Flip, large screen, jog dial.
Ring tones, vibrate, random possibly AI behaviour which is never positive. Recharger connection is dodge.
I prefer phones with vibrate as I quite often have to ignore a ringing phone. This is no problem with the Z7 as you will miss every call you receive if you rely on the vibrate and havnt got the phone stuffed down your pants. It really is useless, switching from an Ericsson T18 before which could literally walk accross a table when rung. It's market must have been Japan because it has the worst possible ringtones on it and nothing that sounds like a phone, I ended up trying to record a proper phone ringing with the record your own feature, but that sounded rubbish as well. The ring tones really are sad and would be liked by the sort of person who "likes to stand out in a crowd and feel special!" aka a posing ponce. Think Spectrum games.
Apart from that it's small, the menu is ok but lets itself down by not providing some of the more useful features on the quick menu like SMS, instead favouring as it does things like the useless information service. Would never willingly own one of these and if you are offered one for free, just say no. Never again, I see the Sony-Erricsons seem to be much better but I just need a phone for voice and SMS so ive just bitten the bullet and bought a Nokia, as all I need it for is calls and SMS and I don't need a phone to make me feel like I stand out,
