Advantages: Speed Dial feature, music player, build quality

Disadvantages: Small buttons, less than intuitive menus

Got the Sony Ericsson W910i on an Orange Pay as you go contract, costing about £90 as an upgrade. I chose a different colour from the photo and went with black for the phone which is a bit more business like than bright red. Previous to owning this I had a Sony K700i and I have to say this phone is vastly superior. All the functions are there as you expect with a phone- 2MB camera, text messaging, organisers, alarms, WAP, bluetooth and the all important phone function. This is a walkman phone too and has a slot for reading memory cards and playing your music.

The phone is 3G so the web access is superb for checking football results online, it connects and downloads them really quickly. It is also tri-band so works in America and Europe- I have only used it in the UK and France, and it worked well in both. The bluetooth is excellent- connects to my sat-nav allowing hands free calls. The menus and easy to understand but some functions are stuck away in odd places taking a few days to get used to, but it is a minor gripe. The buttons can also be a bit small for texting. Phone build quality and sound quality are both excellent. I particularly like the speed dial function where you use the number keys to type in the first letters of the person in your address book and the number appears. The camera takes good images for a phone but 2MP isn't great anymore and a better resolution would help.

All in all a very good device.

Summary: All in all a good phone, but could be improved with larger buttons and a better menu system
