Belonging to the sliders’ category, Sony Ericsson W850i, brought a major innovation of design as compared to former models. A built-in Walkman and a big display, with these two features, Sony Ericsson W850i made good sales. While buyers who have an idea of what a phone should be from the technical point of view, make a more serious selection, less informed users are won over by the look of the phone. Available either black or white, this phone reflects elegance in its look; the main merit here comes from the 24 carat gold Walkman logo that catches the eye and makes an impression.

Sony Ericsson W850i is a really beautiful phone both on the outside and on the inside. The modern touch comes from the light effect that pulses on the keypad following the music beat. On the inside, the music player is excellent, rendering very quality music and an impeccable stereo sound in the FM radio too. The promotional package includes a stereo headset that amplifies the bass frequencies thanks to the incorporated Mega Bass feature. Music lovers really enjoy this mobile device thanks to its 1GB memory stick Pro Duo, which means that the phone can store around 250 tracks and still work well.

The designers have also brought improvements in what the management option is concerned. The drag and drop option allows quick and easy file transfer through an USB cable. The Walkman software also enables the music download directly to the phone at a very high speed. A very smart feature has been introduced in the design: the so-called TrackID. If you listen to a song on the radio but do not know who plays it, you can use this piece of software to track the album and the artist. A really incredible feature!

Sony Ericsson W850i has a built in camera allowing you to take very good quality pictures, with the possibility to use the digital flash and zoom. The video camera allows one to make 3G video calls or to record. There is no autofocus included in the design, which makes the model slightly inferior to Sony Ericsson K800i for instance. Other than this minor flaw, it seems that this Walkman phone will be difficult to match in terms of quality. A cheaper non-3G version of Sony Ericsson W850i is also available for anyone interested in getting a bargain. Have a look at both models and see which works best for you!
