Sony Ericsson W890i
Reviewer: review.tech-faq.com29 April 2009Released in the fourth quarter of 2007 at the same time as the W660, the Sony Ericsson W890i is another option from the Sony family that is a full multimedia alternative to the new iPhone. Complete with the popular Sony Music Player, this unit sports a sleek design that makes it ideal for just about any setting. The body of the phone is one of the thinnest on the market today, with not much difference from the thickness of a CD case. This makes carrying the unit in a... Read more

Just Drag and Drop Audio Tracks With Sleek Multimedia Phone Nokia N78 $520 An understated candy bar that geotags 3.2-MP pics, feasts on Wi-Fi and 3G, and captures 640 x 280-pixel video—for a price. Motorola Rokr E8 $289 We'd take the rich sound and up to 6 GB of storage if not for those fussy controls. LG Vu $330 Such a responsive touchscreen deserves better than a glacial processor and crummy optics. We loved this haute handset's precursor, the equally slim (0.4-inch)... Read more

Reviewer: The Star Online17 May 2008
Overall, Sony Ericsson’s latest Walkman phone is not groundbreaking but is still a decent one with all the important features. The call quality was superb, the 3.2-megapixel camera was decent, and the The Walkman interface is great for listening to music and for managing songs, pictures and videos. However, it was very difficult to type messages because of the small keys and the 3.2-megapixel camera lacks advanced features such as autofoucs and macro mode. All in... Read more

Sony Ericsson W890 Review

We are left with positive feelings about the Sony Ericsson W890. It is a nice, light and slim Walkman, which would satisfy even the most capricious music fans. In addition, thanks to the high-speed UMTS you can check your mail or your RSS feeds, which interest you. Moreover, the nice appearance, in combination with the quality sound, will compensate for the lack of autofocus and flash. If you are looking for a beautiful music phone, W890 is a very good choice. However,... Read more
