Sound in the earpiece is somewhat muffled, a probable consequence of the materials used to reinforce the vulnerable parts of the splash and dust resistant phone.

Alas Sony withdrawn support for it. I bought mine in and I'm still using it I've bought this phone in and used it for years, when I passed it on to my mother.
It was quite decent for its time and price. However, some problems were persistent. The middle plastic part of its housing broke around the camera button for me three times, two during the warranty period when they replaced the piece.
I didn't abuse the phone, so my bet goes towards it being a design fault. That wouldn't even be such a problem if the phone wasn't supposed to be splash and dust-resistant. The keypad is small and ergonomically a complete failure. Although the phone's housing seems quite solidly built, the details such as the aforementioned plastic piece and the M2 memory card slot cover piece seems to be unable to close properly ruin the final impression.
The paint is prone to chipping but I'll give it that being due to its age rather than build quality. Otherwise, the phone seems decent, even if it's definitely outdated.
