As a confirmed Sony Ericsson fan I have to express my disappointment with
the Z200. I bought 2 of them as a gift for a client last week and took the
opportunity to use one as my back-up phone for a couple of days.
OK, I don't expect bluetooth on a budget phone (I paid 215 Euros per piece
here in Estonia direct from the importer) but I DO expect basic things like
MMS for instance. Maybe I am just spoiled for features with my everyday Z600
but I really think that SE have missed the mark with this one. The whole
package looks great, the colour screen is absolutely adequate but in this
case beauty is only skin deep.
I suggest that this is one to avoid. Sorry!
Phil

That's why it's only 215 Euro!

for people who don't need 'fancy' features i.e. camera, mms etc (such
as me) the Z200 is perfect. I've ordered one for £130GBP here in the
uk and it should be with me in a few days.

Re: Z200. Is it worth it?
I didn't go into a lot of other stuff such as the inability to convert your
own picture files for transfer to the Z200. Nokia have phones which are
streets ahead of the Z200 at the same price but I do not like Nokia, I am a
Sony Ericsson fan through and through - in fact my everyday Z600 is my 7th
Ericsson product since I originally laid my hands on a GF788 whenever they
came onto the market. SE is doing itself a disservice by putting this phone
on the market. It is the most basic phone imaginable enhanced by a couple of
Java games. Mark my words, there will be a Z210 (or something similar) by
mid-year. I thought it would be great but I have had the chance to use it
for a few days and am so disappointed. People are just not going to buy it
unless they are blinkered SE fans. Conquest sales from Nokia et al will be
non-existent.

Re: Z200. Is it worth it?
So? Is it worth it? I really doubt it.
