Sony Ericsson W800i opened the Walkman brand series produced by the company, preparing the market for a different kind of product. The new innovative design brought Bluetooth features, USB connectivity and Infrared, all part of a very trendy look. After its release in 2005, Sony Ericsson W800i became a starting point or platform for further development in this field of electronics. The external memory capacity of the device is of only 2G, but in the context when it was produced, the outcome was a success. For the release moment, such memory size was enough.
There are video recording features incorporated in the Sony Ericsson W800i, the camera has an autofocus and a flash. Moreover, the playback time for the device when operated in the music mode is of thirty hours which definitely means a lot if we consider the life extent of modern batteries. In fact, you don’t have to recharge the battery of Sony Ericsson W800i too often if you are a moderate user that keeps the phone on standby for a serious amount of time. According to the specifications, the battery has a 400-hour operational period and a talk time of nine hours. Sony Ericsson W800i can be still purchased from many retailers, and the prices have dropped significantly from the time of the release.
A minor disadvantage of this phone is the fact that it relies on a joystick for memory navigation. Lots of users say that the joystick can easily get damaged or lose its functionality in time. Sony Ericsson W800i can be also very prone to minor breaks, scratching or wearing in time particularly if its treatment is not adequate. Sometimes dust may get inside the display ruining the visibility on the screen. Yet, such inconveniences are pretty rare and have not prevented Sony Erricsson W800i from becoming very popular and well sold.
A very unfair competition for Sony Ericsson W800i is the Music Mobile W800c, produced in China. There is a striking similarity between the two models, and it is doubtless that the Chinese design pays tribute to the W800i series. The reliability of this fake item are doubtful and Sony Ericsson W800i in its original variant is definitely superior. Should you see this item while searching for a good mobile, don’t take the price tag as its only recommendation. Otherwise, you may waste your money on a poor mobile device that can fail you any moment!
