Cell Phones : Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

I've been a Nokia user for the past 5 years and I have grown tired of Nokia cell phones due to OS full of bugs, slow response time and mediocre audio quality. I've switched to Sony Ericsson W810i and immediately fell in love with it. The WALKMAN brand adds some quality to the phone. WALKMAN is synonymous to audio excellence. Nokia users should consider this unit if you plan on buying a new cell phone. Hide Full Review

Very good all in one device. I love the vast amount of features. Even when using the walkman feature, the other features still work smoothe and fast. Some minor glitches in the software though. When a call is recieved that is associated with a picture in your caller ID, the phone takes a while to display the picture so you end up having to guess who is really calling. The Photo caller ID needs some help. When you set a ring tone for a particular contact, the phone should be able to play that same ring tone if that contact sends you a text message. Unfortunately it doesn't. The flash on the camera should also have an auto feature. You can use the bluetooth and conect to a computer with bluetooth and use the phone as a remote control, moving the mouse, controlling media player and even sliding through power point presentations. This is a wonderful feature and works beautifully. Overall I am very pleased with this device. Anyone would be happy with it. Hide Full Review

This is a great phone and I've enjoyed using it. I've been a Nokia fan for years but their recent offerings seemed clunky and boring. The 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus was the unique feature that attracted me to this phone - and I have not been dissapointed with camera performance. I bought a 1 gig memory card with the phone and it gives lots of space for photos and other things.



The main negative that I have encountered is that the phone connections and memory card are very specific to Sony Ericsson. I would prefer the mini USB data connection as used by Motorola (and lots of MP3 players - for combined charging and data transfer. I would also like a standard headphone socket so that I can use my noise cancelling headphones on a plane.



The softeware bundled with the phone is a nightmare to load on a PC - I still do not have full functionality for file transfers with the supplied USB data and charging cable. On the positive side, the synchronize with Outlook functionality works well and may be as good as it gets. Hide Full Review
