Sony Ericsson Xperia X5 Pureness Reviews
Pocket Lint reviews the Sony Ericsson Xperia X5 Pureness and writes;
“Battery life is better than the current average, bringing back to what you’d expect from a phone a few years back, thanks to the limited hardware specs. You’ll probably get a few days from it before you need to charge it.”

MobilechoiceUK reviews the Sony Ericsson Xperia X5 Pureness and writes;
“Pros: Unique design, great music player and bundled Bluetooth headphones, cheaper than other luxury handsets. Cons: It’s sometimes difficult to see the display on the transparent screen, making texting a little difficult and web browsing very uncomfortable.”

“For those of you interested in what the deal with the headset is, it turns out to be a Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 Bluetooth headset. They are actually very cool, and worked really well – once I found a user guide for them. Good sound and a really great design.”
