Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

I'm a strange combination of Luddite and skinflint, always reluctant to go for new technology when the old stuff still works fine and is easier to understand and never diving in to buy the latest shiny new gadget just because it is new and shiny and preferring things that do more than one thing, so I don't have to buy more things than absolutely necessary. It is this former that left me without a CD player until the very late 1990s and the latter that caused me to buy a PS2, so I could have a games console and a DVD player in one, rather than buying one of each. The combination is responsible ... more

So the W810i specifications and what it's all about; The screen is totally amazing. The clarity of everything is second to none, and something I have never seen before on a mobile phone. It has a 262.144 colour TFT screen which is 176 x 220 pixels. Exceptional I must say. When playing games, sending texts and watching videos etc, it really is in a class of its own. The memory is also quite exceptional, a huge step up from the S700i that I purchased a little over a year ago. 20MB internal memory comes as standard (depending on what your service provider has thrown onto it, and most of it can be ... more

*** 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.

So I ordered my phone on O2 pay as you go for £149 out of the Littlewoods catalogue. Three long days later my new phone arrived. After inserting the sim and ... more

I've had my W810i for over 2 years now and even though I've had upgrades, I've always kept this phone instead (I do have the W850i as my homephone so check out that review!) Though it's looking a little worse for wear, the technology's still up to date and most of it still works fine. I'll go through most of the features but for the full product 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 ... more

I got this phone just a few days ago, having upgraded from a K750i. Was tempted by the W800i when that first came out, but really didn't like the colour, which is why I went for the W810i as soon as it was available! Design First of all, the phone looks super-stylish and surprisingly "unisex". The silver navigation button in the centre has replaced the somewhat problematic joystick of the W800i/K750i, whilst still being easy to use. If you've had a W800i/K750i the menu system is a little different, basically the same folders just slightly shuffled/expanded upon. Camera Have listed this as a ... more
