Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

...for me now owning a Sony Ericsson w810i mobile phone. I had been using the same phone, a beat up old Nokia, for more than 5 years and needed something new, as the battery had faded so much that it was next to useless. Not owning a digital camera or a portable music player made me turn my attention to the music phones on the market. I eventually settled on the w810i for a number of reasons. My flatmate had the old k750i, which was a pretty impressive ...
...with its leading "w", the Sony Walkman mp3 player. The shortcut button is easy to get to and the options are well laid out, allowing you to choose between the songs based on song title or by artist. There are minor annoyances in that everything is in the "w" range's bright orange colour and that the ring tones are available on the Walkman as well, which can get in the way, especially when you're playing through tracks rather than by albums. Also, ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

...be used with the New Sony Play Station I believe. More about the memory later on… It also works on the following networks; • EDGE • GSM 850 • GSM 900 • GSM 1800 • GSM 1900 Most of this makes no real difference to us of course and is all preset for us, but it's nice to know you can use it anywhere in the world. It is worth noting that the EDGE technology makes the use of surfing the net on the phone much, much quicker than ...
...unlike a lot of the Sony Ericsson phone were you get a little stick that does it all, which is a total nightmare. The size of the phone is 100 x 46 x 19.5 mm, this sits in your hand just perfectly. The buttons and the dials are set out just right too, so you don't get the problem of touching the buttons you don't want to touch. It weighs 99grams which converts into 3.5 oz. A great weight and easily forgotten if it's in your pocket… (Don't wash it):O) ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

*** Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman Phone *** After about a year of owning a Sony Ericsson K750i phone I decided it was time for a change and after an evening spent on the net looking up phones I finally decided on the Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman phone in White. My initial reasons being that it was Sony Ericsson and it was a walkman phone so I would be able to store more songs on and use the walkman at work instead of taking my mp3 player in. So I ordered ...
...I had been using my Sony Ericsson W890i phone that I got when I decided to get a contract, however with all the problems that I detailed in that review I have swapped back to this W810i and I have no regrets at all I really like this phone! Thanks for reading! Lou x Please note: I am also on Dooyoo as loulou22 so if you see this review on there it isn't a copy :) ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

...information - check out the sony ericsson website. Firstly, it's sleek design means that you can put it in your trouser pocket and it doesn't look bizarre, plus it's fairly light compared to others. The screen is large but scratches easily - clarity's great at the beginning but mine got marked by just loose change which now slightly obscures the view. At first, I found the buttons slightly annoying because they're opposite to Nokia - which I was ...
...a major job. It didn't take long to get used to it though, but I still have a problem with the fact there are 3 buttons in one either side of the centr button and my clumsy fingers still press them - one's for the internet and one's for the walkman. It's not a major point but the newer phones have a much better design now. It's a good phone in that I've never had a problem with reception on the orange network and messaging's good once you get used ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

...spot on. Battery Life Sony Ericsson handsets boast amazing battery life, with the W810i going to as much as 350 hours standby time from only 2 hours on charge.....amazing!! Even with the walkman, games or browsing active, you can still go a long way off one charge (have only charged it once since I bought it four days ago) T9 Predictive Text I really like the predictive text function on Sony Ericsson handsets, and think that even if you are used ...
...much he same as previous Sony Ericssons. If you've never had a SE before, it's really user-friendly, and I haven't had to read the manual for either phone, just plugged in and off!! The buttons are really easy to use and are a little further spaced out making it quick to knock up a quick text. Walkman Function Wow, I love this!!! Am a big fan of Sony MP3's as it is, but this is just so convenient. How many times have I dashed out in the morning, ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

This is the first phone that I ever purchased my self and must say that it was worth the 50 pounds that I purchased it for. The W810i is most certainly a phone worth having. The first thing that you notice about this particular phone is the appearance. Whether of not you like the appearance is completely subjective. I personally think that the design was a step from the predecessor (mainly orange; a bit much). I like the fact that the design is ...
...for the buttons that make some of the phones main features stand out. By main features I mean the walkman and shortcuts. The main feature depicted in most advertising was the Walkman feature. The phone, can indeed be used as an MP3 player. Upon using the installation software that comes free with the phone (Sony Ericsson PC Suite), music can easily be uploaded and played instantly. Provided with the phone are also some amazing earphones. The earphones ...

The box also comes with a PC suite CD that allows you to sync your phone with your computer, you can also sync address books, I do this with outlook for calendar and address books, I am not sure what other email clients it works with.

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

The Sony Ericsson w810i is a brilliant little phone! I got the satin black model on an upgrade of my existing contract with T-mobile a while ago now. Its the second sony ericsson that I've had as for years I always stuck with Nokia. The first Sony Ericsson I got was from the 'K' range that they do and it took a lot of getting used to after using Nokia for so long but after getting to grips with how the menus are layed out its really easy. I liked ...
...fault I have with the sony ericsson w810i is that if you don't keylock it and you hit the play button on the side of the handset, it starts playing whatever you had on last! Always keylock! The battery life is excellent, it lasts at least five days before it goes to red and even when it starts beeping at me it will last for hours if I'm not talking a lot. On the whole this phone is packed full of useful features and an essential accessory, when ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

...As with just about all Sony Ericsson phones, one of the main features of it is the MP3 walkman facility. Although i very rarely use it as a walkman, it is easy to use, it sounds good enough, so what more can you ask for. although the phones memory is a very poor 20MB, enough for approximately 20 minutes of music (if you have nothing else on there) my phone came with a 512MB memory card which is plenty for most people, if not, you can buy a 1GB stick, ...
...buy for it are the sony ericsson mini speakers, they are loud and very good quality sound. The camera on the phone is a 2mega pixel and is quite reasonable. although the camera is not the top of the range, the screen is of quite a high resolution so they are shown clearly and look quite good. You can add frames to pictures, and also add writing to them. the flash is also useful for taking pictures in poor light as it is very bright. this flash also ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

==SONY ERICSSON W810i== The Sony Ericsson W810i is an early Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson. Mine was originally obtained from a contract a few years back but it's currently worth around £70 when bought new, but much less on eBay. It's a candy bar phone with a camera and the ability of playing MP3s out loud. ==NAVIGATION== Navigation is very zippy and I've not experienced any crashes. Moving from screen to screen and selecting the desired options ...
...just as well as later Sony Ericsson phones had a joystick for navigation which was prone to problems. The W810i menu screen is full of little animations, which is nice to look at. The overall theme can be changed and there are even custom ones that can be downloaded. The number buttons each have about a 1cm space between them, vertically and horizontally, so I've always found the buttons easy to press. However, I do occasionally accidentally press ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

The Sony Erricson Walkman W810i phone is amazing. Before owning this I had the rubbish Motorola L6, and upgrading so much was amazing. I had so much more to do on my phone now. You may see alot of people with it, that might show that it is so good. I bought my W810i from Carphone Warehouse back in January 2007, at £140, and it is still working perfectly with no faults. This phone has some great features, which most phones fail to achieve. The high ...
...phones to shame. Even the stop watch and countdown timer which are normally useless features on other phones. On this phone, they are good fun to use. Clear picture and great quality sound, unlike my previous phone. The camera is 2.0 Megapixels, which is very good for a mobile phone. I think 2.0 Megapixels is great for me. I take alot of pictures, and the snaps come out fantastic when uploaded to the computer using the USB. In the camera settings, ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

I bought the Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman in August 2007 from The Carphone Warehouse for £79.95 on Orange and am still currently using it as it is still in good condition. The list below briefly summarises the main features: * 2G Network, GSM, GPRS * Dimensions - 100 x 46 x 19.5 mm * Weight - 99g * Bluetooth & Infrared * 2.0 Megapixel Camera * FM Radio * 20 MB Internal Memory * Card slot for Memory Stick Duo Pro, up to 4GB can be used * SMS, ...
...When I bought the Sony Ericsson W810i, there were only 2 games included (JC Does TEXAS & QuadraPop). There are games available to download, however this is a feature on the phone that I do not use regularly. On a few occasions I did try out these 2 games and felt that the feature was easy to use, using the keypad as a shortcut and clear and simple onscreen instructions. I often use this phone for going on Facebook as I am currently on an Orange ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

...Unlike my previous phone, the Sony Ericsson allows you to zoom in when the photo has been taken. For ease, there is a button on the side of the phone which allows you to jump straight to the camera facility, saves you going through the menus. The phone also allows you to change the effect of the photo you wish to take. You have the choice of none at all, black and white, negative, sepia, solarize. These features are fun to play around with but I ...
...is also a night mode facility and an actual light on the phone which allows you to take much better photos, especially on a night out. In comparison to my Samsung the camera is of a much greater quality on this phone. The only down side is there is no sliding lens cover on the back as there is with the W800i. I have also used to video camera facility but not for any great length of time. The sound quality and picture quality are both very good and ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

I bought my W810i as an upgrade from a K700 back in May 2006. The first thing I noticed about the phone was it's amazing sound quality when used as a walkman. For a mobile phone this was a leap forward in quality of sound from such a simple device. I've used the phone every day since then and most days I listen to music for about an hour, usually when travelling with work. So what else was good about the phone. Well, most things. Features wise it ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

...who have previous experience of Sony Ericson phones will know where certain features are located, but not to fear if you don't it's easy to adjust. A particular favourite of mine was the ability to set 'themes'. These are like a continuation to the wallpaper, for instance you can have an aquarium them which is your desktop and continues through when you open the main menu or look at messages. Also enables you to equip screensavers which are animated. ...
...phone, it was my first Sony Ericson and definitely won't be my last. His simplistic and elegant design holds all the features necessary in a phone as well as a few nice extras....if you want a phone that is special but won't take you a year to get the hang of then this is a perfect option. ...
