Value for Money
Met my expectations

The delivering is realy amazing fast. It needs 10 days to deliver in Kostanay, Kazakhstan. The phone is wonderfull. Very good quality and it works very well. Sound as always on every Sony Ericsson is great. The screen guard makes so as it is a part of phone. But the camera key is not on it's place, it is difficult to use there. And the top of the phone become hot when charging. Otherwise it is the great phone for evryone for amazing low price.
