Advantages: Bright Screen, a lot of features Disadvantages: No bluetooth
...again is an option which Sony Ericsson has put on their higher end model phones. As well as all this, the phone has an FM Radio, which has great reception! I used to listen to the radio in College sometimes when doing my work, and it was very rare for it to lose reception. The only thing people may miss is Bluetooth. Instead the phone has an infrared port. The lack of Bluetooth may make customers go with a different model or brand of mobile. But ... ...I never really used it on my older mobile. And second, most of my friends have infrared! So if I need to send something across or vice-versa, we can do it with the infrared port. The screen on this phone is bright and very easy to see. And the nice animations when navigating around the phone add a nice touch as well. The loudspeaker on the phone is about average. And the stereo headphones which come supplied with the phone are of good quality as ...

...pocket. In my opinion, the Sony Ericsson W200i combines both of these traits. In the box you will find everything you need to get you started, including a USB connector cable, software for transferring files, a 128 MB memory card and a set of headphones.
The software which comes with it is easy to install and allows you transfer WMA and MP3 files directly form a CD or from your computer to the memory card inside the phone. It's quite fast, so you ... ...a text or take pictures.The Sony Ericsson W200i also has a radio so you can listen to any radio station while on the go.
Another good feature of this product is the long-lasting battery. From a full charge my phone lasts me around 5 straight days even with quite heavy use. You can either charge the phone up from the mains charger provided in the box, or via your computer using the USB cable.
However, there are also a few disadvantages to this product. ...

Advantages: Fairly Cheap, FM Radio Disadvantages: Small built in memory, lacks bluetooth
...of the cheapest phones that sony produce, that however does not mean it rubbish it is that price becuase it is an average phone, with all of the normal features, except there is one thing missing, it's bluetooth. This is a major set back becuase the only way this phone can connect to another is through infra-red, and that is rather inconvenient. However this phone does have its plus sides, for example it is a Walkman so at the push of one button ... ...would agree here the whole sony Ericsson range looks good, this is no exception it is a good looking phone, it might not be the slimmest in the world, but it is very good value for money. What's more if you buy it now you could probably get it for around £30-50, as the price has dropped rapidly, but because it is so robust it will probably last you a fair while. So on the whole i would say the this phone has an average range of features for a fairly ...

Advantages: Easy to use, includes many useful things, memory card included. Disadvantages: The phone doesn't have bluetooth, only infrared.
I brought this Sony Ericsson 1 month ago, and it is still in 1 piece. It's very easy to use and can slip into your pocket without filling up or falling out. When I brought it, it came with a SIM card, handsfree set, USB cable, memory card, battery, and of course "the phone"! I uploaded my music from my computer to my phone very easily, it also comes with a CD to upload onto your computer. Although when I attempted to upload the CD it said it only ... ...to upload the CD onto your computer to be able to upload music, pictures, videos onto your phone. It uses a MicroSD card with slots into the side, it has a cover over it so to stop the card from falling out. It comes in white, pink or black. I got mine in pink with the network Orange. It looks fabulous, on the pink phone it has a cute little design around the screen which really makes it a women's phone. It's also a walkman, so it is made to listen ...

Advantages: Nice looking, good features, MP3 player, small and compact, excellent price Disadvantages: No bluetooth, joystick sometimes a little difficult to use, camera flash sound in silent mode
...- one of my other Sony Erics is older and has this! I was surprised to find it lacking bluetooth and certainly not impressed. The joystick in the centre of the phone is quite difficult to use, and when you're typing a message using predictive-text like myself, it can be quite hard to scroll down to the word you're looking for with the joy-stick. Also, because the keys are quite close together, it can be hard not to press the wrong button and wipe ... ...you have chunky fingers! Also, when you're taking a photo in silent mode, it still makes that annoying "camera flash" sound - and is very loud! In conclusion, this is a good phone, but it lacks bluetooth which is the biggest dissapointment. I don't know of many phones that don't come without bluetooth today. Ultimately, though, it's a cheaply priced phone which looks fashionable and you can't expect the same up-to-date technology which comes from ...

well i own this phone. I have had it for about a year now. So yes it is a old phone indeed but it still is a good phone.
When i first got the phone i thought well its lenght is small but the depth of it is huge. so to say the least i didnt like it much until i turned it on and i seen for my self just how good it was.
The memory on this phone is amazing it has about 60mb on the phone its self not only that but you also get a 128mb memory card included ... ...a 2mpixel camera.
It also has a mp3 player and a fm radio It comes with the head phones which i might add are amazing they make any music players music loud i love them they are amazing!!
The mp3 player in the phone is great to its easy to change the volume up or down you can also put your sound tracks on shuffle so you dont have to listen to your songs in one continous loop.
The buttons are not small so u cant type properly and not to big they ...

Advantages: A lot more than you would expect for the price Disadvantages: Lack of Bluetooth
I paid £60 for this phone, £50 for the handset and a mandatory £10 of credit. I got the phone as a quick replacement because i broke my last one, i wasn't expecting anything fancy at all. Looks wise the phone is good, its a nice shape, the shape mobile phones should be, not too bulky, not too small that you will lose it down the sofa, the buttons are well laid out, with buttons on the side to control some functions including the mp3 player.

Other things i like about this phone is the camera is good quality, offering zoom functions, panorama shooting, burst shooting and other features like that, the overall weight of ...

...relatively low price (38.00 including Sony Ericsson speakers from some places). It comes with a very basic camera (only 0.3 megapixel) which has no flash which is fine for simply sharing quick snaps with friends, but won't be used in winning any photography competitions.

The main drawbacks I found during usage with this phone were the lack of any ...

Very stylish mobile phone, light weight and mostly easy to use. Fashionable and features are consistently attractive. Has lots of extra features which make it very good value for money; calculator, world clock, bluetooth and infared, MP3, games, poly ringtones, voice recorder, music DJ (compose your own songs), good camera and video, photo DJ to edit your pictures and videos and more.
All standars features are of very high spec.

Advantages: Large Address Book, Cheap Disadvantages: Not Very Good Camera, Low Call Quality, Awful Customer Care
This phone is quite stylish and has quite a few 'cool' features. It also usually comes at a very low price but this shows in the quality of the phone. I have found that occasionally my phone will freeze for no reason. I contacted the makers and they suggested downloading the update software which failed to work so i just decided to live with it. It has a very good mp3 player and radio which are very useful for those long trips out. The address book ... ...can also store more than one number for each contact e.g. a home and mobile number. Although the text message memory is not very large and will only hold around 150 texts all together. The internet is quite fast on it. The games are not the best but they will keep you entertained if you are just looking for a simple thing to entertain you. The camera is quite a low quality but will do if you want to take some amateur photography. There are a small ...
