SonyEricsson - W900 Review Part 2

W900

17th October 2005

As with the W800i, the W900 comes with Sony Ericsson's Disc2phone software and all the music features that have made the W800i such a hit. There are stacks of interesting multimedia features built into the W900, so it should keep you amused for hours if you're that way inclined.

It feels as though we're nitpicking, but this isn't the perfect phone. Unlike recent Nokias and even the W900's sibling, the Sony Ericsson P990, this is not a smartphone, so software expansion is limited. The W900 doesn't have WiFi either, but that's still a rarity. Also, unlike the Sharp 903 and Sharp 902, the W900 doesn't have an optical zoom on the camera. These are all pretty minor things though, and the W900 is definitely a first-class handset.

One mystery though - the previous Walkman handsets have all been based on another phone in the Sony Ericsson range, the W800 is based on the K750, and the W550 and W600 phones are based on the S600. Presumably then, there's a Sony Ericsson S900 in the pipeline too.

Sony Ericsson indicate that the W900 should be in the shops just in time from Christmas, in the W900i configuration (for Europe and the rest of the world). The release dates for the Chinese W900c version are not yet known.
