Sony Ericsson W890i

“The Sony Ericsson Walkman lineup is diverse enough to cater to all tastes in terms of design and functionality. With the W890 we have a nice update in the slim bar form factor.We liked the compact and amiable W880, and we believe the W890 is a welcome successor. It does address some of the major letdowns in the older W880: the tiny keys and the lack of FM radio. The user interface of the high-end W910 and the added HSDPA and quad-band GSM support are a commendable effort to set the Sony Ericsson W890 above its predecessor.We expected a bit more from the camera, the size of the display and the loudspeaker performance. The missing Shake Control and auto-rotate capability may also raise a brow or two.Sony Ericsson W890 is an undoubted improvement over the W880 but we can't help being wary. We frowned at the overpriced tag of W910, never mind its high-end status. Let's hope the asking price won't kill the appeal of Sony Ericsson W890. The neat and compact handset is a worthy offering for its solid feel, nice handling and good feature set.”

“We loved this haute handset's precursor, the equally slim (0.4-inch) W880i, and the update is even better. It's slightly heavier and wider but still disappeared neatly in our front pocket. And even with a Mac, transferring audio tracks was drag-and-drop easy.WIRED Brushed-silver finish fit for a Terminator. Smooth, improved keypad. 2-GB Memory Stick Micro included (phone holds up to 4 gigs). Vivid vid clips with crisp sound. Audio recorder. Decent earbuds (finally!). MusicDJ app lets you compose ringtones from your library. A paused track holds its place, even after phone shuts down.TIRED Won't take calls during mass USB file transfer. Proprietary headphone jack. No WiFi. Camera needs a flash (yesterday!). Tiny menu buttons can feel cramped.”
