Good Points: Very light, quite small, very good screen. Durable, i've had it for two years with no problems.
Bad Points: Too long, the antenna is huge!! Also, it's not worth anything more than £50 now that you can get colour screen phones for £60
General comments: Overall the Sony J5 / J5e is a good phone, but is too big and pricey for the current market

The Sony J5 is great, many functions, good price, great performance.One bad point is what I found, that's low battery performance.

My Sony J5 was a replacement by orange after having my previous phone stolen. When I first got it, I thought is was fantastic as it was so light and very stylish - especially with the new jog dial. After six months things started to go wrong. My phone's memory randomly scrambled erasing dates and alarms and even hiding some of my contacts from the phonebook. I can only put this down to lack of shielding from the battery on the chip set.
The jog dial hardly works now, 2yrs down the line. ...

The Sony J5, well what can i say, it's definatly a looker with stylish curves and a great fun to use jog dial. The menu screen is different and interesting. Brilliant reception and generally a neat little package.

It is the most unreliable phone you can hope to own. You hear how beleaguered the mobile phone industry is - well this about sums it up.
How to get people to buy new phones when they already have one:
1) Make them think they're 'phone is unfashionable using blanket advertising
2) Make a 'phone that is so shoddily built that is will barely last beyond the warranty.
This phone sucks and as a result I will never buy a Sony again.

The Sony J5 is a good phone, good features, shame about the low volume on the speaker and mine breaking and rendering the phone useless. Every call is now missed!

The Sony J5 is a light, smart looking mobile phone and the navigation wheel is something I'll miss. On the negative side you can't hear a thing when there's background noise, it's particularly bad when it's windy. The vibration is a non-event. The buttons are too small and restrictive when typing fast. I hoped the record option for ring tones would be more impressive too but a lack of volume and the poor quality make it unusable. And finally it's maybe just my phone, but it also has a nasty habi ...

The Sony J5 mobile phone is a lot better than my old phone (motorola V2288e) which I got rid of to my Dad. It's great for Computer people who can't stand the way to use Nokia phones, I just never liked them cos the menus seem so illogically organised. The only real problem has been my battery as it seems to be dying? Anybody got a new battery lying around?

In general the Sony J5e is a very good mobile phone, being light and slim so can easily be carried in pockets etc! However, the 'ring' speaker is located on the back of the phone, so when you have the case on, the belt buckle sits over the speaker, which isn't 'that' loud at the best of times. Furthermore, I and a friend, who had the same phone, have had to send it back to the manufacturer twice after all the buttons 'failed' for no apparent reason, either whilst writing a text message or when ...

I couldn't of brought a better phone! The jog dial is a new way of thinking and I wouldn't be surprised if this sets a new trend in mobile phones. The graphic display is excellent for quick, easy internet and SMS use. With a larger than average screen it makes everything that much clearer. It's unique shape also makes it easy to handle and comfortable to use. Thumbs up to sony who have now proved they can build top mobile equipment as well as VCR's

this phone may look cool, but i wish i'd never bought it.
You need a hearing aid to hear it. The vibration is so weak and useless you might as well not have it. you get a finger ache when your address book is quarter fun becuase you have to keep scrolling. What a bad choice.

the Sony J5 is a fairly good mobile phone with some minor flaws but a lot of people may overlook these. It is a very small comapact phone which is very good but the speaker is too quiet so trying to use it in a public place is a pain because u really have to listen hard to hear what the other person is saying. I feel the jog dial could have been used better as it is awkward to reach properly but, other than this, it is a nice phone. If u r used to a nokia like me i wouldn't recommend it

This Sony J5 is a cool mobile fone. It is very light and stylish. If you record your ringtones properly without putting the sound too close or far away from the microphone then they turn out really good. Predictive txt input is really easy to use and makes it a lot faster. games are quite bad but i think they aimed the games at kids. you can use wap, which is very fast and easy to use (quite expensive though, but that has nothing to do with the fone). i can get a perfect reception wherever i go. ...

The Sony J5 is a fine looking mobile phone, with great features. It's different than the nokias to use, but easy to get used to, has a few niggling problems, but none detract from the fact its a great phone.

In general the Sony J5e is a nice looking mobile phone with good features but its length and lack of volume when on maximum ring volume lets it down a bit.

This J5 mobile phone from Sony is smart in operation and nice in looks.
The phone is worth its money and really makes a good deal. Apart from few shortcomings it's a pretty good buy!!.
