...not so sure. SONY PHONES I rate Sony Ericsson phones at the top of the pile of the decent makes. They always have excellent build quality and the menus are functional and easy to use.

...phone on to get the sony ericsson logo and it popped up with normal mode or flight mode.

Advantages: Slim design, music player, its a sony ericsson
Disadvantages: video capture

...the somewhat brick like early Sony Ericsson phones they have proved far superior to the majority of other brands. There is something about them that is fresh and dynamic; they are a little more cutting edge perhaps without being overcomplicated. This particular model, the w880i is great, with an abundance of features and a nice sleek design it's easy to use and even easier to conceal. I won't bore you to death with the millions of features it ... Read review

Advantages: Call quality and looks.
Disadvantages: The camera.

...help compensate the pathetic camera, Sony give you a good music player. The sound is of high quality. You can listen with your headphones or with the external speaker. The player is nice and easy to get around and you'll have no trouble sorting play lists out and so on. Transferring music is simple, a little slow but simple. Just install the software and away you go. You get a few EQ settings, very important for adjusting to different styles of music ... Read review

Advantages: Slim, Small, mp3 Player, 3G, Very Stylish
Disadvantages: Small Buttons, Speakers, Problematic Battery?

This is the first Sony Ericsson phone I have owned and being so used to the Nokia layouts, menus and functions I was worried that I will need to spend hours learning the shortcuts, menus, functions and what have you. However, I needn't have worried. The W880i is just as easy to use as the Nokias. The menus are easy to navigate and the functions are pretty much the same as any other phone. So saying that, why is this W880i such a great phone? Well ... Read review

...my last phone was a Sony Ericsson W550i, the phone served me very well untill the charger/usb/headphone port didn't want to work any more, when it broke I could no longer charge, listen to music or connect it to my PC. So I went and got the W550i, when I opened it i could not beleave how thin it was, and its looks are stunnning, Starting up my phone was easy, I put my old sim into it, and when I turned it on, it asked my to enter the time and date ...

...the latest handset from the Sony Ericsson Walkman range. I'll try and not waffle on too much about the exact spec of the phone, you can find that elsewhere. But I'll tell you from a users point of view what is good, and what really isn't. It is very light, very small, and for the first time ever I have a 3G phone that fits in my pocket without ripping the seams! I like the design. Quite simply - its nice! THE MUSIC The upside...

Advantages: Its so thin, light with lots of features.
Disadvantages: Suspect robustness, small buttons, takes getting used to.

...didn't think so. So what sony have done is put some sort of intelligent sensor which adjust the right amount of light to the camera to provide a better quality picture. That said pictures taken on a sunny day always look better than in dull days or indoors, but tell me a cameraphone that is like that. Add a whole host of other applications like bluetooth, internet access, T9 Texting, Video and everything else you can expect from a good phone then ... Read review

Disadvantages: battery life, camera quality, no radio

Well, what can i say about this stylish phone? Firstly, an overall good fone, reliable, good reception and due to its small sleak design, i have come to find it is also quite a hard wearing phone (as i have dropped mine a few times and it still works perfectly) i am also happy with the "rubber" back on the phone as i feel this helps with the durabilty of the phone, as the phone does look so fragile it suprisingly is not! as people have mentioned ...
