Hello and welcome to this review!
Im here today to write about my excellent phone - The Sony Walkman W350i! I bought this 3 months ago from eBay so I have had quite a lot of time to try and test it:) So I will try to make this review as honest and correct as possible.
For the price 39 Pounds!!!!!! This is a FANTASTIC phone
I would happily pay up to 80 Pounds for a phone like this one, it has so many features and is very nice looking.
When I first saw the phone I knew I had to have it! I just had to, i don't know what but something attracted me towards it! maybe its the good looks? or the features? Im unsure.
This phone comes in a very nice box with many bits inside! as it is a walkman phone it even included a little memory card that holds around 40 songs.
In the box I recieved: The Phone The Charger Data Cable Funky EarPhones / Handsfree Kit Memory Card Case Vodafone sim Pack Disk for computer use And a pile of leaflets!
The box was very well packed and designed by sony making sure everything was held in place, usually when I buy mobiles the parts are scattered throughout the box but this was perfect.
When I opened the phone I realised how nice it was, however I ordered an orange but a purple arrived! Haha oh well:) it'l do I thought.
It is a really great quality Mobile Phone, It does not creak and squeek while on the Phone (Especially Samsungs) The phone looks very stylish and modern with a touch of class, A nice big ish screen, nice keypad like a lot of the sony range. Luckily this one has not got that annoying joystick that the usual sonys have!
The phone itself has two purposes: It can be used as a normal phone ORRRR an MP3 Player ( Walkman )
There is a flap that comes over the keypad and this is where the phone gets its magic from. This flap makes the phone! ----- When the flap is open the phone is a phone ----- When its closed it is an mp3 player with fully operating walkman buttons and a standby phone. Its wicked!
The phones screen and interface are very nice and easy to use! The screen is very bright and the interface is easy to use as with all Sony phones. When the flap on the front is closed the Walkman interface pops up on the screen and you can choose what songs you want to listen to etc.
The speaker built in the phone is very good, it can sound slightly tinny at times BUT the flap on the front has another use. When you pull the flap to the back of the phone it supports the phone on a hard surface and amplifies the sound! AMAZING!
Now onto the phone itself ( Used as a Phone )
The phone itself is great. Its very easy to text using its keys, they are nicely arranged and very easy to press unlike other phones I have used.
The earpiece can go very loud if you want it to! just use the handy up and down volume keys on the side of the phone, I nearly deafened myself once when I accidently pressed up! I had a bit of a head ache for a while lol.
The phone also has speaker phone, just plonk it down and carry on speaking. However when I use this peopel say that they cannot hear me as clear. Maybe mine is faulty but im not sure:(
The phone has a built in 1.3mp camera, its Okay! its not brilliant but its OKay, its fine if you only take a few snaps now and then when you have not got your propper camera with you. it also has night mode which WORKS!!! I've tested it:)
The phone is very comfortable to hold while on those long conversations. Its also very slim so its easy to pop in your pocket when you are done talking.
The back of the phone is covered in a type of rubber that doesn't look like rubber, Know what I mean:?? But its great! It honestly does NOT scratch, I have droped it on concrete and it aint marked one bit!
The phone has a nice selection of ringtones however I do not like many of them, most of them are too quiet but there are some loud ones if you search around a bit!
The phone has a built in radio, as with all phones the handsfree kit must be plugged in for it to work (As it is used as an aerial) i can definately say the radio is very good indeed. The signal is fab.
Is the battery any good??
YES! I use my phone all the time and I only have to charge it every 3 days. If it was not used much I recon it could easily do a week on one charge.
This phone is on Vodafone, I also use this network but this phone seems to pick up the signal better than all of the other phones I have owned, I can now make calls in places that I could not with my other mobiles. Maybe the network has bucked up their ideas?? Nope I think its the phone:)
MMS Messages are also supported by this phone (MMS messages are picture messages for those of you who don't know) They download very quickly and are displayed nicely on the large (ish) screen.
Other features the phone has are: Alarm Clock Calculator Games Recorder (sound) Musiic DJ Converter Calendar
The one thing I can complain about with this phone is the lack of a video camera! I really thought a great phone like this would include one, but that is the only thing it is missing, Oh well:(
Any way This is a fantastic phone! and I really do recommend it,
Thanks for reading and I hope this has been helpful 5**** From me
Advantages: Small - looks good - great sound - easy to use Disadvantages: Flimsy - slow internet speeds - average camera
The first thing that i thought when I unboxed this phone i thought - wow i've got to be delicate with this - it just felt like it could be broken very easily - this thought grew stronger when i took the back off in order to insert the battery and pulled the lid down to reveal the keypad.
But this was just a first thought - after having this phone for months - i now realise it is quite sturdy and reliable - it is very very light. The phone is very ... ...- but you adjust to it after a while.
There is a 1.3 megapixel camera on this phone - it is OK - this camera resolution is very dated - and you can tell that this was not a priority in the final build of the phone. It is not a bad camera - but i would not rely on it for holiday photos or anything important - its more for taking a picture to send to a friend or something.
The walkman feature on the phone is amazing - it can be activated by closing ...

Advantages: Stylish, great sound, cheap, easy to use Disadvantages: no video, flash and only 1 . 3 mp camera
...one of the best looking Sony Ericssons to date. Very light weight (70g), stylish, especially if you have one in "ice blue" or "white", some networks have a limited choice of colours so look around (I paid extra to own it in white and then paid 10 pounds more to get it unlocked). It may not be the phone for a tech wiz, who would probably prefer w810i but is a great little accessory for people who like stylish, great music and easy to use products.
... ...Quality is fantastic. The phone offers Mega Bass feature which truly brings your music to life
* Built in memory is pretty low but you can get an m2 4G card for 10 pounds from Amazon, just make sure that it is not over 4 gb, as its the capacity for this model.
* 1.3 mp camera with no flash or video recording. (I do not think of it as a disadvantage as it is not the point of this phone. Anyway how many people actually use their phone cameras for ...

Advantages: Easy to use, small and slim Disadvantages: Battery life
I have been using this phone for a couple of months now and in my opinion, its fairly decent and easy enough to use. I wanted a cheap payg phone which would be used as just that, a phone. It doesnt have any fancy features on it and to be honest, I havent yet used the mp3 as I don't need to. But for a phone to text and call with, its pretty good. Predictive text is easy to use and to send a text to someone only takes a couple of screens, unlike my ... ...screens just to get to the confirm send screen. The only drawback I find is the battery life, its poor in my opinion, nearly every day I have to charge it up, even if it is on standby. Now I don't mind doing that overnight but for some people who don't always have access to their chargers I can see this becoming very annoying for them. So overall, a good cheap phone if you want to phone and text, but don't expect an amazing camera and loads of fancy ...

Quick review of Sony Ericsson W350i Walkman
I am using sony ericsson 350i mobile since 2 months. And the response from this mobile is not so good. The main problem of this mobile is volume of this mobile is so low. and no video recording in this mobile available. And other problems is it can't support 3gp videos over 2 minutes etc. The camera is of 1.3 megapixel. And after some time its flap may also create problems for the user. It is slim mobile. So I suggest all the mobile purchaser plz don''t purchase it if you are going to purchase it. One day it suddenly hang and I am trying to switch on it but it only give flash. SO pl z gather whole information before you purchase it.

Manufacturer's product description
You'll draw admiring glances when you take the W350 out of your pocket or bag. It is sleek enough to fit comfortably with no bulges into your pocket or purse. Its unique flip covers the keypad for a minimalist look. The phone is a classy yet modern statement that is never out of place whether at a music gig or a football match. The W350's Walkman player can easily be accessed and operated even without opening its flip cover. With Walkman on top, key MP3 functions including Play, Pause and Scroll are outside the phone's flip cover so you can use it just like you would a standalone MP3 player. The W350 makes it straightforward to transfer music onto your phone. Whether your favorite tracks are on a CD or on your computer, all you need to do with the phone's intuitive Media Manager software is drag your tracks from your computer onto your phone via a USB cable. You can store up to 470 tracks or 40 entire albums and, once your music is onto your phone, it's also easy to navigate around it with the Walkman player. You're at the bar, and a song plays that you used to love... but you just can't place it! Sounds familiar? Thanks to TrackID, it need never happen again. Just record a few seconds of the song into the phone's microphone (or tag it from the built-in radio) and use TrackID to identify it. The phone provides you with the name of the song, the artist, and even the album so that you can download it and enjoy it again and again. You don't need to hold the phone in your hand to get the best out of the W350. With the Bluetooth headset, you can stream the music on your phone wirelessly to your ears! Your phone can be in your bag and you can still listen to the music, see which song is playing and take calls.
