Review of the Sony Ericsson W910i
Caroline Telford
The Sony Ericsson W910i is yet another phone in the Walkman phone series. It is a very slim slide phone that includes a Walkman 3.0 player, an FM radio, a 2 megapixel camera with 2.5 digital zoom, HSDPA and shake control and a video camera. It also includes a bass frequency enhancer, TrackID, Play Now, and a series of MP3 ringtones. You will also find a speaker phone and sound recorder. Those are some of the main features of the phone, but there are many more that are of less importance to those looking for a Walkman phone.
On the down side, there are some reports of the Sony Ericsson W910i freezing and turning itself off. Before you make the decision to buy or not buy this model, you want to read all of the reviews to discover if this is a common problem or an isolated one. Even if it common, you may still want the phone based on the other features. It is often the production of a product that makes it lack in qualitytoo much effort is placed on speed rather than quality.
The Sony Ericsson W910i is only 12.5mm thick and has a tapered bottom edge with a very slim profile. When you slide the unit closed, you can see the music controls. Unlike the joystick that appears of many other models, the W910i has a circular navigational key. The screen is large with a high resolution that makes it easy to read. The menus are sharp and are not difficult to navigate like with some phones.
Once you open the keypad on the W910i, you will see the entire keypad. The keys on this model are larger and flatter than on most other models, yet it is still more difficult to use than several competitors models. The keypad is mediocre for textingnot fast but not really slow either. Perhaps SE will find the right keypad for the phones instead of changing them with every new release.
Like all of the phones in the W series, the W910i is a music phone rather than a camera phone. It is compatible with both a conventional stereo and Bluetooth headset. The music controls are positioned on the front of the phone and is completely digital. With the software that is included with the phone, you can transfer music from PC to phone and add music from CDs. The phone is only capable of storing 35Mb, but you can purchase memory cards that will expand to 4GB. It also includes an FM radio with RDS.
The camera is average with 2 megapixels and no autofocus. You want to remember, however, that this is a music phone and not a Cybershot camera phone. You also want to consider any Sony Ericsson W910i review you may readmany people have problems with this phone. If you have good insurance on your phone, you may be fine with it. Otherwise, you may want to look at other options.
