Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Sony J5 has to be one of the most lightweight, yet comfortable-to-hold phones to date. The ergonomic curved shape means it sits naturally in the hand and all the important features are readily available at your fingertips. Rather than the more traditional menu buttons on the front, the J5 uses Sony's innovative Jog Dial which is positioned at the top left of the phone, just where the tip of your index finger naturally rests. The Jog Dial enables quick scrolling through the 3D menu system, and then selection of the item you want by clicking it inward. The J5 is also WAP capable and has T9 predictive text for fast message writing and comes with five prewritten messages, plus you can send pictures and sounds to other J5 users. Other features include a clock, alarm, currency converter, calculator, calendar and SIM tool kit for access to Orange's information menus. The manner key sits below the Jog Dial and by pushing it upwards enables you to put the phone into one of four predetermined states; silent, vibrate, beep once, or ring normally. By pushing the manner key downwards, you can lock the keys, to guard against accidental calls. The J5 has a massive 500-name memory and you can choose to display one of 30 icons with each name group such as friends or family. If you want customisation, then there are 30 ring tones and melodies which can be assigned to individual names in the phonebook. The J5 comes with a personal hands-free kit, and is available on Orange's Just talk tariff. Calls are charged at 35p/min peak, 10p/min off-peak for vouchers below £50, and 25p/min peak, 5p/min off peak for the £50 vouchers. For a full breakdown of call pricing, take a look at the technical data.--Simon Pickstock

5.0 out of 5 stars Great phone for a great price, 12 Aug 2001
When i replaced my Nokia for the Sony i was a bit worried that i would loose the great menu (user interface) that the Nokia has to offer but when i switched on the Sony i soon found out that i was definetly not loosing out, the menu system is the best i have ever seen and no matter how bad you are with phones you will be able to work this. Not only is the menu easy to use but it is fast due to the jog dial control and the fact that it is a powerful phone. you can put symbols by the side of your phone numbers (e.g. mobile symbol) this phone is great and i would advise anybody looking for a high quality phone to go for the Sony

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone - Shame about the Ringtones, 15 Aug 2001
By A Customer
The Sony J5 is a cool little phone, it has access to e-mail, easy to use menus and a whole range of other options while still looking good too. The only trouble is, if, like me, you buy one on the strength of these, you are condemming yourself to a life of embarrassment at the hands of the phone's tones which were apparently based on a selection of the most annoying gameboy-like melodies ever. They're completely unlike other ringtones, not one note at a time basics, but sound like proper music, if only they weren't so reminiscent of those stupid Italian plumbers Mario and Luigi. There is not one tone amongst the selection which you would feel comfortable having your boss hear but the J5 does allow you to record your own. Once you've got past the juvenile excitement of recording people saying how cool you are as a ringtone, the novelty will wear off and you'll go back to donkey kong for your sms alert.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small sexy J5 has Powerhouse features, 14 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This small ergonomic delight has many features in a compact package. The jog dial was easy to use and with a dial or a click was able to do anything short of messaging with one hand free.

I often check my office email from business trips and this phone is fully POP3 able, just configure your mail settings and you are ready to check in where ever you are.

The ability of this phone to make its own recordings for ring tones was a nice diversion from the run of the mill rings out there... but most often I used the vibrate feature.

The WAP screen was large enough for messaging or surfing and was crisp and bright in low, or no light situations.

Using this phone is a delight. If you can tear yourself away from the Nokia lemmings, consider this little jem!
