Sony Ericsson W910i Review (Updated)
At work today, the dude from Sony Ericsson came by our store and showed us some new stuff.
He knows that Im a Nokiaman, and wanted me to try out Sony Ericsson.
He gave me one Sony Ericsson W910i Hearty Red, and told me that if I sold 10 of them in 5 weeks, this one was free for me;)
The first thing that got my attention was how light it is, its barely 86 grams (3.0 oz). It floats in my hand;)
Other than that the slidefunction is very low on noise, and it shuts soundless;)
I also noticed that the screen is much better and brighter than my Nokia E51
Whats in the pack?
- W910i (offcourse)
- Battery
- Headset (very nice one with good sound, much better than the one that was with my Nokia 6300, wich was hopeless)
- USB stick to read Micro M2 cards
- Different sized earplugs (the soft shit thats on them)
- An audio cabel to speakeres or something (one plug)
- And offcourse a house-charger
Back to the phone
It has GSM 850,900,1800,1900, UMTS and HSDPA (wich fits perfectly since my provider are building out HSDPA here as I write;) )
A very nice menu, wich is FAST compared to S60 phones (yeah, I know you cant compare S60 with the regular SE phones)
Favorite things about it: Track ID and that you can shake the phone while holding a button to change songs.
Track ID is a program that records some seconds of a song that you hear and tells you who sings it, the title of the song and wich album it is on. Very nice to have if you listen to radio and wants to know what song it is. Or if youre at a party and want to impress people with you music knowledge.
The phone comes with 3 games (I hate mobile games) and some “DJ” programs and a function that make your phone work as a remote to computers (music, presentations, etc.), just like SallingClicker.
What I dont like about the phone: The keys and the built in dictionary (T9-something)
Its hard to differ from the keys, wich can be bad when you want to write something or call someone and doesnt look at the keys.
The built in dictionary is not a good reason to hate the phone, as it is about what you are used too, and Im used to Nokia. Its something I have to learn to get used too.
And also, I hate that you cant use your own songs/sounds as SMS alert.
Some basic facts about the phone:
9 hours batterytime, and 350 hours standby-time, Bluetooth (And stereo bluetooth: A2DP), 2MP camera, RSS Reader, Radio
All in all, a good phone. 7 of 10 on my scale;)

Ok, I saw Akismet took it, but it was just text, so I thought it was ok. Will delete it, thanks for the info;)
Well, Actually, I think I can…
The thing is, its much easier to sell a phone when I use it myself. I never sold much Sony Ericsson before (because I only use Nokia), but HEY, Im impressed;)
Since this phone have no support for exchangemail I use the other phone as a “dataphone” where I get all my mail and use it as msn and stuff;)
Put up a blog about it on blogspot too, sew910.blogspot.com (Norwegian blog). I can blog from my mobile:D hehe
aah, found out yesterday that I CAN change SMS sounds to my own:D
The phone gets better and better for each day:D
Would be great to read the review
