Sony Ericsson W910i Multimedia Mobile Review
Looks-wise the W910i is much more sedate than previous Walkman phones, which tended to be a very bright, almost radioactive orange. The color of our review model is what Sony Ericsson refers to as Noble Black. Ascribing nobility to a handset is a bit much, but it does look elegant without being boring. For those who like a bit of color, it’s also available in “hearty” red.
The W910i uses Sony’s Memory Stick micro, which slots into a socket on the right. Included is a nifty USB adaptor so you can remove the card and plug it into a USB key rather than connecting your phone to a PC for data transfer.
Just like the iPhone, or the iPod Touch, the 240 x 320-pixel screen operates in vertical or horizontal mode, and can switch automatically according to how the phone is held.
Turn the phone over and you’ll find a 2-megapixel camera at the top left corner — a lower spec than we would have guessed, even for a music-focused phone.
In general we were impressed with the W910i, which brings Sony Ericsson’s commendable Walkman UI to a finger-friendly form factor. The tilting and shaking isn’t anything to e-mail home about, but there is much to like beyond the quirky bits.
