Sony Ericsson W800i
A small country on the south of Europe. In the shops there is no V800i. There is no Z800i. There is no K750i. But there is W800i for two days now.That is Croatia.
I have been using an imported K750i for the past month now and I had thought that it was my perfect phone. I was pretty sure that the W800i would not be of any great interest to me considering that I had a K750i. I was wrong! Since picking it up yesteday I haven’t let go of it!
This isn’t going to be a typical mobile phone review, this handset is basically the same as the K750i. I had one of the first K750i’s so there should be no difference in camera quality between the two, assuming that the CCD rumours are true of course! The build quality is better than that of the K750i and the software is both fast and stable (my handset has version R1L002). I know many of you will not agree with me when I say that SE have the most stable software, in terms of non-smartphones, with the K750/W800, but I hold to that view. I made objective comparisons between these handsets using terms such as speed, stability, visual impression, battery usage, functionality and more, but I couldn’t find any real competitor.
But I digress, back to the W800! The packaging is very cool, not quite so tempting as the special promotion being run in Singapore, which you can see here, but still good enough for me. It is the standard package: handset, charger, MSDP 512 Mb, headphones, manual, etc. I was surprised to discover that the MSDP was by Sandisk and not Sony (perhaps even SE find Sony memorysticks overpriced!?). Although I have never considered there to be any great difference between Sony and Sandisk MSDP I was still surprised. It is a standard MSDP in all other respects, a full size adapter comes in a little orange box. It isn’t one of the latest high speed MSDP, but perfectly adequate for use in the W800. (more…)
