Alistair, Glasgow , “Music and entertainment lover” More like this »
Score 9.0/10+ Particularly easy to use (with help form the Sony-Ericsson website); great sound to the walkman (in MP4 at 128, not too much compression), although the Media Manager software isn't really geared towards classical music, and can be a bit difficult to transfer music to the phone in exactly the folders, etc. set up in Media Manager. Am thoroughly enjoying discovering all of the different features - although some of them don't quite react in the expected way!
- Beware long nails - when typing you could end up with thirteen letters instead of one.

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.

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…
