The "Wii" Phone

Advantages: Great technology to simulate real life games
Disadvantages: Small screen and no advanced camera features

...I bought this phone three days ago at a shopping mall. One reason why I purchased this phone is for the sole purpose of playing. Another reason is that I found its looks attractive and stylish, with its nice exterior finishes. I don't have a Nintendo Wii and I am a fan of it. However, I found the F305 to be the best substitute for the Wii, whilst experimenting with its features last night at the comfort of my home. Sony Ericsson's F305 is the latest gaming phone with motion sensor technology and delicate game controls. This phone was targeted at youths and game fanatics. It uses its camera to recognise and respond accordingly to user movements during gameplay. For example, when you are playing with the F305's Bowling game, you need to swing the phone as if you were playing bowling. Another example is, in Black Bass Fishing, you...

Review of Sony Ericsson F305

Sony Ericsson's Finest!

Advantages: Great looks, feels well made, great functions
Disadvantages: Could do with a better camera.

...doens't seem too different. However, it employs an 'Arc Slider' design, meaning the sliding process is somewhat 'curved'. It really does add a unique aspect to the design, and sets it apart from the other handsets that have the same sliding keyboard design. The opening and closing of the handset feels smooth, and it is also spring assisted. The handset comes in a choice of silver or black. However, both of these are metal, which really gives the handset a robust and well designed feel. The phone used a MiniUSB for charging and data connection, which is also a first in Sony Ericsson handsets. The screen on this handset is amazing. It has an 800x480 W(Wide)VGA screen. The handset only has 65k colours, as opposed to a lot of other handsets that have 256k. However, you wouldn't know to look at it. The resolution is amazing, and videos...

Review of Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

  Black Sleek & Stylish Sony Ericsson Get It Spot On

Advantages: Huge Memory, Stylish, Crystal Clear Speaker System, Great Accessories
Disadvantages: None!

...; 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 previous phones I've had. The phone itself comes in Black Satin with some very sleek orange bits here and there. The feel of the phone is quite amazing, it's really comfortable to use too. It will make no difference if you are right or left handed as there are buttons on both sides of the phone. You also have a little joy pad on the phone like the S700i with a larger pad around the side 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...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

Sony Ericsson Story...

Advantages: Good value for money, excellent sound, good quality camera
Disadvantages: Battery runs down quickly

...I have always had a Sony Ericsson phone eversince i brought my first phone when i was very young. I really like the make and have never had any problems with Sony Ericsson phones, however i brought the W580i sometime last year and have been a bit dissapointed with its performance. I brought the phone from the carphone warehouse as i could it on the network that i wanted and for the first 6 months everything was fine but all of a sudden i began to have problems with the screen. I took it back to the shop and was told that this was quite a common problem with this model of phone. It was sent off to be repaired twice and has been ok since *touch wood!* The walkman on the phone is brilliant, it holds lots of music and the sound is really clear, the camera quality is also very good. It is an ideal shape as it can fit in to your pocket easily...

Review of Sony Ericsson W580i

Sony Erricson W580i

Advantages: free 515mb memory card, extra options, "Shuffle" control and music & picture quality very good
Disadvantages: buttons crack and stop working for no reason at all!

...I owned this phone for just over a year I was on 02 network and I paid £139.99 for it. The mobile phone software is very good but the phone itself is very disappointing!!!!! First of all the Sony Ericsson W580i comes with a 512MB memory card and a 2.0 mega pixel camera. This obviously means that there is alot of space for pictures, music and video files. The picture quality is also brilliant too. The menu's are easily accessable and is practically the same as other Sony Ericsson mobile phones. On the Sony Ericsson W580i you can listen to the local radio station, Play the Games (My phone came with two games), TrackID (This you put your phone next to a speaker and the song is ID'd but comes with a price), Video Player. A "Video dj" Which allows you to add your videos together, PhotoDJ which allows you to edit...

Review of Sony Ericsson W580i

My Sony Ericsson W580i

Advantages: Thin, Good Memory, Aesthetically pleasing, good value for money.
Disadvantages: Cover is worn quite easily, buttons crack quickly.

...I have had my Sony Ericsson W580i for around 1 and a half years now, after receiving it as a gift from my parents two Christmases ago. The version of the W580i varied to the dark grey and blue one stated in the picture, and was instead a white and orange version, which was bought on a pay and go tariff on o2. I was in desperate need of a new mobile and picked the W580i from the Carphone Warehouse catalogue, as it was aesthetically pleasing and had many advantages over my current mobile; 2mp. Camera, a 512mb memory card, and the new format were also appealing to me. When i first got the phone, i noticed that many of my friends and others i knew had also received the W580i for Christmas - proving it was a popular choice! 17 months on and I?m still using the mobile... Although it is beginning to get a bit dilapidated - possibly due to...

Review of Sony Ericsson W580i

A brave move by Sony Ericsson!

Advantages: Unusual design, clear screen, good features
Disadvantages: Touch functions sometimes limiting

...I've always had Sony Ericsson handsets for as long as I can remember. My previous handset was the Sony Ericsson W995, which was part of their 'Walkman' phone series. When I saw the Aino had been released, I was very eager to give it a try. I have only had the handset for a few weeks, however I will try to provide as detailed information as possible. The handset is a slider, however it's a bit different from normal sliders. On the front, there are no keys, just a large slim screen. Underneath, you have the usual keys that you'd find on any modern mobile phone. On one side of the phone is the charging port, and on the other side you can find the volume/zoom keys, and the camera key. Moving back to the screen, and this is both a large selling point of the phone, and also viewed by some as the biggest downfall. It is a capacitive...

Review of Sony Ericsson Aino

W580i sony ericsson walkman phone

Advantages: good for music and entertainment in general. Pedometer feature and shake feature v good
Disadvantages: pricey and buttons can be annoying at first

...I had never had a sony ericsson before and some how i got the impression that they would have been complicated to use. How wrong I was!! Being strictly a nokia buyer in the past i had felt a little aprehensive about this purchase. I got the phone for around 150 pounds in Argos which was a special deal on pay as you talk vodafone. I was surprised at the slim body of the phone as sony ericssons in the past have been chunky. It fits very nice in the hand and looks very smart . The phone came in a really smart little red box like a cube with software for the computer,a cable,instructions, headphones and charger. I couldn't wait to use my new purchase so i plugged it in for charge and turnt it on and it already had half a battery which was a very nice thing if you want your new phone straight away. You have to get used to...
