This review is from: Sony Ericsson Yari U100 Achromatic Black Color Unlocked Cell Phone GSM Mobile International Version Sim Free (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I have had this Yari for almost 2 years. Very solid, gorgeous phone. But if it not have these mistakes below, I think I would stick with it longer:
1/ Lack of wifi connection: only use the data plan for internet.
2/ Sometime it is laaaggggg! Like when you listen to music and somebody call you, it is like stunned. And you cant turn it off by push the power button. So the only solution is take off the battery, 10 sec later put it back and restart the phone.
And one more thing, but i dont consider it as a huge problem is the back cover. I drop my phone several times and the back cover and the battery just bursted out. If you are crossing over the street/road/etc in the last seconds, and you accidentally drop it, and it bursts, do you think it's safe?
Anyway, I'll get my Xperia mini pro in next few days. And I think the 2 mistakes can be understood , right? Because at least it cant be considered as a smart phone.

Nice phone with lots of little problems.

For example, you can't access the apps or games while the phone doesn't have a network. The software that
comes with the phone can't handle music without mp3 tags (all your files will be called : unknown and stored in folders called : unknown). If you don't use sony's horrible software to put the music on your phone, you
will not be able to use your songs as ringtones.

The camera isn't very good either, 5 megapixels? What a joke, my webcam looks better and the
response time when you take a picture... well, it takes 5 seconds before
it finally goes 'click'.

The voice recorder records sound at 8khz. My virus checker found the software that came with the phone 'suspicious',seems like Sony is still up to it's old rootkits spy-games.

I've never gottenthe gps to work.

The phone is full with facebook, youtube and twitter links, there is no way to get rid of them (in case you are not interested like me).

Maybe the biggest beef I have with phone is that there is no headphone jack, you have to use headphones with a sony connector.

The phone has a looooong list of features, but most are junk and the phone is not very configurable.

I give it 2 stars.
