White Sony Ericsson W810i

Advantages: build quality, walkman feature, most buttons good for big fingers
Disadvantages: walkman activation button easy to press when you dont want it

...I have had the W810i for a fair while now and so I think I am in a position now to review the phone. Changing phone from a Nokia is always a nightmare for me, you get used to the menu system and so we become lazy and stick with what we know. When I got this phone I felt that all the Nokia phones at the time were boring and I wanted something a little funky. The phone itself looks the part. I have the white version of the W810i and it looks quite smart and sophisticated. The screen displays all the menu items with colourful icons that are easy to navigate too using the 4 directional navigation ring and small button which sits in the centre just under the screen. The direction ring has arrows pointing up, down, left and right which obviously move the cursor in that direction when pressed, and the button in the middle initiates...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

The W810i Walkman Phone

Advantages: Great phone, looks good, great features.
Disadvantages: n/a

...*** 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. My initial reasons being that it was Sony Ericsson and it was a walkman phone so I would be able to store more songs on and use the walkman at work instead of taking my mp3 player in. 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 battery I turned the phone on and it started up. The start up was and still is reasonably quick. Upon switching the phone on you are given the choice of Start Phone or Walkman Mode. Start phone mode enables you to use the phone normally as...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

W810i - Just keeps going...

Advantages: Durable, sleek, easy
Disadvantages: slightly out dated and scratched

...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 great at the beginning but mine got marked by just loose change which now slightly obscures the view. At first, I found the buttons slightly annoying because they're opposite to Nokia - which I was used to, consequently at the beginning...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

The Great W810i

Advantages: Great storaage, a plethora of features
Disadvantages: It's qiuite popular so you won't be unique by having it

...This is the first phone that I ever purchased my self and must say that it was worth the 50 pounds that I purchased it for. The W810i is most certainly a phone worth having. The first thing that you notice about this particular phone is the appearance. Whether of not you like the appearance is completely subjective. I personally think that the design was a step from the predecessor (mainly orange; a bit much). I like the fact that the design is a bit daring but it works, it?s completely black except for the buttons that make some of the phones main features stand out. By main features I mean the walkman and shortcuts. The main feature depicted in most advertising was the Walkman feature. The phone, can indeed be used as an MP3 player. Upon using the installation software that comes free with the phone (Sony Ericsson PC Suite...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

W810i

Advantages: Design
Disadvantages: Stupid permeanantly locked sony ericcson tune in walkman

...Personally, i think this phone is good. It has a well finished, strreamlined cover and is just the right size for your pocket; its not too chunky. The white case can look a bit tacky but the plastic used on the cover is easy to wipe down, and if you take care of it the screen doesnt scatch easy. It is very durable; very suitable for a clumsy person who is liable to drop it!The camera is not the best and the video is a bit dodgy in bright light and when cleaning the case you will have to use something like a cottonbud to clean the lens as it is quite tricky. Great as a walkman - it has a good storage capacity, however it is quite hard to organize your music library and although most of the tunes that came with the phone can be deleted, there is one that is permeanantly locked to the phone and is (so far) impossible to delete. The buttons...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

w810i

Advantages: easy to use, great walkman feature, good memory
Disadvantages: none

...the w810 basically is just an advancement on the w800i which it replaces...except the new w810 is so much better. it feels alot more solid and the buttons are alot easier to use. Gone is the awkward joystick for navigation, in its place is a D-Pad which feels so much better and a whole lot nicer to use. The w800 had issues with certain functions, especially with the camera button on the side of the phone which sometimes felt as though you had to belt it with a hammer for it to actually do anything, happily this has been fixed in the w810i. The screen also seems to be a bit clearer, and due to it being a tft screen means its still fairly easy to see whats happening even in bright light such as direct sunlight. call quality is clear with no distortions that can be blamed on anything other than your network provider. i bought my w...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

Sony w810i

Advantages: Compact, easy to use and easy to download music to if you have a PC.
Disadvantages: Screen is exposed and looks as if it could scratch or worse!

..., organiser and fun settings just a few things this phone does. The battery lasts forever!(as long as its charged every couple of night for you who uses it lots) And the price compared the Nokias is outstanding! The W810i from Sony Ericsson really is a great phone and a must buy for me. Although you can get it free on a 12/18 month contract from the big suppliers!...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

My W810i Experience

Advantages: Easy to use, robust, stylish, high quality finish and feel
Disadvantages: Can only use up to a 4GB Memory Card, Internal memory not the highest

...I have owned the Sony Ericsson W810i since December 2006 and since my first use of this phone to now, I love it! I have always been a great lover for music and texting, so for me, what could be better than a MP3 Player combined with a Mobile Phone? The interface of the W810i is stylish and easy to use, even better is you can have your own personalised 'theme' as your interface, now that is cool! The sound quality from the main phone speaker is pretty good however when you insert the earphones which are included the quality is outstanding! You can even hear the bass at low level! The keypad is evenly spaced meaning that it is very easy to get used to and text quickly, even without looking which is better still for amazing your friends with! The games that come pre-loaded on the phone are also pretty addictive, Quadrapop...

Review of Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

w810i - Great phone.

Advantages: Excellent for music, good sound & camera quality.
Disadvantages: Short battery life,keypad can be quite confusing.

...My sister has this phone, but i've used it quite a few times and i must say, it has to be one of the best phones out there. So much so, that this is the next phone that i will be buying. this phone, in my opinion, is the one to have. CAMERA The Sony Ericsson w810i's 2 mega pixel camera captures excellent pictures and videos at brilliant quality. The camera also has x 4 zoom which can be very helpful if your quite a distance from what you want to take a photo/video of. MUSIC PLAYER The mp3 player on the phone is easy to use, has excellent sound quality and is, overall great for listenin to music. The phone can hold a good amount of music/pictures/videos because of the 512 mb memory stick that comes with it. RADIO Fm radio is also one of the features of the w810i aswell as the polyphonic melody composer (MusicDJ). GAMES...
