My Favourite Phone Ever (W900i)

Advantages: Huge List Of Features, Huge Memory, Music Orientated
Disadvantages: Short Battery Life, Quite Big, Loose Connection Port

...Sony Ericsson W900i Introduction The Sony Ericsson W900i is one of the top end phones in today's market. It was released the 12th of December 2005 on the Vodafone network, but has mostly been available as a contract phone since then. The average price for a W900i can range from about £300 to £500 brand new, although the price will start to decrease soon as many competitor companies are releasing phones that finally challenge it. I personally received this phone for my birthday with a 2gb memory card and earphones after requesting it months before. I am still satisfied with it. Looks The W900i is one of the few swivel action phones, which basically mean it is made of two halves, of which one which revolves 180 degrees to lock into place to reveal the full length phone. This phone is available in two colours; black & white...

Review of Sony Ericsson W900i

W900i

Advantages: looks
Disadvantages: size

...First thing I noticed was that there are no games included. You get 5 demos, that you can only play for 30 seconds. Pretty poor for an expensive phone. Played around with the interface and changed my theme. Moving between screens is very fast which impressed me. Looks very slick and simple too. Only thing I dislike is the placement of some settings in various menus. Camera next. Autofocus is brilliant and the flash is fairly decent. The overall quality of pics is excellent. Videos are also impressive, I was confused at first because I could only take short clips, but it was because it comes auto set to size for MMS. Undoing that makes the video infinate I think. The lack of lense cover on the front isn't that great, but the plastic seems very hard so hopefully it'll be alright. The phone itself feels very sturdy and has a feel...

My W900i nightmare

Advantages: Massive internal memory and handy features
Disadvantages: Everything else

...I got this phone on a contract, a year ago, which seemed like a good idea at the time, why not? It's nice to look at, easy to use, it has massive internal memory, 3G, it has a 2 mega pixel camera, it's a mp3 player, it's WAP enabled, it has bluetooth and many other features. The person that was selling me the phone pointed out all the good points. But over the last year I've found quite alot of flaws. I dont know where to start, ok first of all ITS HUGE, i never really noticed it when I was buying it, but it takes up loads of space in my pocket. My friends always make fun of it referring to it as "the brick" and I always get the line "are you happy to see me?" Its very unreliable, when you open the phone, it turns 180 degrees, making it even bigger, if it gets turned to quick it tends to switch its self off, which can be very...

Sony Ericson W900i

Advantages: Nice style, good battery, lots of functions
Disadvantages: Too big to put into pocket,

...I have been using this phone for 18 months, it works perfect. It is stylish and fashion, the digital camera is the best one I have ever use. Views. This phone looks really cool, especially the white edition. The only disadvantage is it is too big, it is hard to put it in your pocket with jeans. I think this phone is more suitable for men rather than women. MP3 Player The MP3 player system is cool. You really do not need to buy a seprate MP3 player if you use this phone. There is also a function that you could only use the MP3 player system without switch on the mobile. Digital Camera I have been using this as my digital camera as well, pictures are clear enough to enlarge them on computer. There are three different level of pictures quality. You could make the photo very clear, but the size of your photo will be very large...

Review of Sony Ericsson W900i

Portable porn in my pocket

Advantages: It does everything except wash-up!
Disadvantages: It does weigh a fair bit for a phone

...Every year I get to upgrade my mobile phone for free and every year I spend a long time deciding what kind of phone I want, what features I want it to have, what I will use the phone for and also I also look for the latest phone on the market. This year I have opted for the Sony Ericsson W900 (i) 3G-enabled mobile phone, which is one of the latest phones available. To look at the W900 (i) is stylish and fun but at the same time it is a mobile phone with many capabilities. For the time being this phone is only available in white in the UK whereas black is the dominant colour in other countries, but I have to say the white is a strikingly clean white colour with the name 'Sony Ericsson' written in grey on the back of the phone along with the company logo. This phone does boast a 180 degree swivel head which keeps the keypad nicely...

W990i surprisigly better than most newer models

Advantages: Excellent autofocus 2Mp camera, Good build Quality
Disadvantages: Lock button poorly located, Music player is ok,

...I received my w900i with a contract from Vodafone back in 2005 and it is still the primary phone i use today. As with all sony products i found the build quality to be excellent. I've lost count of the time this phone has hit the floor over the years and apart from a few surface scratches the phone is in perfect condition. This handset offers all the basic phone functions required of a modern day mobile, 2Mp Camera, video and picture messaging, tri band, walkman features and an Excellent display. Of special note is the camera I received a free upgrade to the w850i and i have to say the camera on the w900i is far superior firstly the autofocus on this phone is amazing I have a set of holiday photo's ruin because i took the w850 with me and they are all slightly out of focus. Secondly don't let the fact that it is only 2Mp fool you...

Sony Eric-ssound, walking away with a winner!

Advantages: Stylish and easy to navigate, swivel action!
Disadvantages: Deceptively large in length and some may find it bulky

...As far as the innovation and evolution in mobile phone technology, Sony seem to be racing ahead in terms of quality, durability and overall aesthetics of their range. The new W900i is no exception to the rule. Sony seem to have advanced very quickly since the introduction of their debut Walkman phone the W800i which was traditionally shaped, but with the integration of a high spec CMOS camera, and advanced mp3 quality download and playback capabilities. It seems that Sony are keen to maintain this area of the market by introducing new models to the range, perhaps to broaden their market target, or as a result of consumer feed-back following the W800i. As a result of this, we saw the 2nd walkman phone released by Sony which was the W550i, a mark-up of the W800i because it featured a higher internal memory, and a unique design...

Review of Sony Ericsson W900i

Swivel on it

Advantages: Big screen, big internal memory, menu system and 30 fps video cam
Disadvantages: Too big, too swivelly, too heavy, keypad lock mechanism very poor

...(ever see the W800i display models in the shops?), but then when did fashion ever get in the way of a cool cat and his flash accessory? Anyway, the one I have is black and black never goes out of fashion. Features - Usability The W900i is rather a large phone - as wide and tall as the W800i and as thick as the W550i - and as a result is slightly bulky in the pocket, although not any larger than many of the 3G phones around currently. The size is necessary for all the great features on it, however, and there are a number of buttons and controls around the periphery of the phone as well as the main keypads. The charger socket on the top is a bit fiddly for those with normal-sized fingers, although you will get used to it after a few goes. It's a swivel-phone, and has a fairly solid mechanism, which can be activated with a small push...

  The return of the Walkman

Advantages: Feature set is huuuge
Disadvantages: Its big, bad and heavy.

...a Louis Vitton one). FEATURES (it is a phone after all) Well first and foremost it's a phone, and a talented one at that. Basic calling is simple and easy, with the added benefit of voice dialling and excellent sound quality. The phone features a speakerphone for hands free operation, which is useful if your, say, on the loo! In terms on phone numbers it can store an awful lot, I'm not sure of the exact number since it depends on a few factors like how many MP3's you have, but what is astounding is the amount of information you can hold per number. Multiple numbers are par for the course these days but the W900i lets you store email address, web address, company/home address, birthday, a photo and "other" as well as a voice command. Text messaging is similarly easy to use, with the phone supporting the T9 dictionary as well as the new...

Review of Sony Ericsson W900i

Very versatile and stylish phone

Advantages: Does everything you want from a phone
Disadvantages: Slightly larger than average

...The W900i is impressive to look at, a well styled phone. The menu system is intuitive and it is very easy to use all features of the phone without needing to refer to the user manual. The screen is large, high resolution (for a mobile), bright and clear. Downloading and watching films is a pleasant experience. The Walkman player is simple to use and the supplied software makes it very easy to and your own music to the phone, converting CDs to MP3 if necessary. Games are well supported and fast as the phone has hardware accelerated 3d graphics. Connectivity is good with SyncML, Bluetooth and USB so you can synchronize the address book and calendar easily. Also is a 3G phone. The 2 megapixel camera takes excellent quality photos, has autofocus and a light when needed. Video quality is good and the phone can take 320x240...
