Sony Ericsson Z555 - User Reviews

  • The callers info is shown on the external display, so no you don't have to open it.

  • Can one get new batteries. I have always founf this phone excellent but just recently I have had trouble recharging if battery hasrun out completely. Now I cannot get it to charge at all. Hazel Spear.

  • Does it display the caller's ID on the second external display when somebody calls, or you should open the phone to see the number? Please, respond!

  • is third class mobile as compare to samsung

  • i cnt use the camera of my z555 anyone hu can give me the exact price ?

  • i cnt use the camera

  • i cant sent and recieve calls? hows that???thank you

  • I am sure that if you can make it rain then you could also make this phone available in Australia =D

  • Features are attractive except sound quality. Keypad is very good.

  • I love this phone so much, in my view I think it's PERFECT!

  • This is surely one of the best looking mobile phones around. But the praise ends here, because the rest of it is sheer rubbish. It needs recharging every few hours, it switches off at random, the sound and the ringing is very week, the software is very complicated and user unfriendly. I didn't notice any more deficiencies because I threw it in the rubbish bin.

  • it is beautiful but sound is very less.keypad is very bad.

  • it is beautiful but sound is very less.keypad is very bad.

  • i love my z555i, it has a stilish design. But there are some faults-video making-no and it doesn't play videos in landscape view. Sometime it hangs and it auto turn off. But it design is very good and it also cheap in rate. The gasture control function is greatest utility of z555i

  • Using this phone for more than year and a half now and don't have any complain. Best and most beautiful phone ever!

  • This is the most beautiful phone i've ever had, but it's also the DUMBEST one. Bad signal reception, battery dropped easily, slippery keypad, bad speaker. It broked easily, esp. the flex cable. I repaired the cell less than a month after i bought it. My conclusion: 3/10. Not reccomend, unless you just need for style.

  • its a beautiful phone... great looks,body with display..gesture control. but 3/10 sound.. less signal reception weak charging point no video rec. but useful for rough conditions ive used it for 2 years.. ill give it 4/10

  • JUNK! Bought this phone in febuary of this year.It drops every call! No RECEPTION!

  • this piece of shit id completely useless. 6 months : speaker doesnt work. camera doesnt work. cant make calls. the friggin gesture control thing didnt work the third day. buy it!! :)

  • omg ! the best looking phone ever...beats prism !! this phone also appears in the movie quantum of solace..truly beautiful phone...

  • What is the price and availability status in India???? Is this phone any good??? Where does it stand in comparison with Nokia 6650 fold and Samsung S3600?

  • hello, i'm using this phone for 2 months now. to tell the truth the phone is not so good for me but its only capable for a second phone since i got my e 63. i will give you the review about this phone: 1. very stylish design, the front panel looks cool n stylish. i used a black one and the front panel looks style and nice. 2.cheap price. i live in malaysia and it only cost rm 300. i think is only 75 euro. My friend don't believe that this phone is only 75 euro, they thought the price is rm 500( 125 euro i think) 3. it has a hidden led screen it displays battery indicator,time and silence icon if you put the phone to silence. oh if you use the music player it will displays the music that is been played and it works on call or message too. 4. it has gesture control, you can wave it on the lens cover( when the lights under the lens is lit though) and the phone become silence for making calls or snooze for alarm clock. its pretty fun to do. Cons: 1. sometimes it hangs, lags and it hang and i have to take the battery out and put it back in. my e 63 doesn't have any problem about this. 2. the gesture control sometimes it doesn't respond. and again it hang when i want to make call.( sometime it happened like that) 3. the one mega pixel picture quality is not that great either. its oversharp image, coloring is really bad because the image has more on white color and the contrast is very low. 4. audio quality on the phone is the worst of all handset i have ever own.my first phone Nokia e 63 has even better audio quality(100 times better). the bass is high but distort when i increase the volume second before maximum, the vocal is good but it distorted when i set the volume to max and the treble is also distorted when set volume to max. just now using the loud speaker but in headphone i am really surprised when i insert the headphone when i set it to maximum, the sound distort very badly, the bass is completely distorted but the vocal and treble is ok. I tried used several high quality headphone and stereo boom box( high quality one i use x mini boom box) it remain the same result. the bass is disturbingly distorted. i cant believe that this phone has a worst audio quality. 5. as for calling volume, is really good but it distorted when set it to maximum. quite bad distortion. nokia e 63 has a better clarity calls. 6. now i have a new problem using this phone. it started couple of days ago. the battery draining fast even though i didn't use it that much. it only stand 2 days and the battery goes flat, when i first buy this phone it can stand for 1 week. 7.the front panel is scratch easily and it is finger print nightmare and the smudges is really hard to clean. conclusion: i really don't reccommend this handset for everyone, but i f you want a cheap second handphone for any personal doing get this phone or nokia 2690 which has better audio quality,3.5 mm audio jack and memory card up to 8 gig and it slim and light. so i think after my money is enough i trade this z555 to buy nokia n86 8mp. so im going back to nokia. so that's all my honest review and good day and assalamualaikum

  • I have been using this phone for about 18 months and have no complaints whatsoever. The phone is stylish and functional and the texting is nearly as good as my old O2 Ice - fab. dictionary and really easy to use. Only possible downside is the camera - only 1 megapixel but I bought this as a PHONE not a camera so that is no concern to me. Would definitely recommend this phone.

  • i have had this one for over an year now and its not that bad, man . . . the front panal gets scratched easily . . . but the rest is just good . . . i dont know abt others but i luv my z555i . . . a couple of application downloads n it gets much better

  • Purchased this handset in Dec 2008: Worst phone ever: 1) Booked 4 times for repairs. Each repair took 20 days with repeated calling for status of repair. 2)Bad speaker. 3)Keypads are the worst(Constant issue's) 4)Overall worst creation from sony

  • i had bought 1-june-2008.i have used 4 months.then repair and more stress for me.now i have keep the dust pin that mobile.so who dont bug this mobile.............

  • hy...... I have this mobile phone and it is really bad.. camera is really bad !!!! and sound too !!! :(

  • I just purchased one for my 15yr old, and I am wondering if it is worth it. You would think If you have a contract with a cell phone company you would recieve some type of discount on the purchase of a replacement phone the advantage to having a contract,right. I look forward to cell phones becoming more disposible only then will they be affordable.

  • i bought mine maybe five months ago, black.. i'm in love with the design!!!! BUT few months after purchase the gesture control light wouldn't switch off so it drained the battery... hadta get it fixed THEN the microphone stopped working too... got that fixed as well.... but now the earpiece is annoyingly high pitched and not clear... but i guess that's the repairman's fault.. i guess i forgot to mention i dropped it quite a few times... that's probably why it was faulty :P but i have never had any problems with its performance... the camera quality is okay, could have been better. but all in all i like this fone =)

  • The diamond style on the front side trap mefor"ITS BEAUTY".But it is a real wastage of money.So be aware of it

  • I purchased 3 of these phones for family members. As I type I'm out hunting for other phones. The keys break in half. All have been in for repair with no positive results. 2 have alredy been replace by different company. Mine will be next. There was a time when they made a good phone. I can say, do not waste money, this phone sucks. And that's saying it nicely.

  • its only beautiful, but this phone really su**!! waste of money! dont u buy this phone.. i just bought it and i really2 regret it..

  • this is a stylish phone.i bought it for 40 euros.it works fine.the headphones are good,baterry also.i like the gesture control.it is a nice and friendly little phone.

  • This is a fu**** phone. Do not ever think about this phone. I serviced this phone 7 to 8 times in one year. I was facing the connecter problem ( Charger & Headphones). Every time they said we changed the connecter & after 2 months the same problem persist. On call loudspeaker quality is very bad. S/W is bit outdated. Gesture control is very good option but that wont be a reason buy this phone.

  • it not that good we didnt expected from sony ericsson company the speaker and camera is not working just pathetic dont ever take this cell wast of money

  • well darling thats a technical issue ...consult the company or the people you bought ur phone from ..

  • I have a Sony EricssonZ555, it's been working really well, actually i love this phone. I had encountered a problem with the phone 4 months ago. When there is an incoming call, i could hardly tell because the ringing tone is not working and worst of all i could not hear the person talking. Need help here, Is there anyway where i could get this thing fixed?

  • it has a lot of problem, not recommended at all

  • my favrit is the w995 luv the kickstand!!!

  • its good....

  • I purchased the Sony Z555 because it looked great and had everything I wanted. I had very good luck with my previous Sony phone and liked the fact that I wouldn't have to relearn all of the buttons. I have had my Z555 since Dec 2008, not a year yet. About three to four onths ago I started having alot of trouble. First, the buttons for call and menu are not working half of the time. I usually have to push them several times to get them to work. The menu button is broken in four places so does not work well and has also let dust in under my screen. I also have trouble with the phone turning itself off for no apparent reason. I missed a very important call because of this glitch. Of course, I didn't purchase the maintenance plan from my cell phone carrier so I am stuck with this phone for another year after Dec. It is a very poorly made phone and I would not recommend it.

  • sont ericsson w395 is the best model in sony ericsson ,which supports 4gb ,2 M.P,and sound is very loud

  • Can it be compared with k750i

  • This phone's camera does not even record video. Check out the Samsung B2100 Xplorer. Rugged phone with a lot of other features.

  • Hi Sanu, if you want a good phone in Rs. 4500-7000, then I would suggest you go for another phone. The Z555i looks good but performs poorly during calls. Barring this, it's fairly good set. If you want a good SE phone in this range, then the W300i or the Z550i will be good alternatives.

  • hey guys, i m sanu frm orissa.i saw se z555 very good.but after reading the reviews,i am in a trouble,pls can any 1 tell me that which is the best phne in sony between a price range of 4500-7500.pls help me?i m a student & i want to buy my first phone!! i want a decent battery (since i m in a rural area)music player,good camera,and a strong body. if any 1 want to rply then rply me at [email protected] .waiting for ur openions.

  • i hav a problem with this phone.. when i hear fm radio the headphone sound is good.. but when i hear mp3 4m music player it hav distortion.. pls tell anybdy how 2 solve this prob

  • this is an extreamly stupid phone I've aver come across don't waste ur money on this toy I think this was made for children to play with.maybe sony ericsson should recosider making mobile phone and start making toys.

  • just go to the nearest hubs or downloading station in your place , such as computer stations, or to the nearest business center or service provider for java games download

  • can someone tell me hw to install games in this phone... i've tried all tyes of format, but its not working... can u pls tell me the website frm which i can download so that it'll work........?????????

  • The volume of the speakers is very low.uve gotta have a very powerful ears to use this phone so that u dont miss ur calls.the battery is weak.the network sensor is poor.its not worth it coompare to its price.

  • press the volume button..its provided at the side.. once press ringer silence... Incase twice Pressing Call Will Be diconnected..

  • press the volume button..its provided at the side.. once press ringer silence... Incase twice Pressing Call Will Be diconnected..

  • Baigan ka phone, I saw personally...Instead of this go for Nokia 2760 only memory is less but good deal...better than this phone..My review is based on 2 months of extensive research..many problems with this phone and no spare parts available incase of repair..

  • press the volume low button provided at the side. one press - ringer silence twice - diconnect

  • It goes into emergency calls only mode very quickly when the signal strength is only slightly weak where as with other phones in the same area with the same sim card you can still make calls. Although it has voice recording you cannot record a telephone call. The good part - I use the alarm a lot and the gesture control is a real blessing, The radio is excellent, the phone feels classy and compact to hold in the hand.

  • hey..i've just purchased z555 yesterday..though i've activated the "gesture control" but while getting an incoming call and moving the hand over the phone, it doesnt go on silent mode...also, i faced another problem..while getting a incoming call, the call is automatically picked as i open the flap..i can't disconnect, if i've to ignore any number......plzz help ([email protected])

  • whats the price of memory stick micro m2 2gb for this phone?

  • I purchased this phone about 8 months ago, and I wish that some of the opinions were on here before I purchased the phone as the sound on my phone stopped working about 2 months ago. The charger has to be moved around before it charges the phone. The phone would freeze and randomly turn off by itself even when the battery is fully charged. And now when I turn it on the screen is black and nothing comes on the screen but the key pad lights up when the phone is turned on though. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone after reading everone else's reviews.

  • i like sony ericson sooooo much.....i wanna buy z555....

  • Can I call you...please..else can you buzz me at 9989932226..sorry for the trouble..

  • Thank you..will not go..You saved my credit card..

  • PEOPLE, compare nokia prism with this one... SE was the first one to release the phone, and PRISM is the copy!!!!

  • hello.well i want to buy a good fone which should be in the range of 8000-10000...but only of sony ericcson...thought of z555 but aftr reading the reviws i felt its nt gud..plz suggest me any other fone but not touch fone..it would be better if it is slim and sliding

  • if u want to purches z555 so plzzzzzzz do'nt go for this ...........

  • Hi can you tell me the performance of this phone.. I am planning to buy it soon...Is it worth buying.

  • hi All, I am planning to purchasing this Z555 (black color)phone soon as a gift for my friend. Could you please let me know how is the performance of this phone. I am always used to Nokia and its sturdiness. Please let me know your opinion.THis phone is not available in entire hyderabad and am searcing all the shops.

  • its very good. but there is no vedio recording

  • I purchased 26.12.2008 Sony Ericsson Z555 from Wavetel, Nungambakkam branch. Past 10 days Ringer problem. I handed over to Wavetel on 20.04.09 for rectification. But there is no response and very bad service to the customer. One of the worst cell phone of sony ericsson which I purchased. Sorry to write on this. Kindly help me get back my phone after rectification from Wavetel. IMEI No.35306321367363

  • Hi, please does the diamond black has momery card/chip and can i get this type here in Australia? i hope u answer me now please? thank u charity

  • its nothing in here..... why??????

  • my phone freezes up to i know i payed way to much but didnt have much of a option i live in a small town with very little choices

  • Brought this phone couple of month ago.At present i'm without this handset for past 10 days,Reason the audio on the handset will not play. When any audio played,You would only be able to hear it on the ear piece. Hell knows when will i receive this handset back. Also handset freezes/Switches off randomly. Bad experience

  • I've had this phone for about 5 months and already the sound has gone I can hear it if I put it right to my ear but apart from that I have to have it on vibrate and keep it close where I can feel or hear it vibrate. Everything else works perfectly fine, just a pity about the sound, and no I didn't wet it. Has anyone else had this problem?

  • i only been using this phone for about a week. Everything is so far so good. I did not expect much special functions from this phone, so I would say it works good enough as just a PHONE after all, with the little extra for me to "ebaying" via WAP just like many other phones I have used lol. The battery life is not bad, I dont like to talk on the phone much, but i do often surf online or just play games on phone for a long period of time. And the battery could usually last about 2 - 3 days without charging. Camera quality isnt that bad when there is enough light, but you really cant compare a cam phone quality to an actual camera. The speaker is very weak and so much noise. The screen is pretty small... *even my 63 yrs old dad says the same thing lol* but other than that, it is just simply a good phone for everyday use if all you need is simply just a PHONE

  • yeah u can inser m2 up to 2 gb

  • hi i love this phone it seems good looking

  • no this is impossible

  • I have had two of the same phone within 2 months and both times the battery went completely dead and now wont hold a charge even to turn it on. This is a terrible phone. Only buy this if you want to get ripped off. F-----------------------------------------------­------------------------------------

  • u can't, its build tht way, u alwayz ve 2 press a button for the clock 2 show

  • ace+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++­++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++­++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++­++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++­+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++­++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  • Is it possible to set the clock to be displayed on the external screen all the time, without having to press a button to bring it up?

  • This thing looks horrible,like it's got some kind of batman mask over.

  • luv it....its dynamic themes suffice me 4 ze whole year,cool....like s500i 2

  • Yes, up to 4gb

  • How to connect the phone to the computer,what is the requirment and price of the device ?

  • I have question, About m2 card up to??? 2 Gb do can or not?

  • hey, am an SE maniac too. Ive had all SE's from my first phone to my last phone " W710". However the motherboard cracked recently and i had to put it back in my drawer where my other SE phones lie. So anyways, am all up for a new sony ericsson but am kinda dead set on a flip phone. I really want to buy another W710

  • It should consist video capture facility.

  • is memory card free with this hanset........??

  • is there memory card free with this mobile???

  • up to 12 MB of internal memory, expandable with memory sticks

  • How much is the expandable memory...?? Its written as Micro M2 Slot,what does that mean ??

  • Hi to all , i m using this phone for a month now, its loud , louder than my previous nokia 6300 only two problems , firstly the gesture control feature is not working anymore although it s on.Also when somebody calls it flashes only once and then I dont see any more flashes when lets say missing a call. Finally the battery life is not 360 hours it s supposed to be.It seems it getting empty after some use like sending messages or playing an mp3.This is why I m not using the mp3 player or the radio. Hope it doesnt freeze , my friend has a sony ericsson as well and told me that it after 5 months of use it cannot be switched on and when it does it keeps on freezing while trying the menu.Its a simple and decent phone I would say.

  • im contemplating on getting this phone. but the thing is im so used to using my conventional nokia phones and im afraid the different messaging keys (bottom 3) in SE will annoy me.

  • im contemplating on getting this phone. but the thing is im so used to using my conventional nokia phones and im afraid the different messaging keys (bottom 3) in SE will annoy me.

  • YEAHH i used to have thiss phone itss amasingg and its very girly,, BUT it got stolen,, if you want to talk more about itt then add my msn [email protected]

  • This phone looks really cool. The dusted rose one is on my xmas list!

  • dis fone is sik as.

  • Anyone using this mobile?..If yes, your comment on this

  • looks like nokia 2650

  • can anyone tell me what coverage this phone falls under

  • Please any1 tell me Is this phone has full screen option for viewing videos and does this phone support mp4 format.

  • pls can any one give me the volume expand code in speaker for z555

  • It's great, stylish and professional. I am using it and would recommend it to those who likes simplicity but maintaining the professionalism. Great as a 2nd or backup phone.

  • be realistic guys this is a spare phone. what can you expect. its working great as a spare phone everything is fantastic already.

  • Z555 Poor Value Mobile Phone Cons: Ringtone Volume too low (miss calls) Main Screen: Too Small and not very sharp Keypad lighting: Next to none existant Music Player: Horrendous. The old SE K310 had a better music player. Camera: Would have been better left off (and replaced with stereo sound speakers to boost sound output) Design: A clear rip off, of the design of the Nokia Prism Phones (showing lack of originality from Sony Ericsson). The Samsung J700 offers better value than the Z555. More life even in the old Mandarina duck which is now elderly but at least you can hear it going off. Z555 is one to avoid (Sony Ericsson you know you can do better).

  • I dont see the bads in this phone? i own one and have had it for a month now REPLY TO POST it doesnt video and the camera will only zoom on 320x240. the speaker is not very loud at all, but really who likes to put it on maximum and annoy everyone around them? i think my battery is bodged, it lasts roughly 2 days with normal use in calls and to some postives the phone really attracts people the small "invisible" diplay is very aesetic the camera is decent the themes are very nice the gesture control is over rated but still fun to play with the camera led lights up when people call in its cheap

  • this is horrible, its all you need to know.

  • can ne1 plz temme how to zoom de picture and make it bigger...after its clikd....???plzzzzzzzzz help me.

  • Please somebody help me,shall we record videos in this phone or may i go for z550???

  • i bought one but it has malfunctions hangz , countinues vibration...i don't know why !

  • actually i m not impressed with the battery....it needs to be charged everyday especially if u hear music using this phone

  • its a nice looking phone....its mp3 sound quality is good...picture quality is also good....abt the keypad its hard to press sometimes but its okay....it doesn't have a video recorder.

  • Anyone please give info about the mp3 sound quality,picture quality,keyboard of Z555.Does it have Video Recorder?

  • can sum1 plz tell me hows d baterry long last..

  • hey guys can any1 plz tell me hows the battery life of this fone? can we talk continuosly for 4-5 hours?

  • i bought one and i think it is great.what else could youwant from a phone,

  • dont beucase it will start sticking,put 1 GB.

  • yes i agree ur desisyon about this phone coz we have any phone thier that has more features like samsung.the number one?And others phone that has more more features compare this phone guyz..

  • go for it of u r a messagin fan

  • i suggest you buy another phone cuz this phone is not well equipped. and there are alot of other phone at the same price range that has more features. the screen is also small.

  • I like this phone's look. I'm the message fan and like the high performance. So, should I buy this phone?

  • Remember that S.ericsson is going 2 release C905(1st 8 Megapixel) fon. So, whenever nokia releases its 8MP fon, it would be the worst 'copy-cat' in the world!!

  • Can you give me your advice, plz? I like this phone's look, especially the pink one. should I buy this phone if I'm the message fan and I like high performance ? I read somewhere its quailty of voice, is it true?

  • clear cut copy of nokia prism series,what sony ran out of ideas.hell yeah thats y u lost 2 LG

  • Hmmm, sounds like Peter may have had his ear drums (and possibly his brains) damaged by his prior Nokia and LG phones. Dude. Turn your phone volume DOWN. Seriously.

  • I believe when they said "diamond" it was going for a "shiny" appearance -- diamonds are more known for shimmering then being simply "clear."

  • it does have...they just aren't in the same place as other phones, sometimes they're on their own separate middle bar.

  • this totally satisfaction guaranteed technology but this more reliable if only dual sim active reader. i love sony ericson if they do that....

  • ong the battery life on this is amazing

  • STAY AWAY from the Z555!!! It sounds truly horrible, and I have owned numerous LG phones, a Motorola, plus even another model Sony before, and this is the absolute WORST sounding cell phone I have ever heard BAR NONE, totally MUDDY and DISTORTED on all calls. Plus you practically have to be a computer engineer to set it up. It is a piece of garbage!!!

  • overall not bad but the sometime u may feel fed up with the keypad cause it hard to press sometimes.. but there are big problem with the audio part...the voice too soft~

  • Does anyone know about the picture quality??? this phone is quite interesting one....

  • just go to setting n turn on the gesture control...if u wanna try put the alarm on and wait till the alarm ringing after that u'll see light from right under the camera..n try to shake ur hand above the light left n right...n the alarm will snooze off automatically...

  • Cheap and nasty finish. Flimsy. Disappointed in Sony Ericsson.Should have stayed with the Z3210i

  • Can download software? i wanted to download SMARTGUARD. So that i can lock my messages and other applications.

  • I wanted to know how to activate gesture option.

  • Does Anyone know a program or a way to remove that annoying sharapova wallpaper that appears everytime you turn off this mobile phone? i'm fed up with it! That girl belongs in the fed cup and not in my mobile phone.

  • how many z555 is manufactured in this month any one knoe about that

  • ya it support 2 gb

  • Hey, Anybody tell me whether I extend the Memory Card to 2GB r not?

  • its very easy to learn.sound effect is not better to others

  • I think the design is nice. Just wandering, can this Z555 used as a modem?

  • i have this phonw for over 2 weeks now..i love it! its slim,beautiful,smart..it has a 1.3mp camera, a cardslot, so u can stuck loads of mp3s, the battery is amasing..i talk alot on the phone, and the battery lasts 4 days..the external speaker is not loud, but its enaugh if u dont listen to music threw them.gesture control is just funny, i never used it for real.oh..i was impressed cuz on the back of the phone there are 4 lil legs,2 rubbered(anti-slipping:P) and 2 plastic, so the phone wont scrath on the back..its an amasing phone, and i recommand it to anybody who doesent want any sofisticated technology...just..phone performance.

  • Hey. The gesture control is used by waving your hand over the phone back and forth. Place the closed phone on suface, call phone or set off alarm, wave hand over phone. It will stop ringing.

  • Does anybody knows how this Gesture Control works? what movement should i do to stop the phone ringing?

  • It's Handsom and New Look for Next genaration.

  • Be sure with the features.. This phoe doesnt support video camera option.. Camera can only take still upto 1 mega pixel only..

  • I adore almost all of sony ericsson's phones because they have great designs, awesome cameras, mp3 players and are generally easy to use. this phone is not one of the nicest though its pretty mediocre ^^

  • Compared to my Samsung D900 and Motorola RAZR, the Z555i has better voice clarity (though speakerphone is a bit weak). Sound and music quality, in general, is mediocre. Picture quality is mediocre, especially compared to the D900, which is about 3 megapixels. However, I have a 10MP digital cam with some great digital and optical zoom...I never really regarded a cellphone as a substitute camera. Design is attractive, though a little feminine, even the Black Diamond version. I'm not sure why it's constantly being compared to the Nokia Prism. The z555 only has that reticulated design on the front (none on the keys or the back), and it's much more subtle compared to the Prism. The z555 only works on a 2G, 3 band network. Gesture control is not as receptive as I wanted. Also, when a call comes in, there is a small diamond-like light that shines on the front that is very bright, and the "phantom" display on the front is also attractive. Quite eye-catching. So why get it? It's attractive, and a simple to use basic phone for a "moderate price" (under $200)

  • A phone realeased in 2008 with a camera only 1.3 megapixel? Give me a good reason to change my 2mp phone for this "gesture" thing, and get bullied by the nokia guys becasue this phone is released after prism. Bad decision SONy ERICSSOn!!!!

  • @ Pankaj; the estimated talk time hours is up to 8 hours and 20 mins.

  • What is the real time talk time hours of Z555? I am using this phone but just want to confirm from your experiences.

  • Got mine today, (black colour), all i can say is what a fantastic phone!!! looks the part, the phones themes are everchanging, brilliant!!!!

  • This is one dumb looking phone!

  • This phone is out on this site! It is a norwegian site.

  • Great innovation from SE, both in Design and Technology, this cool phone has a feature which no other phone in earth has. that is 'Gesture control'- Simply wave your hand over the phone without touching to mute an incoming call or to snooze ur alarm. this will obviously open up new doors of technology.

  • z555 is released , just got the mail from se's site

  • is this a flip phone or? i tink is nice! it look so elegant taking this phone... i wanna buy it but when is it comin out? has this phone come out already? in singapore?

  • Great design but 1.9 inches screen is too small. However, i will buy one.

  • this phone is a beautiful looking phone but the price should be mentioned for all the pones so that it is easier for the buyers to choose the phone according to their budget.

  • Don't even compare your UGLY Nokia prism that looks like a remote control for television with this elegant phone and Z555 is much better design than your ugly bulky NOkia prism

  • guess it's obvious to anyone this has the same design language as the nokia prism... just this is a clam shell, and some different details ofc. but seeing the real phone it didn't have the same build quality and material...compared with 7900 at least

  • Well if were to choose a color bet. black and dusted rose, I would rather choose the color "dusted rose" for this phone.

  • looks a little bit like nokia prism series

  • More features: FM Radio with RDS TrackID

  • it's wndrful.. n i think, it'll complete if sony ericsson show it price also....

  • SE rules and Go to Sony Ericsson!!! New generation for Sony Ericsson...

  • nice phone and I have one of this phone and chose the color silver bec. it's good looking when the color is silver! cool phone and well built design!

  • this is for Beeeeeeppppp click on the 360 view and u gonna see it open

  • a good contender for nokia 7900 prism

  • Ericsson announces new multi-processor mobile platform powerhouse Posted by Will on Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 at 2:52 pm under Technologies, Sony Ericsson, Announcements It's all about all-in-one powerhouse mobile platforms these days. Multiple processors, high-megapixel camera support, high-speed data support, mobile TV, 3D gaming - the trick is getting all that power integrated into a single platform. Ericsson has just gone live with their very own powerhouse mobile platform, the Ericsson U500 (not pictured). With a next-generation architecture that leverages triple-processors and a multimedia subsystem (think TV, gaming, video, music, the works), the Ericsson U500 "is a powerful multimedia platform with performance, graphics and usability, more resembling a mobile computer than today's mobile phones. With the U500 platform Ericsson will keep its world leading position within the multimedia mass market for years to come," according to Robert Puskaric, head of Ericsson's mobile platforms business. Three ARM11 CPUs, hardware accelerators, integrated digital baseband and multimedia chip (on a single processor die), and increased efficiency combine to deliver a mobile platform that can handle a 12 megapixel camera, high-quality video recording, WVGA display, 3D gaming, 3D UI, high-resolution video, and CD-quality audio performance - all in a single package. Talk about a mouthful. The point in bringing all these components together in a single die is that it will result in lower prices and greater efficiency - two things we're big on over here. It looks like the near future will be filled with mobile devices that last longer while doing more. We're looking for Ericsson to launch their U500 mobile platform in the 1H 2009. Full press release.

  • really good fone. i think i will buy it after 10 yrs

  • this phone is some sort of the later generation of SE z558i, may be the front cover a little prismish but cannot judge it by that... and let say it a copy from other brand, so what the big deal about it every barnd try to get on the winning boat... like moto razr and krzr... did u see nokia also try their hand on tha design.. so stop what phone copy from what phone... and FYI i like SE because of no answer and end call button.... if SE have tha same button like other phone so what unic about SE anymore.... SE Rock!!!!

  • this phone is an amazing joke.

  • i think it looks great! btw, SE is so much better (in terms of both design and functionality) as compared to Nokia..

  • My friend tell me Z555 is beautiful and slim for the boy and girl .

  • Geez...how ugly can one phone be?

  • SE fones reeks i mean some of their models dont even have call/end keys like dis one? aint any1 noticed dat i mean why is it called a fone if it doesnt have call/end keys duh?

  • this phone is not copied from NOKIA and you are just trying to say that bec. you have nothing to do but ruin the image of Sony Ericsson and built-up your stupid NOKIA phones which are ugly phones!

  • the design and features would put this phone in the fashion side, but i think SE could have done better

  • ya i agree with QiangQiang stop saying copy from nok..

  • pls la where g0t c0py.. st0p sayin this ph0ne design c0py fr0m n0k prism la.. u guys r just jeal0us man.. if u all really think this design c0py n0k then g0 n l0g a rep0rt l0l d0n stay here sayin rubbish.. ;)

  • This phone is copied from he panasonic vs3.Same 1.3mp camera,same no front screen,same stylish cover.Its a copy.

  • love this phone and the nokia prism, great design!

  • thisss mobileeee ROCKSSS ! ! ! ! i seriouslyy likee it , its quiett fancyy ! Ummm its got the looks, the design , everything ! except the camera :'( Whyy theres nothinn perfect ! am really considerin the z750, but dunno bout its sound quality so nyidea ?

  • Man, this is classic and sophisticated design ! Finally a phone that does'nt look like a regular phone. Cool ! It's not a copy... So what if it has diagonal lines in the design ? That is a trend. Nokia and SE designers are influensed by same things. But SE did it much better !!!

  • it's not OK!!! copied from nokia-prism. prism have 2mp cam,it have 1.3mp. screen also BAKVAAS not suit to sonyericsson

  • vGAK what do you mean by this? "se is the only company which is yet to announce a smartphone i hope they do it fast" - How about the W960i, P1i, P990i, M600i, W950i etc...

  • this phone is da bomb diggity! yes sony ericsson copied from nokia but who cares nokia sux and sony has made this phone look better with lots of better features ...so go sony!!!

  • Copy!!! But also nice...

  • i think this touch screen phone will get market and give sonyerricson company a huge amount of money

  • the nice mobile in the world! who is saying bad ,i think is mind is very bad than this mobile.

  • Don't care if this is a copy or not, iit is definately much nicer looking than the Nokia 7900(which is damn ugly)!

  • To all the people out there this phone is cool and this is not a cheap fone and for your information Sony Ericsson does not copy fone from othe mobile phone like samsung and nokia phone! Sony Ericsson creates new version of mobile phone for a new generation and they do not copy other mobile phone period...

  • The color black of this phone which is original made by Sony ericsson is cool they do not copy other color's like Nokia phone! they invented this because they want a new version color of Sony Ericsson! and this is cool!

  • FEATURE: Colors Diamond Black, Dusted Rose WTF!!! from what i know diamond is clear well sum r red we call blood diamonmd but i never heard there is a color called "diamond black" try to make a fancy color just make them look stupid!!

  • What do you mean "support very bad", I�ve had Sony Ericsson�s for over 5 years and I find that the support is EXCELLENT, www.sonyericsson.com has all you need for your phone, Update Service is great, software downloads, language pack for Smartphone extreamly easy to use and no need of flashing the phone...I currently have a P1i and a W610i both phones are Excellent Devices, recommend them 100%...

  • i want to see it open.... any one have picture of it flip up please mail it to me please... i want to see the inside because i want to see whether this model still use the back and clear button... that button the only uniqeness of SE

  • I wonder what's the problem in releasing a GMS version of a cool nice looking clamsheel they have in Japan? They look much much better in my opinion. Looking at the profolio here seems SE has to go a long way to make a nice looking clamsheel.

  • make it to be able to hold double sim cards respectively

  • pls la wh0 say se is c0pyin NOK7500.. this ph0ne lo0ks m0re pretty then tat n0k 7500.. go0d w0rk SE..

  • se is the only company which is yet to announce a smartphone i hope they do it fast

  • Sony Ericsson phones are very nice, but support verybad

  • is SE gonna release another super fone like k850 or w960 this yr??...dun think so...

  • naming this phone as Z555 is no incident, since technically it looks almost the same as Z550i. I have z550i, and im kinda happy with it - nice design, simple, durable phone (has withstanded a lot of abuse),super practical external lcd display that has excellent readability in any sunlight comparing to colour displays, mp3 player, but its getting old. when I saw the picture of z555 i though wow, might consider this to replace z550, but its too much the same. they could at least improve the camera. now i have to wait for other phone... :(

  • so maybe it will be like Sony Ericsson W43 in japan ?

  • such a ugly phone.why se also?

  • Nice design... Even though it may not have a lot of feature, I like this phone. I was thinkiing of getting a second phone. I already have the K800i, and I was confusted between another SE or a Nokia. I think I would have to say the Z555, strikes the right note as a second phone.

  • burberry phone?

  • The Gesture control is very good. The Sony Ericsson Z555 incorporates Sony Ericsson's handy Gesture Control, letting you easily mute the phone or snooze its alarm without having to interrupt what you're doing. When a call comes in, a simple movement of your hand back and forth over the phone mutes the ringtone. Similarly, sweep your hand over the phone when using it as your alarm clock to put it into �snooze' mode. Works like magic!

  • se is a copycat.. prism design is all over the fascia.. come on se.. grow up..

  • funny

  • weird...

  • Nokia Prism in Nokia 2650 design??

  • I hate to admit that this phone is very similar to the Nokia Prism ones...

  • Beeeeeeppppp....., I've read the official PR too, but there is no information whether this phone will be able to record clips.

  • sorry but i dont see the point of this phone. prism by nokia was ugly enough. love the w350 design.. thumbs up.

  • can the camera record video?

  • I want to see the pictures with it opened!
