Sony Ericsson W910i

28 Feb, 2008, 12:31 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | Mobile phones

The recently concluded World Mobile Congress elected it as the Mobile of the Year. Tech2.0 previewed a prototype late last year and it did fairly well. So does the W910i deserve all the hype? We got to review it properly this time, so perhaps we can shed some light...

Form Factor
The W910 is one of the sleekest sliders I’ve reviewed till date. The slider is really smooth. The 2.4 inch display is large enough to watch a video without straining your eyes. It seems the W910 and the N81 have a something in common: they both have buttons above the display that can be used for gaming. The dedicated camera key is definitely a boon to have (as with most phones that do).

What's decidedly annoying is Sony’s insistence on its proprietary plugs for charging, USB connectivity and headphones!

I'd mentioned earlier that the keypad is a bit quirky. They keys are flat and could easily have been spaced out better or made a bit larger. But you can get by. I’ve always liked Sony’s shortcut key and, together with the nav-pad, it’s easy to maneuver through the menus.

There’s a 2 megapixel camera (sadly no flash) located at the back and a secondary VGA camera in the front. The Walkman ‘Shake It’ key is located on the top. On the whole the design is neat.
