Walkman phones by Sony Ericsson are fascinating pieces of technology. This series has seen handsets in almost all designs, including candy bar, flip phone and swivel, and now the company has introduced W850i in a sleek and sexy slider design. The performance of the phone only matches its good looks, making this handset a complete package.
The exterior of the handset is beautifully constructed and the 262,144-colour screen adds to its visual appeal. It displays backgrounds, snaps and videos beautifully with utmost clarity. The set of features that the W850i offers matches with the other handsets in the series. The range of business features in the phone includes infrared port, Bluetooth, e-mail, USB cable support and PC synchronization.
The star attraction of the handset, as is the case with all walkman phones, is its music player. The users can organize music by artist, track name or playlist. Various settings available in the music player include album/song shuffle and loop, stereo widening and an equalizer. The W850i lets you seamlessly shift between the phone and the player as the music automatically stops when you receive a call. Also, the flight mode in the handset lets you listen to your favourite songs even when the phone is switched off during a flight.
The integrated memory in the phone is just 16MB, hence investing in a Memory Stick Duo would be a great option. Its 2-megapixel camera takes pictures in three sizes: 1,632x1, 224, 640x480, and 160x120. The users of can even edit their work with the integrated Photo DJ and Video DJ applications. The connectivity options too are included in abundance, proving the handset's excellence to the entire world.
