This is a great phone. Very easy to use. One of my favourite phones ever. Would never go for a touch screen phone. Want a phone that's easy to manage, choose this one.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
An excellent phone with plenty of storage space for photos. The camera is above average for a mobile phone, as are the supplied headphones. While there is no need for W800i users to upgrade to this model, the W810i offers an impressive feature set for those considering the purchase.
the good 1. Walkman player. 2. Loud enought. 3. Decent photo quality. 4. Flashlight 5. and a lot of ofher usefull stuff the bad 1. very short battery life 2. not cofortable to use, every time i want to lock up my phone i pressing something diferent. 3. Software is just ... bad. 4. phones crashes and reboots on his own quite often I have this phone like 2 months. in my opinion this phone isnt best disision i made.
I bought this phone in February 2007...i'd saved up for a while, and got it for £120 (which was cheap at the time) from 02's online shop... As a sidepoint - I would never buy directly from 02 again, customer service was just terrible - i was meant to get an extra £20 discount which i never got, and the phone was meant to come with free speakers which also never came - repeated complaints to 02 have never been answered, aside from "we're dealing with it - it's now 7 months later! Anyway back to the phone,...i bought it in Feb 2007, and it was absolutely brilliant, unfortunately I went swimming around June with it in the pocket of my shorts! I've never felt so bad, because that phone was my pride and joy, and it was beyond repair! So i waited till i saved up for another phone...It's September 2007 now, and i bid for a used W810i on ebay yesterday which looked ok aside from having scratches on it's screen, set my maximum bid in at £75, someone else got it for £77 & £7 p&p...i was damn annoyed! - So i went down my local tescos and found a brand new one for £79.99 when i took it to the checkout they said i was entitled to £20 free phone credit! So I'm chuffed!! Morale of that story is shop around - there are bargains to be had on ebay, but it's not always the best. Right now really to the phone - I've had 2 models of Sony Ericssons now, the K350i and the W810i - having previously had a Sagem (terrible!) Panasonic (was ok, for a year) Nokia (ok, but nothing amasing and died after 1 and a half years) and Motorolas (not so great)...i turned to the first of my Sony Ericssons, and found it brilliant, i kept it for over 2 years and it was fantastic in its day....i would now never dream of buying anything other than Sony..,...so I went for the W810i. My friends were getting the W850 at the time, but i couldn't afford it and the W810i has pretty much the same features so i wasn't so jealous. The phone was a dream. The screen is fantastic quality and resolution the colours are so bright and crisp, pictures are displayed brilliantly, the walkman is fantastic, easy to use and understand...great sound off it, with Sony's Megabass feature on the phone...The radio function is crystal. I've never had a problem with the calls. I really don't understand some people complaining about the battery. I thought it was one of the most brilliant things of the phone - The battery is amasing! It lasts for ages, and charges breathtakingly fast - takes hardly any time - it absolutely eclipses any other phone's battery around. The only minuses i could find? Well the fact that you can't use your own headphones - you have to have the Sony Ericsson special plughead to fit into the phone, and it is known to break off, and did on my last phone - so be careful with them! Personally i listen to my phone on the loudspeaker anyway, if i want to listen to music with headphones i use my actual 20Gig MP3 player. It comes with half a gig of Memory, which you can upgrade to 4Gig, and even 8Gig...the half a gig is very nice tho...there is a way if you can find out how ;) to get videos from the net on to the phone, which is brilliant! I keep loads of family guy and music videos on mine! The old sony ericssons used to have a problem with the joypad packing in totally - glad to say Sony have resolved this with the Walkman series and here in the W810i and its no longer a problem. All in all its truely a legend among phones - an amasing phone!Read full review
