The phone is interesting on paper, but, as well as any test it is of little avail in daily life. The bottom line: If you can get pass the large form factor and steep price, the Sony Ericsson W900i is a powerful handset that should be meet most mobile imaging and multimedia needs. As a 3G phone, the Sony Ericsson W900i falls short only in the areas of web browsing and battery life - the latter of which is due to its extensive feature set. Despite these shortcomings, however, the handset goes on to impress with snappy and comprehensive connectivity, hassle-free video calling and a glorious high-resolution screen. As for music, the W900i does an admirable job of replacing lower-end MP3 players with its high sound quality and intuitive user interface, but doesn?t offer the most extensive memory with only 512 MB out-of-box.

Music on the Move

Score: 80 Posted 01-Jan-1900 by Doyle, at pricerunner

Pros: Its like a portable boom box. It has a pretty good music playback. It has sufficient internal memory. It also has a FM tuner. It has a camera that takes pretty good pictures. Another great thing about this phone is that you can access all features without opening the phone to its full length.

Cons: Its a huge phone. Even when closed, it is quite bulky.

Conclusion: The phone's best feature is its music playback. It is absolutely great!! It has enough internal memory, but also allows for added external memory. It has all the regular features. It also includes a camera that takes great pictures. I really like this phone alot, because its like carrying around my own boom box. However, there is no denying that this phone is huge and bulky. It requires enough storage space, even when closed! Besides this, the phone functions well enough.

Walkman Phone

Score: 80 Posted 01-Jan-1900 by Lauren , at pricerunner

Pros: It has great music playback. It also has a FM tuner. It has a pretty good camera. It also allows video calling. It is compatable with your PC. Almost all features and functions are accessible without having to open the phone completely. It has more than enough internal memory.

Cons: It is huge when opened! The FM controller tends to trouble at times.

Conclusion: This is a really new exciting piece from Sony Ericsson. It combines the need and style of both a cell phone, and a walkman. Its main selling point is its walkman style! It has excellent music playback. And then it has pretty much all the features one expects from a cell phone. The camera is good. And the phone is PC compatable. Its biggest drawback is its size. It is nothing but huge, and most of it is a waste, when it is opened to its full length. It isnt easy carrying a phone/walkman of this s
