Sony Ericsson W910 review
Network and connections
From the Japanese-Swedish collaboration comes a new handset with interesting qualities. The W910 positions itself as competitive right from the start in the mid-range market segment, thanks to Quadband GSM support that guarantees optimal coverage anywhere in the world. Furthermore, the ability to operate in Dual Mode also allows it to take advantage of the UMTS network. Connections with other devices are ensured by Bluetooth and the USB 2.0 data cable. As for Internet connectivity, the internal modem and the HTML browser allow for fast page display, thanks to GPRS/EDGE for packet traffic.
Design and features
Like all phones in the Walkman series, the design is carefully crafted to provide a functional and dynamic feel, while also maintaining a certain elegance. The upper part is glossy, with a 2.1-inch TFT display capable of displaying up to 256 thousand colors. It practically blends with the rest of the cover, from which the function keys emerge, thin but still comfortable to use. The vertical Slider opening reveals a standard alphanumeric keyboard inside. The dimensions are fairly compact, thanks to a weight of less than 86 grams and a thickness of 12.5 mm. The sales package includes the essential stereo headset, as well as the data cable.
Main features
A competitive phone certainly could not lack the most common utilities, such as an organizer for appointments and the contacts list, as well as an alarm clock and calculator. The voice sector, on the other hand, offers an integrated hands-free speaker with good audio quality, a voice recorder, and multi-conference support. The front camera also allows video calls to be made. The platform is proprietary, however Java support allows compatible applications to be installed, so you can personalize your device. Writing text messages is made easier by T9, which also facilitates composing E-mails.
Entertainment and multimedia
Let's now talk about the area where the Sony Ericsson W910 certainly gives its best. It is in fact an excellent tool for musical entertainment, thanks to the multi-format player that faithfully reproduces digital sound. Furthermore, you can receive your favorite radio stations, thanks to FM radio support with RDS function. The music you carry with you can count on a truly generous memory, if you use Memory Stick M2 cards. In addition, tracks can be organized according to various information, automatically retrieved with the TrackID function. The rear camera is really handy, 2 megapixels that deliver images whenever needed, thanks also to the Zoom and built-in Flash. For a multimedia device like the W910, respectable portability is certainly necessary; that's why the lithium battery guarantees 400 hours of Stand-by life.
