Sony Ericsson Z1010

Sony Ericsson Z1010 was the first 3G mobile phone developed by Sony Ericsson, and released in 2003.

It was among the 1st range of phones sold by 3 in Australia. It has since been phased out and replaced with newer phones.

The Z1010 has little on-board memory (4MB) but comes with a 32MB MemoryStick Duo card and supports GSM 900/1800 in addition to 3G.

Criticisms

*The cover for the USB plug on the Z1010 does not stay in after the USB connection function has been used occasionally.
*The buttons lose their paint after a year of use. (Not reasonable criticism, common in so many devices)
*The device can heat up after running an intensive task for a long time (mobileTV).(Not reasonable criticism as it's common in 3G mobile phone)
*The strap that comes with the device can get in the way of photos taken with the device, the user must wrap the strap around the device to prevent this from happening.
*Games and applications can only be run from internal memory. This allows for little available memory to store any games. (Not reasonable criticism as it affects many mobile phone in similar generation due to technical limitations)
