Sony Walkman 16 GB: Great media player, but not without faults...

Advantages: Large 16GB capacity, easy to use interface, easy to transfer music/pictures, superb sound quality.
Disadvantages: Incompatibility with many video formats and competitor mains/USB recharger adaptors

..."Getting Started" On the whole, I found this easy. The player comes preloaded with four music tracks and you can even set music to be automatically transferred from your computer to the Walkman. It comes with software - but to be honest I haven't felt the need to install it as I found transferring media to the player can be done quite easily without it. However, one very important fact I feel you must know is that the Walkman is "not" compatible with many formats of video files. It simply will not play most formats such as .wmv. The use of video format converting software is a must. The format I have found that it generally has no problem with is MP4, Mpeg4, AAC LC, 320:240 resolution and frame rate 30/second. I have [fortunately] had no problems regarding compatibility with either audio or picture files. "Everyday Use...

Sony Walkman Walk's Along With You

Advantages: Great sound quality, compact, neat design
Disadvantages: Not many features, quite pricey, may not be very comfortable

...I love the technology we have available nowadays there is so much on the market, but sometimes it is difficult to know what to choose. If you are looking for a new Walk-man then you cannot go far wrong with The Sony W-Series Walk-man. It has an innovative, slimline design that takes the Walk-man to a new level. You get a pair of ear buds, but incorporated into them is an MP3 player. The result is a lightweight Walk man that is easy to carry around anywhere you go. When you purchase the Walk-man you may have trouble believing that such a good sound system can come from something so small. Well... they say that the best things come in small packages and it is certainly true in this case. It is such a simple Walk-man to use and Sony provides an original feature for browsing songs which is an added bonus. Although there are plenty...

Review of Sony Walkman NWZ-W202 2 GB

sony ericsson W995 Walkman top of the pops

Advantages: WiFi, navigation device, massive storage, top of the range camera at 8.1mp.
Disadvantages: small buttons, drifts in and out of internet and wap, slide up front so gets scratched easy

...I have had this Sony for about 4 weeks and I must say its an improvement on my last model (w850i) the WiFi option allow me to connect at home and watch BBC iplayer which is located as a fuction on the menu. You download from iplayer and store on the phons 8GB memeroy card which is very handy as it will save you money on any internet charges by your network provider. One slight downside is I find the buttons a bit small and do have trouble sending text messages, that aside the fictional side of the phone is good and an improvement on my previous model (w850i). The big features on this phone are the walkman and the 8.1 mega pixel camera. The camera wow!! Has great focus and superb quality but has not change any real features since my w850I. The walkman become a real replacement for any ipod as the 8GB card gives a huge amount of storage...

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...

Review of Sony Ericsson W580i

Sony Walkman w810i

Advantages: Camera/MP3 Player/Phone/Organiser - All in one!
Disadvantages: A few minors in software but nothing major

...The new Sony Walkman w810i is a new model in the w800 range, and has numerous changes from its previous model - the w800i. The changes are clear in the design of the new phone, as well as functionality and the software driving the machine. To start with, the aesthetics have been greatly improved - in my opinion - as the black is sleek with the cool orange and silver buttons on either side makes it really eye-catching. A major change is the loss of the joy-stick feel with the navigation system, and instead created a D-pad which is pressable. Personally this is a great improvement, as they previous joy-stick nav was far too flimsy when trying to flip through photos/songs quickly. The phone, although has many improvements, has one down fall, which is that it does not have a camera-cover. This may seem like an improvement...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

Sony Ericsson W350i Walkman

Advantages: Stylish, great sound, cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: no video, flash and only 1 . 3 mp camera

...I think this is 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. Overview: *Great speakerphone, very, very loud * Sound 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...

Excellent Sony NWZ-A829 (16gb) MP4 Player

Advantages: sound quality, video quality, appearance, value for money, ease of use.
Disadvantages: Doesn't support a great amount of formats for playback.

...Great little player, excellent sound quality (due to a combination of great supplied earphones and the output of the player), crisp, clear video viewing and a very nice layout of buttons. I own the black version of the player, which looks great. The player has a metal casing, making it strong and durable (I have dropped it several times, and it shows no marks or chips). The screen is is said to be scratch resistant, and that holds true up until now. A slight negative is that the screen is also slightly reflective, making viewing it a tad difficult in very bright conditions. The highlight of this product is the sound quality, crisp, clean and with good levels of bass. The player also has a great equaliser so you can choose sound to suit you, and many other settings such as "clear bass" and "dynamic normalizer" to further enhance sound...

Sony Ericsson W910i Walkman Mobile Phone

Advantages: Looks great, sounds great, nice features!
Disadvantages: Average camera, reported technical issues!

...the picture for printing purposes etc. It also has a very average video recording capability. The phone incorporates 3G and also HSDPA, which basically allows for faster internet access and makes the phone capable of high-speed downloading, ideal for music downloads. The 3G and HSDPA also allows the phone to have a video calling feature, not that this is something that I regularly use. The W910i's strongest attribute lies with it's walkman, since the phone is designed as a walkman phone. And it doesn't disappoint. The audio quality of the Walkman 3.0 music player is nothing short of superb, with a fantastic bass frequency enhancement feature thanks to Sony Ericssons Megabass feature, the phone comes alive to the beat of music. The Walkman 3.0 music player is fully-featured, meaning you can create and manage playlists, shuffle, and has music...

Review of Sony Ericsson W910i Walkman

WALKMAN - OUTSTANDING!

Advantages: FANTASTIC MP3 PLAYER
Disadvantages: Some may have difficulties!

...The Sony Erricson Walkman W810i phone is amazing. Before owning this I had the rubbish Motorola L6, and upgrading so much was amazing. I had so much more to do on my phone now. You may see alot of people with it, that might show that it is so good. I bought my W810i from Carphone Warehouse back in January 2007, at £140, and it is still working perfectly with no faults. This phone has some great features, which most phones fail to achieve. The high quality screen shows excellent photographs and videos, and puts other phones to shame. Even the stop watch and countdown timer which are normally useless features on other phones. On this phone, they are good fun to use. Clear picture and great quality sound, unlike my previous phone. The camera is 2.0 Megapixels, which is very good for a mobile phone. I think 2.0 Megapixels is great for me...

Sony Walkman NW-E005

Advantages: Easy use - Simple, and USB attatchment
Disadvantages: Sonic Stage (program supplied)

...The Sony Walkman NW-E005 Available in a wide variety of colours- violet, black, silver and pink as far as i am aware of! It has a choice of 512MB (which approximately stores 250 songs), 1GB (500 songs), 2GB (1,000 songs). It is a compact small and convienient shape, and can easily be carried around in a handbag or whilst participating in sport activities (expect for swimming i should add!). Features of the Product On top of the standard basics of an mp3 player, i have also found other useful funtions - Sound The control is simple and increadibly easy, with a simple location on the back of the player, in options there is an extensive range of adjustments that can be made to the sound emitted - . One handy function i find handy is the avls, which prevents the increase of the volume up to a certain point where it may no...
