Sony Ericsson W760i Product Review

Definitely flooded by Sony Ericsson this week. I have got the W760i and C902
on hand and just finished with the C702 a couple of days ago. What is going
on with Sony Ericsson? Why do they need to rush out everything in 2 weeks
and have nothing for 2 months? The first look at the W760, it is a lot
thicker, stronger and heavier than the W580 or W910. It is just not feeling
like a Walkman phone.



The package comes with a Battery, a Charger, a USB cable, a crap handsfree,
(get your own headphones or buy a new A2DP Sony Ericsson), a CD and Manual. This unit comes with a 2GB M2 card though.






This slider has got two speakers (?) with backlight under the red and green
buttons. We tested the sound quality of the speaker and found it very good
even at a comparatively high volume. We did not test at maximum volume,
since you only needed it to be loud enough anyway. Also need to mention that
this phone got a lot of LED lights all around the phone. May be it is the
silver version; the backlight is only in white that cannot be changed
according to themes like the W580 did.






The back of the phone is full of the dots. The Walkman logo can light up
when playing music, in white colour.






This slider phone got two tiny square buttons on the top of the phone. They
are for quick launching pictures inside the phone. The left one is to pop
out pictures one by one. The right hand side button is to launch the photo
album.






Close up. On the top direction of the main navigation pad is the shortcut to
launch the GPS feature. BTW GPS receiver is located at the back of the phone
near the handsfree plug.






Keypad close up.






3.2 mega pixel camera included in the phone.






M2 card slot on top of the phone like the W580.






Browsing photo or using the Walkman interface, when you rotate your phone
sideways, the screen will rotate with you as well. Kind of handy to view
longer song names.






Google map included.






Kind of not satisfy with the release schedule of the Sony Ericsson phones.
Why all the sudden everything rushed out? It is because of the iPhone 3G
release in July? Not sure about it. But as the line between Walkman phones,
G-series, and C-series getting blurry now, can the W760i be a better phone
comparing to the smart G900 or ultra slim 5 mega pixel C902 Cyber-shot? Will the stronger built-in speakers make this Walkman phone stands out? I am not sure about it.
