Louise, Norwich
+ The W910i is great! It is stylish and easy to use and the shake feature on it is really fun - I like to listen to music on the way to work so this is the best phone for me. The sliding mechanism is also good because I can not accidentally make phone calls (which I am prone to do). Previously I had a W850i which I thought was pretty smart but the W910i is so much better.
- There are not many bad points but I do have a critisism about the size of the memory card. Previously I had a W850i and i bought a 4G sony memory card so that I could tranfer loads of music to my phone however, the W910i has a much smaller memory card (physical size not memory size) and I now have to purchase a new 4G card that is compatible with the phone and transfer my favorite tunes all over agian (of which there are many).

+ It's good for music (as a walkman). It's a nice mobile because of it's light weigh and it's cool design. Also the 1GB memory card is more than enough for your songs. It organizes the songs by many factors (artists, albums, etc) like an ipod :)
- Its Camera is bad (2.0 MP) and it doesn't have neither auto focus not flash. Also I wish it had a built-in WiFi.

Charlie, London, “Love the latest gadgets”
+ It has a very cool look but it isn't bulky. The walkman is great and shake control is a brilliant feature. The game marble madness is brilliant because you tilt the phone to move the marble. Some of the themes also use this effect which is also fun. The camera is excellent and is always commented on. I have recommended it to a friend and would recomend it to anybody else.
- There are not many bad points for this phone but i would mention that although i really like the theme 'eclipse' the menu navigation is not good at all and therefor not used. The camera could have a few more effects, e.g. facewarp or more and better things to add on to pictures etc.

+ it's a really cool phone,with a awesome design and pretty good features.its perfect if you want your phone to sound and shake like a rock star
- the battery doesn't last more than 2 days if u listen to music a few hours a day and the camera isn't that good...but i guess it's ok for a walkman

Denise, Somerset
+ it has a really good music and video system. Also it looks really stylish and thin.
- It turns off atleast 3 or 4 times a day. it can distrupt things you were doing on your phone, from sending a text, editing a photo or in the middle of a phone call. and the camera is really bad.

Fiona, Harrogate
+ I have always been a Nokia fan but not any more. I'm now a true convert to Sony. This phone has such a lovely and very instinctive feel to it. I would recommend it to any one. I bought this phone for the walkman features and although the sound quality isn't the best when played through the speakers, the quality through my blue tooth headphones is amazing.
- The connect to internet key is too easy to hit by mistake. It would be better if the software asked you 'are you sure you want to connect.

Tom, Telford, “Teenage Rock Music Addict”
+ Music is easy to find and the applications are good (like music mate). 1GB Memory card allows to get started straight away
- Low Battery Life lets it down especially when listening music

W, London
+ Ease of use, excellent clear screen, good camera, brilliant media player with good all round functionality. Everything you'd expect from Sony Ericsson.
- Just the headphones, handsfree, not attractive or user friendly - clumpy connectivity at base nof phone.

- This phone keeps switching itself off, usually in the middle of doing something. eg sending a text. it then comes back on itself, sometimes straight away but sometimes about 10 minutes later.

Chris, Peterhead
+ Best looking phone u will get without getting one of those silly iPhones and their touchscreens
- Nothing will ever be ergonomically as good as the w550i so every new phone leaves me with a slightly empty feeling ha ha.

Tracey, Tipton, “lively outgoing music lover ”
+ the good points of this phone are:-good screen resolution , great music player, doesn't scratch easily,can shake to change song, automatic keypad lock , radio signal (best out of all sony walkman) high memory capacity and it looks good.
- when these phones are shipped out they are automatically set in 3G mode which if you dont use the video calling facillity on your phone slows down the network and causes problems when calling out or sending texts you can change this by going into the phones settings menu and changing the mobile network to GSM only option.

- ALWAYS turns off which makes my opinion of the phone realy low.

Chris, Boston
+ music player is great, great design, nice sliding mechanism
- had 2 of these in first month, eventually settled for a nokia n81 8gb as build quality was so much better, i kept getting emergency calls only and the volume buttons stopped working, camera could be better ie flash

+ Its overall OK, works well large memory.
- Its nothing special, it's just the same as the older versions with a new design. It is ok, but just hasnt got any wow factor. Also it switches to stand by sometimes for no reason. The keys are hard to use and I often hit the wrong one when texting. the speaker is poor quality too,

- Purchased this contract for my daughter and we have had nothing but problems going wrong with the handset. The worse problem is turning itself off and the screen going blank.

Claire, Burnley
+ stylish, nice slide action, great to use, modern features, big letters when texting, a lot better than other phones
- not as loud as other sony erricsons i have had in the past (ringtone alarms). battery goes quicker than past phones i've had.
05 Sep 2008
Amy, Scunthorpe
+ Nice music player on it and the memory capacity is good.
- Text messaging can be a little awkward with the keypad, the buttons are not raised enough so hard to feel where you are pressing without looking. The battery life is a little too short, my friends who have the phone have also commented on this.
27 Apr 2008
Paul, Lincoln
+ Good looking phone, small and compact and nice sized screen. Good for mp3's.
- Key pad buttons not great, a bit slippy and fiddly. Battery life should be better. On/off button not recessed so you can turn the phone off in your pocket by accident...basics this one, an idiot could have spotted this one before bringing it to market!

Steve, Birmingham, “leadership consultant”
+ love the ability to edit and change photos. Phone is nicely styled.
- kep pad is very poor - it is unresponsive and leads to lots of texting errors and frustrations. I was expecting the phone to hold more music
07 Sep 2008
Steff, Blackpool
+ It's easy to use and in sync with all other Sony Ericsson phones. The music features are great, especially the SenseMe, which is a nice added bonus. The slimline design is fab and convinient, and the battery life is more than adequate, even when using the MP3 player.
- The top line of the keypad (1, 2 and 3) are quite awkward to use, i'm not too sure why this is.... The additional speakers are not the best, with the sound quality between them and the phone's own built-in speakers hard to distinguish between. The lack of a flash is quite annoying, but the phone wasnt purchased for its photo taking abilities, so not that much of a problem.

+ Everything on this phone should be good. Camera's ok, but its a walkman phone so focused on the mp3 rather than the camera. All ok. Keypads easy to use once youve got the hang of it (as with most phones, takes a couple of days to get used to it). when working, works quickly and good quality.
- It freezes and crashes constantly. If it wasnt for this it would be a great phone. But it restarts and freezes frequently, thus causing more problems than any of the positive points can cancel out.

Christine, Basingstoke
+ Looks nice, easy to use
- no locking keypad so does tend to ring out to people without you realising it whilst in your pocket / bag. Battery seems to be loosing life and doesnt seem to be lasting as long even though charged every night. Phone has switched off for no reason a few times also which is bugging and unexplainable.

Pete, Liverpool
+ I am welll impressed with the phone as a total package. As the phone is still relatively new I am still finding new features. But up to now I am very happy with this little gadget
- Now and again the video recorder comes on by it's own accord and won't switch off. The only way that I have been able to deactivate the video is to remove the battery and the replace it.

Simon, Waterlooville, “Before this hated mobiles!”
+ Fantastic phone. Great features with a sturdy and stylish design.
- Reliability, a flaw in the memory (apparently) on many earlier batches caused complete failures of the phone. Hopefully now fixed for future owners. Had to send my first one back. Battery life is not good at all.

Martin, Dunfermline
+ The Phone looks great, it is easily workable and has great music storage, capability and sound production. Camera and video storage is excellent and the two mega pixel camera is more than enough for what I use it for.
- The only fault I have with this phone is the battery life. Following a full power restore I only have to go out for a run with my music on, or play a game and I have lost half of the power available.

Julie, Shetland
+ Very good for music plus has a radio. The slim design of the phone is very good too not to bulky.
- Text messaging inbox and outbox dosn't work sometimes comes up with an error, and you have to go to master restart which means if you have messages you wanted to keep you will lose them, and also new numbers unless you back them up. I have had 2 of these mobiles and it happend with both of them.

Derek, Grangemouth
+ The Phone is a good weight and not too big in size which makes it easy to carry around like a mobile phone should.
- The camera could be better. It doesnt have a light either which makes it quite bad when taking pictures in the dark. The battery life for me lasts around 2 days but I use it alot so it can last for longer.

+ The Sony Ericsson W910i is great. Its design is a big drawer. The phones features are intuitive and easy to use. Some reviews mention the set continually crashing - I haven't had any of these problems. The phones music capabilities are second to none and all sounds are clear.
- Can be a little slow at times and the loadspeaker function isn't that fantastic even in a quiet environment.
