Sony Ericsson W850i Mobile Phone

My Sister used a W800i prior to this, and was disappointed with the W850i's image quality due to the lack of auto focus. But then again, music is what she is after and in this department, the W850i absolutely performs exceedingly well. The sound is great, the Walkman 2.0 is excpetionally cool (especially with album art) and the functionalities of the phone are truly superb. Once again, Sony Ericsson has proven that it is the company to beat when it comes to phones that combine exquisite design and fantastic functionality.

good all round phone with everything i need on it, however prefered my w910i. slightly too chunky for my liking.

my daughter likes the colr, ring tones,i think every thing about this fone.As she is happy me happy 2.very good seller and no probs A++++++

My normal mp3 player and phone stopped working at about the same time - so I thought I'd kill 2 birds with one stone and get the w850i.

The music player is great, the phone is really easy to use.

Looks great, works great

the slide snaps in to place and stays tight.

The memory card that fits the phone did not fit in my laptop so i had to put my music on through the infra red feature. You can also tranfer music through bluetooth or with a data cable if you have one.

I downloaded loads of free themes for the phone to change the look (wallpaper, buttons etc)

The phone is really easy and comes with some really good games.

There are loads of free games for the w850i online, just download them to your computer and transfer them over.

All in all I'd give the phone an 9/10

I like the fact that it is a Sony Ericcson. Excellent makers of mobile phones. Plenty of addons to the phone. MP3 Player; Internet access; Web browser; Camera for pictures or movies; Nice and chunky with plenty of weight.

Would prefer a raised 'OK' button. With the select button being indented there is a tendancy to select the L R U D buttons instead, and dirt etc gets into the groove around the button.

It is a good phone, and has very good sound when playing music, that's what the phone's designed for. on the other hand it has a 2 megapixel camera that doesn't have the quality I expected. the display's quality is as good as a 176 by 220 display but not as a 320 by 240.

It's a erfect phone if you only want it for music but as a multimedia phone it may be better.

ok well i had the w810i first (but wish id kept it ) found that much better , i do like the w850i but dont find it very exciting really theres just not much to it dont particularly like the slide bit bit of a pain ,,,but saying that i loveee the music player, good camera dont know why anyone moaned about that really same as the w810i i thought ... also its a bit bulky prefer the w810i for fitting nicely in the hand apart from that not much diff between the 2 xx

i can't really rate how good or functional the phone is, it was a present for my brother but his reply was " i love it"!

everything about the phone because the price was good and i have been looking for it for a while dont dislike anything

My partner loved her black contract w850i! but always wanted the white one and when her year was up gave her daughter the phone - She looked on ebay for the best she could afford and found one that was in 'good condition' she paid straight away(no waiting for payment from her she thought) and waited with anxious breath hoping that her phone would not be the one lost in the post - and thankfully it did arrive....But....sadly their is a chalky blotch in the bottom left corner and the back had been glued on - there is also a crack running throu the menu button.. He failed to mention that in his discription and because she put it in her feed back he has never given me feed back!
But hey she loves her phone and treats it kindly keeps it in a case so as not to scratch up the screen and has a pretty pink sticky Butterfly holding the battery cover on so it does not fall off and get lost..aah.

The sender sent me a faulty phone and requested a return with no response from the sender.Not happy... watch out e-bayers

This dummy phone was perfect for being an identical match to my real phone, thank you, prehaps now my daughter will leave mine alone, thinking that this dummy phone is the real thing, it works so far, lets just hope that it say's that way!!!!!!!

took over 1 week to arrive problems
with it when it arrived but apart from that ok.i do like the phone obviously these problems ruined so i have sold it. i would deal with the seller again but i would not buy another phone off him.

The phone was purchased to replace an identical one that i dropped from up a ladder sadley it did not bounce but did still receive calls making calls was hit & miss as the screen did not survive it is a very reliable phone & am more than happy with it

The phone arrived in perfect condition ^_^ Fully working and like new.I'm delighted with this purchase.

I would highly recommend this seller to anyone.

Excellent Ebayer. Would trade with them anytime. Receommend to any one - Quick to respond to emails and messages and always helpful. Thanks

Easy to use, nice colour on t mobile not much else to say its just a phone and cheap in good condition

This Phone is in excellent condition, it was sent promptly, well-packaged, but unfortunately my son has claimed it as he feels the walkman features would be wasted on me! the sounds are excellent quality & clear.I'll be searching for another phone now then!!

Very nice phone, just taking me a little while to get the texting together! Of course, my previous phone is quite a few years old.

I decided to get myself a new phone but the choice of phones nowadays is so huge it is hard to work out which phone is best suited to your own style, this is why i chose a sony ericsson. sony as a make on the whole are quite durable and are a good brand.I had a lg and it was quite small on the button area and a bit clumsy but the sony is a bit more manageable.I would not advise you buy this phone if you have huge hands though as it might be a bit troublesome!! navigational wise its lovely to set up to whatever you desire and as on all sony ericsson phones it has an excellent walkman.I would definately rate this phone highly but then i own one...its up to you to decide....

very pleased with the fone.good deal.cheers! :)

All the W... series are made for music e.g. w850i, w810i, w580i.
All the K... series are made for camera quality e.g. k800i, k750i.

I would recommend the w850i to people who love music and are not bothered about the camera quality as most w series come with 2 megapixels.

I would recommend the K800i to people who love taking pictures/photography as it comes with 3.2 megapixel camera. It also comes with a built in flash whereas the w series comes with LED lights.

i bought this phone for my work mate. he wanted one after he saw how robust and easy to use he saw mine was. Sony Ericcson w850 is a good general purpose phone with the added bonus of bein a walkman. it is a really good mobile i can recommend it!

brought this because of the 2g card with it. and my phone had broke an this is the same phone so i can swap parts when needs be.
