Whether an 8 or a 0, such characters in the names of Sony phones refer to the product peculiarity when produced for a foreign market. Or, a number can set apart Sony phones distinguished by features but identical in design. The lowercase letter stands for the market for which the Sony phones models are produced: thus, there will be ‘a’ for the America, ‘c’ for China and ‘i’ for the international market. The i-mode branding is designated by the ‘im’ particle present in the title of the phone.

There are other ways of naming Sony phones, since more recent formats or design follow a three character pattern such as the P1i for instance. The series of the phone is represented by the initial, the number tells the development from previous models while the lowercase letter indicates the market. Code names are also attributed to Sony phones particularly to those that are in the process of development or improvement. Most such names are taken from the female tennis player for which Sony Ericsson is a sponsor. You can find lists with such code names on all sorts of web pages if you are interested in the topic.

We could say that the beauty of Sony Ericsson W850i is not superficial, as it is an overall well built phone. The modern touch comes from the light effect that pulses on the keypad following the music beat. On the inside, the music player is excellent, rendering very quality music and an impeccable stereo sound in the FM radio too. If you buy the promotional phone package, you’ll get an incorporated Mega Bass feature and a stereo headset to match. Music lovers really enjoy this mobile device thanks to its 1GB memory stick Pro Duo, which means that the phone can store around 250 tracks and still work well.

The software incorporated in Sony Ericsson W850i makes the management of the device more than user friendly. The drag and drop operation allows an easy and quick file transfer through an USB cable. The Walkman software also enables the music download directly to the phone at a very high speed. One further noteworthy feature is the TrackID. If you listen to a song on the radio but do not know who plays it, this piece of software helps you track the album and the artist. A really incredible feature!

Sony Ericsson W850i comes with a built in camera that renders very good quality pictures, using both the zoom and the digital flash. The video camera allows one to make 3G video calls or to record. There is no autofocus included in the design, which makes the K800i model superior to Sony Ericsson W850i. Despite this minor flaw, it seems that this Walkman phone will be difficult to match in terms of quality. A less expensive non-3G version of Sony Ericsson W850i is also available for anyone interested in getting a bargain. Consider both variants carefully and see which suits your needs best!

Even to this day, the most frequently sold color of Sony Ericsson T610 remains Aluminum haze. In all phone designs, the silvery keypad is a standard. The phone has an incorporated camera, it can use the WAP for Internet connections, it uses polyphonic ring tones and Java formats. Since the design and the technical features are somehow outdated, this is not a phone that can combine a speaker or built-in hands-free capabilities. In many opinions, Sony Ericsson T610 proves a pretty sophisticated phone despite the more modern alternatives. Besides the design variations between the American and the European models, the internal features are identical.

One major criticism for Sony Ericsson T610 is related to the unexpected turn on of the phone because of the joystick. This could lead not only to premature battery wear but also to some people listening to unwanted conversations. The camera is also pretty slow and the quality of the pictures is reduced. If we are to judge the cell performance by the present day standards, Sony Ericsson T610 is definitely obsolete and mediocre, yet for the time when it was produced, expectations couldn’t have been higher.

Last but not least, Sony Ericsson T610 enables voice commands, and, it comes pretty cheap if we consider the main features and advantages it brings. Moreover, there are no useless features, since each and every available item within the phone system aims at making the usage an enjoyable experience. Therefore, in case you want to buy an older but good phone model, you can definitely go for Sony Ericsson T610 without being disappointed. However, it’s not wise to take any word of advice literally without testing the phone in the first place.

The phone camera has autofocus, a flash and video recording features. 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. The producer indicates a 400-hour functional battery for standby and a 9-hour period for talk-time. Sony Ericsson W800i can be still purchased from many retailers, and at more accessible prices than a year or two ago.

A minor disadvantage of this phone is the fact that it relies on a joystick for memory navigation. Lots of users claim that this is more susceptible to damage and in time functionality problems tend to appear. Sony Ericsson W800i can be also very prone to wearing, scratching and minor breaks in time particularly if it is not treated carefully. 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 making great sales.

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 beyond any doubt that the Chinese design pays tribute to the W800i series. The quality of this fake model is doubtful and Sony Ericsson W800i in its original variant is definitely superior. Should you come across this item while trying to find a suitable phone for you, it is advisable to consider more than just the price tag before getting it. Otherwise, you may waste your money on a poor mobile device that will not last you long enough!

All the phones produced by Sony Ericsson using the Java Platform 8 or A200 Platform include an XMB media manager that has been so far integrated in a very select group of mobile devices.
