Sony Ericsson Spiro - User Reviews

  • I keep getting the dreaded "Out of Memory" error when trying to send messages and some messages from the inbox have gone missing! I never deleted them! Even a high capacity memory card did not help with this issue!

  • Despite this being a Walkman-branded phone, I would really only play MIDI files on this.

  • I have PTSD of this phone and when I used to use it as a daily driver. So much "Out of Memory" errors even though I had a memory card in the phone. After about 3 months, it stopped working and I couldn't get a repair on it. It was that bad. And it stopped working at the worst possible time (hence why I have PTSD)!

  • The phone is cute and all, but I bought the W705 for nostalgic experience

  • But... the bad quality was Sony's fault not Ericsson's fault.

  • This phone ONLY has 1 game pre-installed!!! (Which is QuadraPop). And before you tell me the small amount of memory is to blame, the Nokia 7100 Supernova has even less memory (4MB) WITHOUT a memory card slot and has 3 games pre-installed! (Which are Backgammon II, City Bloxx and Snake III).

  • Not everyone will bother getting a memory card (especially for a feature phone)

  • This phone is worse than the Microsoft Kin.

  • Yes, it actually is. No one here is over-exaggerating.

  • None.

  • The situation is even worse with the Nokia 7100 Supernova. That phone has 4MB memory but WITHOUT a SD card slot.

  • Your first phone when you were 6? You must be really young here.

  • DON'T SAY THAT this little mobile is amazing, it were my first phone when I were 6 I used to go on it every night and everyday, I took it everywhere I went until I broke it when I were 8

  • I actually liked this thing. Still not sure why people are upset about this phone.

  • Bin it, Bin it, Bin it, horrible, horrible, horrible, it has 5mb of useable memory... no its worse than horrible...

  • how to fix out of memory 1 find bin 2 throw this load of junk in to bin 3 relax and chill x

  • to the person who wrote 'does this phone play 3d games' this phone does not even play any games, it does not go on line... this phone was once voted the most cr*p phone ever created... and this award must go to sony well done... everyone was asleep on every aspect of this phone... sleeping at work bad... wake up and smell the coffee sony x

  • i cant believe that the brand like sony has made this mobile. most horrible mobile phone i ever used , sorry sony , but plz take this , u deserve this

  • i bought it on 2011 (jan 25). it's camera FLEX is not available in (odisha,india) market..now it available or not may you help me ?

  • think 1000 times before purchasing this one

  • My Sony Eric Spiro phone has 500 contacts. But the Sim is capable only holding up to 250 contacts. You can only copy contacts instead of moving. So how to transfer all the contacts to my new Nokia.

  • If u use the charger at that time u should not use ur mobile. If u use its show out of memory

  • Guys remove some ringtones & apps from phone & install apps & copy multimedia files only in memory card it will work fine :)

  • k850 themes is do well on spiro

  • Welcome to hell you are the sad owner of a sony phone, I got this in 2011, some how this phone excaped from 2005, to say its complete rubbish is an understatment, yes its basic but... its slow, the internet crashes on connection everytime, and the camara has a green stripe down the middle of the picture. Find your self a rubbish bin, because thats the only places this phone belongs.

  • My phone is just fine!no auto-start,no freeze no ''out of memory'' etc.last time i updated it in 2011.love spiro...

  • My phone is just fine!no auto-start,no freeze no ''out of memory'' etc.last time i updated it in 2011.love spiro...

  • whoever designed the spiro phone i just hope that he has already been fired.....i used to to love the Ericsson products and i decided to buy this gadget a.k.a the spiro...no sooner had i bought it no sooner i had already wasted on the cash n the respect i had for the company just came to an end...for those guys who want to buy this phone simply dont waste your money on buying it...

  • whoever designed the spiro phone is absolutely dont know what he created...the phone is just a mess from the time you buy it to the time you will through it in the dustbin...

  • spiro cpu arm 11 300mhz

  • when my friend a MMS picture.i press 'Yes'.it said 'Download Cancel".can anybody help me?.i'm afraid that my setting was wrong.somebody help me with my MMS problem.if my setting was wrong,please correct me.tq.

  • i bought this mobile before 2 years now that is take rest in showcese in my room

  • its very difficult this mobile only one sim run not all sims runs

  • Does this phone have multitasking,,does it minimize,,,pls reply me

  • you right..

  • This is the epitome of bad phones. It automatically switches off, constantly claims to be 'Out of Memory', calls gets disconnected, screen goes blank, very slow, unable to view any videos, automatically hangs, needs to update software EVERY MONTH from service center and at the end in 6 months it will be scrap. Can't believe they still have the nerve to sell this. Lost my trust in SonyEricsson and will not ever buy another phone product from them.

  • I brought 2 of these and they both only worked for 6 months before they froze all the time. They would freeze during a txt or just not turn on or off. Rang Sony to get them looked at but no1 wanted to help. Absolute rubbish phones, big wast of money. No more Sony products for me or anyone else in my family. Very disappointing.

  • I av figure out d problem of se spiro...u guys should just do as i says.. 1. Make sure ur phone memory is always free and empty 2.move all your files to ur micro sd card 3.move all your ur contact and messager to ur sim....and u will see ur phone will stop hanging...belive me...mine have not give me any proble since 1.5 years...as for the themes,,,it dosn't support k800 themes....go to rugame.mobi...spiro themes is there.

  • W20I

  • i can't send message and my calculator can't function normal.what should i do?

  • what's the phone lock code for sony ericsson w100?

  • i have that phone, now it is wast what can i do?

  • the sony erickson w100i is very foor no GPS and no themes had lot of problem like hanging, out of memory etc... it damaged the image of sony ericsion :(

  • THANKS to the lovely guys here... i was thinking of buying this phone but i guess after reading ure comments i've changed my mind to a better one.

  • NEVER PUCHASE SONY ERICSSION PHONE.... I bought the phone and it had lot of problem like hanging, out of memory etc... it damaged the image of sony ericsion we can hope now ericsion is seprated so SONY will not launch such a Bad quality phone.

  • List of problems I personelly faced 1) Automatically Switches off. 2) Out of Memory issue. 3) Call gets disconnected. 4) Screen goes blank. 5) Very Slow. 6) Unable to view any videos. 7) Automatically Hangs. 8) Needs to update software EVERY MONTH from service center. 9) At the end in 6 months it will be scrap.

  • This phone has problems which no other phone has and you cant expect those problems, most importantly no one can fix.... so please be aware, if you purchase this phone that means you kept your valuable money in gutter

  • hangs a lot and then gets dead...mine is dead for since 1 year..the phone is in good condition but doesnot start and no one has the clue why its not starting..some say may be the motherboard is dead.

  • I could use this phone for only 13 months..after that the screen had gone blank automatically...gone to service center..they took 270rs and told that phone is dead and cant be repaired..i asked whats the reason.. he told dont know may be manufacturing fault..now the phone is dead with good looks as not in warranty i could do anything..And when mailed the sony people they told that warranty is over nothing can be done...such is this shameless company...

  • I have had my Spiro for 18 months. Shortly after getting it I couldn't receive or send any texts. I had to get a link from the company to upload a programme (no cables were with the phone when purchased so I had to buy these first)I lost ALL phone nos when doing this. For the last few months after sending/receiving a few texts the phone says it is "out of memory". I have to remove the battery and then wait for 10 mins before it is usable, and then repeat this action after every few texts. Initially I was pleased with the phone, but not now. I have other phone for years with no problems.

  • what better sony mix walkman or this sony spiro?

  • a really bad phone from sony. Complete waste of money. Poor features except for music. Frame rate while watching videos is very slow. Does not support 3d games and you-tube. Glad i sold it.

  • Awful 'phone! If you want to send a text turn it off and back on again else you will just get a message saying Out Of Memory - even when there is plenty of memory. Oh, and it will take more than 5 minutes to reboot. SE have conned anyone that bought this phone and should be taken to court. Unfortunately I haven't got that sort of money! DO NOT BUY!!!

  • what do the company have to say for itself.....millions have gone into waste....loved Sony Ericsson but after i bought this phone i rate sonyericsson products to 0.1%....

  • This is a vey bad phone ever I see. Its start to hang from first day of purchase. I had updated software more than 10 times but no change in problem. this phone has changed my opinion about sony.

  • this phone is so worst. please gys dont buy this phone ever.... infact ignore to buy sony erecsion's phone... this company is cheater... i bought spiro and xperia both... both phone are.....in 6 months i run 6 times to service center.... but the problem is still present.. this phone is badly hanging, automaticaly switch off,and much more problems.

  • worst phone ever.cant reply bcoz of OUT OF MEMORY nd hangs freq. just waste of money

  • its a nice phone but it haves bugs but if you want loud music the phone will give you that.

  • Shall I buy this phone ?

  • very usefull slide set , nice mob 1 m using 1 year no problems showing !!

  • Reasonable price, good audio quality, long lasting battery, large display, soft keypad, excelent crystal clear sound using earphone/headset, i use this phone about 10mons. This phone has minimal problem, i experience out of memory but when i change my 2gb card into 8gb, i dont experience now the out of memory issue. I dont experience the restart problem since the first day i bought this. - the camera is good if you use in outdoor but when u use in a place where the light is low, the pict.quality is very poor. On the video, it has poor quality bcoz it only a vga. - i d0nt like its orange keypad color. Also the internet speed, coz its too slow. It doesnt support any themes aside from the 2 preinstalled thm. If u like to download games, download it from pc. It is java enabled phone. By the way, does your phone has a music player theme? Mine doesnt have, but when i watch the review video of this phone, the phone they use have. A walkman theme. - OPINION * this is a good phone, the other afraid to buy this phone due to the negative comments here. Im from the Philippines by the way, mine is stealt black.

  • verry verry bad phone.no themes,no internet speed,no speed phone.always stuck and auto off. mic is verry bad.must put ribbon in 3 months

  • Its very bad.., does not support internet..., also internal memory is very less.....

  • This phone not good. Did not support themes, game, appplication, mp4 video

  • not so good mobile as described, can't download java apps while u can download them in other brand mobiles easily, gets hanged when tried to play a hq mp4 video around 17 Mb. Bluetooth problem occurs sometime. But has a good sound quality, nice design, not so good camera..!

  • nice phone

  • wap is not support in this phone

  • this mob wap is allowed so dont downloard songs

  • This 4n is slow.frends dont take it

  • Where to download spiro games

  • Well, this phone is value for money, acceptable audio quality, good if use as a MP3 player, not for game, not for pictures, not for browsing... Seriously, i dont like it much because it cause me a lot of trouble...Slow... slow and slow....!!! if u can afford better phone, dont get this phone!!! Strongly not recommended...

  • it is the worst phone i have ever seen i bought this phone bcoz i thought that i must have a really good music player but it is a waste of time and money.the phone continuously hangs and it does not respond well,the themes are not compatible and the worst of all the internet does not function at all.just the fact that it has a 3.5mm jack gives the look of a music phone

  • I Purchased This Mobile ..........Please Dont Purchase The Mobile Its Worst,Waste OF Time&Money..Its Continously Hang And It Doest Respond In Calls Immediately..Please Dont Buy....

  • games built for 240x320 are working actually. the themes are not that compatible because of the music player..

  • A very poor phone. Orange replaced the first one for me, it had so many problems, but 5 months later, the new phone now has the same problems. The screen freezes, the display jumps, especially the clock, but worst of all, it is constantly displaying"out of memory" when I want to send a text, even when I have cleared the memory very recently.It also has made "pocket calls " in the middle of the night, when on my bedside table, not having been touched! I can't recommend it to anyone. I have always had Sony Ericsson phones before, and found them good. Not this one!

  • Dynamic Music.....wot could be expected in so less amount...even ipods are costlier than this phone...every phone has some drawbacks.... v good phone

  • this phone has only 5 mb internal memory, it's showing 'out of memory' after sending each 2 messages and it hangs now and then... the worst phone i have ever used!!

  • thats nat true because i have downloaded many themes, games n evn applications for this phone n it work perfectly... the websites are zedge,mobile9,mobile24, phonky etc

  • this is the eorst phone i ever had....... there are so many prublums im facing today while using this phone 1-it is vry slow 2-its switch of automaticaly anytime 3-when we go to create messages its show out of memory and this sucks 4-after some time its take almost 10 min to restart the phone..

  • had this phone and got the same problems as everybody else. It switches off bye itself and when you try to send a message it says you have run out of memory? Worst phone ever.

  • dis phn is soooo cheap because it basically is not good... i had it 4 a few months and it got many problems already

  • complete waste of money.... dont try this... msgs dont go... shuts off very often... hanging occurs reglarly...

  • This is worst phone ever it hangs every now and then please dont buy this F*****g Phone

  • I've had this phone for about 6 months now and it has all sorts of problems. I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy W to replace it because I need a dependable phone which does not shut off and on all the time by itself.

  • this phone is nt at all good .. plz never ever try this phone .itz a waste of money .. within 3 months from itz purchase date i have got to know that ..

  • This is one of the best phones ever.... the sound is sogood.. the camera is great.. but there is one problem i cant connect at the internet.. but the battery last long eventhough i listen to musi for 18 hours ith full volume and it still works..

  • this phone is quite slow....n kinda boring...nt satisfied at all............

  • Its Very Slow, it use not satisfied

  • for me this mobile had a lot of problem it switch off and switch on automatically even while speaking slow processing no proper themes available.....

  • To be very Honest......... My God Amazing... Best phone ever got

  • This is the worst phone ever, i bought in my whole life. you might think i am exaggerating, you can read the reviews of other people.I had this phone for about 5 months, started to have problems with in a week. The phone kept on crashing, switchng off automatically, the worst thing for me now is the phone is not turning on anymore and some important data(password etc) is stored in this phone, which i should have written on a paper instead. This was the first sony ericcson phone i bought, i hate it. Previously i had a brand new phone which i bought for under £1 which worked nearly perfect.

  • can u use this mobile in usa

  • pls contact the nearest service centre n update the os... it will work perfect. pls back up ur phone book, messages n memos bofore submiting the cell phone :)

  • there is no doubt it is a cute phone but the only problem with it is slow phone...after deleting 1 msg or call record it takes too much time to go back. camera is slow.

  • i love dis cell phone its amazing.....

  • i really want this fone. how many themes doe it got?

  • i bought this phone last year in saudi as a gift to my gf in philippines, at first it was very nice but after few months the system become slow whenever i turn it on, im going to wait atleast 15-20 minutes to finish loading aside from that when i was going to write a msg it appears out of memory so i can't able to write a msg what im going to do was turn it off and on, then as months goes by i encounter another problem when the screen or LCd become all white. They said that the flex has been damage.

  • I currently have this one and I have NOTHING good to say about it. Of course it's a budget phone, but please do not waste your money on it. The problems I have with this phone are (I bought it completely new): -The battery only charges up to 96/97% no matter how long it's being charged. -The phone shuts down when entering the official Sony Ericsson site for free themes, ringtones etc. -The phone itself is laggy. -It likes to irritate you when battery is low. (In school I was checking time like seeing how much time is left and the clock showed me 11:47 AM and then all of the sudden went to 12:10 AM) -The batter dies in less than one day (assuming you like to listen a lot to the music). -There is NO working themes or games for this phone (searched the whole internet). -

  • well the phone is very beautiful. long lasting battery, even after listening to music for a whole day, it keeps alive for 24hrs, the only things is that is switch off by itself and then restart, and this sucks, ive only been able to use it for 1 year, thats it, now it is under repairing, and am afraid they told me they are not sure this can be repair!!!

  • very cheap phone dont buy any one

  • it is very bad but music is excellent ,hanging problems are come in this phone

  • it is very bad but music is excellent ,hanging problems are come in this phone

  • I am going to buy this phone, but after reading the comments; Is Spiro bad this much? I can't imagine to buy

  • restarting and sms problems are usually a software problem. update it at the sony ericsson website and all should be ok

  • releasing this kind of crap is the reason why SONY stay of business with ericsson, stupid phone ever

  • I buy this phone in few months ago.. yesterday I throw it out of window...

  • Greatest phone I ever had, never problems with it, long lasting battery

  • ,So far this phone is the worst mistake in my life it hangs often,switches of by itself then restarts,does not accept themes and ,,,,,,

  • w100i is wasted phone,cant use 2gb always hang,ribbon also got problem .hexxx

  • really guilty to buy this phone.. ya, there are a lot of problems i had after two days i bought it....

  • looking is very good and nice but quality is so bad. Frankly speaking, this handset doesn't have any good quality except picture and sound. Hanging problem is the main problem of this handset.

  • Cheap .. But hell lot of problems with it. Hangs often. Need to restart once it hangs.

  • I really do not recommend this phone as it has a lot of problems, and I mean A LOT. I had to return it for repairs within just ONE week from the day it was purchased. and after they fixed it, i couldn't use the Track id thing anymore. and even after that, it still had a lot of problems. take it from me, you do not want to buy this phone. it will only be a waste of your money and time. i regret choosing this one.

  • Hi my friend please send me the link of compatible themes. You told that w809 themes will be compatible but I was not able to find W809 themes online.

  • This is too worst phone ive ever bought always hanging prob,restart and worst battery backup.

  • my life's bigest mistake dt i bought dis cell.i cnt send msg,hang prblm,t tk 10 mins to switch on..tz betr to buy a toy cell thn spiro..brothr n sistrs,dnt buy it.

  • With all my honour to Sonyericsson This phone is completely good for nothing , alternatively showing out of memory, no external themes are compatible no games is compatible , and always being restarting when the use of camera, poor media player..... never ever use this phone

  • i hate it! its very irritating battery is not of quality. even in standby mode, it decreases its power easily, and it always hangs please ignore "SONY ERICSSON"...Its a Hopeless Company,,,,it is just waste of time and money to dealing with this company

  • its really very bad phone battery problem and when i using net it will hang.

  • just a basic phone. a waste of money. better buy a cedar

  • This is the very very bad phone as i use ever. The company is made this product to blame the customer. As i have a Sony Eri w1ooi model, and it goes 4 times for service to service center for the sliding display & hang problem. Although it has micro sd card system, it hangs without this. Is this orgional Sony Phone or Duplicate by the Sony Company to cheat customer.

  • sony ericsson is black listed friend

  • Spiro works well if the cell network is good. It is so with at least my set. Only "out of memory" error occurs sometimes. One should avoid this phone if exposed to poor networks.

  • Honestly speaking, this phone is a WASTE OF MONEY. why? because it hangs all the time and when you open messages it will appear "out of memory" though your messages are all deleted. you need to take off the battery first and when you turn on the phone, it takes more or less 20 mins before you can use it because it hangs!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! i hate it! its very irritating. SUPER :(((((

  • Its battery back up is very bad I have to charge it every day. If not in a use then also its battery needs charge.Can you please give me any suggestion how to getaway of it???????

  • This phone is a perfect gift for your enemy.being irritated with this phone i threw it to water.

  • hey, ur i think reserved guys not about the company see cedar by sonyericsson topmost and better backup to even nokia with 3g in this rate of

  • wow

  • im a user of this phone. battery is not of quality. even in standby mode, it decreases its power easily.

  • company is not providing services....option is consumer court....lets go 4 it....please be with me...

  • I had Never seen such a useless & hopeless phone like this....I purchased it be4 near about 8 months,in this 8 month it went minimum 5 times to Sony care..but the handset is still as it is...now i am going straight to "consumer court"........ ..........please ignore "SONY ERICSSON"...Its a Hopeless Company,,,,it is just waste of time and money to dealing with this company.........

  • It was the first sony erixon brand to buy, after 1 month, it is DOWN without specific reason, when went to sevice center they told me they will change the mother-board. Sweared not to repeat it, no sony erixon anymore

  • Dis mobile is only gud 4 music nt for mesafing r calls

  • This phone is really buggy, sometimes the phone won't lock when you slide it down even though it's set on auto lock. I had to take the battery off and on again for it to work. Also User Interface is not friendly, very complicated.

  • Bloody Lazy phone. Never recommendable. If you are planning to buy it you'r going to trash your money......Never ever.

  • good phone for music, but the problem is it hangs and restarts once in everyday and when i go for massaging it wil show out of memory and can't send msg

Every1 is saying positive abt d design n music player... Bt no one is specifying negative thngs.. Every1 is saying its a worst phone.. Bt i want to knw wat r d worst thngs of this phone? can any1 plz elaborate..?

  • Other that nice design... Worst. Phone. Ever. Nuff said!

  • the phone is very complicated and the bluetooth application disturbs alot.

  • First one I got had problems from the start, got a replacement and it had the same problems. Worst phone ever.

  • well... go to ur music n then press options n press my music then u can select frm ur tracks the music u want... bt the phon sucks

  • the worst phone i have ever seen/used

  • my uncle bought me this phone. at first, it was okay. but after i used this phone for a while, it started making problems. i can't send any messages and receive blank message..few days after the phone was fixed, the screen started to go blank..once again i got this phone fixed, but the same problems happened..now, i just let the phone unfixed because i had already spent much money on this phone just to get it fixed..

  • don't forget it's "budget phone"

  • This phone is fine. Just update it.

  • I Hate Sony Ericsson..........

  • Really a bad product from SE..

  • Hey my advice to anybody who wants to buy ths phone....DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!Its the worst phone ever,the second day i got it,it started saying "out of memory" when i tried to reply to any message!Its disgusting...On a scale of 1-10,I would rate it as a minus ten..(ps-could anyone tell me how to sue sony ericsson?)

  • It is waste and disguating phone.stupid and idiot phone.y u r releasing this product in the market.it is having software problem which bluetooth problem &hanging is worst.The worst phone i have ever used or even heard of.Plz dont buy this phone otherwise u would never purchase any product which SONY manufactures.plz don,t buy plz plz plz

  • Many options ar missing Good for music but go for se j108i cedar itz a grate phone

  • Don't ever.. Ever buy this lag phone. My dad bought 2 of these and bring us nothing..

  • User reviews are very, uhm what is the right term.. not so good about this phone.. Actually I almost bought this fone but fortunately, my hands and head go for zylo when i handled the zylo dummy at SE center. I guess you can sue SE for selling a Bad product?

  • Thanks God for reviews.... i thought i would buy this phone but after reading the reviews i wont go anywhere near purchasing it.

  • i need to access my music on my phone.....it is currently blank so i need direction to listen to the music on my phone

  • it just okay.....but something wrong happen actually..

  • yes frnd u r correct.... it is having software problem which bluetooth problem &hanging is worst..

  • The worst phone i have ever used or even heard of.Plz dont buy this phone otherwise u would never purchase any product which SONY manufactures.

  • buy it...if u wana waste ur money ! even the atest software sucks . SONY ERRRICSON....wht r u doin ? :O

  • How different is it's audio quality through headphones when compared to nokia 5130XM, I mean how different is the bass, treble, stereo output and voice through headphones?

  • iits good look and bad features. dot buy this phone for ever

  • super mobile it give's 100% satisfication..

  • i brought this mobile for my girlfriend its very good for music but its problem is struck.At the time of watching videos we cant receive calls because that time phone was going to struck.

  • Worst phone ever, doesn't operate properly, memory problem, hangs while listening to songs, switches of suddenly and many others....got it repaired twice in a service center in bangalore, but of no use after waiting for 2 weeks twice. The place where we brought the mobile did not exchange for another one, after few days of facing the problem. My suggestion, DO NOT buy this mobile.

  • Spiro is one BIG BIG...the BIGGEST SE dissapointment! Never buy it!

  • never buy this phone

  • Im fed up with this phone. never buy it.It has some memory errors. OUT OF MEMORY. cant send or receive messages. stucking

  • This is very godd for me he is walkman telephone.He has 2.0 megapixcel camera...

  • its has some software problems. some times it will be strucked and not hear voice

  • just update it.. evrything will be fix...

  • I will give u guys some hints and tips about creating a 'theme' for spiro. First of all, download a sony ericsson's 'themes creator' and of course u will have to install it. After that, google for any spiro related theme and download. After that open the theme creator and choose for model 'Z750' at 'change phone profile'. Using this application now open the theme that u've download and it will ask if u wanna change the theme with different resolution then click yes. This will automatically change the resolution that will works on Spiro. Dont worry, SE Z750 and Spiro was using similar platform.

  • Not really after perform software update it will fix the sort of problem. Mine still having "out of memory" issue when received and sending a lots MMS. Battery still draining too fast as i'm a heavy user. I used to charged my Spiro everyday and i didn't have to do this when using Nokia's and SE Cedar. Actually the problem was not only the firmware but the internal memory does not enough to support the larger application. It's need at least 30MB internal memory to run the OS smoothly. If u'll wanna buy a good budget Sony Ericsson phone, i suggest go for J105i Cedar. For nokia, go for X2-01. both was within Spiro price. Go for it guys, dont waste ur money on this phone.

  • the most stupid cell i have ever seen..... never go for it... whenever i go to type any msg thr comes some disgusting error saying OUT OF MEMORY..... IM FED UP WITH IT.....

  • dont tell like. Once you update your firm ware you will enjoy lot

  • so i got this phone in this early month.. i bought it using my first salary. so far the sounds of this phone is very good, but i hate the camera's functions, can't support almost themes that are available to download, (gosh what a waste) and it doesn't support animated pics or wallpapers ugh i think my previous phone se k550 is much better than my phone now.. so my advice is don't buy this phone.. :)

  • Had nothing but trouble with this phone,turns itself off not able to receive text when I open them nothing written in there also not able to send texts.

  • please dont buy this model. it's waste of money. I've purchased this one & suffering now. I always buy sony ericsson mobiles only, but this this may the worst model they might have produced. Internal memory is very less (5MB), so you can't use any features, even this model has those. when use capture a photo, the phone will restart itself. If you want to add songs to a playlist, the phone will go switched off. so please friends go for any other model.

  • damn slow......dis is d first Sony phone iv seen dt is so bad..... standard of Sony is going down....manufactures shud look in2 it

  • Folks, I am die hard fan of Sony Ericsson until i bought Spiro last Nov'10...Specifications were good but performance is bad...Even Sony's service center people a laughing at me for choosing this model...Sony shouldn't come with this kind of product ever again. Why do we go to sony? Even if the cost is high, they will not compromise in quality but in Spiro case, it's the other way around. Phone hangs frequently, memory is too low for even receiving/sending SMS...Hard to believe its a product of Sony.

  • Its A WALKMAN phone.... All it is built for Music... and as usual sony has done it up to the mark... Ok.. it is slow compared to some the market options... But at this price.. best Walkman Phone one can get.. made for music lovers....

  • its not actually good waste of money themes are not compatible the bluetooth head sets are not working troubles..........many...

  • what's the unit of your SE spiro?? 'coz the first SE spiro is w100.. and the new and upgraded version of SE spiro is w100i. so i think SE did many changes to the new sony ericson spiro w100i.. ty.

  • A real waste of money. Please dont ever think of buying it. Indeed it is an eye candy, but performance wise a big zero. Started giving problems from day1. It has numerous defects, like sometimes takes almost eternity to restart. Hanging is its most favourits pastime, u start sending sms to a contact lists it hangs, u start camera it hangs, sometime u just read a new sms it hangs and restarts. I got it fixed at sony service center, but in vain. I fell for the big name and repo of sony, but please u dont do that.

  • What problem you faced? Tell me . I want to buy it now.

  • it nice looking phone and this music is marvolous

  • guys..that phone is the worst phone I've ever had..it would be the best if it doesn't have so many problems within..first problem I had on the first week..the text hanged..I was unable to send any text, n if there's a text received, it showed "massage corrupt"..then unusual hang n hang..sometimes memory card disturbs or sometimes the main item Walkman..!! getting rid of thin phone, buying a new one..wish me luck

  • really a bad mobile only works good like an mp3 player no other functions can be performed properly not even txt messeges

  • really a worst phone, don't ever buy any Sony Ericsson phones, had a very bad experience buying this, from day one facing problems,

  • Good evening! A question: Do somebody know if this model supports 8GB memory card, without any problem? What's your opinion about to compare this model with the new one from nokia C2-02, in the music/mediaplayer fuction? Thanx

  • a very bad phone. a waste of money. im a SE user and this phone is nothing but trash and a disappointment. because of this experience, i will never ever buy anything thats from Sony Ericsson.

  • the camera lags and the mobile freezes sometimes gonna sell it to buy a huawei. next week

  • dont waste your money

  • its one one of the waste models of sony erission

  • Do not buy this phone. Total waste of money. visited service center 4 times in 7 months with issues like hanging,out of memory,white screen and auto switch off/on. Even SE does not have clue on this.

  • why my phone can't blutooth picture,theme ?

  • dont buy this kind of phone.. please, i been using may spiro for 1 month and now im planning to trade this.. the phone is always out of memory..

  • learn to write.

  • Why the WMA format can't be use??

  • why is it impossible to simply transfer music data from a ps3?They made them both,it's suposed to b a walkman.

  • Please please dont go for it....!!!! Its an utter waste of money and time. Software issues all the time....!!!

  • ita a total waste of money n time both... in 3 months,i have visited 3 times the service center. n the service center of lucknow also sucks like ths phone

  • I already use it. It's not useful for us , cause Sony Ericsson Spiro screen easy to damaged and I think I throw my money for it. Just waste my money !

  • new user interface & less internal memory & hardware of this phone is outdated, upgrading software does'nt solve this mobile phone problem..., so very bad phone made by SONY ERICSSON & itz price worth 70% less than MRP

  • This phone is trash. It has a factory defect. Do not waste your money on this phone. Sony Ericcson must have a mass recall for this phone. I bought this phone last month, after a week it started to work improperly. Do not believe in advertising, believe the users.

  • not good, i am always faccing out of memory problem, & when i start the camera the phone automatically going to switch off.

  • sorry to say but this phone really s**k.. it got lot of problem in it... i think it's only purpose is to listen to music like WALKMAN.. that's all.. =__=. I've been using one now but thinking of changing to a new phone.

  • id been using my w100i,for about 2 months, im so very disappointed with this kind of phone since; - hang, u will restart your phone - very slow loading, after you restart your phone - compose text mes-> i think it only accommodate 30 text mes in the inbox, and 30 save mes.

  • what is the better solution for out f memory in Sony Ericsson Spiro.....?

  • sony ericssion w100i mobile very very very worst mobile first stop this model and suggest this model dont sale this model

  • This Phone is kinda nice,,,, but compared to SE Cedar it stinks, and slide phones get broken easily

  • Guys guys guys - you're putting too much pressure on this phone. It isn't the worst phone ever made. At its selling price, you shouldn't expect it to work like an iPhone or any other high end mobile phone. It's a cheap phone and it does perform like that. Period. However, it's waaay better that most phones at this price. I bought this very recently. Sure, it's got problems. But for what I paid for it, I won't complain. Its positives are: 1. Good, crisp display. 2. Cool design. 3. Great weight. 4. Small, very pocketable. Ideal as a spare phone. 5. Memory card slot. 6. Voice recorder, radio, Walkman, camera, video and other multimedia stuff. 7. Well designed interface. 8. Nice keyboard with nice orange backlight. 9. Package comes with a screen protector. 10. The Walkman logo! 11. Overall design is laudable. Weaknesses are: 1. Lags. Messaging not too user friendly. 2. It hangs, yeah. (So I won't recommend that you load it up with too much files - music, photos etc.) Without much of multimedia content, the phone operates better. 3. Prone to smudges. 4. Bad camera. Bad video. So-to those whining it's the worst phone, do yourself a favor and buy an iPhone 4, a Nokia E7 or a Samsung Galaxy S. You see, to expect greatness in a mobile phone you simply got to pay more. At least 10x more than what you paid for this phone. I applaud SE for designing this phone with the budget conscious in mind. Those that won't be caring much about the multimedia features but would deem it wouldn't hurt to use it once in a while. It's a cheap phone. It's great on several aspects. But it's just cheap and you get what you paid for.

  • no use in this phone except music only this is very very bad phone there is so many proublems

  • how can i fix my SE spiro if im writing a new message it only says Out of memory...how can i fix it???worst phone i ever had..>.

  • im an avid SE user , but i cant understand why SE introduce, this kind of phone.. which has 5Mb internal memory.. you will erase some txt message to accommodate receive new mess.. i suggest you buy the other units of SE.

  • this phone is very bad, and worse, the company does not respondsponde

  • imma SE user and id like to purchase this soon. i dunno if this is worth buying or not. some told me that its good and some told me that its not. now i dunno what to do.

  • really very bad. no themes accepted which is downloaded from net. out of memory problem.

  • hi can u plz tel me how2 correct diz problem i face with spiro? if i dial a phone number,then the next time it automatically shows d same no,even if i type just the 1st 2numerals. EXAMPLE: like 98....., it shows all d calls i have dialled tat starts with 98. i switched off the smart search off but still d memory of the previous dialled numbers exist. how2delete it? i don want d phone 2save any nos like that. (it z not saved in contacts but in dialler.)

  • I also bought it , it's very bad . A lot of hanging problem. But a boom music phone

  • i accept but not all phones of spiro are bad take my phone as example the only problem in my phone is battery it discharges fastly and hangs while using few apps coming to themes it supports sony ericsson g502 model themes it doesnt suuport animated themes of g502

  • you said that, "no Application" is compatible?? you're wrong.. in my spiro.. i have a lot of games.. medical dictionary.. lot's of java applications.. there is also a theme for my fone.. hahahaha LOL!!

  • you just need to upgrade w100i spiro.. update the software using the USB port.. Xperia and Spiro's port are the same.. just try to update the software of spiro.. always make a back-up of the software of your fone.. :)

  • really very bad. no themes accepted which is downloaded from net. out of memory problem. Pls dont buy this phone. if u bought already, round ur head of ur mobile and through it. very very bad.... I m very much dis-appiontment.

  • To buy spirow(100i). buy china mobile, it will be more better than this

  • heyyyyyyyy.......wht u telng is true????????

  • its the worst phone ever by SE.u will have problems with almost everythng.the main concern is the texting problem-an annoying 'out of memory' error will often prevent you to create a new message.you cant zoom when after clicking pictures with 2mp.no app is compatible with this software.i did a survey online.more than 95% users r dissatisfied with this crappy phone

  • F its bad why u still using it!!!!!!!!

  • Come on guys,,,,are u all joking or what,,,,this phone only costs 90 $ ,,,,think about it!!!!!!

  • i use this phone back 6 months this is the worst phone in Sony Ericsson company i never seen this type of phone this phone operating is very very slow

  • really

  • I want to get this phone just far calling and texting and music. how is the battery life on this phone ? and how clear is the speaker when talking to someone, is it loud/crisp enough for you to hear ?

  • i reacently bought one. now i cant write new msgs, play game. the application itself is not opening. there is some major problm with the software. its really annoying set

  • everytime i'll use the internet on my spiro, it'll crash & restart. wtf is the prob with this handset??? will a software upgrade improve its performance??

  • i only have it for 2 days then when i go to a mall i cant txt nor recieve txt messages i remove the battery but it only says please wait....and i waited for the whole night and when i woke up its still like that.. >.

  • does it provide mega-bass. I like Mega bass.

  • OKAY FOLKS *** another update By moi on this handset.... This is BY FAR the handset ive had most returns to store with over that past 6-8 months. We sell it in 3 different colours; black, white & pink and roxy edition and with a price tag of just 30euro - this catches the eye of those looking for a cheap n cheerfull handset or the parents buying the kiddies first handset HOWEVER if im honest - i AM reluctant to sell this handset as it comes back almost as quick as it is sold. Main problem is phone displays 'not enough storage' message when the phone could be completely free of any data and holding a memory card. Would not recommend this product.

  • ==" my phone now completely cannot use... i bought it at feb now i need to send it 2 service center because the phone just left me a logo on the screen... although i remove the battery and put it back and start the phone it also show Sony Ericsson logo 2 me and no other stuff...zzz it is shame of SE!!!!!

  • dont buy this stone because

  • Not a single scratch and problems so far.... Great work SE

  • I want to know about this phone. b coz i want buy SPIRO phone. Plzz tell me

  • i'm so sad, this is my big mistake. don not buy this phone guys

  • I just bought the phone 2 days ago and Im happy and this phone is cool and small... As what they say great things come in small packages....

  • I'm using a spiro for months now. Not a single technical problem. I've even accidentally fell it in the concrete once in my workplace and got only a scratch. still performed well. you need to purchased a memory card separately. just read the manual.

  • the biggest mistake i bought this phone... has all the problems that the users have mentioned...pl do not buy this trash

  • the worst mobile i've ever seen.... dont buy this. waste of money...

  • dont buy tihs mobile..... browsing problem,themes, not support any latest application, shut down manually.. and sooo..........

  • What ever u want to do on this mobile, this shows only one message "OUT OF MEMORY". Also the keys will not work properly after 2 or 3 months u buy the mobile. People already bought and cant do anything just use it for music, and maintain a nokia piece for other options.

  • This is not only my opinion. All the victims of spiro. Its a damn worst mobile, I ever experienced. Better by a Nokia xpress radio. After I bought this, from the second day it gets restarted automatically often. One cant do chat on this, cant take pics easily. There is nothing good in this piece other than music(that too not more than 20 mins u can listen). Dont think of internet browsing on this. There are many good nokia mobiles for this price range

  • Very Poor battery, camara, No value for money>>> Do not BUY IT..

  • nice phone. just read the MANUAL so that you wont have problems with the phone.. nice phone..

  • this is worst cell ever i had meke mistke bt no one can do this mistake its only waste of money only 1 quality in this cell camera clerity and nothing else in this cell leave problems.

  • This is very beautiful mobile, buy it and you got value of your money,

  • This is very beautiful mobile, buy it and you got value of your money,

  • "out of memory " tsk, tsk, i wasted my money for this trash. Please don't buy this one. It will just give you a bad day everyday. There's a lot of cheaper phones better than this one.

  • This is the worst mobile that i have seen ever.....so friends please don't buy this mobile...i faced lot of problem while typing the sms like "out of memory"...it restarts and hanging continuously and one more point i gave it in service center 4 times within 4 months..with this u get some idea regarding this phone right?still u have an interest to buy this phone buy with ur own risk...

  • never ever buy this phone.it always shows "out of memory" & it has no battery backup. The Most Terrible hp tat i hv been Buy! So Guyz plz b alert! Dun waste ur money n buy tiz hp! USELESS

  • want to waste your money buy it!

  • apparently i have this phone from jan 2011, i am not too happy with it, good things: sleek, music player is good, display is good for a phone in this price range (thats it) bad : -internal memory only 5mb!!!!! -always shows "out of memory" when we try to create a message or read a new message,so to read,i would have to got to the inbox everytime and open the message from there, and if u wanna create a message, we would have to restart the phone, which takes abr 20-25 mins to start up (shows "please wait")!!!! -camera is useless, -if u have quite a few messages in inbox, and u happen to be scrolling thru, it hangs, so i hav to keep deleting messages, -this phone has a concept of "conversation" in the messages, iritating and redundant thing, dunno why such things are needed, in a phone with only 5 mb internal memory. -recently i hav been facing the problem of the phone hanging too much and restarting many times. -now my phone is in the service center because, this phone was manufactured with a different software version and the above issues are due to the software mismatch, so the software needs to be updated. i would strictly say NO to anyone planning on buying this phone,there are much better basic phones available. the basic functionalities in this phone are always a prob, so save ur money for something else better.

  • never ever buy this phone.it always shows "out of memory" & it has no battery backup.The 1st week after i bought this phone It had complaint with the motherboard.

  • Please please please .. never buy Spiro. It keeps hanging all the time and you need to restart it to make it functional again. You also get problems like "Out of Memory" while trying to navigate through messages and while applying a theme even you have enough memory. Trust me this phone is just a hole in your pocket.

  • hey buddy if ur facing 'out f memory' problems, then i have a solution 4 ya. at first i also faced this problem. But then i updated ma spiro and now its workin fine.. im showin u d steps i followed. first fully charge ur spiro then remove d battery for 5 minutes, after that reinsert d battery and update ur phone. if ur spiro again shows d same problems, then reset it by goin 2 menu> settings> master reset> reset all. (also remember 2 remove ur sim card and memory card while updating or resetting ur phone) .. and use only a 2 gb memory card. U know after using these steps ma spiro never showed 'out f memory' problems. and now i have 400 messages stored in ma inbox. hope this will help yA. its been 7 months since i purchased this phone, and its still doin just fine. talkin bout its camera, its worst. well i can say that its a shitty phone but a gr8 walkman. at least it sounds gr8................

  • The phone is not really good, honestly, not good at all. I know it because I have been own it myself personally. It has only been 7 months,and this phone starts to hang and says 'out of memory' when you reach a certain amount of texts in your inbox. You will have to delete, restart, and when you restart it, it will take min.5-10 mins then only you can text. (And a phone is for people to text). It hangs when you take pictures, or either, when you open your call log. Thats what mine does. and so I'm switching phones.. although it has just been 7 months.

  • hi, how could you say that spiro is worst? i was was planning to buy one because its cool and cute but i was wondering why most of you doesn't like it...plz give me suggestion what should i buy..

  • Please never ever buy this phone, I had bought this and took it to the service centre for 6 times in 5 months and most of the time it is with them. It does not support Themes, can't view photos (most), Restarts, Freezes, while on call when i receive a message it rings and the loud speaker turns on.. This is a piece of crap from Sony Ericsson.... Do get cheated by the look of the phone.

  • honestly disappointed!!!!! Internal capacity is too small, It Crashes every time i add a memory card to it.Just had it flashed 3 times!!!

  • i brought the sony ericson spiro a week ago, i've always had sony ericson phones i think there one of the best phone brands on the market and never had any major problems but after buying this phone i my opinion is slowly changing. i brought the phone on pay as you go and was also offered the chance of buying a 4GB memory card too, which i didnt mind as i wanted one to store all my pics etc..when i got home i started trying to transfer my stuff from one memory card to another and straight away experienced problems..the phone stated the memory card wasn't actually in the phone [when it was] i have to keep turning the phone on and off until it decided it was actually in the phone!! then the phone & memory card were fine for a few days until i went to listen to my music and all the files i have had vanished and the phone told me it didnt have a memory card init [again when it did] now after a week i have to keep turning the phone on and off to regain the memory etc [when the card is in place the whole time]..my question is, has anyone else had this problem? if so how do i fix it? would be grateful for any tips or suggestions as i dont want to take the phone back as i think its very good apart from this problem! thank you :)

  • firstly you should have a working internet connection.then download sonyericsson update service from official website.then it will guide you..

  • This Phone is the worst phone i have ever used. always shows pot of memory while messaging. restarts suddenly when using some applications. sony spiro sucks......

  • firstly you should have a working internet connection.then download sonyericsson update service from official website.then it will guide you..

  • Sony ericsson spiro is a good walkman series mobile and its headfone is mindblowing.but some video,picture is not supporting in this mobile.so i think this is my only just little problem.

  • how to update spiro??????

  • it always out memory...when i wan 2 mcj.seting theme,n wan to connect 2 internet??i think spiro had a lot of problem

  • This phone is a pile of crap. do not under any circumstances buy this phone!!

  • i too felt wrong for buying tis phone first. But mow after i updated my phone all drawbacks are working... i can connect internet. install snaptu software , also i can install theme.. if u need to get themes go to zedge.net and u can select themes for w910i and download that and we can use it in siro...... sony is sony.... 1ly drawback is u cannot install flash themes..... only skins can be installed

  • I work in a celular shop, every spiro i´ve sell have the same problem. I choose not to sell it anymore, worst phone ever.

  • Worst phone I have ever used. Even after s/w update it keeps on hanging on followed by restarting on its own.

  • hi why do u say it's the worst, i wanted to buy this phone....it's on special.

  • the phone is quite good. I have no complaints what so ever. A very reliable little thing

  • Hey can you plz tel me how 2 download the softwere update

  • One of the worst phone which i have ever seen. Please don't buy it.

  • Ths is primary phne....this not suport to downldble themes...:-(

  • Do not buy this phone. That's from my experience with the phone in 1.5 days. It gives me messages like "Not enough memory. Delete Messages" and it does not allow me to send sms because of this. There is hardly any sms in the inbox!!! Seems like the issue goes away temporarily after you reboot. The battery is pretty bad too. I have fully charged the phone 4 times by now. Why does SE put an OLD OS on a 5MB device and a music player when the battery lasts for 4-5hrs with minimal use? My retailer is going to exchange the phone, as if he knew Ihat I would come back with a lot of complaints. :)

  • do any one plz tell me about the phone i want to buy ...

  • did SPIRO get megabass after update...

  • Hello good people, well i know ya'll hav been complaining about spiro being a bad phone.. Yes i know, i got mine yesterday too but luckily before i made spiro my choice i did research. Are these problems you're facing?? -auto-restart -equalizer changes whenever you pause a music -weak bass -no mega bass preset -constantly freezing.. (etc. etc.) ALL THESE ARE FIXED IF YOU JUST UPDATE YOUR FRIMWARE!! Ain't that simple??

  • Plz guy do not purchase Sony Ericsson Spyro internal mem is 5MB only if U use ruffly this will struk and have restrt again

  • ermmmm..... can u give specific instruction about what 2 do????

  • The craftsmanship of its design is unique but excellent also than some other mobiles...!

  • My mom bought this a few months back and it's such a disaster behind the cute facade. The phone has this habit of freezing up, which requires a restart, or locking up its mostly used menu (message, call history) which you can't do anything about but hope it will go away. And the firmware update is another nightmare. The software will "check for an update" for hours without doing anything. And links to the product page (via the update software) either are dead or will lead you to some support page where you don't even see this model on the list (what an insult). I'm typing this as I'm running this software for the last time, I'm sure. You've totally lost another customer, SE.

  • i think its a great wee phone ive had mine a year now x

  • really sucks phone!! if the SE didn't change or fix the firmware, better not sale or call back this bullshit phone. when trying to update, its shown this phone had a latest software...but, when wanna send a text, out of memory...man!! really sucks man...

  • I have been using this phone since Jan. 2011. But just recently, when i slide the phone, the screen goes off. So now i can slide it again. Please help me out Thanks

  • please do not buy this phone.. if u have lots of money and don have respect for this then go for it .

  • i bought this model coz it luks cute and handy. but its not up to the level. its damn waste nd often commenting the message "out of memory" even for 20 msgs in inbox..software s totally dumped n weird and phone gets switch of automatically often. no themes, no pc suite for spiro. those who ve an idea f buying w100i plz change ur mind. music luvrs alone can alone buy this but cnt expect a phone opration to b gud.

  • what type of shit is this this is absolutely a rubbish phone it is very bad guys take my advice never ever buy this phone and my advice to the company is do not envent a shity phone

  • Hi i think sonyericsson has sent an update for spiro.i updated my spiro and now it works perfectly.so better update your spiro.

  • Hi i think sonyericsson has sent an update for spiro.i updated my spiro and now it works perfectly.so better update your spiro.

  • Hey ash plz dnt say "anything" on the forums. Hw did u say that 'who will expect multitasking in this price-range'. The intelligent SE CEDAR, which has pleased everyone with its performance, has multitasking... One more thing only Sony Ericsson Java phones can perform multitasking & cedar is offering that in such low cost. And I wud suggest everyone to buy cedar only. If u have budget of 4.5k this is the better than the best option available for u.

  • it is the worst kind of phone i have ever used.... it gets switched off out of nothing! even if there are only 10 sms in inbox, it shows "out of memory"!! it requires "master reset" in every 10 days!!! it is just DISGUSTING

  • yea... its look nice... i also want to get it... but after i look at ur coment.. its fell confius.. so can i get ur advise? how its?

  • I can't believe Spiro is not good phone, i have a Cedar and it is very handy and good performance and i think there is no difference between Cedar and Spiro. if anyone have a complete review the Spiro please guide me and other users to know more about this handset.

  • i love the w508 too but dont forget my friend, w508 don't have any standard usb port

  • it is a wonderful phone made by sony.i like it very much.when i bought it i think it was bad,but it is really a good phone.it have high quality.

  • This phone of mine is very the weird. Cuz it always shows the out of memory problem. Ugh! I am a texting geek so its a very annoying problem to me. Wateva. Gonna throw it to the dustbin soon cuz I wanna suggest a better Sony phone like the W508. Totally dope! Very the cute too. So if you are about to buy Sony Spiro, change your mind then. W508 is far more better. xD

  • my friend bought 2 spiro from uk,,,he give one for me as a present at first i was so excited coz when i check it in the internet it loooks very nice but when i have it ...i dont know what to do if i throw it away or else......coz it keeos on hanging out ,..message is corrupt.....everything i experience in spiro..........i also used the other one but i experience the same too...............its really a waste of money!!!

  • How can the threaded view of message work?please help me

  • I bought one yesterday and I think its quite rubbish. I tried to update, however, the updater said it is already running the updated version. So can I just ask what is your firmware version?

  • IM SORRY ITS NOT LIKE its music is better than zen v but still it compares music quality of my zen v...

  • im using spiro nd its amazing and undefeated in music quality.. at first when i brought my spiro it was a crap.. and sound was full of distortions. unlike other Walkman Spiro was lagging behind in bass quality .. and it also show many major problems like it doesn't even detect any memory card.. but after updating d phone, this become one hell of a music phone.. i mean awesoooome.. music quality become superb with good bass effect.. i dunno if this is my imagination but all problems r gone after i updated this phone.. i didn't countered any problem since then.. undefeated Walkman of this price tag.. buy this handset without any hitch.. but make sure 2 update it.. but fella im amazed by these negative comments here.. oye other spiro users, plz update this and make sure 2 use only 2 gb card.. and try to reduce negative comments .. overall experience- Spiro is undefeated in its music.. but even after update internet sucks.. but who cares i purchased this 4 music, and its up to d mark.. its music is a lot better than my creative zen v...... and also i have regretted posting here a lot of negative comment before.. i also cursed this phone but after update its a monster.. im not goofing.. i dunno about other users but my Spiro is doing great job.. worth buying.. but doesn't have multitasking, so u can run only one thing at a time.. well whatever who would expect multitasking in this price range..

  • there is setting for messages where there is an options that where u want to store the messages u should say phone if the options is in sim card u will get this problem

  • good

  • ahhh..... man .. u r satsfied with this crap... im using it 4 about 4 months... and 4 me this is d worst fone i hav ever had.... its advantages- good 4 nothing.... Disadvantage- no bass equalizer, so even sound quality is very poor full of treble and distortions {no bass effect} Walkman has 2 be great 4 its audio quality at least, a 3.5mm jack is provided but its of no use when audio quality is worst ,, its specialty is hanging problem, it doesn't even detect memory card, even updating d phone would never solve your problem, even while doing messages it always shows 'out of memory' then i have 2 delete all of my msg from inbox nd sent items, dats why im going 4 cedar... i hav also used w200 which was just amazing 4 its audio quality..,, even internet is worse, always shows 'selected page too large 2 display' ..... even a s312 sagem phone is better than dis. i think u dont hav dis phone....

I am updating software for every 15 days and i had given it to sony service center twice. even though it is hanging. One worst fello in chennai main service center told that we have to messages every time. but after clearing also it is hanging. Dont purchase this phone.

  • hey New Upgrade version is in sony care center .. even i also had some prob with this mobile but i search in web tht its new upgrade software is released in care center just upgrade it, now i am almost happy with this mobile... its new version in 2.1 ...

  • Worst mobile!!!...to use in one's life. Never seen a mobile like this before!. It spoiled their brand name. No feature is working properly...everything hangs..and restarts automatically. Sometimes restarting also a problem.

  • it does not support any theams

  • if i get this phone 4 free i have not taken very slow problem in doing mes. also the trac id is just uselees go 4 corby is a nice option cost is around 5000 so plzz dont waste your money

  • I am totally dissatisifed by this mobile. I should have gone by be review I read in this website. I would have saved some money. Its just not for people who want to do lots with their mobile(least; messaging). I have to restart the mobile everytime I want to send a message. I hangs often. Its not even a year old and I am done with this piece. Please dont buy this mobile. Service is very poor.

  • good for normal use,and it's music quality is good.bt spiro dosen't have high perfomence,it is running on low perfomence, it is better to buy j108 for same price

  • m usng ds 4m past 5mnths, go 4 zylo....gd features large display camera quality is gr8....n doubt its suprb.....

  • i actually own a moto rockr em30...but i will be getting the SE Elm. i've read its specs and feats...theyre actually good. so i would say you might wanna get one too, elm that is...base from the reviews of spiro users...they didnt like it much..well maybe it depends on what kind of phone you're really looking for.

  • i've bought this phone on 24 april 2011.. on that day i've displace my battery more than 10 times.... coz of hang... this mobile sucks... totally money weast....

  • only after receiving 15-20 msgs...it starts showing out of memory ..what to do?

  • The best and the cheapest phone by sony as they say which can perform task no one else can do like HANGING, RE-START, OUT OF MEMORY on every single task you do. sony will loose many customers cause they bring such a product in the market without any after sales service.

  • very bad phone. i've used it only 1 month & i've to sell it in very low price. totally waste of money. the problems are -hanging & restarting - very weak battery backup -no megabass .....& many more. (Dhaka, Bangladesh)

  • I wish i hadn't bought this phone, worst phone ever- spiro. It has too many problem. My money's wasted!

  • Well I bought the stupid phone and its a real piece of work... I mean if it ever works... hangs at the slightest of use and you can't even use the basic functionalities easily... like messaging or calling anyone, I even updated the software from Sony Ericsson and still no result... still hangs up a lot and is a pain in the ***.

  • The Walkman software and sound quality are of fine quality. Bluetooth is quite speedy. At first I experienced some hang but, when I went to options made the camera stores automatically to the microSD, and emptied the internal memory, it worked really well. Some specs are good e.g. can plug to loud speakers conveniently, uses microSD instead of M2 (W200, W205 etc.).

  • ,Worst mobile to be frank it doesnt give a good video clarity mp4 format doesnt work the mobile stucks up when we play mp4 format,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,­,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,­,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,­,,,,,,,,

  • i dont know wut u ppl talking about this phone is great..i only have lag issues

  • this too worst one dont go to this phone , it is a glitter

  • This is the worst mobile phone ever. I encounter these problems : 1. Keep lagging like shit. 2. Restart on its own without any reason 3. TrackID doesn't function very well. 4. The battery weak faster. 5. Messaging problem. Saved person's phone number with name. But, when SMS/MMS comes, it shows phone number only. Not the contact's name. Difficulty in finding who is messaging me. 6. Problem in volume. I regret to buy this handphone. Anyway, I didn't buy it from here. I bought it by myself at the phone shop. So, don't worry. I just share the experience.

  • sony ericsson rocks!! spyro sucks!!

  • very very worst piece dont buy anybody i face the experoience

  • multitasking???????? if it can do 1 task den dat would b a big thing!!! it can't even do 1 task properly!!! and for sms memory it can store 50 msgs!!! dats also not confirmed its specs says dat but i thing 40 willb its max limit.. i had dis phone and sold it 2 days later!!!! :)

  • good day everyone. i find this phone cute and i was planning to buy this since its cheap and can be used as a media player. with all these negative feedback, i want to ask those who experienced problems these questions: 1. what was your free phone memory during the crash/error(problem)? i mean the internal memory is 5mb and based on previous experiences with SE phones like k750, c510, and k500, the phone hangs and slows down a lot when the free memory is less than around 10% of its memory(say the specs says it has 40mb internal, when the free space is only about 5mb, i experience a lag/slowdown) 2. does it support multitasking? 3. does it have unlimited memory for SMS/MMS?

  • is it true?

  • same hear

  • Terrible phone. When I send a text message more than one message long then the message received by the other person is mixed with other text messages I sent. This cause problems since if I end one message to my girlfriend saying "lots of love" then thay may get added to a message I send to my boss!

  • W205 theme can be use too spiro....

  • yes it is..it troubles me a lot........

  • i m not haapy wid this fone...it hang every time....n also my msg's gt corrupted dont knw wt to do.....tired of this fone

  • i have the same problem

  • good day everyone. i find this phone cute and i was planning to buy this since its cheap and can be used as a media player. with all these negative feedback, i want to ask those who experienced problems these questions: 1. what was your free phone memory during the crash/error(problem)? i mean the internal memory is 5mb and based on previous experiences with SE phones like k750, c510, and k500, the phone hangs and slows down a lot when the free memory is less than around 10% of its memory(say the specs says it has 40mb internal, when the free space is only about 5mb, i experience a lag/slowdown) 2. does it support multitasking? 3. does it have unlimited memory for SMS/MMS?

  • My opinion is the same as many users, don't ever buy it. Its the worst phone i've ever had. *Doesn't play all the songs *Auto-restarts when you take a pic *Bluetooth error conection *It freezes a lot *And many other bugs

  • sony ericsson sucks...spiro sucks... please give back my money...you trick us...punctured model....

  • it really sucks.. i just hate spiro.. always hang......

  • Worst phone I ever seen before . Don�t buy it.

  • from where u update the software

  • i truly agree with that...... my advice is never ever buy spiro buy ceadar. walkman or not cedar is every bit excellent in video and audio playback with the walkman 4.0 embedded in it. the speaker is feeble though.but through headset,it can break your ear in the highest volumes along with that it got the best calrity audio output.

  • I totally agree with u....i had a naite for about 3months and in those 3months I had to take it to the service center thrice due to software issues...

  • hi, in Spiro how can i close the back light during call coz it just fads but not turnned of

  • It's a NIGHTMARE which lasts sooooooooooooooo long! It has many different problems that I can not chose which one to talk about and getting worse every moment that passes!

  • Wastage of money don't have phone mode to conect pc suit

  • Sony Ericson SPIRO SUCKS!....its a piece of shit!...so many issues!...bought for only a month and it goes already to a service center...SO MUCH BUG!....ITS A HELL OF A SOFTWARE PROBLEM!

  • Yes this phone shuts Frequently incases when -a video is being taken and saved -all times when u connect to A PC (a card reaDER IS BETTER TO USE) -some times when u are going through the menu swiftly and how can i overcome these and tHE TRACK id APPLICATIN WHICH IS BEING FORCED NON USER IS vry SLOW AND IRRITATING AND HENCE USELES useless game by cmpany but music quality is goood my advice is to buy if youu can copeup with theabove

  • My hobby is phones, I try them ALL. Firstly, Sony Ericsson do you not test your phones software before release? The Vodafone UK version has a faulty equaliser. 1. Mega bass DOES NOT FUNCTION. 2. You have to reset the equaliser settings each time you play a track! Ok, lets say it's Voda's custom rom whatever this is inexcusable totally. You need to recall ALL product!! While I mention SE, plwase get rid of the silly light sensor in your x10 mini, no ability to disable the darn thing. The alternating light levels are a nuisance, and as every other Android 2-1 handset has an option to disable why don't you?? (Actually, I'll address this just to Ericsson, Sony have I expect a few more important issues to be occupied with. My sincere condolences to those in Japan who lost their lives recently.)

  • i couldn`t set the equililer mode on treble boost every time i select a song it come to normal mode please someone help me

  • Buying dis fone was my biggest mistake it really gets hanged up frequently n applications are also slow seriously recommend the company to stop production of dis piece........Dissapointed by dis mobile

  • Really difficult to handle phone. It gets hanged up every now and then and restarts very often especially when the radio is switched on.

  • as long as I wear handpon sony ericsson sony ericsson ... this is the model of the system do a bit excessive .... unlike other models ... although the older model ... but a good system .... maybe sony ericsson want to make new changesto the the model new kinds of Spiro (w100) ... but the excess on the model is very pretty ni ... and exposure dimensions rather clear .... but strong swallow beteri power is too ....

  • Never Buy sony Ericsson Spiro. It has following problem 1. Restarts all the time 2. When I turn it on takes 1min to start 3. I can't change the appearance of Walkman 4. Can't install themes 5. When I use camera it restarts 6. There's no so many settings 7. PlayNow have no themes, games, applications to download 8. When I disconnect call it take 30 seconds to 40 seconds to disconnect phone 9. Many time it restart when I disconnect phone

  • Same here! Shows 'out of memory'..this phone suxx big time!

  • worst phone ever i prefer samsung better samsung is the best phone 1 ever had

  • Good Phone. Met with some problems before. After the update it is working superbly.

  • i have the same situation like u

  • After having problem getting the bst-33 battery for my legendary se w880i I bought a spiro yesterday. I was eager to see its walkman functionality but I was disappointed to see that it doesnt have megabass, though you can see it written in background in equilizer menu. I reiterate that the best music phone ever is se w880i. As such I think of using the bst-33 battery from the spiro in my 3years old w880i even though its battery cover wont stick to the phone(an old battery swelled and broke the cover locks, sadly). You want music phone, buy w880i, nothing less.

  • Very bad phone.. If i want to call someone, i need wait for five minutes to search the name in the contacts. For dialling also very slow. Many times it will shut down on its own. For me Nokia was the best..

  • about 5 time i had updated my mobile then also it hangs and it dosent support themes it do not have strong battry life

  • Very bad cell ever existed...i have purchased two months back and my cell keeps hanging often and i cant msg at all..always it shows out of memory...pain

  • Sony Ericsson Spiro �Keeping a shit pot in your pocket. 1) Battery � Good for a 15min duration call. Charge your battery if you want to attend any more calls. 2) If someone calls you they may hear as your phone ringing, but you may not because your sony ericsson spiro is not ready to disturb you. (Your relations may get broken). 3) Missed Calls � Yes, it will show your boss name if your friend has called you. (May help you to re-establish your broken friendship) 4) Most time your phone will be in emergency calls only mode. 5) Message � You can read old messages again when you try to read a new one. I don�t know how to express my distress. I have more and more to say but I am stoping here.

  • I've had this phone for about a week now and I'm very happy with it. I use an iphone 3GS as my primary device (personal calls, internet and email), but for work I needed a cheap phone with bluetooth. I carry out researcher and need a new number every six to twelve months for each research project so an unlocked phone (with bluetooth) was essential. The key plus points are: 1) Good battery life - lasts about a week with a couple of calls being made each day. 2) Cheap - £40 unlocked 3) Excellent signal strength 4) Bluetooth works well 5) Good call quality 6) Charges off micro-usb (finally an end to multiple chargers is in sight). 7) Build quality is good - nothing special, but well put together. Ok, so if you want internet access this is not the phone for you. I'm reluctant to call this a con as the phone isn't really designed for internet access. As a cheap simple phone with bluethooth connectivity its fine, but if you want more than the ability to make calls and send texts you'll want to look elsewhere.

  • All nokia phones act like spiro (lot of freezing and hanging), but only spiro and yendo - SE phones that acting like Nokia.

  • NOKIA IS BETTER THAN SE.Very bad phone made by se.it is hang every time.at list 5 time restart it.not support themes.

  • So having had memory card problems with a new Spiro (and other incidental problems), and updated to the latest software version as recommended - Sony Ericsson have come back and stated that the Spiro doesn't support Class 4 SD cards. Only up to Class 2. I not sure that I believe that as Class merely indicates what transfer speeds it is capable of.

  • spiro set is a bad series of sonyericsson,,, it,s music to good but message software very bad and after 2 month of purchesing cell hanged,,, if i do call anyone after that do sms then show out of memory again and again,,, really very bad experience....

  • Fake walkman phone spiro. its have no mega bass.

  • the lcd of my C510 was damaged recently. im considering cedar or spiro as a replacement.. i just want to ask if this phone supports multitasting and unlimited message storage like the SE C510. thanks

  • this is the original look . i like the model

  • Yeah you can say that again..

  • No more 4GB micro sd after the update...

  • Nice fone but very selective when it comes to sim cards.

  • sony ericsson is very good brand for mobiles but recently i brought spiro (w100i) it was really very bad in working,from 1st day onwards it was stracked when we open photos, music....etc..optinos.

  • in spiro you can use sony ericsson w890 themes!

  • ofcrs sony ericsson spiro...go for it!!

  • Now spiro is available with new updated software out of box.

  • hey spiro users there is a good news for u people...those who r havin probs with ur spiro must visit sony authorizd servc centr....they will make a software update and aftr that ur phone will run perfctly......sony ericsson srvc centr says that spiro was releasd wth untestd sftwr n due to this reasn it contains so much bugs.......so they recomnds that one should do a sftwr update from the sony ericssn servc centr aftr buyin this cute lookin phone.....updatin from intrnet is of no use....... SONY ERICSSON SPIRO ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • which is the best head set quality (good music) compare to sony ericssion spiro w100i and samsung c3300k champ. reply fast

  • go to hell with this phone!!

  • U guys r complaining abt this phone but it's u only who r making a wrong decision. Sony ericsson cedar costs just a little more and is million times better than spiro. Cedar doesn't have even a single problem. Awesome phone with awesome features.

  • only one thing to say "dont go for this one". message memory is limited, hangs again and again, cannot view large images, only one thing is positive i.e. its sound. thats it nothing else. better try some other, but please avoid this one. total waste of money...

  • sony erricson spiro will be available in national market bangalore for 1500/- only , one mounth used such a worst phone ......... dnt go for this

  • I bought this phone recently and its really cool.. I like the style and also the phone doesn't weigh that much.. It's easy to handle and not forgetting the sound clarity.. Sony rocks!!!!!

  • As all user comment it is not only one phone of this model by luck this problem occurred on every phone of this model don't waist your money on this phone

  • it so cheap phone produce by sony ericsson.i faced a lot of problem in it. just like a hanging,autoswitch off & when i try to send the message then it show out of memory.battery packup is not so good.nokia was best,nokia is best, nokia will best.its my blessing with nokia co.please its my request to my all friends never buy it.

  • it is worst mobile ,it has slow process speed low battery . some time it frees. dobagore mobile volume is very low compare than other company mobiles . i kindly request to all buyers dont buy it.

  • this mobile is worst mobile in sony series

  • Worst blady phone i have ever seen in sony....Please do not go for this....For me Rs 6000 loss....

  • I can't sent message Properly,In my experience other lower grade Sony mobiles are better performance.I tried to sent sent message on first day, but it is not possible. If I try to sent message that time shows your message box is full. All messages are deleted from Message box that shows same problem.If I get a miss call,that time handset will hang.At lest three four times I want to restart my handset.

  • this is worst phone which i hav seen. From the day one onwards i'm facing lot of problems and i don's hav time to go to service centres. When i am buying even the sales people they doesn't tell this is failure model. 1.Voice clarity is not good. 2.some times the phone is hanging while listening to music. I hav to switch off at that time. 3.Sending group messages is very irritating 4.Battery back up is very worst. Even one day is very difficult when we listening to music for 4 hrs. 5.Only look wise it is good enough. Better dont buy this.

  • really the problem is solving ah

  • Worst phone i ever owned, avoid it like the plauge. Sometimes only charges battery to 10% says it full. Battery sucks, runs flat after two days. Says memory full, when it really is not. Hangs/shuts off when listening to music or sending texts.

  • i have buy this phone after 4months ago. this is the world worst phone, that i have'nt seen. who will think to buy this phone i request you to dont buy this phone.

  • why my phone spiro after 3 day make master reset all if i did't do..my phone can't sent massage...

I try to update this software with PC, then i pressed "c" button (like the order), but i press it for 15 minutes, nothing happend. Some say that this phone made by SAGEM not SE, i dont know if it's true or not ? but when i read wikipedia, some SE phones are made by SAGEM..kpda ssiapa y bmnat nk beli...JGN BELI!! DONT BUY THIS PHONE!!! IT SUCK!!!!! TERRIBLE!!! only call in out r available,not for massages... shit phone! really bullshit!

  • is spiro prob free now aftr updatin??is there any new versn of software launchd which is free of bugs???? will it be problem free if i re-install the sftware from the sony ericsson site???plz help me.....

  • u can purchase this handset this is very nice phone i have used it

  • due to low internal memory of this phone must pepole have hang & restart problem, shame to sony, when there is no 8MB memory in the market, they limit free memory to 5MB! , the phone have not good battery function and using a external memory lead to phone consume more battery! if u have this phone, use a good quality external memory card and keep free internal memory to maximum space if u don't have this phone don't try to buy, and wait sony fix firmware bugs and user good feedbacks also cedar have not good music playback quality (like spiro) & speaker is weak,the big advantage of cedar is HSPDA two good alternative: for lower price go for Samsung C3200 Monte Bar good looking, good quality music player, good battery, good voice quality, good buttons for texting but speaker volume is in middle range for higher price range go for 5130XpressMusic, great phone at any section also I reminder don't try on nokia 7020, this phone have very low voice quality (thanks too good expression one of 7020 reviewers: "People (EVERYONE) says that I sound muffled or like I'm in a tunnel", also ring volume & vibrate is weak and calls & sms miss up easily

  • I had the same problem with the spiro not recognising that I had an sd card in it, even though I could see it on the computer and copy songs using a usb. My problem was solved immediately after completing the software update recommended on sonyericsson.com. I guess because the update is too big for the phone memory so it has to borrow a bit from the sd card, then the card has nowhere to hide.

  • this phone is really3 bad..i just use it for a week,and man,it is terrible.the camera is bad,the speaker is even worst!don ever buy this phone man

  • My spiro didn't come with a memory card and i bought a mem card for it in the hope that it would actually speed up - it didn't make it quicker or slower. I was in a phone shop recently and they said they wouldn't advise people to buy spiro due to the bugs. Another company advised that it needs regular software updates (and her iphone4 needs regular software updates - um? that is terrible!)

  • this phone camera clear?

  • i dont know what to do any more coz the phone frenz and went off

  • How to update it? Directly from the phone, or connect it to the PC and then update?

  • sony spiro is a very bad phone......dont buy this phone guys........

  • Guys No hard feelings... YeahSpiro is a bad ph.. Bt I did some research.. Format ur memory card and reset your ph.. The hanging problem will reduce to 70% But never surf internet on ur ph...

  • spiro..eewwww !!!

  • this phone is no good it works for about 2 weeks then turns off and when you get a message it comes up blank i will never buy another one.

  • frenz can u say me whether v can change the panel for this shit mobile.....

  • why does tis cel get off al the time????? it gets switch off n on automatically????

  • Don't buy spiro 1)It has lots of bugs, Useless software. 2)It does not support PC Suit. 3)Battery backup is low. 4)All other brands(Nokia,samsung etc.) in this price support PC Suit.

  • I cannot believe what a let down this phone is to sony ericsson. The phone has no particular way of ordering text messages or phonecalls. You can arrange texts by date but they then go into folders. The time and date is constantly going wrong - today (18th Jan 2011) it told me the date was 20th Nov 2010 - this meant that when messages were ordered by date the folders read "next month" and "next week" - so i'm getting texts from the future am i? The phone is very slow to the extent that the pre installed screensavers do not run smoothly. Also - when charging its as if it "forgets" its charging. The charger has to be turned off and back on again to get it to continue charging. Sometimes the battery stays charged for 3 or 4 days and sometimes less than 12 hours with the same useage. I am looking to replace as soon as possible!

  • this phone is kind of suck!! coz evrytime i transferred a music or picture in my memory card then it turns on and off!! god!! this phone dont accept a transferred files!! u must download a thing like music then saved directly to the memory card so that it will not turned to on and off!! based on what i had experienced. =]

  • it is possible to download both pictures and mp3 songs from a computer by using a cable, try: searchmp3.mobi/ and you´ll find lots of mp3 songs there and at: zedge.com you´ll find lots of pictures, this phone ain´t that bad..mayb it helps by if you activate factory-settings once with the phone..

  • Just got it for a day and its already faulty in less than 24hrs.. Keeps on powercycling by itself.. Not worth it.. Sad thing is that SE doesn't want to fix nor replace nor refund me for it..

  • too bad

  • They are lieing it's good

  • yukkkk

  • It is not so bad,it's good

  • fren jus give reset all settings...tat ll be ok....

  • worst phone every made by sony ericsson!!! i brought it for rs 4500/- and exchanged it the very next day. it has lot of bugs. what kind of walkman phone is this if there is no MEGA BASS option?? no pc suite connectivity. restarts a number of times. dont buy it if they give it for half rate also.

  • not good..this phone

  • wastet phone i ever seen

  • spiro=================waste phone

  • Where is Flashlight in this mobile?

  • I can't download games through this phone.

  • spiro sucks!!!!

  • which is best sonyE w395 or sonyE spiro,,and please tell which is best in internet,

  • I have use this phone 4 about 1 month..a few times run firmware update..but the last time I of my update, I try to change to chose another type of phone for update..after update nothing change..but I do not face any problem after that..

  • i updated my phone connected to the internet and now it doesn´t turns it self off anymore

  • LOL - I just managed to get my w205 replaced under warranty - was looking for a similar model. but from the reviews of this and my experience with the w205 I'm going to steer clear of sony ericsson low end phones. a shame since i love sony phones but just cant afford more than low end at the moment.

  • the gprs-reader isn´t that good but it´s possible to download opera mini version 4.1 to it at: m.opera.com by using gprs

  • a silly phone that restarts it self to make the battery-charge last longer, it´s not possible to download full mp3 songs either by using gprs as the memory-space is quite small and it doesn´t matter if you have placed a memory-card in the phone cause the only way to fill the memory-card with mp3-songs is to put the memory-card in a memory-cardreader in a computer, and it doesn´t work to fill the memory-card with mp3s when connecting the phone to a computer with a cable..good camera though..

  • I thought to buy it first, but after reading these reviews.... No way to buy.......

  • THANXXX guyz...even i waz supposed 2 buy Spiro...bt nw i'v totally changd my mind...Bt can any1 tell me whether samsung corby mate is better than Spiro or not???...w8in 4a reply...!!!

  • This product totally failed.

  • Wow.. i thought of buying spiro at first but after seeing all the review no way i'm gonna buy it.

  • what a cell its my worst experience the next day i bought it it got shut i never go for this sony erricsson cells its better the sony erricsson manger to shut his company and sit in his kitchen

  • may i download in dictionary ?

  • pls do a software update as the problem of hanging will be solved

  • sony ericsson is a highly deceiving and untrustworthy company ... time to change management ..very uncaring

  • I just bought this phone and the battery really drains fast. it wouldn't last for 2 days even if u won't use it. for a walkman fone which is primarily for playing music, it's useless because of its short battery life. mine also automatically shuts down. it won't open pictures with a large file size. it only looks great on the outside. i always thought that Sony Ericsson fones are the most durable among other brands but this fone proved me wrong. i hate it. please don't buy this phone

  • This phone has a good sound capability, BUT Sometimes he can open a picture, and sometimes, he CAN NOT OPEN THE SAME PICTURE??!!!! SE PC Suite is NOT SUPORTED for this phone CABLE for transfering media is NOT INCLUDED in the box All in all - stay AWAY FROM THIS PHONE, it has more bugs than jungle

  • just do master reset, i've been doing that for so many times if my spiro can't send and receive, useless phone

  • yes, you're correct, all the things you said happened to my spiro as well

  • Awful wastage of money. The battery life s too low... its for less than a day even if no calls are spoken. Is there any way to boost it atleast for 2 days?

  • I brought this phone before 1 months; It's my another cell from Sony..white pink one.. and it's really awesum.... I like it's design and features too.. SE rocks.. I luv Sony Ericson

  • SHAME OF YOU SE....This was my first Sony Phone & you made me go back to Nokia again...

  • guys..I have updated my phones software 2 times till now in last 3 months & now I can say that it became fit for purpose. Restarting and other bugs got solved just after updating. Good phone & sound quality btw.

  • Can you please update the same when the S/W available in SE site?

  • Whay cannot sand and resive mesej...?? IT say "The mesej is Courap"...!!!! I ned the answer...

  • the new software of this phn will be available soon which have no problem like restartin hanging net etc. so you can update your phn from the service centre

  • bought dis phone,looks hot,music's overhot,worth a shot!

  • I bought it for my bro's B'day, it is really sick.battery is getting down with in one day only if i use for calling.It turn off suddenly some times & bluetooth some times doesn't work...Really a bad experience..

  • Please don't buy dis phone it sucks!!!! if u love to waste money then you can opt for this!!! its battery never gets fully charged and it slowly decreases. u can check that in its phone's status. To increase it u have to master reset it which wil give maximum of 91% charged i've alresdy sold this phone. its ony gud for music its earphone's great

  • guys even i have the same problem!! Will the service center will give a way or wat can be done plz tell really sucks havng this mobile....tell me a solution people...is it possible to refund or exchange the mobile...?

  • i agree , this phone often restarts itself. its walkman suck!!often fail to playback.sometimes u cannot use the recorder.i have only bought this phone for a week and it sucks!!! :(

  • yes, this phone really sucks, it restarts itself often and hangs most of the time, the music is not good as well, the bass dont work, poor music quality and the volume is a problem also, the battery drains too fast, everyday i charge this phone even though im not playing music, so all those people who wants to buy SE spiro, read these reviews before you make a big mistake in choosing spiro

  • se must fix the walkman in spiro. its too bad.

  • spiro music quality sucks ya. even nokia 5130 has better sound quality than this. ti think by making such third class walkmans se doesn't want to stay in business. no megabass, no bass either, no adjustable eq presets. think they have hired some joker engineers who have no sense of music or what the walkman brand stands for. poor se. charge more money and update the bugs but give us a proper walkman.

  • yeah bass equaliser on my spiro too not working. unless se provides another update nothing can be done.

  • why is it that this phone restarts itself without anyone order . it very boring using it

  • I bought this phone for my wife, it's perfect for her basic calls and texting but the battery only lasts 2 days. Is this normal? the phone is hardly used, the brightness is turned right down, no wallpaper or screen saver etc. the only thing that I cant turn off is the small E above the signal strenth for edge I'd assume, don't know if it uses any power. Anyone else got poor battery life???

  • Attention all those who r planning to buy a 5k-ranged phone. BUY SONYERICSSON CEDAR. Although SPIRO luks slightly better than CEDAR yet if we cmpare both frm software perspective SPIRO is nothing in front of CEDAR. Cedar can store about 90,000+ msgs in its internal-memory ( + in memory-card) & also supports themes, equipped wid 3G, better camera, changable musicplayer themes, megabass, fast processor even wid an 8GB card, WidgetManager 2.0, preloaded maps etc. which r UNAVAILABLE IN SPIRO. If u want a phone wid decent luks and a completely satisfying post-buying user xperience, go 4 Cedar.......

  • 5 mb internal memory????? whaaaaaaaaaaaaay????

  • buy zylo. but spiro and zylo are different, from range and quality. spiro is a low end in price and also a lil' bit low in quality. not too different with W205 whichis slow response even fashionable. zylo is a mid-range walkman with some extra fiture. the price's not too high coz it comes without standard walkman headset, pc-suite and low-cost packaging. zylo is more recomended in recent walkman bloodline, even compares with yendo which comes with touchscreen. if you decide to to buy walkman branded, it means you buy for sound quality, not other fiture like camera or others. but if you're a music oriented and looking for a cheap walkman with good quality, buy W200. it's the cheapest but the performance's much better than W205 and W302, even compares with spiro and yendo.

  • @eypi: a phone sick.. same here i also encountered that b4 and other more deffect...

  • this phone cant viewed other incoming messages you need to exit and then go to inbox again to read some new messages... when you're in the conversation mode, it is so.. slow loading the messages... when it is full and u have to delete some messges it is always restarting again and again... i've changed this unit like 3x... but still the same!!!

  • yes... cedar is much better to use than spiro...

  • this phone is physically perfect but the software is not good... always restarting... sliding up looses... and the camera is deem and the picture shot was unclear when it sets to saving to memory card.

  • i Like this mobile, it's really superb model. Pls anyone give sugg. to play video by landscape mode. plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz tell me.............

  • try updating the phone ........... if problems persists sell your phone and buy a cedar or zylo

  • this phone sucks.it can't view pictures in landscape mode, it can't send more than one file at a time via bluetooth, and its ram is too damn tiny it sometimes can't handle simple stuff like replying to a message and you have to switch off and on the damn thing. I updated the software just last night, but to hell with the updates that do little to nothing.

  • Keypad of spiro is very good !
