Written by Sony Ericsson W800i opened the Walkman brand series produced by the company, preparing the market for a different kind of product. The new modern design brought Bluetooth features, USB connectivity and Infrared, all incorporated in a very trendy look. After its release in 2005, Sony Ericsson W800i became a starting point or platform for further development in this field of electronics. The external memory capacity of the device is of only 2G, but in the context when it was produced, the outcome was a success. For the release moment, such memory size was enough.
There are video recording features incorporated in the Sony Ericsson W800i, the camera has an autofocus and a flash. Moreover, the playback time for the device when operated in the music mode is of thirty hours which definitely means a lot if we consider the life extent of modern batteries. In fact, if the phone is on standby for a longer period of time, then, recharging will only be necessary now and then. The producer indicates a 400-hour functional battery for standby and a 9-hour period for talk-time. Sony Ericsson W800i is still available with many retailers, and the prices have dropped significantly from the time of the release.
A minor disadvantage of this phone is the fact that it relies on a joystick for memory navigation. Lots of users claim that this is more susceptible to damage and in time functionality problems tend to appear. Sony Ericsson W800i is also very prone to wearing, scratching and minor breaks in time particularly if its treatment is not adequate. Complaints have been made about the fact that very often dust gets inside the display and blurs visibility. Yet, such inconveniences have not stopped Sony Erricsson W800i from becoming very popular and well sold.
The Chinese imitation known as Music Mobile W800c is the fake variant of Sony Ericsson W800i. There is a striking similarity between the two models, and it is doubtless that the Chinese design pays tribute to the W800i series. The quality of this fake model is doubtful and Sony Ericsson W800i in its original variant is definitely superior. Should you see this item while searching for a good mobile, don’t take the price tag as its only recommendation. Otherwise, you may waste your money on a poor mobile device that can fail you any moment!
