Sony Ericsson Spiro W100i

 

Sony Ericsson's low-cost Spiro music phone looks good on paper, but how does it perform?

Sony Ericsson Spiro review

 

No bells, no whistles – can a stripped-back phone make it in a smartphone world?

Build quality ; Price ; General ease of use ; Decent features for the price ; Screen

Software crashes ; Poor camera ; No included USB cable ; Internet problems ; Call quality

The Sony Ericsson Spiro launched alongside the Zylo, its Walkman-branded slider brother-in-arms. While the Zylo used its FLAC audio support as its unique selling point, the Spiro doesn't really have a comparable feature, so what's to recommend it?

Sony Ericsson Spiro

 

Ever since the introduction of the iPhone, Sony Ericsson (and every other mobile brand around) has had to up its game, particularly when it comes to the inclusion of a music player. With the long-estblished Walkman brand to back it up, the Sony...

Slick finish, music player audio quality, cheap

Fiddly buttons, no Wi-Fi, clunky web browser, small memory size

The Spiro is certainly a modest phone, and there's nothing wrong with that, particulalry if you're after something that won't cost an arm and a leg. The lack of Wi-Fi and the tiny built-in memory certainly don't help its case but then at this price, we...

Sony Ericsson Spiro review

 

The Sony Ericsson Spiro is a basic slider phone with good looks and a penchant for playing music.

The Sony Ericsson Spiro is available for £39 pay-as-you-go, making it a budget phone. If you are looking for a very basic phone that looks good and is capable of very strong audio playback, then the Spiro is a fair purchase.

"The Sony Ericsson Spiro's memory can be expanded up to 16GB for ample tune storage."

Other features of the Sony Ericsson Spiro include a 2-megapixel camera and, of course, social network integration with both Facebook and Twitter covered among others. Text-messaging fans will appreciate threaded conversations in the inbox. The Spiro...

Sony Ericsson Spiro review

 

The Spiro from Sony Ericsson is the Zylo Walkman phones little brother. Certainly smaller, Certainly cheaper but is there much separating these two in the mobile gene pool and is does the Spiro's lower price tag hold it back in terms of...

3.5mm Jack ; Micro USB ; Well Built

No 3G ; Lack of features ; Poor Camera Quality

The conclusion I would draw from the Spiro is similar to that of the Zylo. For me personally if I were to choose between the two I would go for the Spiro the reason being it doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. The Zylo is not a bad phone however...

Sony Ericsson - Spiro

 

Touchscreened smartphones sometimes seem to be taking over, but there is still plenty of room for old fashioned looking handsets like Sony Ericsson's slider format Spiro. The Spiro is a music playing handset with a £40 ...

With a very basic set of specifications the Spiro is only really likely to appeal to music fans who don't want a lot more from their mobile phone than a decent music player. If that's you, then the good build and attractive price may well be appealing.
