Summary: The pros and cons pretty much covered it.
With Cingular's service I got a great deal on the phone. Besides it being a great deal, the phone is great...works great as a phone. The Walkman feature can be glitchy from time to time, but only when you upload a mass amount of songs at once, or when a song is playing and you are scrolling through the phone and doing other things like looking up numbers or playing games. Other than that the speaker is plenty loud for a tiny phone.

Being in the military, one thing I love are tactical gadgets. So when I found out that this phone had a camera flash that doubles at a super bright LED flashlight, I was sold. The flashlight also has a "S.O.S" feature where you can set it on S.O.S and it will blink in morse code a "help me" message. Also a cool tactical feature in case you are lost in the woods at night and a rescue team in a helicopter may be flying over head. The LED light is definetly bright enough to alert low flying aircraft. The flashlight is cool, but of course it drains battery life, but for those times that you may be in a dark movie theater and your drop your keys between the seats, the flashlight feature is pretty neat.

Sony offers a great service: free ring tone, theme, picture, and game downloads at their Sony Ericsson website.

The only thing I would highly recommend is as soon as you buy this phone, go on Ebay and find a durable case for it. I found an awesome silicon rubberized casing for it which protects it from damage, dust, and scratches. Only $10 bucks shipped on Ebay!

Also, I don't know if this is the case with other phones, but the car charger for this damn phone is $30 bucks at the local retailer outlets...insanely expensive for a charger. You can get chargers on Ebay for $8 bucks shipped all day.

Highly recommend this phone!
