Sony Ericsson W850i
Sony Ericsson W850i is a slider; a cell phone with an innovative design that replaces the older joystick with the five-way scroll key. A built-in Walkman and a big display, with these two features, Sony Ericsson W850i made good sales. While buyers who have an idea of what a phone should be from the technical point of view, make a more serious selection, less informed users are won over by the look of the phone. Available either white or black, this phone seems to give a touch of elegance to the user; the main impression comes from the Walkman logo written in gold-plated letters.
We could say that the beauty of Sony Ericsson W850i is not superficial, as it is an overall well built phone. The keypad is modern, featuring a light effect in the form of pulses that follow the music beat. On the inside, the music player is high class, you’ll enjoy a crystal clear sound both for the Walkman and the radio. The promotional package includes a stereo headset that amplifies the bass frequencies thanks to the incorporated Mega Bass feature. The 1GB memory stick Pro Duo and the possibility to store 250 tracks justifies many buyers’ preference for Sony Ericsson W850i.
The designers have also brought improvements in what the management option is concerned. The drag and drop operation allows quick and easy file transfer through an USB cable. You can also download music directly into the phone thanks to the Walkman software that operates very rapidly. One further noteworthy feature is the TrackID. If you listen to a song on the radio but do not know who plays it, you can use this piece of software to track the album and the artist. A really incredible feature!
Sony Ericsson W850i comes with a built in camera that renders very good quality pictures, with the possibility to use the digital flash and zoom. The video camera allows one to make 3G video calls or to record. There is no autofocus included in the design, which makes the K800i model superior to Sony Ericsson W850i. Despite this minor flaw, reviews claim that Sony Ericsson W850i makes one of the best Walkman phones ever released. A less expensive non-3G version of Sony Ericsson W850i can also be bought in case you are after a bargain. Have a look at both models and see which works best for you!
