Andrea, Warrington

Score 9.0/10

+ The new Walkman software is really good along with the sound quality and 8gb storage. To be honest almost everything is good with this phone - the battery life, HSDPA access, the browser the list goes on... This is the best Sony Ericsson phone i've had in years.

- No flight mode which is pathetic considering it is a Walkman phone, flimsy battery cover, no WIFI or GPS features.

Expert reviews for Sony Ericsson W902

TechRadar expert review

Nudging the line between the Walkman music mobile range and the Cyber-shot cameraphone line-up, Sony Ericsson's 5-megapixel camera-packing W902 sports the best-specified shooter seen so far on a Walkman-branded handset.Previously, while the Walkman phone range has hit the right notes for music buyers, anyone after a top-of-the-line cameraphone performance would have to look to Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot line-up. Cyber-shots had all the best imaging gadgetry, Walkmans the best music. It may have worked a treat for marketing people keeping the ranges separate, but not for anyone who want…

Pocket Lint expert review

Another flagship contender to the Sony Ericsson Walkman helm, but can the latest high-end Walkman give you that Boogie Wonderland? We get listening to find out. The rather large W902 is encased in a plastic ribbed casing that gives you some notion of being tough but probably isn't going to last too many rounds in a bout down the pub...
