After having my phone/camera for over a year now, I was playing around with it and decided to try out the BestPic function for the camera. It captures a series of images every time you take a photo so that you can choose the best one. I was a bit dubious at first thinking that I did not really want to have to go through all the choices everytime I take a photo but found that if you press the camera trigger after the shot it would then be ready for the next photo. That meant that I didn't have to do anything more that without that function. Great I thought! But I foolishly assumed that when I pressed the trigger it saved the default choice.
Foolish indeed! But luckily I happened to go to the picture folder before taking using the BestPic functionality in anger because as it turns out, if you just press the camera trigger and not the save button the photo IS NOT SAVED at all! Way to go Sony Ericsson! I wouldn't have wanted all those less-than-professional shots of family memories anyway.
Another gripe is the proprietary interface designed not for our benefit, but so that SE can monopolise the accessories market. Have you ever tried listening to music on an aeroplane through the shitty SE headphones? In must be such an inconvience to SE to have users like me who want to use noise cancelling or other expensive specialised headphones on all their music making devices.
Other than that though I must say I have been quite happy with this phone compared to others I have owned and am looking forward to upgrading to similar models that will hopefully sport even better cameras. Add GPS (with integrated maps - not that subscription based bullshit) and I will be in heaven!
