Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...the fuss is about over Sony Ericsson Walkman phones. -The Box- This mobile box is unlike the others, as instead of the normal plain cardboard box this is a plastic slim box with an orange lid bearing the Walkman symbol. It measures just over 23-cm tall and13 cm wide. When you open the lid you must be careful as you slide the cardboard around the phone out and see just what you have got! The box displays clearly all the main features of the phone, ...
...looks very nice but the Sony Ericsson badge and writing going up vertically does spoil it a wee bit. Over all the style is amazing and really makes you look twice at this phone, I love it and I'm sure you would too. -battery- The battery is just a standard Sony Ericsson 3.6volt battery that slots nicely over the sim card and through the phone. It is easy to place in and take out again if needed and full instructions of how to do so can be found ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...the top of the range Sony Ericsson W800i, a phone that's also a 2MP camera and a walkman. The reason he actually ended up with this particular model, is that he decided to finally take the plunge and get a contract phone instead of PAYG, and this was available for free with the contract he chose. ---The Styling--- The W800i is one modern looking phone, being mainly pearl-white in colour with orange highlighting. This doesn't sound a very nice combination ...
...it sounds. This is NOT a flip-phone, and therefore is not the smallest phone to hit the shelves, but that's not to say it is in anyway bulky. Measuring in at 10 x 4.6 x 2cm it certainly doesn't create much of a bulge in the pocket, and at just 99g it certainly won't weigh you down. ---The Battery--- For me at least, one of the most important parts of a mobile phone is the battery, it's life and how long it takes to charge. Charging wise, things ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

I have the W800i in black, and it\'s one of the best buys i have had, despite a couple of initial hiccups. The phone\'s features (and it has quite a few) are as follows: 1. Walkman- displays what track is now playing, what artists you have on file; the tracks, playlists and videos. The display facilities are great, simply because it enables you to flit from one track to the next. The artists are listed alphabetically (for those of us who like things ...
...simpler to navigate. The playlist feature is cool too, because you can choose what you want to hear when. My kids especially love the video feature on the phone, as one of the demos has a cartoon on it. The phone enables you to download tracks and music videos, and regular movie clips etc, depending on what you can get a hold of online. 2. world wide web- you can navigate your way through the internet, using your server\'s online mobile facilities. ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

Let's just put this on the table - this is not the first review of the W800i so is not going to tell you about a hidden feature that no ones discovered But.. it's going to be honest and straight down the line which is what you want to and need to hear before thinking about buying this little peice of apricot pie. I've had my w800i for almost a year and given it a full workout now so I feel like I've bonded and can be objective in my review. Is it ...
...got your eye on, then yes, it's pretty good. If you text a lot and pound those buttons more then the sounds pound you, then I think you may want to deliberate a little. What's hot? The phone doubles as a camera quite nicely with a dedicated button on the side and nice software features on the phone to edit the pictures. At 2 mega-pixels its not a heavyweight player but you'll be pleased with the results on the screen and when connected up to a ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...phones since then but, the Sony Ericsson W800i is my favourite, so far. If you're like me and a texter then this phone is brilliant it has predictive text which brings up a list of words and even puts your most used at the top of that list making texting really quick. You can store around 150(ish) in your inbox/sent boxes and you can chose which you want to delete when the memory is full, if like me you save the ones telling you how fab your are!! ...
...on the links to the Sony Ericson site which is really easy to do. There is also plenty of free ringtones, message alerts etc on there too. You can even access google, and many other web pages. (sadly not my bank yet as the page is too large, but this does save me from fainting in public places at the sight of my bank balance). The other good thing about this phone is that you can, ring people with it, text, picture message, and email too! Amazing ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

I've stuck with Sony Ericsson phones now for a while due to their reliability, good battery life and ease of use and all in all the W800i is no exception. The phone is sleek, good looking, lightweight and compact although the keys are not always as user friendly as I'd like. Features: Ringtones A few polyphonic are included and there is also a sample of real music tunes already installed on the phone. They are not full tracks though. Vibrating ...
...Calendar Alarm clock - I always use my phone to wake me up. Speakerphone facility is available during calls and has a good quality as well. The caller do not hear themselves when they are on speaker so no annoying feedback or confusing calls. This model, like the ones before has useful voice dialling facility. It also has a facility where you can record audio - leave yourself messages to listen to later, record other people or just record your ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

Sony Ericsson W800I Yep, it's another phone review. I got given this at work and even though this model is way older than my Samsung Z400, I was just hoping the battery life on this phone is much better than that. As this is a discontinued phone not many places still stock it and the only place that you might find it is Ebay or another auction sites. Overview of the phone Design: A candybar design as they call it in the business but to us normal ...
...to buy one. Also Sony Ericsson memory card seems to be the most expensive on the phone market as they use their own brand. This phone takes Memory Stick Duo, which also works in a PSP. The memory slot is on the left-hand side at the bottom of the phone. The radio feature is brilliant on this phone. It stores all the radio stations that you have pick up. You can only use the radio when the headphones are plugged in, as they are the aerial to pick ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...you can get. The Sony Ericsson W800i is an excellent phone, its really easy to use and pretty much self explanitory. The best feature for me is the camera it has an excellent quality even when your out in dark places like night clubs and stuff the pictures still come out good, the flash light is extreamly bright which does tend to leave little blobs floating around in your eyes for a minute or so but at least the pictures turn out really good so ...
...anymore all you need is your phone! They are also really easy to download onto a computer you get a couple of different tools to help you do this like a usb cable, but i use a much easier thing which you just put your memory card in to and then put it straight in the computer which i think is alot better than messing with cables and leads. The video camera is also great and you can download them just the same as pictures. The MP3 player is also ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...not that expensive. With a sony memory stick adaptor which you can use with most new multimedia laptop all in one card readers, to quickly transfer data, I believe this is quicker than a USB too. Now the cheapest iPod Nano 2 Gb is about £130, you can get this phone free on a twelve month contract and could buy a SanDisk 2Gb card for £60, consider that this phone is not that much bigger than an iPod Nano in length and breadth and is maybe three times ...
...have found with all of Sony Ericsson's recent phones, that is the software interface is very confusing and the buttons are not very well set out. This sounds trivial, given the features, but I assure you its not, this phone is a pain, its counter intuitive and down right fiddly. First I appeal directly to the guys who designed this phone, please change the cancel button, take away its delete function and make it the return to the main screen button ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...review of the immensely popular sony Ericcson w800i-sonys first walkman phone-compatible with mp3's and has given ipod a run for its money!This is part of the new walkman phones, the second one being the Sony w550i, and the new one which is yet to arrive is the sony w900i-so people have a read of this!!! I recieved this phone when it first arrived, to be honest it was on the virgin network in July/august,- i cant remember! Obviously the phone has ...
...updated model of the popular sony k750i which set the trend of the 2megapixel camera! So here we go: MP3 PLAYER: Firstly there is a walkman music button on the menu so you can start the distinct walkman player-so very simple to set up and hey presto! The phone comes with great software which is really helpful when wanting to transfer the music from your mobile to the memory card-(memory stick duo cards used-but can get cheaper san disk cards too). ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...as user friendly as the Sony Erickson and the buttons were tiny, also it had a much larger screen! I have had a few other phones while owning the W800i but I always feel the W800i shines through and Ive yet to find one that can beat its all round usefulness. You can zoom and edit pictures, and use them for screensavers, wallpapers etc, and removing the memory card and putting it straight in a laptop with a 4 in 1 memory card reader you can view your ...
...music tunes to the memory card to play in the phone as ringtones,msg alerts or just Walkman tunes. Size of phone is comparable to a Nokia 8210, or 6100 and fits in the pocket nicely. Being over a year old now it still looks fresh, comes very well presented in the plastic case when purchased and should make any future owner proud to own one!!! ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...4 months after owning another Sony Ericsson W800i for about a year. I swapped it for this new one because the screen had began to get dimmer and dimmer on it and also the joy stick would not let me move left at all. I have also found this problem on this new Sony Ericsson after just 4 months. The joystick has started to jam due to leaving it in my pocket for most of the day. The menu system is easy to use providing your joystick works! The menu ...
...used but i downloaded the Sony Ericsson Theme Creator from there website and have found this to be a great tool, which i recommend anybody with this phone to get as it allows for great phone customisation that is simple. The phones keypad, joystick excluded, is great. The buttons are nicely spaced which makes it easy to text and store phone numbers. The phone speaker, I have found to be too quiet. I have found myself asking people to shout down ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...its day. Based on the sony k750i this phone boasts some very nice features. Phone technology is just advancing so fast. Who would have thought five years ago that soon our phones would contain a music player, digital camera and be able to access the internet. The world is at your fingertips just through your phone today. I got the sony w800i after my contract ran out with orange. I had been messed around considerably by orange so decided to move ...
...metallic orange sides sporting the sony walkman logo. The key pad buttons are all fairly close together and are white with orange lighting. The menu buttons are made of a shiney silver metal and also have an orange glow when lit up. The phone is navigated by a metal joystick situated in the middle of the menu buttons. The back of the phone has a silver camera plate with a sliding mechanism to open and shut the lens cover. There is also a flash just ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...been a big fan of Sony Ericsson, so I may be a little biased and I did have a break from them just recently, trying out a Motorola (V600 - see my review) and a Nokia (6230 - I didn't review this because I'm a gentleman and wouldn't want to upset you all with my language) When I saw this phone come on the market I went for it straight away. My chance to get back to SE after the dismal Nokia - it's a bit like comparing a Bi-plane with Concorde. Nokia ...
...The phone comes supplied with Sony Ericssons own software for transferring music to the phone (called Disc-to-Phone - how original!!) It will take your CD, convert it to MP3 format and then transfer it to your phone. Unfortunately it's slow and quite tempremental at times. To get round this I simply take the memory card out of my phone, plug it into the card reader on my PC and drag and drop the music - simple and much quicker. To do this however ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman

...When I found the Sony Ericsson W800i It was love at first sight. The main body is pearly white and is highlighted with a metalic orange on the sides and on some of the buttons. Alot of people say they don't like this but I think it looks great. It has rounded corners (health and safety aware :P) and for the time, a very large screen. - - Features - - When I buy phones I am generally looking for something that is alot more then something that can ...
...with the help of the sony ericsson in-ear headphones which are supplied with the phone which act as an antenna. These headphones also happen to be the greatest headphones I have ever witnessed (Amazing bass!) which is great when they are free :) There is a whole lot more you can do such as create your own music tracks, edit your videos, edit your pictures and record sound, oh and also play games :) Overall this phone has everything that anyone could ...
