Sony Ericsson W890i

Yesterday saw me changing my phone contract. This has made me look at my old phone fondly wondering if my new shiny phone will be as trusted as my old friend has been. Rewind twelve months. This saw me on the phone to my current provider O2 upgrading my contract to a new phone. I was one of the lucky ones a year ago to secure a 12 month contract. These are like gold dust now and O2 don't offer this service anymore, being one of the last to actually do so. When it comes to upgrade time, I never quite know what I want to my Sony arrived to me as part of a surprise. I had decided I could take the gamble being only a 12 month contract as it would go a lot ...  Read the complete review

I've had this phone now for a couple of weeks, and my my my I am so impressed! My previous phone was the W810i Walkman phone and I'd had that for 18 months. It withstood all sorts of stamina tests, including my daughter sitting on it and peeing all over it (and it still works!!!), so of course I knew I wanted to stick with the Sony Ericsson brand, and when it came time to upgrade, I saw the W890i Walkman and I knew it was the one for me - knowing it would be a model I could trust. I'm not going to fill this review with all the technical information about the phone because to be honest, I think if you are looking for a new phone, you'll probably already have ...  Read the complete review

** The Phone ** Sony Ericsson market the W890i as "as thin as a CD case and dressed up for grand openings", I'm not quite sure what the last bit means, maybe that it is a classy looking phone, but the first bit is definitely true. I picked this phone as my last one was a Sony Ericsson and I had no problems with it at all, and I wanted one that wasn't a slide phone (as I found myself cutting people off left right and centre!) and I wanted one that was pretty (!). The phone has a number of features that are handy from a Walkman player (a bit like a CD player in your phone), a radio inbuilt and a 3.2 megapixel camera. ** Features ...  Read the complete review

My contract with this phone has recently run out, however the W890i proved a very handy phone for the 12 months I had it, showing very few problems. Initially, the phone was of excellent use and the slim metal casing gave it a modern and sleek look along with a pair of standard headphones and together they proved very durable, however within a few weeks I found that the navigation scrool key had been chipped all around the edges and that the gold colouring on the answer keys was beginning to wear off; although I am known to have butter fingers and the phone casing as a whole never chipped around the edges following drops from all heights!

My previous phone was a Samsung. Not such a bad brand, however, I've always preferred the look and functionality of the Sony Ericsson range. I've had the phone for two weeks and I must say I am quite pleased with it. Initial thoughts and reason for choosing this phone, was simply because it was light and thin, meaning you could put this in your pocket and forget it was there until you need it. I have the phone in silver, which in my opinion is the best colour and really stands out. The phone is made from some metal like material which gives you a sense of a strong durable phone. The phone itself is well laid out, with the exception of those small buttons. I ...  Read the complete review
