Design
The Z310i's 65,000-color, 128 x 160 display is housed under the front cover while the outside sports a supplementary monochrome LCD 96 x 64 screen that can display time, caller information, and more. Located just above the outer display are unique disappearing backlit indicator icons that indicate battery and signal strength, message status, and multimedia status. The indicators fade away when not in use, leaving the phone's outer interface clean and sleek looking. The handset's VGA camera is housed on the front cover as well, just above the indicator icons. The Z310i uses an internal antenna--leaving nothing to snag or break off--and a five-way button just above the dial pad is used to control most of the phone's menus and features. Up/down buttons on the left side of the phone can be used for quick volume control and menu navigation. USB data and charging ports, as well as a headset port, are located on the phone's bottom edge.

Calling Features
The Z310i's call list remembers most of your recent missed, received, and dialed calls. The phone also features a speakerphone for easy, hands-free talking. In addition to a vibrating alert, the phone supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3- and AAC-format ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. There's even a bundled application that lets you mix your own ringtones with up to 16 tracks. Picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. Similarly, a ringer ID lets you assign ringtones to callers. Lastly, the phone also comes with conference call capabilities--an ideal feature for both business and leisure applications.

When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun (carrier messaging charges may apply). Instant messaging is also supported and the phone ships with a built-in email client.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the Z310i, as it supports the GPRS protocol. When used with a carrier data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capabilities, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. There's also a built-in Web browser for wireless downloads and mobile Web browsing. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the Z310i including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock with a timer and stopwatch. Sony Ericsson Sync Station software lets you synchronize your Microsoft Outlook calendar, contacts, notes, and tasks with your phone.

Picture effects such as a night mode, white balance and brightness control, and a self-timer are also included.

2.0 out of 5 stars For the price paid, I could have got something better., August 2, 2008

By	D. Pierce - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The phone is cute, but that is where it really ends. The phone claims to have speed dial, it does if you only want to call your voice mail. If you want to send a text msg you have to set up an internet profile, which I still have not done becuase even with the help of the owner booklet, is impossible. The last thing would be ringtones-I know most people like the abrasive ones, but I like just a beep. Guess what? This phone does not have it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective Battery?, December 6, 2007

By	M. Rameno "La Tekilera" (CA, US) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have always purchased either, Nokia, Motorola, or Siemens so I thought I'd give Sony a try. The bronze color really caught my attention. However, I was VERY disappointed with the product. I charge the phone completely and within 16 hours, I am on only 1 block of power. I will be returning the phone and getting a refund, which of course, further frustrates me. Furthermore, and although the color is pretty, it does not appear sturdy. I would have settled for the less-than-resistant phone, but the battery, that is impossible to settl for!
