Sony Ericsson W800 Mobile Phone Review

Sony Ericsson W800 is quite a looker. The combination of creamy white and metal orange do attracts the sight of everyone around. Additional components are glossy silver. W800 could hardly be mistaken with K750, especially when looked at from behind. It is just utterly different.
This phones proofs successfully, that ergonomics does not necessary mean hundreds of curves. It is easy to hold in spite of its classic construction. The size has been left unchanged: the device is 100 × 46 × 20 mm big and weighs 99 grams. Joystick is equipped with an orange rubber cap, which co-works perfectly with the middle part of the thumb. The effect- stable and sure control.
Pictures are taken in three different resolution schemes: 160 × 120, 640 × 480 and 1632 × 1224 pixels. They are saved in JPEG format. The camera is also able to shoot video with sound in a 176 × 144 resolution and 3GP format. The camera is equipped with 4x digital zoom allowing for up to 30 zooming steps and it offers plenty of settings.
The phone's main lure is its MP3 player. The player plays MP3 and AAC formats. The phone is equipped with a 5 band equalizer. Several setting modes are available, straight equalizing curve, bass accentuation, extreme bass accentuation (Mega Bass), equalizer for speech reproduction, and an independent heights accentuation. In all these cases, except for the Mega Bass, the relevant curve can be set manually. Ringing is easy to hear while the phone is playing music. The mobile handsfree profile gets activated automatically once the earphones have been connected. Incoming calls stop the music player.
The radio is stereophonic and the sound is very stable. The radio uses RDS ie.It displays the name of the current station or even additional information, if broadcasted. The radio offers 20 saving positions for stations in the frequency scale of 87.5 up to 108.0 MHz.
W800 does not have EDGE. CSD and HSCSD, or GPRS Class 10 are the options to stay connected.
Bottom-line – GOOD BUY
