Reviews - Sony CMD X2000

A bit heavy (185g) for a small (147.5x46x26mm) phone like this. Battery (Lithium Ion) is excellent. I charge it at work and it keeps me going throughout the whole weekend at home without letting me down.

Audio quality is very good. A lot better than Philips FIZZ and Ericsson 337.

Jog-dial is very easy to use. It needs some getting used to though because it's easy to `overshoot' choices. Also, while pressing the jog-dial to select a choice, one may move to another choice because of not accurately pressing. After a while this turns out to be OK though.

The length of the phone (147.5) makes it hard to keep in a small pocket.

Modem availability is a disaster. None of the multi-purpose PCMCIA modems support the CM-DX2000. If I'd known this, I might have gone for a Siemens S10 or so. For the rest: Great equipment.
