Sony Ericsson W850i

 

The W850i wraps Walkman functions and 3G inside a compact slider phone. Will you be walking to its beat?

Four more physical and quite small buttons sit on the outer edge of the front panel and these are Back, Internet, Cancel and Activity menu keys.

Sony Ericsson W850i Walkman mobile phone

 

Talking to users of the Walkman range of phones they are hard to beat. The W810i is especially liked by the many rather than the few with our review questioning "we can't think of a real reason why not to let it play the soundtrack to your life"....

3G, 1G Memory Stick Pro Duo in the box

Clunky large design, keypad confusing to use

Having loved the W810i here at Pocket-lint we wanted the W850i to build on that love and give us a product that we would be reluctant to send back.

Sony Ericsson W850i (Unlocked) review

 

Like Nokia, Sony Ericsson isn't quick to jump on the latest design trend, so the company did catch us somewhat off guard when it chose a slider design phone for the W850i. Overall, the sliding mechanism is solidly constructed, and we had no trouble...

The Sony Ericsson W850i has great performance and a wealth of features, including a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a digital music player.

The Sony Ericsson W850i has poorly designed navigation controls and limited integrated memory.

The Sony Ericsson W850i offers the great performance and high-end features we've come to expect from the company's Walkman phones, but its usability is hampered by unintuitive controls.

A Slider Walkman Phone : Sony Ericsson W850i Slider mobile phone

 

With music where ever you go, Sony Ericsson's slider model offers plenty of functionality.

Sony Ericsson W850i review

 

It's a Walkman, a camera and a slider phone. Jack of all trades or master of one? Read our review of the Sony Ericsson W850i Walkman phone

Solidly built with rugged design ; Walkman with track recognition ; 2-megapixel camera ; 1GB memory stick

Tinny speaker ; Heavy duty nav keys

A classic music orientated slider phone that packs a punch in the memory stakes

Sony Ericsson W850i

 

It was only a matter of time. Everyone else has been getting on the slider bandwagon, so now Sony Ericsson has done it too - the only mystery is why it's taken them so long.

3G capability, 2-megapixel camera, Walkman MP3 player and 1GB memory card

Quite chunky design, Volume limited, Small internal memory

If you like your Walkman with a slide, rush to buy now
