The most successful entry-level phones tend to be the ones that don't look cheap. While the spec sheet may be basic, an entry-level handset that boasts slick looks or a well-crafted chassis will be forgiven for the basic 1.3-megapixel camera or lack of 3G. The Sony Ericsson Z555i is aimed at such a market, but will it prove to be an entry-level hit or a low-budget miss?Sony Ericsson Z555 - Prism-style :
Clamshell handsets are tricky phones to master. By their very nature they are big - open it up and it doubles in length, and closing it will often double the thickness. Yet with this in mind, we were still a tad disappointed with the bulk of the Sony Ericsson Z555i.
Sony Ericsson Z555 - Making the most of space :
Open the clamshell up to reveal a large flat keypad that has been decorated with a golden trim. It works really well against the black keys that are big enough to allow easy digit navigation. While the size of the adjoining screen is 1.9-inches, some careful positioning by Sony Ericsson could surely have led to a slightly larger screen.
Sony Ericsson Z555 - Entry-level camera :
The camera is 1.3-megapixels, although shooting in the one-megapixel mode will prevent you from zooming in on a shot. Flip to VGA and you can zoom 2x and QVGA 4x, but the quality of the picture suffers each time you move down the displays.
Sony Ericsson Z555 - Music capabilities :
There is only 12MB of shared memory, although the MemoryStick Micro slot (M2) found under the back cover will enhance your music collection. It's fair to say that the Z555i won't see you binning your iPods and MP3 players.
