CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Bang & Olufsen audio hardware; S60 platform; funky music player interface; HSDPA; bundled 1GB microSD card. 8.6
out of 10View score
The bad: Touch wheel is a bit tricky to use; no Wi-Fi; not the sexiest handset around.
The bottom line: If Samsung keep producing music phones like the i450, with Bang & Olufsen audio hardware, then Sony Ericsson's dominance of music-focused mobiles may come to an abrupt halt.

mp3 player & phone in 1, great built in speakers, imaging is bad and lacks wi-fi
Nov 26, 2008Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 3.5mm headphone jack, great sound specially when used with sennheiser earphones
Cons: sensitive slider, camera is a crap
Opinion:
over-all the I-450 gives u a thumbs up because its the only phone with built in speakers that gives u a bang! another thing is that it has expandable memory up to 4gb so its not bad for music storage.the sound quality is also very good and for a very best result, use a sennheiser earphones in its 3.5mm headphone jack! party! S60 interface is another good thing about I-450, its very user friendly. The DOWNSIDE? camera is full of shit. oh well its a music phone. and most of all No w-fi connectivity..

Pros: Solid build, simple menus, great sounds and display
Cons: No built-in games, which I really don't mind
Opinion:
The phone was built by Samsung, hence has it patented very crisp and clear LCD... bundled with Symbian 60 OS which is Nokia's user-friendly platform for mobile phones. So what more can one ask for - a phone with Samsung's build quality yet has Nokia's easy-to-use interface?
Packaged as a music phone, it functions much like the N95 with slide up and slide down option, with slide up to enable music functionalities. Sound quality from built-in speakers is awesome, much better than my P1i which is about 300 US dollars more expensive at launch. Supports microSD, in a hot swappable manner (slide the card in or out via the phone's card slot on the side of the unit, no need to remove batteries or back cover); my unit came with a 1GB bundle. Texting and calling is a breeze, ringtones and alert tones are very loud at maximum volume, which in the past has been ... Read more
It uses S60 without WiFi.
Aug 2, 2008Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: S60, NaviWheel, 3.5mm jack
Cons: No wifi, soft music quality
Opinion:
I was caught in between W910i and i450. In the end, I choes this as i heard from my friends, that sony ericsson phones needed servicing often and I m lazy to go down to repair it. Also, it got no flash for camera.
