Sony Ericsson W800i Mobile Phone
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Having had a Sony Ericsson mobile previously (the K700i) I was slightly apprehensive about purchasing another because of all the 'glitches' I had with the previous phone. On paper they are great phones but I had quite a few problems with the phone 'freezing' and swapping numbers etc that I had almost decided not to buy another Sony.
Well I have to say I do like the W800i. Having a phone and walkman combined is great and I like all the features of the phone - the only thing I'm not particularly keen on is the camera - it can be tricky to take photos and it is quite noisy about it, which is something that put me off the K700i - it is nice to be able to be discrete sometimes!
The phone has the usual organiser with calendar, reminders, notes, tasks etc which are very useful for day to day life. There are games, which I haven't played but I think are the usual, nothing too exciting there. The biggest improvement is the charger - it is not the tacky, easy-to-break and difficult to charge contraption that previous models had but it is a simple device which clicks straight in.
Good keypad with a square, no nonsense layout, nice-size buttons and it is very easy to navigate round menus. The shortcut facility on the phone is extremely useful - there is the notorious joystick but believe me it is much improved from previous models and I have not really had any problems with it.
A bonus with this phone is you can play the walkman and still use the other programs in the phone as the walkman can be minimised. When you start the phone up you also have the option of starting up the walkman only - handy if you want to listen to music and not be disturbed by callers!
A useful feature of the phone is the light - my previous phone had a light but this model has several options - SOS, on permanently or on for one minute.
I really like the fact the phone has a memory stick which you can use to store pictures or to put music on the phone.
Overall, I love the phone and Sony have done a pretty good job of persuading a sceptic to remain a loyal customer! :)
