By Jeremy Roche on 28/05/2007

More Sony Ericsson reviews , RRP: AU$899.00

The good:

  • Ultra-thin design
  • 1GB memory card included
  • Excellent music phone
  • RSS reader and picture blogging

The bad:

  • Itty-bitty keys
  • Camera lacks a flash
  • No radio or support for HSDPA

The bottomline:

The Sony Ericsson W880i's appeal lies in its skinny profile and music features, although it will be too small for some.

      While the 6210 is solidly built and features fast performance, the lack of a lifetime subscription to turn-by-turn navigation robs the Navigator of what should make it unique in the market.

      There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.

      Nokia N85

      It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.

      Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.

    • Nokia E66

      Nokia E66

      While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.
