In a nutshell: The w200i is a budget phone. For well under £100, you get a very smart, lightweight phone with a Mobile Music Player, a Stereo headset, a camera and a 128MB memory card to store your favourite music tracks on! (Plus a slot so you can upgrade your amount of memory if you want or need to).
If like me, you don't like spending a lot of money for something, then this budget phone is probably what you want! It brings the very successful walkman range to people on a budget. The music player is the same as the one you get in the higher-end models (like the SE w8010i).
This phone is incredibly small, although not the thinnest (although I never did like really thin mobiles anyway). So if you're looking for a wafer thin mobile phone, this one isn't for you. You can easily tap away messages, thanks to the reasonably sized keypad. The navigation system is a bit annoying at times, because it uses a joystick as opposed to navigational buttons like a lot of other mobiles.
Let's get back to the features this little gem has. It has a VGA camera, and is capable of movie capture. Although VGA cameras generally need a lot of light, I've found it to be ok in say my living room. The movie capture has no pre-set time limit, and the quality is ok if you're in a well-lit room. And the microphone picks up sound well, so your voice is well heard during the recording.
In the music player, the phone boasts about something called 'Mega Bass™', which boosts the bass frequencies enhancing the bass without distortion. I have used it, and it does what it says on the tin extremely well. This 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 for me, this isn't a problem for two reasons. One, 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 well. But if you're not happy with them, you can always use your own thanks to the handy-dandy 3.5mm converter which comes with the phone!
Conclusion: If you're looking for a budget phone with plenty of features at a good price, go with this one. You'll be getting an FM Radio, MP3 Player, Camera, movie capture feature and an upgradable memory card slot all for between £30 and £60*.
Advantages: Cheap, Robust, good quality MP3 playback, decent reception quality, radio, good battery life Disadvantages: Poor quality pictures using VGA camera, no bluetooth, screen is too reflective
...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: good price, walkman phone and camera, 3 gadgets in one Disadvantages: no blutooth and reduced camera quality
...download the software from the Sony Ericsson website. It is stylish, tough and durable, has Enhanced bass for better music quality, loud speaker so you can listen to your music without headphones. You can download music, pictures and themes direct from the phone using the wap service. When using the headset the connection plug is prone to coming loose and coming out when it is moved a lot e.g.. In your pocket while walking. one big downfall is there ...

Advantages: Compact with many functions Disadvantages: Recurring problem with sound card
...of purchase on numerous occasions... sony have replaced the sound card and fiddled around with the phone 3 times... alas I still can't listen to music. My solution was simple - buy an MP3 player and use my mobile phone as a simple mobile phone!
A huge disappointment for me, especially as I know others how have the same phone and who are more than happy with the quality! ...

...from Nokia that is Nokia 7310 Supernova.
one year ago I brought Sonyericssonw200i...a walkman phone.

After that I decided to go for nokia....due to trusted phone as well as good battery back-up.
And I brought Nokia 7310 Supernova...

First have a look on some good features that is provided with this supernova.
1) Slim body
2) 2" Bright Display
3) Expandable memory
4) Stereo FM radio
4) Bluetooth, Edge support.
Where it should be improve
1) Battery capacity should be increase
2) 2Megapixel camera is not enough....at least 3.2 Megapixel should be added.
Over all is good phone...
Now have a brief discussion about some features
****

...SonyEricsson K530i - my review
INTRODUCTION:
I have used SonyEricssonW200i since 2005, and now, few months ago I bought SonyEricsson K530i. I didn't need anything amazing, I just needed simple phone for working, mostly I call and send sms-s with that and this is pretty good phone for that.
Why I chose SonyEricsson?
1) One good thing about SonyEricsson phones, is surely battery life.
2) Sound and picture quality is awesome.
3) SonyEricsson phones are with excellent quality.
As I already said, my old phone was SonyEricssonW200i, it was walkman, but I didn't find anything wonderful about the walkman, so this time, I decided to buy SonyEricsson phone, which don't have walkman music player. First time, I used it, I found out some music player, and in my opinion, it was exactly same as walkman music player...
