Sony Ericsson W850 review: A Walkman with a slide

06 November 2006
Sony Ericsson W850 is the next Walkman phone, but this time it comes in the slider form factor. It boasts a large display with QVGA resolution, full 3G capabilities with video calls, a 2 megapixel camera and the latest Walkman 2.0 music player. It’s an expensive mobile to start with but hopes are that it’s got more than needed to become a bestseller.

      do u notice the phone's lcd (brightness) flickers a bit...
      cos i have the problem.. very obvious. Then send in for servicing... the problem still exist, just that it is not so obvious now.

        @alisa

        IMO, get the w850i, the d900 is cheap looking and is not a good phone at all. My mate has one and hes has many problems with it, im getting a w850i next week wen it arrives in the post, i will post more then :)

            does it have a good video player?
            does the absence of autofocus make big difference?
            is the slider firm enough?
            is there any problem with the qcif format that the phone records the videos in?
