There is a lot going on with Sony Ericsson's W760, but its average battery life and lack of Wi-Fi hold it back.

A great feature set and a simple user interface

It's an unremarkable-looking slider phone

Despite its ordinary appearance, we can't complain about the W760i's performance or usability.

The W760i makes use of a 930 mAh Li-Ion battery (BST-38). As the manufacturer claims, it can keep the handset up and running up to 400 hours in standby and provide up to 9 hours of talk time

Great Walkman music player ; HSDPA data ; Foxtel Mobile TV

Conventional-looking slider ; No significant internal memory

Maybe it's the iPhone. This is a difficult time to be choosing a new music-playing mobile phone, and with Apple pushing its 3G "Jesus" phone into the market, and with the sharply designed Motorola ROKR E8 hot on its heels, the W760i falls short of...
