Sony Ericsson W595 Slide Phone 3G mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ A great little phone with all the functions a normal phone should have. I wasn't really sure about the curved design at first, but it has grown on me. The design is smart and functional. The keys are responsive and the interface spretty smooth and quick. Feature wise it has pretty much everything you would want or need. Remember this is meant to be a phone - it is not a replacement for a camera or mp3 player - if you want great pictures buy a camera; if you want the best sounding portable music system get a dedicated mp3 player. This is a hybrid system designed to give you a great phone with the benefits of things we seem to think are essentials. Having said all of this, the camera is sharp giving crisp images and the walkman function great with impressive quality. Overall, it is eveything most people will need.

- Firstly, back panel is flimsy and irritating to remove and clip back in- half the time I think I am going to break it, the sides creak a bit if squeezed, suggesting that SE cut costs a bit in order to cram functionality in and keep the overall cost down. Secondly,, the battery life isn't spectacular. You'll get plenty of days on standby, but it is fairly thirsty once you start working it! Thirdly the SIM card slot is irratating and it is difficut to remove the card without the aid of tweezers - that said, some cards are easier to remove than others - Orange cards were the most bother! sadly this pretty great phone is let down by poor undercover ergonomics and poor build - sad really as otherwise this is great phone and, if you can be careful, worth the money.

+ Great radio functionality and memorary card give great storage for music

- Not foud any yet!

+ very good walkman feature with good sound playback,video playback is excelent,the screen automaticly changes from vertical to horizontal when you turn phone on its side. easy to use menu,slider is smooth and the chrome detail on edge of phone is a nice feature. all in all would say good value for money

- have to charge battery every couple of days, hopefuly this will get better through time as the battery gets conditioned

+ music player is great, camera good.

- Keypad is quite annoying an I find it hard writing texts.

+ Good, easy to use phone if you want a phone to be a phone and not a device to organise every part of your life. Nice walkman, easy to use.

- Software is basic.

+ excellent music quality

- camera quality not so good

+ It has a good camera and video. It has good memory for your music, photos and videos.
It is loud so you can actually hear it when its ringing and when you get a message.

- It sometimes crashes whilst in the middle of doing something.

+ Looks and sounds great, easy on the eye and easy to use
Downloading pix and music straightforward

- Vodafone Live key too easy to access unintentionally

+ like the design/layout for media

- media won't re-load after memory card is re-inserted

+ everything good would recommend

- no bad points

+ The camera is reasonable even though there is no flash and zoom is only available on lowest resolution. Internet browsing is clear and so are the menu settings. You can use a USB cable to connect to your computer and transfer media to and from.

- Battery can be used up quickly if you surf the internet constantly or leave it on for long periods. Constant charging is needed. Keypad is not suitable for big fingers but as I have small hands it's not a big problem.

+ It's a brill phone with lots of good stuff.

- I struggled to say something bad. Only said battery cos maybe if they last a bit longer for long journeys etc.

+ I like the whole look of the phone aswell as the camera. My favourite thing is the abundance of applications and the excellent music playing capabilities.

- My only grievences with the phone is the battery life, however it seems to be improving. Also the I keep accidentally connecting to live (costing me money) because of the layour of the face buttons.

+ The Sound and walkman i think it was the best one out of all the other Sony Ericsson.

- The Battery life is very poor i have to charge it up every 12 hours.

+ VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY AND A GREAT PHONE

- NONE I CAN THINK OF!
