Nothing’s changed much with the user interface of the Sony Ericsson Zylo. The only tweak has been the optional change to displace or replace the widgets on the home screen. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Music Genie and Walk Mate are the options although social networking sites will get the most votes. As said earlier the media shortcut key gives access to various widgets and application by either pressing it left or down. It’s a nice of way of keeping up with the applications rather than go through the daily grind.

The phone book stores upto 1000 contacts and 7000 numbers in a simple list and no knitting available with SNS sites. It might not offer the variety, but it offers the count that is optimum. The Zylo also supports push email and threaded messaging with attachments. As typing is a consequence of a traditional keypad, long emails is a forgettable experience.

Talking about the camera, the 3.2-megapixel resolution is not bad to say the least. While this may be true, it fails to click acceptable images. As no flash exists, indoor photos also depend on existing light conditions. The video recorder is dependent on a VGA camera that surprisingly plays quality shoots compared to the images.

Lastly, but of immense importance comes the music part. Zylo is a music phone and that’s what it should be bought for. It runs the latest Walkman version illustrated by its various themes allowing searching for artists, files, playlists and genres. It also makes available the accelerometer feature in the Media Centre along with traditional Sony features such as Clear Audio, MegaBass, TrackID, Stereo widening and Gesture control. Zylo truly stands up from other phones due to FLAC support capable of high quality audio listening. Sony provides headphone in the box, but if want a genuine Walkman experience it is recommended that you buy the latest and better ones available from Sony.
