phone since... The jog dial... the games.... Awesome. Actually mine got run over by a car, and the jog dial didnt work right, but i never would have given that phone up. I was so thrilled I even added z5 to my email id! Huge fan :))

  • Sony cmd z5 is really a great phone. am discovering new things in it for some time now, but icant get the browser to work.can any one send me the steps involved in setting it up? my mailbox is [email protected]

  • This was the best phone I had. It was small, it was cute, it did everything I needed. I loved it. Some %@&* stole it from my pocket.

  • I have mine for five years and it stills working like when it was new. I wont buy anithing else before this one gets broken. This is the best and the most well invented phone i�ve ever seen till today. My brother bought a Nokia at the same time i bought mine. But till today he needed to by two more nokias cause they simply stopped working. And some of u say nokias are better than this? :S LMAO ....

  • Used it for about 5 years, after which the batteries life shortened. Pros: One of the smallest WAP phones for its time, fast navigation menu Cons: Antenna breaks off easily, no option to copy all contacts from phone to SIM card. For the manual check Sony Ericson website. Unlock code is 0000.

  • If you like to get comments like - that's a cool mobile you've got... This is the one for sure! If You like to send SMS (T9) it takes forever. The processor are five words behind your speed of writing messages which ends up in big frustration and waste of time. If it had Nokias speed of SMS I would love this phone twice as much. The battery last for two days (if you don't talk) With Battery improvements and fast SMS this phone is a 10 out of 10 with its simplicity and its basic "useful" funcions.

  • The phone is good ... I have it for a year now ... Sad enough after merging Sony Ericsson , you can NOT get the accessories specially the battery any more in Egypt even at the authorised dealers ... Terrible reputation for Sony ... Will never buy the Brand name " Sony" again ... After sales service is much more important than the product itself .

  • does someone nowe how much does this cost? plz tell me.

  • i love my z5.but i want it to have voice dialing and speed dial but it doesn't have . if it has please tell me how. thanks

  • i love my z5.but i want it to have voice dialing and speed dial but it doesn't have . if it has please tell me how. thanks

  • Used Z5 for 6 Months, very user friendly, very easy to work with. As a telecom employee, I think it had most of the practical aspects of a cellular such as quick modal changes, meeting, single beep, etc., quick launch of wap, T9. Yet its' thirst for consuming battery power was unbelieveble. Meanwhile changing battery with a higher capacity item can solve the problem. Nice one from Sony, though by todays' standards its screen colour will be considered as old.

  • I love my Z5 but two questions. How can I delay its answering machine for more rings? and why its battery charge decays so fast(only about 30 minutes talk)?

  • can i buy tis phone

  • simply the best

If u wanna good phone which u can use for atleast 1 year.I`ll advice u to go for Nokia. Sony phones are good in looks but they arent stable. My next phone is Nokia 8310.

  • I have got a Z5 myself but it has a sim lock and i have forgotten it so what do i do? can anyone help me please. email me on [email protected] and i will be very grateful.

  • Does anyone know where i can get the screensaver to download apart from the sony-europe/j5 site. That doesnt work for me. If anyone does or already has it could they possibly send it to my email address. Thanx . Jack

  • It is just great! Used to own Nokia and Ericsson - these guys are second place. As for the WAP it works fine. What you need is to spend 20 mins. with the manualn and you will never want to switch your phone to Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola or...

  • Cmd-Z5 I have got the sony 5 days now, and i�t's an exelent phone small light and a very good design. The menu is well made and the jogdail is easy to use, the screen is very clear. The outside of the phone is covered by a protection layer which makes very resistand to scraching . al in al a very good phone

  • it`s i beatifuly cmd z5 .

  • just bought phone and having a few problems with it already.when i take the phone out of my trouser pocket it sometimes get no signal and says 'searching' in an area i would normally get 2-3 bars of signal.if anyone has experienced this please email

  • I have problems with my Z5, serious problems with his software. If some people have some problem like mine send me a message please. Thanks.

  • I've had this phone for about 2 weeks and I've got to say I love it! It looks great and once you get used to the menu system it's pretty easy to use, although you need two hands at times. The only thing I don't like about this phone is the battery life, it's really not very good but saying that, if you turn off the back light the performance increases A LOT! I owned a nokia 3330 before my Z5. I'd choose my Z5 over the nokia, the only thing I miss is the voice dial but to be honest I never really used that.

  • There is a really bad echo for the person you're speaking to - they hear their own voice again very clearly. I think it's because the microphone is too close to the speaker. Rather than being at the bottom of the flip, it's at the bottom of the actual phone. Probably the shortest distance between microphone and speaker of all phones?

  • I think it is a great mobile phone. It is my fourth phone, two Nokia's, a Motorola, and now my Sony Z5. Other phones have a cheep looking case, whereas Sony Z5 has a almost metalic lookin case. Its inners are also great, in making it an altogether excellent phone.

  • i recently bought this fone, with its ace reviews i thought i mite as well by it sim free (�300) quite frankly this fone is rubbish, my 8210 and 8310 beats this fones hands down. please dont buy this fone u willl be totally let down.

  • dis fukin fone is hectic, its da best fone u can muda fukin get biatch. Muda fukerz!!!!

  • I have owned a Z5 for 6 months during which time I have had to return twice to be repaired. The sound quality is poor and the menu features cumbersome. Battery life is excellent and it does look good. I will probably switch back to Motorola

  • To be honest, I prefer the J5, it's got all the features [plus ringtone recording, if that's your bag] and is much cheaper. I owned a Z5 for a few days [eBay] but sold it again because for the money, there are better phones. This is a very good alternative to the usual Nokia/Ericsson/Motorolla stuff which everyone has but I still say buy a J5 and spend the difference on something more worthwhile.

  • this is the greatest phone i ever had

  • I used to think nothing could beat Nokia phones until I got the CMD Z5. By far the sexiest looking phone on the market, fantastic screen and very light. Compare the calculator and scheduler on the Sony with that on the Nokia 8000 series and you'll see how much thought has been put into it. The battery life is shit but I simply stick it on it's desk charger when I get in and ready to go the next day. The other area where this phone scores badly against Nokia's is the lack of easy to download ringtones but I can live with this. I've had Nokia's, Ericson's and Motorolas but I have to say this one tops them all. The MZ5 could have been a challenger but I think it's just too heavy. Anyway, I can't understand why some people are giving the Z5 a hard time. I just love it.

  • The manual is not to good with this phone, it does not give instructions for use of the WAP service. If any can enlighten me please email me...

  • plz send me info

  • anyone who knows how to find manual for cmd-z5 in pdf format please inform me. thanks

  • I would like to find a site on Internet from where I can download a Sony CMD Z5 user manual in English. Can you help me?

  • please let me know aboutanysites youcan get operator logos for the z5 becauseit is an excellent phone

  • Exellent !!

  • It's almost the perfect phone: Lightweight, solid, jog dial. But the battery-life is not too long, and the speaker is not really loud: Pre: Ringtones a-plenty: And there is a simple program that converts nokia ringtones

  • I've been using it for some time and anybody who tells you it sucks is defenetly wrong! Also, it's not ideal, it has some details missing, but it's all compensated with great look and no weight. Thigs I like the most: design, active flip, great screen with 4 shades of gray, answering machine, POP3 email, great schedule, great phonebook with 500 items space and icon for groups and different ring for every group, details... Thigs I don't like, but don't care too much: You have to read email on-line (no download or save option), battery doesn't last too much (2.5 days for me) Advice: Sony had a lot of software upgrades, many bugs were corrected, so check and make sure your phone has latest software (6.4.7). Code for this is: *#release# Many of the problems people talk about does not exist in latest versions

  • Nice phone, lots of features but too light and plasticky, poor battery life and distorted earpiece.

  • great......

  • shit fone

  • Using Sony for about 3 months, I would say its a great phone, but there is one thing that I could not find in this sery, that CMD Z5 does not include a 'Voice Dial' feature.

  • best posing accessory to date!

  • It is true, this phone Fucking sucks !

  • i hate it

  • This is one of the best phones that Sony has come up with so far since they've tried penetrating the GSM handset market. Whilst using the slim battery, the Z5 is a very good phone to go around with. Unfortunately, with every slim battery, you cannot really get a lot of hours out of it. Max standby for me was around 2 days. The standard battery was somewhat more combersome and took away its "good looks". The jog dial is good and bad - good in the way that it gives one another way of accessing the phone's features/functions, and bad that the navigational properties gets confusing depending on which menu level you are on. The voice memo (built-in answering machine) is a godsend for those people who do not like the inconvenience of voice mail - but who do not want to miss calls. Good points: Lightweight, easy to carry and use, built-in answering machine, jog dial convenience, built in IE browser + WAP + POP3 email client Bad points: T9 input very slow (compared to Nokia's T9 system), jog dial system somewhat confusing to use (up-down determination)

  • i think to have mini funchion(clock-alarm-vibrate-infrared port,and how many langunges suport.
