  • sony ericsson generally sucks hell.

    nokia ftw!

  • sony ericsson spiro super lag... noob phone!

  • Spiro Suck!!!

  • this phone is shit

  • this phone is super bravo sonja Erikson

  • I want to buy this phone bocz this cheap and has 3.5 mm headphone jack.....however, after watching most videos on Spiro review. I notice there are a lot of complains on this phone's software. So, is there even a person that has this phone but has no problems with it?

  • phone is great I bought it I got it six months and is extremely

  • i ordered this sony erricson spiro from homeshop18 at the low price,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • I hate this phone so much

    reasons:the battery dies in less than 24 hours (have to charge it twice if listening to music)

    the gif pictures lag

    the phone itself lags (no it's not because of my 2 GB memory stick I took it out and the phone still lagged)

    the phone restarts when entering play now to download a theme ringtone or anything else

    there's problems finding and actually working theme for this phone

    only thing I like about this phone is that I can plug in my PC speakers or any headphones

  • No , i have this phone he's excellent =D none probleme or Bug . i love it <3

  • PLEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! don't buy this phone!!!!!!! i hate this phone very much!!!!!

  • worst. phone. ever.

  • its da lousiest phone ever.....i unlucky using this crap SE calles a damn stupid good for nothing pain in da neck phone,,,,,

  • wat da problem wit dis fone sum1 tell me cause i wanna buy it

  • dont buy this phone!!it hangs frequently

  • I do think that the poor viewing angle a is good thing... That way people won't try to watch what you're texting..

    I wouldn't buy it though. doesn't sound that good...

  • people are complaining about the memory but you can buy a god damn sd card for extra!!!!!!!!

  • oh shit i i bought this phone

  • Could somebody prove it to me the problem cause i was planning to buy this phone.. PLEASE.!!!

  • this is one of the worst phones i have ever had, yes its cheap but i would save that money for something better. it turns itself off whenever it wants, the battery life is poor, it runs out of memory very easily so you cant ring or text people the only way to solve this is to reset the phone. its extremely slow to start and load pretty much anything, it wont let you read messages sometimes. it has 2 themes as well but i cant even set one of them because it runs out of memory. terrible phone

  • Worst SE phone ever

    - WORST THING - the TrackID shortcut cannot be changed (DOWN should be contacts, not som unuseful app)

    - you cannot acces data from your card. You can only listen to music, not add themes and not even ringtones

    - it's slow - the startup and the menu

    And other things tracked by others. Search on google "Sony Ericsson Spiro problems" and view community topics. I bought one and I will gave it to my girlfriend - she doesn't care if you can't set a ringtone

  • should i replace the Motorola Razor V3 for this but i only have £50 and its £30?

    i have a friend with this phone who says its an "alright" phone but a bit basic but then i have also heard that its brilliant and crap so im not sure.

    Btw the pictures he showed from the camera were actually very good in my opinion :P

  • This phone is crap!

  • This phone has a lot of problems, you cannot call and text because of the "out of memory" error and you have to restart it in order to enable texting or calling. It crashes, it hangs, I don't recommend this phone. It slows down even after a week. low internal memory and you cannot transfer your messages to the memory card. no to spiro...

  • Cool design and nice screeen but very bad software. Many crashes and malfunctions. It costs 80 euros, so you get what you pay. It's ok

  • PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE ...

    THIS FUCKING PHONE SUCKSSSS ...

    SONY HAS LOST IT

    lot of software problem - all of sudden phone shows "out of memory" though i have fucking 2 gb memory card and 5 mb internal memory

    restarts whenever i click photo

    restarts randomly

    hangs randomly

    please guys do not , do not buy this phone at all

  • PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE ...

    THIS FUCKING PHONE SUCKSSSS ...

    SONY HAS LOST IT

  • PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE ...

    THIS FUCKING PHONE SUCKSSSS ...

  • ZJEBANY !

    SUUUCKS !

  • i regret i bought this phone. gonna buy a new one. walkman w8

  • Only got this because I lost my W995 and wanted a cheap phone with mp3 and facebook, only had it 3 weeks in which time it's been glitchy as fuck and now it's broken (won't start up properly), this has got to be the most annoying sack of shit phone I have ever had the misfortune of owning, taking it back tomorrow to force feed it to the cunt who sold it to me

  • this phone is VERY VERY BAD

  • zylo or spiro ?

  • is this phone is a crap?

  • sony ericsson has seriously declined....i thot the xperia x10 was bad, but now they cant even make normal phones properly now? this so called "walkman" phone DOES NOT HAVE MEGABASS or any custom EQ for that matter, PURE FAIL. Totally defeats the fucking purpose of getting a walkman phone.

  • @lronSausage yeah and the eq resets to normal after each song or when you exit the player so you have to change it every time

  • i can't see anything bad about the pictures 

  • MIne also restarts itself, and it doesn't take a lot of use before the screen starts to get scratches. The internet is crappy. I'd recommend the Sony Ericsson W595 or 995, I had a Nokia before this one, it was newer and more expensive, but also crappier.

  • how do you show the album art in the music player?

  • Which would be the best choice between this phone and the Zylo?

  • Its the crappest phone in the whole world. Very bad OS. Always hangs and restarts by itself. Always Out Of Memory error. Very bad Customer Care. Please dont ever by Sony phones.

  • @ladukesh11111981 its just a cheap phone, i have it for 4 months and never restarts itself, sometime it hangs but a little bit later everything is fine

    Sorry for my bad English =((

  • DON'T BUY THIS PHONE !!!

    

  • it always freezes, this phone is shit!!!

  • Sony Ericsson Spiro offers hours upon hours οf entertainment fοr аnу mobile phone user, аnd wіth іtѕ inclusion οf Facebook аnd Twitter apps, internal memory, a robust, sleek design, аnd аn affordable price tag, thіѕ mobile phone mаkеѕ fοr a more thаn exceptional value.

    If уοu′re looking fοr a simple аnd sleek device tο please anyone, thе Sony Ericsson Spiro іѕ perfect.

  • My 3 year old w910i just broke, it worked really well, only in the last few months that it started to get annoying... the red light would go on at the back, it said inactive sim then restarts itself, sometimes about five times in a row before it stays on, then in the last few weeks it started to say send failed when i tried to send a text, for no apparent reason, then the other day, it just turned off and never came back on.

    So one question, does this one do the same?

  • Where do your English accent come from ? 

  • delete Gaga from your adress book

  • A and I forgot something, the camera is very good for 2.0 MP

  • Excellent phone, but I think half the buttons awkward to draw and cut out a call for what they are socks tiny keys, I think ...

  • Viewing angles of the display are perfect, why would you want other people staring at your screen while texting, on a bus, in a car or in town, sounds good to me to not let people have that ability

  • i got this phone today how do u change the shortcuts at the left and right hand corners

  • I have got this phone but mine is black!

  • to those people out there who wants to get a new cheap phone,i recommended you get samsung champ for the same price as this,this phone lags like shit,the only thing i get this phone for it's because it fits my beat earphone lolxD thumbs up will be highly appreciated:)

  • @xJuZtiNz Well, sir, your recommendation sucks. Samsung Champ just has a touch screen which amuses most of the buyers, like it amused me. But the phone sucks. With my Samsung Champ, my messages wont get deleted. I can save only 300 messages at a time. It reboots randomly. And you cannot do other stuff when the music player is running, it will lag to death!

    With this price range, I recommend a normal alphanumeric keypad phone, and no fancy crap like Champ!

  • @reon10 well yeah i post that 2 weeks ago and i'm still an average teenager:) it may suck but appreciate what you got,it's still a damn phone and the main function of it is to call and text,i got an samsung champ duos just recent and it works perfectly,no lags won't reboot and stores about 10k messages,you should check out whether it's original:)

  • @xJuZtiNz Well. i have the normal single sim Champ. Duos is much better but the original champ really sucks!

  • @reon10 and much worth it,it has a 3.5mm ear jack,wifi and duos sim etc. changing phone any sooner or later so won't really stick to samsung:)

  • This phone is absolute SHIT!

  • This phone is actually bullshit!

    I bought it about 6 months ago because of its budget price and its nice look, as well as the fact that's it's a Walkman phone which guarantees nice sound quality and the easy-to-use Walkman application. However, after only 2 or 3 weeks it started to restart on its own and causing me problems with text messaging and calls! Check the forums before you buy! THIS IS A SHITTY PHONE!

  • @MariosF92AT I totally agree!! I bought it and after 2 weeks it showed some lines on the screen. They got me a new one after the manufacturer tried to fix it twice. Now I have the same problem you had. It lags, starts to restart on his own and today it only showed the sony ericcson logo screen and then it turned off. What a piece of crap!!

  • man dis fone is the bst in it's range....!!

    

  • I WOULD SAY THIS IS BETTER THAN THE IPHONE ITS CHEAP SMALL AND HANDY YO CAN GET PACMAN ITS CAMERA IS GOOD ASWELL

  • I need help from you guys. Do you think taht this phone is better than the Sony Ericsson Zylo?

  • @Awesomness181 no. i had the zylo.. i broke it.. lol, but the zylo's great!!

  • @taaaylorxx ok, thank you :D

  • @Awesomness181

    nope zylo is way better than this

  • @Kmartful With Bloody F_u_cking Fast-Port? No, thanks!!!

  • I purchased the phone today. It is beautiful and perfect to hold. HOWEVER, the idiots did not include a usb cable. So i have ordered one from ebay and waiting for its MOST IMPORTANT function, its mp3 player! Thats what i bought this phone for and i already have sennheiser earphones.

    Then i will know whether to keep this phone or not

  • Are the speakers loud (like the W395 for example) ?

    Thanks!

  • i just bought this yesterday,is it worth?

  • thumbs up if your life was change when you saw the minute 1:29

    fuck yeah!!!

  • q onda yo tengo este telefono.. es bueno igual..bueno lo uniko q me interesa q se pueda resibir y emitir llamadas y poder escuchar mi musica favorita no puedo usar touch porq me transpiran las manos

  • most people cant afford an iPhone or HTC thats why we buy them on expensive plans...

  • damn! it looks so good but everyone in my country think its crap!

  • @MrIzzPizz If you like it, get it! Don't let other people stop you getting what you want :)

  • @FlippyCatProductions Yes, thanks :) But i mean they say that it's slow and that kind of stuff' (I am from Sweden so I dont know what all those things are called)

  • @MrIzzPizz It's called lag, and fair enough, but if it's slow and you get it, you can send it back I think lol

  • @FlippyCatProductions Ok, Thanks :)

  • Uhhhh~ whats this phone?!!

    i cant work with it clrearly!

    when i want a song to repeat for all the time what shall i click?~!!!

    well..

    i think i have tricked by its cutee shape and color T.....T

  • Got mine the other day and omg what a pice of shit this phone is! You can forget changing themes, the phone sometimes does not recognize the memory card. Phone randomly shutsdown when it feels like it. DO NOT GET THIS CRAP!

  • the battery life of this phone is crap... 1 day charge once... compared to my few other SE's phone before, that can last till 3 days if fully charged.

  • guys please help me a bit.

    i currently use xperia x10 mini pro and x10i.

    im about to buy a new phone for business purposes.

    please receomend me if i should buy this or yendo?

  • is this the white version ?

  • @daswada9 contrast black

  • which is better among cheaper phones, quality wise, not minding the camera/video. Samsung champ, samsung punch, this spiro, cedar or alcatel one touch net?

  • @CheEly0803 Well, I like the Cedar AND the Spiro....I'm going for the Spiro for the music, and 'cos I'm broke:P But out of that list I'd love the Cedar!

  • music ID doesn't work =(

  • hi, i am about to buy this phone, i dont know nothing about it, can someone that owns this phone tell me if it is good or bad?

  • @FuckMagic1

    I don't own it but I have used it several times as my best mate owns it. It's music playback quality I'd say is miles better than phones that aren't music biased (obviously). The camera isn't too great but will do for everyday usage and Facebook etc. The keys are good for dialing and texting. The internet is slow as I think it is only GPRS but may have EDGE, I'm not sure. Instant messenger is a good feature that works just fine. I'd give this phone a 7/10.

  • can someone please please tell me if the phone can display album art while playing music.

  • @weemadatif2k7 He tells you in the video it doesn't show album art while playing music at all.

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK THAT'S AN IPHONE KILLER!

    btw the phone is great, u have FAKE versions! mine is just the best!

  • Phone Arena...get outta this style of demonstrating the phone features in pitch dark and do it in normal light ... this so suck ... i mean how can u demonstrate a phones camera fatures in dark .... so lame ..

  • cheap phones RRRAAAWWWKKKK ,,,,LOL @ WANNABEEZ GETTIN EYEBALLS TOK OUT WIV PRICES 39.99 @40NEZ4U.WIV£ IO CREDIT ,

  • im getting this phone today :P

  • @MultiJackass360 don't get it!!! it's a buggy software phone!!! you're doing yourself a favor not buying it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MultiJackass360

    I would have bought it last weekend but they wouldn't let me buy it without the top-up so I didn't have enough money on me :'( How is it?

  • i think this phone is good it has good memory plus its very solid anyway i always liked slide phone therye cool

  • got this badboy yesterday, im impressed so far :)

  • im getting this phone on thursday,its a lil bit old but tbh i love it.just cuz i cant afford a fucking blackberry.dont mean i have a crappy phone like everyone says' :P

  • DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! It will break quickly, and I don't mean physically... it will malfunction frequently

  • @YTthisisda yes and its gonna explode if you hold it 10 sec more on sun light,also there is a radiation coming form the back of the battery :D get out of here.

  • @daswada9 oh, was that supposed to be funny?

  • @YTthisisda he is right , i have this phone and this is the first time i am not satisfied from s e by far

    its rubbish it will crash non stop , from time to time it doesnt want to play the songs which it playes usually

    I DONT RECCOMENT THIS PHONE after updating it to the latest software NOTHING has changed

    ooo and my speaker got broken it doesnt work

  • @YTthisisda yeah i wish i read that before i got it.. it surely is a piece of crap :/

  • omfg get zylo.

  • well i have this phone and i seriously dont recommend it

    it always freezes and u need to remove the battery

    becasue it freezes a lot

    good thing is music, track id, and the apps of twitt and facebook, well if u love walkmans buy it but i warned it freezes a lot and it kinda suck

    my first phone and im sort of disappointed with walkmans

    i always heard that they were very good but these phone changed my mind

  • @starcraft37 Clear phone memory and save all to memory card, it will not freeze

  • how did you manage to get 13 songs on the phone i can only get one

  • 'Phone is poor' -- I don't give a shit in hell! Its cheap and that's all I care about! I'm only getting it because my girlfriend wants me to! I don't see the point in a £500 phone when all people REALLY use it for at the end of the day is communication!

  • you sound like Niko from gta 4,

    btw nice job with the reviwe ;D

  • @MrDiogorider yes you're right :D

  • this looks like a phone that will get you by to call, text and play music and is not a phone for people with their head in their arse.

  • hey guys!! i have the same phone and there is something that's bothering me... i recorded something and I can't find anywhere my recordings. I want to delete them but how?? they appear only when I want to change my ringtone but i haven't seen a folder which includes them. Could you help me delete them?

  • hEY Man Does It Have Remote Control?

  • i think this phone is amazing i love sony ericsson . anothers phone are very xpensive and they have aplication more expensive too . i said...

  • just to tell you it can only play mp3 files your not able 2 play wma or acc anyway it is a good fone and it does what it says on the box

  • the guy who speaks is from Bulgaria ! definitely

  • 1 min in and his volice is putting me to sleep im mean god its a bloody phone if u dont like it why buy it u can tell u have never had a Sony Ericsson before cause thats how there all are and people dont have a problme with it

  • This phone is bad if you have £400 to spend on a phone.

    It is amazing if you want a £30 phone to call/text from. Isn't that what phones are for anyway?

  • I have shifted from the Samsung M1 Vodafone 360 to this model. You can call it technical downgrading but I call it a re-socialization process since those app compatible phone are eating up a big chunk of your time and could trouble the people around you. I'm sure that many relationships have failed just because the iPhone maniacs care more about their gadgets rather than for their beloveds. A very basic phone for the basic purposes is all I need by the end!

  • @thamry721 That's my opinion too. Ipad is the same garbage! Problem is, finding a basic phone is pretty hard nowadays too.

  • @thamry721 thats a refreshing take. nice :D

  • No body has such a big thumbs,your thumbs look like penis but a poor penis...

  • does it have walkman player 4.0?

  • u r a smug bitch! :D

  • Camera pictures are not that bad!

  • Anybody knows if I can add a 2Gb microSD to this phone? Or more than that? Thanks (sorry 'bout my English)

  • @matmadman don't be stupid.u can

  • sony ericsson makes some really quality stuff....my w660i was submerged , rolled on dust and concrete and still works ....... i think that this will also do dat stuff until it goes in half

  • no it does not have an accelerometer

  • @everyone does this phone have an accelarometor?

  • my opinion is that SE Zylo is better than spiro cause zylo has better camera i think ,bigger screen ,better software that`s all spiro is small not a good design i think.small screen not many features like zylo that`s all

    it`s just my opinion ok? so don`t be bad

  • hate the guy

  • mp4 playback???

  • The viewing angle is small on purpose to stop people from reading what your texting etc this is used in lots of phones

  • don't buy this phone !!! spiro users around the world have faced the same problems...spiro has problems with its camera,battery,SMS,software n others!!! it's sad...

  • "the viewing angles of the screen are very poor"-who the hell gives a damn?

  • to be honest it has had too many bad thing said about it in my opinion its the best phone i have ever bourt it has everything i need its amazing i my advice buy iy its totally worth it :)

  • @ihascookieTV i so agree with u,....although it may be lacking for some,great feature(3.5mm headphone jack,micro sd card) is enough for this budget phone,....

  • Can you download java games from piratebay on your computer and then play them on this phone?

  • A quest : WiFi ? also free internet ?

  • @ScrLKNetwork No wi-fi!

  • Thank you, for the information about the spiro. Looks good, and seems to be the right Phone for my daughter.

  • does it really not show the album cover when you play music in it? or its just the settings?

  • The best walkman phone

  • I hate how this guy says that this phone is poor, not everyone can afford a Iphone or HTC.

  • @riki2cool this phone is very poor i can afford any phone hahaha

  • @riki2cool Poor is a way of saying it's nad, or less good. Not that it's a phone for poor ppl.

  • @riki2cool But the Sony Ericsson Spiro is a poor phone by today's standards.

    This phone could have been released 2-3 years ago and it wouldn't have raised any eyebrows then, either.

  • @riki2cool

    i agree, i have a habbit of breaking phones when i skate.

    this phone does the job and thats all that matter

    no useless apps needed like the iphone

  • @AlphaDrama yes i also skate a lot and i´ve the sony ericsson w205 evryone say its shit but i can hear musich with it and also call somebody and i think it´snot worth to buy a 300 euro phone or an iphone just for breaking it

  • @riki2cool u r right...

    we cant just like that spend money on Iphone or some high end phone, as we now a days use mobiles for the basic use, like msging, calls, some FB and browsing, watching videos..

    Thats been done by all phones...

    everyone has some taste...

  • @riki2cool

    true, but this pretty bad for even £50 quid now days.....I mean for 20 quid extra you could get a HTC smart which is in a different league!

  • @riki2cool so true!!! im also sick of the apple and htc sanctimonious bull sh**

    like these arent the ONLY two phones in the market you know!!!- instead of being biased why couldnt this guy have done two reviews- one targeted at the people who indeed want to get TECHNICAL and JARGON-Y and the other at those who just want a good phone and that too at an affordable price- LG is the ordinary person's APPLE though its gotta be said !! i love lg phones

  • @riki2cool I like it.. and I'll buy it today.. I think it's cute.. and functional for calling, fb, sms and even camera.. I have phone with two mpix. camera.. and it's just fine.. it's not like you're going to make movies with it.. or take pics of something relly important..

    and I agree with you completely + I like nokia more.. and iphone is ugly.. htc too xD

    but nokia c6.. mine soon :D

  • @riki2cool

    I don't know where you hear this guy saying the phone is poor, there are a few features which are called poor, but compared with two year older same priced phones those features are indeed poor, but hey I hear more good features than poor ones so whats your problem..

    Listen carefully to 4.42 he says it is a decent phone! not poor.

  • @riki2cool LOVEYOU!

  • sony ericsson is getting lame..they need a new os..

  • Why not buy a W595 or W910 instead of this one? I mean, they should cost the same by now, but you get a better Walkman and Media player IMO. Also the camera is much better on the W595 and W910.

  • @wiidbzxt

    because W910 and w595 is old

  • @pufixas making it old doesn't mean they aren't good
