I bought this phone during the summer as a replacement for a phone I'd had for a very long time. I have never been fond of cell phones so I was not really bothered with type of phone I purchased. I looked around my local mall and saw that there were several cheap models at around the £30 mark in high street phone shops like O2 and Phones 4U. I then called into Asda and saw this on sale for £29.99. I had seen the same model priced £10 higher in O2. Asda were also selling £5 mobiles at the time but I felt that this phone looked sturdy and simple to use. The phone was contracted with Orange, so when I purchased the phone I bought a top up voucher for my Pay as ...  Read the complete review

The Sony Ericsson W200i is definitly the phone for you if you are looking for a cheap, high quality mobile that does most things. The main reason I brought it was because it was cheap and I had carelessly dropped my previous, expensive handset into the water trough at the stables and because it was a week after Christmas, my purse was still reeling. It cost me £39.99 from Argos and is one of the best budget buys I have ever made. The design is in my opinion, excellent. The screen is very large and easy to read from. The buttons are relatvily well sized and flat, making texting very easy. The central scroller button is well placed and very easy to use. The ...  Read the complete review

This phone is my current phone and so far has been pretty much flawless in every aspect. The first point I would like to make is the brilliant price. I got mine in a dark pink colour for £30 in Wollworths. In my opinion, for a walkman phone of this quality this is fantastic value for money. Camera: The camera on the Sony Ericsson W200i is very easy to use. There are many different functions that you can change aswell. My only complaint about the camera would be the picture quality. It can sometimes be a bit pixilated and blurry. Don't let this put you off though because the phone is designed to be a walkman not a camera! It definately makes up for the not so ...  Read the complete review

I've had this same phone for roughly 3 years now. I can easily say it the most durable phone ever! Design: This phone has a very unique design, with a decent size screen, joystick, joined keypad buttons, and a conventional candybar shape. The orange colour subtley adds to the charm. These factors all contribute to a cute, and practical design. Features: Luckily, this phone has the ability to make phone calls and texts (traits I am expecting newer designs to slowly forget as they get more and more technology packed into them). You also have the attraction of the Walkman application, with an option to expand memory space with M2 cards. ...  Read the complete review

The w200i is a case of horses for courses. If you need the latest phone with all the bell and whistles, then forget this one. If - like me - you need a simple, cheap phone you can rely on, then this is a bargain at £30 or less. I paid £30 for mine at Argos (Orange payg) and I haven't regretted the purchase. No bluetooth, etc, but I don't need or want all that stuff - I'm disabled and need a cheap phone I can rely on in an emergency. The w220i is easy to use for calls and texts, which is all I need. That said, it does have a camera (just adequate, but I hardly use it anyway), a radio and an mp3 player. I'm divided over the last two - I enjoy ...  Read the complete review
