Sony Ericsson W810 review: Walkman on the EDGE

Sony Ericsson W810 review: Walkman on the EDGE - read the full textA few months after launching its new W810 model, Sony Ericsson delivered it to our office. This black twin of the famous W800 model features EDGE and the main menu has undergone slight modifications. All other applications have remained untouched. The new W810 is much more about color emotions, sport spirit, and launching novelties at all costs.

camera needs flash! its useless otherwise at night in a dark lounge or bar.

the light blinds people when taking pictures in dare areas.

volume in ear is not loud enough!!!

can barely get one days use on the battery with limited call use AND use of only ONE extra feature: listening to music, using speakerphone, having bluetooth on.

otherwise good phone.

Had the w810i for 3 months now, i love it but there is a major drawback for me:
messages storage capacity is really low, i get the "message memory near full, please remove messages" message way too often, and i couldn't figure out if there is an option to store text messages in the memory card where there is plenty of free space

Just purchased this phone today after reading lots of reviews about it. Overall it's an excellent phone with very few disappointsments so far.

I am concerned about protecting the camera lens though and am not sure what to do about it.

Does anyone know if bluetooth stereo music headsets will work with this phone? I was thinking about buying those nice Motorola ones to go with it, but I don't want to d it if they wont work.

Thanks in advance,
Nirodha

Just purchased this unit on 19 Oct 2006, 2 days after the phone got problem, rebooted it self and then flashing a white at the screen until the batt exhausted. Sent to SE service center then they flashing a latest firmware. 5 hours then the problem come again and i send it again until this third time they said hardware problem need for replacement and until now i still wait for the result. Phone is great, camera and sound superb with HPM70..thus what can i say.. maybe mine was 1 in 100 unit that come faulty. No regret..nobody perfect but as long its under SE warranty..who care. Phone solid and nicely fit in my shirt pocket just nice.

I went to www.newegg.com to purchase a 2GB (Ultra) SanDisk memory stick for approx $65.00. It is blazing fast and was a great buy. We buy all our computer periphials from newegg.com where I work. Try them out.

Just tried the clamshell w300. Opted for the w810i instead through Cingular. Just came off a Motorola Vsomething. This is a fantastic phone. I can record voice notes at work. I use the countdown timer at my job. I listen to music through the FM or Walkman while in the car or while working outside at my home. If anyone calls the music stops while have a short conversation. I am very impressed with the entire package.....the w300 was also nice. I prefer the candybar form factor. The photo quality is also a great reason to upgrade. I appreciate having a usable camera. I can take shots then email them. I can record voice notes then email them as well. Sony has a great website for free themes and ringtones.........lamarjackson@knology.net

You cant find a better phone. 2mp camera, mp3 player, i've dropped it at least 4 times and not a scratch and still works perfect. Had it 3 months and was gonna change but k800i is too big, k610i and v630i dont have autofocus so no point. This is THE BEST fone out there right now.

Hi! I have owned both this phone, w810i, and its previous model the w800i. I have found them both great and personally I would of stuck with my w800i but it was stolen and my insurance gave me the next model up. However, the w810i is just as good and I have found it to Load faster on a 2gb card than the w800i did.

I see alot of you have questions and so if you want anything answered I will do so to the best of my Ability If you send me an e-mail at mushilea@bigpond.net.au.

Thanks and god bless!

you can use a 2gb card. in fact, there is now a 4gb card that works fine with it. let's hope the upcoming 8gb card works just as well

its a g8 phone i have 4 a week now but the sound(loud speaker) is a bit low compared to other phones+ the battery should be a bit better...im a heavy user so i have to recharge every 24 hrs or even less .... i liked the idea of recharging thru the usb cable + the sound thru the earphones is g8 (believe me u will like it)

I'm definetly going to buy this thin. The only problem is the lack of protection for the lens. I don''t but phones often. My current phone is Siemens M65. I've had it for a little mor than a year and it camera is P.O.W (Prisoner Of War) against dust! I couldn't see a thing after 4 months

It is a phone worth buying. Packed with lots of features, and you can use a whole day exploring its capability/features. I like the RDS radio auto tuning, sound system. Battery life span is also very good, only manage to exhaust it after 2 days of intensive exploration and usage. Thumbs up!!!
