Sony Ericsson W760 review: Walkman meets GPS

25 March 2008
Sony Ericsson W760 made a name for being the first Sony Ericson phone to offer an integrated GPS receiver. With a large QVGA display, stereo speakers, Media Center and the 3 megapixel camera on top, the W760 packs a nice punch...

You know, that notes thing isn't new! You can do it on many models (like the w850 and the k800).

        hi... In fact I like the shape of W760 and I wait it... but after i saw this review I see more disadvantages E.x a bad voice , not clear screen in the suny weather,not qulity camera, so its take to by another phone. in generaly this phone has a nice shape and something good e.x 3d games.

          Right now i have 910.
          I wanted to buy 760 cause i was thinking it much better ^^.
          But after this review i changed my mind. Now i see that 760 not better at all.
          - Stereo speakers sucks!
          - Display is smaller.
          - stupid colors on the phone. Black and yellow...? ha ha ...

          Another words waste of money.

            the game keys remind me of my lost w550i. awww. however, this phone is really great. the media center application of SE phones impresses me a lot. i'm hoping that the true release will come with a video call camera.
            it can be noticed that the "Clear Bass" feature of Sony Walkman portable music players (which seems to replace the "Mega Bass") is now also featured in this phone.

                    GSM ARENA- very good review but you didn't mention more about the audio quality of the W760 in your review. I would really like to know more in your usual audio quality frequency test. Thank you very much!

                        In most aspects C702 turns out to be a better allround solution than this. C702 packs with one of the best 3 megapixel camera alongside with a very akin music player to this phone and at the same time features geotagging and GPS. C702 only lacks accelerometer but i think this is not so useful. besides the durability of the C702 simply makes up for the lack of the motion sensor. but anyway it's part of SE strategem of phone diversification. and W760 is nice though :)

                          to 0BSH (the person below):

                          You got a point there but what count most is listening to music using earphones.

                            'integrated stereo speakers are not impressive neither in sound qiality, nor in loudness'


                            what the hell is the point of being a walkman phone if the music sucks both ways

                                I think SE really have disappointed with the camera interface. They have proven they can make one of the best with the Cyber-Shot interface, and they even put that in previous mid to high end Walkman phones like the W890i and W910i. I don't see why they didn't here. Being a beta unit is a poor excuse, they won't change much before its release.

                                Also, GSMArena makes a big deal of the supposedly new feature of displaying notes in the standby. If this is so new, how come I've been able to do it on every single SE phone I've had since my Z600i about 4 years ago? Its an old feature!

                                  Nice phone. For those who have se phones, download the google maps and the tracker application in fun and downloads, you will have a mini google earth in your phone but if you want to spice things up, purchase the headset HGE-100 and you have an instant GPS. It works well in my w960i and k810i. i love se

                                      there is so much to choose from, so this phone bein a disapointed for some ppl dosn't worry big companies cause they would always have something different, i personaly like the look of this phone and the features but i seem to be more attracted to bar phones than sliders. so my next phone will be the C902 now that got huge features and i don't care bout the wifi thing lol.. im tire of surfin the net at work and at home be so much worst on the road lol. SE rules!!

                                        Great Review guys. I think this phone is a good alternative to the Nokia N95 (V.1 or 8GB), it all depends weather you want music or camera.
