Sony Ericsson W850i Review

Rating:
Date: 24/11/2006
The Sony Ericsson W850i is a 3G Walkman phone with a sliding design available in a black or white finish. Both colours contain slight orange details to highlight certain buttons and the white phone has the Walkman logo made of 24k gold. For ease of use, this phone has dedicated access keys for music and web access. It has a lighting feature that illuminates the phone around the play button with a pulsing effect to the rhythm of your music. The weight of the phone slightly lets the stylish design down as it is 116g.
The phone has a very good camera with video capabilities. It has 2 megapixels and a 4x digital zoom as well as a flash light for taking pictures in poor lighting. The second camera that sits above the phone screen is used for video calling. Images are easy to see in the large 2 inch colour screen. It is very clear with 262k colours and a resolution of 540 x 320 and is the best available in the market at the moment.
Being a Walkman phone, the music player is excellent. It plays MP3 and AAC format and also has an FM Radio. It has a stereo sound through the headphones and the option to choose Mega Bass™ for a fuller sound. With the TrackID™ feature on this phone you can find out the title, album and artist name by sending a sample of the song to the music database. The music management software (Disc2Phone) also enables you to transfer music files from a PC to your phone along with the information about the artist, album and the track. The W850i also has a direct link to the PlayNow™ so music can be downloaded straight to your phone.
The phone has an internal memory of 16MB and the option to expand it to 1GB with an external memory card so you can store approximately up to 1000 songs.
This phone has a 64-voice polyphonic sound enabling 64 notes to be played simultaneously. As well as polyphonic ringtones, the phone can also play MP3's as ringtones. The melody composer lets you create your own monophonic ringtones and you can compose your own polyphonic ringtones using the MusicDJ™ feature.
The W850i has great connectivity with Bluetooth, USB mass storage, infrared and FastPort. Bluetooth allows you to connect wirelessly to another device with the same capabilities up to 10 metres apart. The USB mass storage is a great and easy way to connect to your PC as it has a simple and easy interface that allows you to drag and drop files so works great with the MP3 player. The expandable and/or phone memory appears on the PC screen as a mass storage device.
The phone can connect to the internet via a 3G connection which enables 384 kbps data transfer. This is the fastest connection available as using a 3G connection is similar to a broadband connection.
The W850i works on a quad-band frequency which means that it will work in Europe, America and Japan.
Overall, this is a very good top of the range phone. It has an excellent MP3 player along with great memory to support it and great connection with significantly fast data speeds with 3G. The things that let the phone down are the size and weight, and also the keypad as this has had some complaints from some users.

Features of the Sony Ericsson W850i include:

  • 3G
  • Camera: 2 megapixel, 4x digital zoom, flash
  • Video Camera: Video record, Video streaming
  • Display: 262,144-colour TFT, 240x320 pixel
  • Music Player: FM radio, MP3, AAC
  • Java Games
  • Ringtones: 64-voice polyphonic, MP3 / AAC ringtones
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth, Infrared, USB, Fast Port
  • Memory: Internal memory 16 Mbyte, 1 Gbyte Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick Duo
  • Messaging: SMS, MMS, Email
  • Internet: GPRS, UMTS, Access NetFront Web Browser
  • Operating Frequency: GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900, UMTS 2100
  • Size: 98 x 47 x 21 mm
  • Weight: 116 g

Only once did it freeze up and so out with the battery and then back in to fire it up again. Cant seem to fault it. This is my 4th Sony Ericsson phone and have tried other brands but for me ill stick with this one.

I've had this phone for almost 3 years now, and i gotta say that i'm very impressed by it. the looks are top-notch, the music quality is unbelievable, and the rest of the features are satisfactory enough. the camera could've been better, and i did have to give it for repair twice after some display complaints, but other than that, this is definitely one of best SE phones out there.

I have been using this phone for the past 2 years . It is a very solid phone . All the features are in working condition even now , This phone is now 4 years old and I changed the battery due to bulging , that's Ok , I decided not to go for another phone and stick on to this , I like the display , very clear and not many scratches even without any protection . I could get the dismantling instructions from the internet and do some internal cleaning . I had to change the flex strip due to a fall from my pant pocket , I was very sad when this happened. it worked fine for one more week with ocassional display problems which turned to blinking display . It was cheap to change the strip . If you like sophistication and this is a phone which does look like a music player than a phone , the sound quality is excellent , very good head phones which does not fall off the ears easily is an added advantage . I do a lot of preventive maintenance and try not to rough use the phone . Nobody borrows the phone from me since they do not know how to use it . The navigation keys can be altered with short cuts of my choice. I use the phone in my car the hands free voice dialling and answering features are excellent, and safe also . The speaker phone is excellent . I can do almost everything without opening the slider . Excellent bluetooth features and connectivity with the PC Suite . I am not convinced with the reviews which say this is a bad phone , such people do not know how to use a music phone or know how these phones are made, i bought an original battery , do not go for duplicate cheap batteries they will ruin your phone . I bought another charger for my old battery to prevent strain on my phone's charging circuit. I use the old battery also as a stand by after charging it outside the phone on the external charger . Always switch off the phone before removing the battery.

I bought this phone when it first came out at quite a steep price.I must say it has been the best investment i have made. I have had it for four years now and had absoultley no problems with it. I must admite i am not the most carefull of persons i drop it atleast once a day on hard surfaces for four years and it has never ever broken. It literally has everything you could want or need in a phone even being able to make your own music! It sadans me that im being forced into buying a new phone every speck seems worse than the last comparing with what this phone does!

Looking forward to finally getting rid of this phone... It's bulky (has weakened my jacket pocket it's so heavy, and looks like a brick too); it's difficult to text (buttons are small and impractical); the slider is annoying (it doesn't always automatically lock the phone when you slide up - so you can end up calling people from your pocket); and it's complicated trying to sync with PC, so in nearly 2 years I still haven't done it. And did I mention the battery life isn't that great (and never has been)? The bars go up and down, they have a mind of their own. Only kept this so long because I have another phone, which I use more...

A fantastic phone. I have an eyesight problem and needed a phone with a large clear screen. easy to use controls, and diddn't feel as though I was carrying a brick around in my pocket. This phone fits the bill perfectly. It has everything and more that I need but most importantly for me is the sound quality, and this is excellent on both music and speach. The screen clarity is also excellent this added to the easy to use menu system adds to the phone's ease of use. The camera isn't the best, but still better than average. That said, this phone majors on its sound quality not it's camera. If you want one to take good pictures you'll need the upper end of the K series that use Sony's Cybershot camera technology. You do have to be wary of the large screen though as this does make it vulnerable if it's put in your pocket without a case, My first W850i got broke so I replaced it imediately with another one it is that good. Build quality is excellent. I have heard that some people have had problems using the buttons, but in my opinion you can't get much worse than a partially sighted bloke with fingers like a bunch of bannana's, and I'm having no probs with it at all. I am so pleased that for this phone Sony Ericsson got rid of that pain in the butt joystick they seemed to like inflicting every purchaser with. The new direction pad is much easier to use adds to the allready good looks of the phone. To sum up the W850i is by far the best phhone I've ever had or tried and beleive me I've had the use of a lot of phones over the last fifteen years.

the front keypad is very clumsy and you can hardly do anything without the walkman interfering. And my keypad broke after a month cos i love playing games. I've been using it for over a year now and i doubt if i still can part with it cos it falls like a ball and its still working perfectly.

i've had this phone for a bit over a year now, it started off great, but after a few months, whenever I receive a call, I'd press accept once; nothing would happen, so I press accept again..and it closes the call. I now always have to call back, and the battery life isn't great, it lasts about 2 days not even using the phone that much.

I love this phone, great features, great pictures and music quality. The only problem that me and my boyfriend have had with this phone is the key pad on the front of the phone next to the walkman controls breaks easily. Mine broke within 5 months of having that phone

I ve W850i, the worst one in this world. The next worst thing is the Sony Ericsson support and service centres. I hate them. They dont justify their existance. I have spent a lot on my mobile and it is still dead.

had this phone for nearly a year now.. treated me well until the official charger blue my battery up inside it. it now turns off if you slide the phone fast, of sometimes just randomly, also turns itself off when full charged? i hate the fact when it's on file transfer mode, and you unplug it, it restarts? walkman button is in a very stupid place, it's to close to the up button. the camera is okay, but needs good lighting for it not to come out fuzzy and bland. i like the apps and games avaliable for download on this phone, battery life is poor though. also another negative, there's only one socket, which is for either charging, or headphones etc maybe they should just introduce seperate sockets? screen size is okay, but isnt bright enough, even when brightness is on 100% also the phones fairly brick-ish, but doesnt do any harm, i'm used to brick phones, hence the nokia 6600 xD im never getting a s.e again.. i'm getting a 14 day trial on iphone 3g, i wonder how that'll be.

Iv had this phone for a year now and i have finally given up the speaker is awful especially when making a call, i found i couldn't hear the person on the other end of the phone and if i did it was faint although they could hear me, i thought it may have just been the speaker i took it bk to the shop where they said it was the volume although if i turned the volume up on the phone it would just crackle. after 5months of having the phone the screen started to go white and after a week totally went blank and wouldn't turn on the shop where after a month of looking at it they then replaced it with a brand new phone with a new w850i which still had the same speaker problem a few months later it did the same thing again i have now given up with the w850i and have brought a new phone all together. this is a rubbish phone and i wouldn't recommend anyone to buy it!!!!!!!!
