Sony Ericsson W890i

Sony Ericsson's slinkiest Walkman phone is just as iconic but now has a sharper multimedia tang

There are plenty of features in this mobile phone, but what really makes it stand out is the superb design. Small and shiny, it is light and usable. If you don't need a sophisticated camera in your phone it could be ideal.

As has become expected from the Walkman range, the music features are excellent, but it ; s the ultra-fast HSDPA that really sets the W890i apart

The Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot range provides much better cameras

Sony Ericsson has improved an already excellent handset. It really is hard to fault the W890i, from its über-slim design, cracking internet capabilities, Google Maps and of course the built-in music player. A truly accomplished handset.

The Sony Ericsson W890i is no different in terms of target audience, plus it gets all those who loved the original device, but now crave for something new with a better camera and radio onboard. What I need to note here is that the W890i's spec sheet...

Build quality, superb design, HSDPA-capable, 2GB Memory Stick Micro (M2), A2DP Bluetooth, TrackID, SensME

3.2-megapixel camera lacks flash and autofocus

A stylish, classy exterior with excellent build quality, just 10mm thin and boasting an superior keypad and controls despite its compact size. Add HSDPA support and an excellent user interface to the mix and the W890i is almost perfect.

Beautifully designed, Excellent music player, RSS feeds ticker, 2GB bundled memory

Headphone port on side of phone, Keypad still quite small, Poor quality camera

If you like the W880i, you'll love this newer model. The larger keypad and 2GB memory make this slimline Walkman phone a real winner.
