Sony Ericsson Equinox Unboxing & Hands-on

[ASIANphantom]

this phone is so bad that it made me switch back to my Nokia 5300 that i used in 2007.

[VerenaGilbert]

This , bar none, is the worst phone I have ever had. It has software problems and dials wrong numbers out of the address book, has sound problems where I can't hear the person or it connects and they can't hear me. I had a nightmare 8 months of trying to fix these problems with T-Mobile. The third replacement had identical problems so did the second replacement. I was ready to flush the thing. After the third replacement and eight months of ripping my hair out I bought a different phone.

[ASIANphantom]

@VerenaGilbert i have the same problem with mine dude.

[YourAppleJamie]

I want of these as a back up for my hd2

[lotrrules3434]

Please reply! Does this phone have a signature setting for messaging? And how much is it with a contract? (Like renewing my phone for a contract). Thanks!♥♥

[wirefly]

@lotrrules3434 I don't think that the Equinox is still available. Wirefly no longer sells it.

Bob at Wirefly

[lotrrules3434]

@wirefly Oh darn! I saw it on T-mobile's site, I'll have to call them and ask.

Thanks so much!♥♥

[superhuman671]

I think I'm going to Purchase this but i want the Pink Version

I'm saving Up money to buy a new cell phone

because someone stole my phone from School :P

[AnArousedPanda]

Do NOT put this phone in a pocket with change and keys. Paint Chips off..

[harmor515]

Not so beutifull that i though

[granados88]

@WireFly is the equinox a good phone because my dad ordered it and people say that the phones paint chips off

[wirefly]

@granados88 The Equinox is getting a little old these days, and there are many newer, faster phones with more features. The Equinox's micro Memory Stick memory is not for me... I prefer the much more common (and less expensive) microSD. But the paint on the Equnox is not a problem for most users.

Wirefly

[granados88]

@wirefly one more quick question..does it freeze up alot?

[wirefly]

@granados88 Sorry, I can't say -- it's been many months since I've touched an Equinox. Perhaps some other users will stop by and offer advice.

Wirefly

[Eriko2k9]

@granados88 dude please DO NOT get this phone. I've had it since last year and had to get it replaced three times. I don't abuse it one bit and it goes slowwwwww and freezes up A LOT

[HedgehogStudios1]

What's funny is that in a week, my bro, dad, and me are all getting a samsung gravity t, and my mom is getting the equinox....she has no good taste for cell phones. I think it's kind of lame to get same phone as my dad and bro, but I was the one that decided first and that's the only phone I actually like

[granados88]

@HedgehogStudios1 ayy is the samsung gravity t qood because i ordered it through mail and excited to recieve it

[garcia1dallas]

its a good phone, i love it. my only problem is that its too slow

[mahadragon]

Let me give you a clue. We don't need to see you using your unncessarily big knife to carefully open the box, learn to cut the extraneous stuff out of your video.

[1241mills]

how to trun on light effects on my sony ericsson equinox

[Jacket334]

He sounds bored. Poor him.

[andre110496]

WOW I WAS LIKE COOL A KNIFE!!! LOL

[martes37]

i would have loved this phone if the current year was 2005

[jmolina890]

I wish it was QWERTY :/

[longshanlung]

The external display kind of disappoints me....

You can't adjust how long it stays on....

Only thing bad about this phone~

[lightfedora]

Can you read messages or play music from its external screen

[commandwtf]

I saw this phone at the store the other day. Looked kinda girly to me b/c of the buttons :P But thats just my opinion

[Satvic]

no microUSB port or microSD card? no thank you. I'll stick with HTC or Nokia.

[andreww0254]

im gettting that phone today !!!! :D

[artistsComplex]

pretty good review. thanks!

[thatnikkigirl87]

is it easy to text using this phone?

[marcer7]

@thatnikkigirl87 it takes some time to get used to, for me I' still getting used to it, because the keys feel really soft when you push on them, unlike my other phone were it would have a really solid feedback with the keys. Hope this helped...unless you already got the phone, since your comment was a week old. :)

[thatnikkigirl87]

I just ordered this phone, cant wait to get it! :)

[tornmask]

GREAT review!..on the Sony ErIcsson Equinox TM717...the best yet!..THX wirefly! =o]

[mousikaz]

can you lock your messages?.

thanks.

[TheASS8D1]

is it a fast phone?? o.o

[coalcowboy32]

i have one

[narutorui]

i like this phone but i have a samsung behold is it better or nah?

[ilikechinpokomon]

@narutorui i have the behold everytime i use it i think about commiting suicide.... god i hate the behold its a torture device..

[missbonappetitable]

@ilikechinpokomon lol i know how you feel!

[theredmars]

i hate the half circle on the front. it completely ruins the style of the phone.

[ziggerification]

yes yes yes the samsung gravity 3 in coming out 7/13/2010

[pye1227]

for this phone can we take music to set as a ring tone? also do know when the new spring rose color will be out?

[FliipHappy]

yea you can take music to set as a ringtone

[locachica3561]

hey how much can u go up to in timefor recording a video

[FliipHappy]

if you have a memory card, it will be a long time, but if you don't it'll probably like 3 minutes or something

[gorgeous952]

dis fone is ugly

[ookoook]

"enjoy" lol so priceless

[jeremiah13x]

how big is the free space for the memory stick?

[porschelord]

It means you don't reject a call but just turn off the ring tone while the phone is ringing. The caller will still be waiting for you to anwere the phone but will eventually get to your voice mail instead. Its a good way to not have to listen to your ringtone and/or answer the phone if you are busy doing something else.

[sulake13]

@porschelord you can do that in almost every phone just by pushing the volume button. your ringtone will shut off.

[lAywnTV]

@ brendacindy yeah fam , u should have gotten the black one

[xPhablex]

this is a stupid question, but id really appreciate an answer, can you get a prepaid deal with this phone

[ap327145]

awesome phone cant wait to get mine in the mail soon, even though my mom accidentally ordered me the stupid blue one...

[brendacindy]

I just ordered the blue one and have one question do you think it's a boy or girl color. I'm a boy but really don't know for sure if I should have gotten the black one instead.

[ap327145]

its a badass phone, its a little too blue for me but all my friends like it, and the black one is kind of a weird looking black anyway so im satisfied, best flip phone ive ever seen.

[brendacindy]

@ap327145 Thanks for the reply.

[brendacindy]

@ap327145 Are you a boy or girl.

[ap327145]

im a man

[brendacindy]

That's cool. So it is a Boy color. Just wondering cause I would of changed it and got a black one instead but I guess I don't have to now.

[Gutsyndicate]

do you have to have an internet subscribtion to download movies on Youtube, or you could just uploaded on your computer then Youtube.

[blackhollywooddeath]

anyone know how can I unlock this phone?

[1995allstars]

call customer services

[SonicaGemini1300]

i just got this phone today for free at walmart! I was so surprised it came with earphone headset and bluetooth! so far its awesome!

[Gutsyndicate]

How did you get it for free at walmart?

[SonicaGemini1300]

@Gutsyndicate I got it for free at walmart but its under 2 year contract of course! Im not sure how long it will be free under 2year,tmobile has these deals for a short time then they change.

[gilescn]

yes there is a lot of phone you can get for free at walmart, i got the blackberry curve 8520 for 30 bucks there but i got mad when i went to radio shack they had it for free

[punkrosezer01197]

how free?

[SonicaGemini1300]

well free for the phone at most walmarts. but of course not the minutes. 2year contract too. most phones are free with 2 year contracts. but thats the catch.

[88dc]

i got this for christmas too. its the best phone i've had. its great i can make my own ringtones.

[tattoosrock13]

i got this phone for christmas. i love it! i love that you can use any ringtone or song or sound you have on your memory card for message tones and ringtones. and the lights are nice too when your driving at night or at the bar...

[wildplanet1234]

sry i have verizon but i'm switching to t-mobile

do you have to pay extra for using the youtube app

[thiskidrightherefail]

i'm pretty sure you would need a data plan

[quinnman65]

nice

[luisloser76]

does this phone play you tube videos. just wonderning

[PoofyMcFluffkins]

This phone has the same ugly hinge thing when you open it that made me not like the Blackberry Pearl Flip. Yet that other Sony Ericsson that I saw a video on, looked better.

From that other review I saw people saying this was cooler.

=P

[desertrose88]

this phone is kind of ugly...

[richdivaqt]

jzt got it i hate da keys. but da features on diz fone r hard

[ZylnorWrath]

im thinking about getting this phone for xmas but one thing i wanna know about this phone is if i can use my own ringtones? i have a sidekick now and the only thing i dont like about it is that i can use my own custom ringtone.

Thanks!

[KyleFeuer]

@ZylnorWrath, this phone comes with a USB cable to connect the phone to a computer in which you can use an application on the computer such as iTunes to create ringtones from songs

[pokeygalaxy]

ILY Sony

[morninglight]

i thought only verizon & at&t had the nice phones but i think this one looks pretty nice... does anyone know how to add a line to a family plan? i lost my phone recently & now i want to get a new one, but i don't know how its done online...

[sakariadhaval]

kool

[canecaneshane]

And I was thinking T-Mobile had terrible phones. But look at this! I am so getting this for Christmas!

[Tofuishly]

Um, when I edit my contact, I don't have tabs to change the lighting effects. I turned my lighting effects on, too. Why don't any of my tabs show up?

[Iamyass]

sweet knife,, sweeter phone x

[pastel86z]

omg!! I want this so bad!

[PIOSystems]

Cool phone, a nice break away from all the iPhones, PDA's, Touch Screens, etc. It's actually a damn phone!

Might make a good 2nd phone to have around.

[p154831]

@PIOSystems yup i just got it

[RetroDr78]

@p154831 Maybe it's just me, but for $150 isn't this phone a bit too much. I would pay $70 at max.

[p154831]

@RetroDr78 umm actually its $50 so idk what you are talking about. if you had a tmobile prepaid plan and you wanted a good phone which one would you get. it actually has alot of features 3.2 megapixel camera, radio, video camera, bluetooth, support for a m2 memory stick, voice control, 3g internet, and a cool light interface on the cover of the phone

[RetroDr78]

@p154831 You told me YOU paid $150...so now you r a liar?

[p154831]

@RetroDr78 i pay $10 a month for internet texting and phone calls but i paid $150 can you get 1 for me cheaper ???/ thought so

[PIOSystems]

@p154831 Cool!

[scaremenga]

@PIOSystems A "second" phone? So you have one other phone? Would that be a smartphone? lol

[PIOSystems]

@scaremenga Ah, yea...And your point is?

Business-wise, alot of pp need smartphones (such as myself), but just to have a cell phone for just that, it's good not to have a whole bunch of extra features so you can save battery power.

[scaremenga]

@PIOSystems It just seemed that you dislike smart phones from the context of your original comment. It makes perfect sense to have two cells when you think about it.. basically a personal device and a business device.

[PIOSystems]

@scaremengaOh no, smartphones are cool, but it just seems like at times these companies just wanna release every cell phone with everything under the sun into it! I just like the fact you can buy a cell phone just as a cell!

[rayj778]

@PIOSystems It's actually a damn phone? what is an iPhone? Well an iPhone is much better than "just a phone". this phone is for omish people, & old people who can't keep up with technology...that's all. This phone in no way is better than the new touch screen phones which can do a hell of a lot more than this.

[rayj778]

@PIOSystems it's not even a great texting phone for god's sake. you can get a lot better for about the same price.

[nojohnso]

@rayj778 Can you suggest a new flip phone that is actually good? I personally like this style, but everything seems to have a low amount of features and geared towards old folks. The Equinox seems to be the best thing available right now.

[rayj778]

@nojohnso Although the Equinox is NOT better than an iPhone, it is actually a good flip phone!!! So if all you need is that, then get it.

[sweetsmisa]

@nojohnso switch to a japanese flip phone its called docmo and sony ericsson actually makes the phones for them

[nojohnso]

@sweetsmisa Hey thanks for the tip!

[yaboidc123]

iiM gEttiN thiS phoN3

CAnT WaiiT!!!

[IpodTouchHelper326]

sO aM i!

[iLL271]

OMG i want one -_-

iLL .

[ArchieFan42192]

I am going to buy this phone in December....thats when my upgrade is.

[Proskater648]

The menu looks almost exactly like my old Sony Ericsson phone haha. I'm guessing it's a update... I do enjoy the 3.2 camera, but unfortunatly no flash.

[thenaenaeshow]

what is a photo dj

[Proskater648]

it's a photo editor

[nigahigaboii]

cool review- thanks for the video!!!
