Sony Ericsson W890 review

By Michell Bak

Sony Ericsson W890 is the multi-talented successor of the revolutionary W880 that was announced in a little over a year ago. W890 follows up by increasing the depth of the phone with a meaningless 0.5 millimetres while adding a whole lot of features ...

Both phones are obviously not heavy to hold and especially the W890 feels really good in your palm. Where the W880 had square-like edges, the W890 has rounded edges, which feels much better

Sony Ericsson W890i

By Steven Leckart

An understated candy bar that geotags 3.2-MP pics, feasts on Wi-Fi and 3G, and captures 640 x 280-pixel video-for a price.

Brushed-silver finish fit for a Terminator. Smooth, improved keypad. 2-GB Memory Stick Micro included (phone holds up to 4 gigs). Vivid vid clips with crisp sound. Audio recorder. Decent earbuds (finally!). MusicDJ app lets you compose ringtones from ...

Won't take calls during "mass" USB file transfer. Proprietary headphone jack. No WiFi. Camera needs a flash (yesterday!). Tiny menu buttons can feel cramped.

Sony Ericsson W890 Review

By PhoneArena Team

The stylish Sony Ericsson W890 is the successor of the first truly slim model of the manufacturer (W880). In contrast to its predecessor, the new phone has few ......

slim with a pleasant appearance, good sound quality, there are back lid lockers, long battery life

No 3.5 mm jack, Limited camera capabilities, Insufficient integrated memory

We are left with positive feelings about the Sony Ericsson W890. It is a nice, light and slim Walkman, which would satisfy even the most capricious music fans. In addition, thanks to the high-speed UMTS you can check your mail or your RSS feeds, which ...

Sony Ericsson W890 review: Thin Walkman refined

By GSMArena team

With 2008 around the corner, hopes are high for the coming year but the devoted fans of Sony Ericsson W880 have yet another reason to eagerly look forward. The expected release of Sony Ericsson W890 should be enough to keep them...

Extra slim body with solid construction ; Quad-band GSM ; HSDPA, EDGE, HSCSD, Bluetooth (with A2DP) ; Location services, Smart search, Manage messages ; Media center, Walkman 3.0, SensMe tempo and mood detector, TrackID ; Access NetFront 3.4 with ...

Only 26 MB of user available internal memory ; No camera autofocus, no flash ; No skins for the Walkman player

With its super slim styling and clean-cut lines, massive 2GB storage add-on and 3.2 megapixel camera, the W890 Walkman phone can hit the right notes with music lovers and design connoisseurs alike. Sony Ericsson W890 speaks the language of the young, ...

Out-of-this-world design, head-turning exterior, non-touch Symbian UIQ, excellent multimedia equipment. We're testing a Motorola kick-slider! With the RIZR Z8 Motorola is creatively revisiting the realms of Symbian UIQ. Except for Wi-Fi, the handset...

Sony Ericsson W890i

Released in the fourth quarter of 2007 at the same time as the W660, the Sony Ericsson W890i is another option from the Sony family that is a full multimedia alternative to the new iPhone. Complete with the popular Sony Music Player, this unit sports ...

Internet browsing is fast and easy ; Talk time is great for both personal and business use ; Internal memory space is a decent 28 MB

No QWERTY keyboard, which some users will miss ; No GPS navigation on the unit, which is surprising

When it comes to networking, the W890 works fine with the super fast and reliable 3G network, as well as the GSM and GPRS networks. Many people find it surprising that so much power can be found in such a small casing, and certainly with no added ...

Sony Ericsson W890i

By Andrew Lim

The Sony Ericsson W890i Walkman phone could go down in mobile phone history as one of the best Sony Ericsson handsets ever. It greatly improves upon its W880i predecessor with a solid, slim casing and we argue that you could even replace your MP3 ...

Thin design ; relatively large screen ; HSDPA ; excellent music player

Lack of flash on the camera ; no Wi-Fi

Sony Ericsson's last attempt at making a thin Walkman phone had us yearning for something more refined, and this is it. The Sony Ericsson W890i combines a slim and solid design with useful features and the all important Walkman functionality

Hannspree has made a name for itself by making a range of wacky portable TVs in the shape of helicopters, giraffes and even an elephant, complete with a trunk. This time around, it drops the novelty act to produce a no-nonsense 32-incher, the XV32...

Sony Ericsson W890i mobile phone

By Chris Hall

Award: Hot Product!

Does this Walkman phone hit the spot?

Compact, HSDPA, Walkman, looks great

Some controls might not suit larger fingers, no 3.5mm socket

Lovingly wrapped in brushed metal, the W890i oozes an elegance that is missing from many of its contemporaries; it doesn't boast about its features, it just delivers them

As is normal with Sony Ericsson phones, you have to use the handsfree dongle as there is no 3.5mm jack which is a negative point. As we mentioned in our First Look review of this phone, Sony Ericsson aimed it at an "older" 25-40-year-old...
