Erika, Leeds , “I normally like Sony”
Score 6.0/10+ The speaker is very loud and clear when listening to music. It has a good memory. The way you view pictures is unusual and stylish.
- When trying to use any of the features, the phone is very slow to respond. I would say there is a second or 2 delay between pressing a button and the phone responding. The battery life is poor and it needs charging every 36 hours or so. I would not recommend this phone as the cons far out way the pro's.

It is a good phone for music not so much for camra. Also when listenin to music, if the phone recieves a 3G signal the music will skip also wen sending messages the music skips.

Ellie, Surrey , “Not much”
Score 7.0/10+ It deff looks a bit snazzy and for those who use it as an mp3, it is pretty decent, but unfortunately I have no use for this! The size being so small is v.helpful and as usual, Sony Erickson phones are generally easy to use.
- The battery life will only last you 2 days, possibly one if you have used the phone to send a lot of texts on that specific day. Also, the phone doesn't end a call/activity when you slide the screen down, I know this is a minor fault but I kept forgetting to hang up as I thought sliding down would end the call! Apart from these things which can easily be gotten over, groovy phone. Oh and no flash on the camera.

Expert reviews for Sony Ericsson W910i
PC Advisor expert review
The latest in Sony Ericsson's ever expanding range of Walkman phones, the Sony Ericsson W910i introduces a couple of nifty music features.
This Sony Ericsson W910i review continued on PC Advisor
reviewed 28 Jan 2008
TechRadar expert review
Nokia may be pushing its new music service, and Apple's iPhone has at last arrived in the UK, so Sony Ericsson definitely has a fight on its hands as its iconic Walkman range battles for the mobile music high ground. But if it's true that the latest Walkman incarnation doesn't do anything wrong, it's no lie to say that it doesn't really do enough to push the series to the front either. Which isn't to say the W910i isn't a great phone, it's just that in the evolve-or-die world of music phones, the old orange and black styling and impressively efficient if no longer so sexy Walkman…
