Written by 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 many knowledgeable buyers often consider both features and designs, less informed users are most often influenced 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 merit here comes from the 24 carat gold Walkman logo that catches the eye and makes an impression.
We could say that the beauty of Sony Ericsson W850i is not superficial, as it is an overall well built phone. The modern touch comes from the light effect that pulses on the keypad following the music beat. On the inside, the music player is high class, rendering very quality music and an impeccable stereo sound in the FM radio too. If you buy the promotional phone package, you’ll get an incorporated Mega Bass feature and a stereo headset to match. The 1GB memory stick Pro Duo and the possibility to store 250 tracks justifies many buyers’ preference for Sony Ericsson W850i.
The software incorporated in Sony Ericsson W850i makes the management of the device more than user friendly. The drag and drop operation allows an easy and quick file transfer through an USB cable. The Walkman software also enables the music download directly to the phone at a very high speed. A very smart feature has been introduced in the design: the so-called TrackID. If you don’t know who plays a certain song on the radio, this piece of software helps you track the album and the artist. What an incredible feature!
Sony Ericsson W850i has a built in camera allowing you to take very good quality pictures, using both the zoom and the digital flash. The video camera allows one to make 3G video calls or to record. There is no autofocus included in the design, which makes the model slightly inferior to Sony Ericsson K800i for instance. Other than 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!
