Sony Ericsson W910i Slide Phone 3G mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ Small ,organise almost everything

- Navigation not very easy for non experts

+ nice and light

- had 2 of these and both randomly switched off. even after a firmware update. poor phone. switched to a N81 8GB now :-)

+ Brilliant mp3 player, Simple to use

- Predictive text isn't that brilliant.

+ Ease of use, excellent clear screen, good camera, brilliant media player with good all round functionality. Everything you'd expect from Sony Ericsson.

- Just the headphones, handsfree, not attractive or user friendly - clumpy connectivity at base nof phone.

+ everything is great apart from the battery

- battery life when listen 2 music goes pretty quick

+ Best looking phone u will get without getting one of those silly iPhones and their touchscreens

- Nothing will ever be ergonomically as good as the w550i so every new phone leaves me with a slightly empty feeling ha ha.

+ I have always been a Nokia fan but not any more. I'm now a true convert to Sony. This phone has such a lovely and very instinctive feel to it. I would recommend it to any one. I bought this phone for the walkman features and although the sound quality isn't the best when played through the speakers, the quality through my blue tooth headphones is amazing.

- The connect to internet key is too easy to hit by mistake. It would be better if the software asked you 'are you sure you want to connect.

+ Music is easy to find and the applications are good (like music mate). 1GB Memory card allows to get started straight away

- Low Battery Life lets it down especially when listening music

+ music player is great, great design, nice sliding mechanism

- had 2 of these in first month, eventually settled for a nokia n81 8gb as build quality was so much better, i kept getting emergency calls only and the volume buttons stopped working, camera could be better ie flash

+ Its a very nice looking phone,sleek and compact in designe. Its user friendly as its easy to navigate you can very easily find your files and music ect.

- battery only lasts two days and thats without listening to music or playing games. Does not show any missed calls you may have had. have to go in menu to check.

+ the w910i is a smashin phone its so easy 2 use

- some times the phone will crash but you just turn it off an on an it works as normal

- Purchased this contract for my daughter and we have had nothing but problems going wrong with the handset. The worse problem is turning itself off and the screen going blank.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- sometimes the phone freezes,and will turn itself off and then back on.

+ 1. Looks good
2. Great for music
3. Easy to use

- I have had two of these phones within 2 weeks and that is because it kept switching itself off for no reason

+ This phone looks good and is easy to use.

- The phone turns itself ff 3 - 4 times a day! Which is a nuisance.

+ It is easy to use this phone, looks good and has good memory storage. Music playback is also good

- the camera is not great , anbd also battery life could be better,

+ looks good
great walkman
small and easy to fit in your pocket

- pairing with other devices
keeps feezing ang jamming
slow at turning on and searching the network

+ Its overall OK, works well large memory.

- Its nothing special, it's just the same as the older versions with a new design. It is ok, but just hasnt got any wow factor. Also it switches to stand by sometimes for no reason. The keys are hard to use and I often hit the wrong one when texting. the speaker is poor quality too,

+ It is extremely well designed, the software is intuitive and slick.

- Battery life is a bit short, and the keypad is a bit fiddly for my fat thumbs

+ EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND USE

- CONNECTION WITH OTHER DEVICES THROUGH BLUETOOTH TAKES A FEW ATTEMPTS TO WORK. CONNECTION TO WEB DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK.

+ Listening to music.

- Poor battery life - has to be charged once a day
Has to be repaired alot - 4 times in 3 months
Too many features - causes it easiness to break
Turns off alot - slightest tap on back and it switches off

+ Reviewer left no comment

- the original phone failed after one day the second phone failed after about 5 or 6 weeks which meant sending it back for one week for repair

+ The phone is stylish, easy-to-use, is lightweight and compact, has good music facilities and comes with good attachments.

- Battery life isn't great, camera could be better and the buttons dont suit quick texts

+ Very easy to use and doesn't differ greatly from previous (3) Sony Ericsson phones I've had in terms of features and functionality. Looks smart and very easy to customise themes and ring tones.

- With Sony Ericson W (Walkman) or K (Camera) phones you have to opt for one or the other as being a 'key' feature. I've previously had two K series phones and this is my first Walkman phone. The 2 mega pixel camera is ok, but i do notice the drop in picture quality from my previous 3.2MP camera phone. A model that sits in the middle of the two core technologies would be a bonus, but as I have a a dedicated digital camera, this requirement is negligible.

+ kept the music clear and sound i perfect

- battery ran out too quick
this is now my second phone

+ its has got a good look

- i didnt catch any bad points so far.

+ Looks nice

- Stopped working after three months

+ Sound quality good.

- Kept turning itself off frequently when first had it. Continues to do so despite software upgrade though not as often.

+ Looks Great

- Camera is a bit naff

+ THE SCREEN

- IT KEEPS JAMMING UP AND FREEZING, SWITCHING ITSELF OFF AND CUTTING OFF THROUGH CONVERSATIONS AND TOTALLY WOULDNT' WORK ABROAD.

+ listening to music
battery life
size
design

- easily scratched

+ Its a great phone

- Nothing bad

+ Everything on this phone should be good.
Camera's ok, but its a walkman phone so focused on the mp3 rather than the camera. All ok.
Keypads easy to use once youve got the hang of it (as with most phones, takes a couple of days to get used to it).
when working, works quickly and good quality.

- It freezes and crashes constantly.
If it wasnt for this it would be a great phone. But it restarts and freezes frequently, thus causing more problems than any of the positive points can cancel out.

+ It looks good and is very easy to use.

- The phone keeps freezing and shutting down. The speaker quality is very poor when using speaker phone and the camera is really bad and is not helped by the lack of a light.

+ Good looking phone, small and compact and nice sized screen. Good for mp3's.

- Key pad buttons not great, a bit slippy and fiddly. Battery life should be better. On/off button not recessed so you can turn the phone off in your pocket by accident...basics this one, an idiot could have spotted this one before bringing it to market!

+ Nice music player on it and the memory capacity is good.

- Text messaging can be a little awkward with the keypad, the buttons are not raised enough so hard to feel where you are pressing without looking. The battery life is a little too short, my friends who have the phone have also commented on this.

+ brilliant for music

- the battery life is terrible i have to charge it every day and im not on it all the time

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Terrible battery life, also no flash on the camera so cant take any photos indoor although pretty good quality for just 2megapixels

+ compact and easy to use.

- reliability. have been repaired 3 times already

+ holds lots of music, easy to use, looks good

- it switches off randomly, looses data, has to master reset, sometimes cant get in to in box or send messages out

+ I am welll impressed with the phone as a total package. As the phone is still relatively new I am still finding new features. But up to now I am very happy with this little gadget

- Now and again the video recorder comes on by it's own accord and won't switch off. The only way that I have been able to deactivate the video is to remove the battery and the replace it.

+ Really easy to use, does evrything I need it to. Works well with my computer to.

- Freezes alot!

+ the battery life is immense - 5-6 days

- top line of key pad very fiddly
navigation of menus akqward and not clear

+ THE PHONE IS FANTASTIC

- COULD DO WITH COMING WITH BIGGER MEMORY CARD FOR MORE MUSIC

+ Lovely phone, good to handle and a good size to keep in your pocket

- Loose screws not that durable

+ It's easy to use and in sync with all other Sony Ericsson phones.
The music features are great, especially the SenseMe, which is a nice added bonus.
The slimline design is fab and convinient, and the battery life is more than adequate, even when using the MP3 player.

- The top line of the keypad (1, 2 and 3) are quite awkward to use, i'm not too sure why this is....
The additional speakers are not the best, with the sound quality between them and the phone's own built-in speakers hard to distinguish between.
The lack of a flash is quite annoying, but the phone wasnt purchased for its photo taking abilities, so not that much of a problem.

+ it looks nice and is easy to use

- camera quality isn't that great and the battery life isn't very long

+ love the ability to edit and change photos. Phone is nicely styled.

- kep pad is very poor - it is unresponsive and leads to lots of texting errors and frustrations. I was expecting the phone to hold more music

+ everything

- no flash on camera

+ I bought this phone for my son, it is an excellent mp3 player whilst also having good reception when using the radio. It's slimline design makes it very attractive.

- There is only one bad feature on this phone and that is the camera, unfortunately it is only two mega pixel, however, that is not what it was bought for, my son chose this phone for the music/mp3 capabilities, if he had wanted a phone for the camera he would probably have chosen a cybershot.

+ sylish

- signal, phone switches off for 10 minutes plus on occassions

+ Fantastic phone. Great features with a sturdy and stylish design.

- Reliability, a flaw in the memory (apparently) on many earlier batches caused complete failures of the phone. Hopefully now fixed for future owners. Had to send my first one back. Battery life is not good at all.

+ small and compact and looks the part, this is my sons words as it is his phone

- music not very loud

+ Looks nice, easy to use

- no locking keypad so does tend to ring out to people without you realising it whilst in your pocket / bag. Battery seems to be loosing life and doesnt seem to be lasting as long even though charged every night. Phone has switched off for no reason a few times also which is bugging and unexplainable.

+ stylish, nice slide action, great to use, modern features, big letters when texting, a lot better than other phones

- not as loud as other sony erricsons i have had in the past (ringtone alarms).
battery goes quicker than past phones i've had.

+ It has a brilliant music player, ease of navigation, good organizer, good battery life

- It doesn't have the facility to apply a pin code to access files, photos and the internet

+ It is generally a very good phone

- The camera is rubbish

+ The phone is a good all round phone and easy to use

- Reviewer left no comment

+ good for playing music, but the packaged headphones are poor and it doesn't have a standard jack socket

- the phone hard locks fairly frequently, normally while listening to music. very annoying, i would not buy this phone again.

+ its a really good phone i would recomend it. the basic design is good the camera is good quality. it connects to the internet quickly.and you can have email sent to your phone. and the music player is excellant.overalll a good phone.

- the battery life isnt that great. andd if the phone is in a bag the navigation key is to close to the top. and connects to the internet on its own.even with key lock on.

+ It has all these features which will never get you bored. features like shake control and accelometer which turn s the screen horizontal when the phone is turned

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very good for music plus has a radio. The slim design of the phone is very good too not to bulky.

- Text messaging inbox and outbox dosn't work sometimes comes up with an error, and you have to go to master restart which means if you have messages you wanted to keep you will lose them, and also new numbers unless you back them up. I have had 2 of these mobiles and it happend with both of them.

+ slim and good looking, very easy to use. the camera takes good quality photos, with good resoloution, screen size is good. overall very hapy

- poor batery life when using to talk, if sending txt battery lasts. Has rung someone once when my pocket. make sure you exit any applications before closing otherwise keypad not locked (user error).

+ Looks trendy

- keeps overheating and restarting, bad pic quality no flash,

+ The Sony Ericsson W910i is great. Its design is a big drawer. The phones features are intuitive and easy to use. Some reviews mention the set continually crashing - I haven't had any of these problems. The phones music capabilities are second to none and all sounds are clear.

- Can be a little slow at times and the loadspeaker function isn't that fantastic even in a quiet environment.

+ I like the way the screen automatically rotates if you tilt the phone. Easy to navigate to different menu items.

- The battery drains fast while listening to music or watching videos

+ I really like the product! Its got a really modern and stylish look which i love. The music part to the phone are realy good and is one of the best things about it. its also got really good memory so tht i hold lots of music on there which i think is really good. i love my phone and a lot of my friends have now brought it because they have seen how good it is. i think it is one of the best phonees out at the moment and would highly recommend it to others!

- The battery life could be better but it is still good. Another thing which i think it quite bad is that it doesnt have a light when taking a photo with the camera this makes it very hard to take pictures in dark areas. If it had a light then i think it would be a bit better.

+ works well and had no problems with phone

- i wish key guard would come every time you slide down without have to turn all the thing off like phone book call list brfire you side it down to work the key guard

+ small and compact

- screen can't take the slightest bit of pressure

+ Phone is easy to use and navigate.

- Picture quality for photos isn't very good, especially as it has no flash. For a walkman phone the sound quality is very tinny and distorted. I have had issues with the phone switching itself off and freezing up as have several other people I know who have this phone.

+ Love the design of it and the slide out function. Menu is quite easy to navigate.

- Freezes all the time and restarts itself in the middle of texting or phone calls. Easy to scratch.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- poor storage of memory, 30 tunes and it full. cant use external flash. no flashlight or torch.
it should have been better than 880i and in 4 mouths colour is coming off the casing.electrician

+ VALUE FOR MONEY, NICE AND LIGHT TO CARRY.

- KEYPAD TOO FLAT WHEN TEXTING, TENDENCY TO HIT TWO KEYS AT A TIME

+ lots of memory for music, photos, videos, games etc.

- large screen that can be scratched quite easily

+ smart easy to use

- had to upgrade the software after only 4 weeks

+ Reviewer left no comment

- The phone set up is such that connecting to the web is all too open to a missplaced finger. I have no need to connect to the web but have done so on a few occassions unintentionally. I have immediately exited it but have still been charged over £3.00 just for connecting for moments.

+ small music video

- when pressing the back button i always turn internet on

+ Most things about this phone are great

- Programs do not stop when you slide the phone down.

+ screen is good, nice colour. easy to access phone book, tex messages and your photoes

- service with the network rubbish, internet rubbish and picture texing. also battery life rubbish

+ The phone is sooooo easy to use and very idiot proof.

- The phone can open easily if in your pocket and you can press a key without realizing.

+ It's a cracking little phone. It's an easy to use phone texting downloading ect. Very stylish looking, it was my first slide phone and I quite liked that feature.

- The shake controle isn't really shake controle unless you hold down a button, so you have to take it out of your pocket but if your doing that you may as well skip it manualy.

+ looks good, easy to use

- camera not so good,always turns itself off, inactive sim,pauses while txting,lose signal,being cut off whilst in a phone call.having missed calls even tho phone hasn't rung.

+ its a good looking phone
easy enough to use.

- the sound quality is very poor
ive had sony ericssons in the past and the sound quality was brilliant

+ The Phone looks great, it is easily workable and has great music storage, capability and sound production. Camera and video storage is excellent and the two mega pixel camera is more than enough for what I use it for.

- The only fault I have with this phone is the battery life. Following a full power restore I only have to go out for a run with my music on, or play a game and I have lost half of the power available.

+ VERY EASY TO USE

- BATTERY DOESN'T LAST LONG
