    Advantages Advantages easy to use and soo attractive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    There’s a new phone on the block ! I have had my last phone for some time now and have been really happy with it. I didn’t think anything could replace the easy to use features of it. However, last week the phone froze. I think my Granddaughter sucking it might have had something to do with it. My contract only had 6 weeks to go so after phoning Orange and trying several things to get it going, there were still several problems with it. I could get into the contacts and managed to save them onto the SIM. However, texting and taking photos was a no-no. Orange gave me several options one of them ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great Sound, Easy, Same Format As Older Models

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Unreliable Software Can Cause Problems

    I was recently due my mobile phone upgrade, and I am not a technology body, I don't like learning new things, I don't like change, and I like what I know. So knowing all the above, I thought about the phone I was replacing, the Sony Ericsson w880i, I had got used to the Sony Ericsson layout and didn't want to learn something new, so this narrowed my search to Sony. I was not at all interested in the lastest, bestest phone, which according to my other half is the iphone. No thank you. I don't like touch screen, and I generally use my phone as a phone, I don't need a mini computer in my bag ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good battery life, lots of useful functions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not easy to find these days

    I got this phone about 3 years ago free with a contract and I am still using it today. I have had three upgrades since including a new smart phone and have given them all to my partner as I prefer to use this one. The phone is available from £100 used on Amazon. It was first released in 2008. My phone is silver with a black keypad, looks and feels good. There is a little sliding lock to stop the back falling off the phone or coming loose. The phone is easy to navigate especially for those who have had sony ericsson phones before. It is east to change settings and change the volume, turn on/off ... more

    Advantages Advantages Many features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't last long before strange occurrences in performance

    When I first bought the sony ericsson W705, I was astounded at the wide range of features it has. It has wifi capabilities, it had radio capabilities, youhad access to an online store where many applications and games were offered and finally, this phone offered a shortcuts menu, where you could select an application fast and easily. However, over time, the short-comings of this phone began to outweigh its range of capabilities. The unlocking mechanism on the phone began to break down, this randomly unlocked my phone and going on the internet, ot calling people or playing music. This got very ... more

If you are looking for a phone that has alot of memory for your mp3 ringtones this is the phone for you and if your looking for a ... more
