Sony Ericsson W850i
By Ella Morton on 05 December 2006
The move to a slider form factor has not been without problems, but overall the W850i is another winning Walkman phone.

- Good: Walkman and Muisc DJ. Lots of storage.
- Bad: After almost two years, it keeps turning itself off when I shut the slider. Not happy.
I thought it was a really good deal at the time. Now just waiting till May so I can dump this thing and the contract, and get an iPhone. It 'pixelates' the sound a bit. The camera could be much better. Is hard to remove the sim card when I really need it. I am not happy with this thing. >:(

- Good: - Call quality is excellent (both video and voice)
- Speakerphone is excellent (loud and clear)
- The display is beautiful (crystal clear, but can smudge)
- Keypad navigation is fine after getting use to the layout.
- Never run out of memory with 1GB
- Battery life is good (3 days with heavy use).
- Bluetooth is fantastic (allows me to use phone as remote to control powerpoint slides during presentations)
- Looks great, sturdy construction, - Bad: - battery life dies when a large amount of data is transferred via bluetooth.
This is the best phone I have ever owned! There really isn't anything that I can complain about. The camera isn't the best, but this isn't a camera phone, it's a walkman phone. If you want a better than good camera get a different phone.
IMHO there aren't any drawbacks to this phone. I can understand that some people might have received phones that are dodgy, but that will always happen. I have not had any problems and don't think there is anything wrong with this phone. - Good: - Call quality is excellent (both video and voice)
