CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Chic and slim design; brushed metal finish; improved usability; bundled with 2GB Memory Stick Micro M2; 3.5mm adapter accessory; HSDPA; Bluetooth stereo. 8
out of 10View score
The bad: Proprietary connector port on the left edge; M2 card slot behind battery cover; mediocre camera features.
The bottom line: Design is clearly the focus on the W890i and it's where this Walkman truly shines. At the same time, we can't deny that the W890i is also a solid handset. If you can live with its mediocre camera, this Walkman phone is a keeper.

almost perfect
Jun 17, 2009Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: great design, nice music playback
Cons: no 3.5 mm jack, restarts frequently
Opinion:

Perfect Slim

Pros: Design and its balanced features
Cons: Not all in one phone and hopeless camera function
Opinion:
The phone form and design is pretty slim, firm and light to carry and I use this to surf internet using Opera Mini as well as other online application. With its 3.5G connection, the download speed is much faster than K770i. The Music function is also reasonably good giving me the enjoyable function of listening to music while surfing the net for news and checking ebay.
Sony Ericsson has a distinct segment for their Cybershot, Walkman and smartphone. With this, perhaps it is clearly differentiate the targeted users and at the same time it is also a major setback as most of us prefer all in one solution. Having said so, this particular model has a totally hopeless camera function which takes blur images for your candid shot and lacking of many functions in its camera department (things like auto focus, macro function, flash etc) which perhaps compensated by its strong music function. Anyway, hopefully SE consider of making ... Read more

Pros: Design, Build Quality, Sound Quality (can compete with a stand alone mp3s out there), Tons of cool feats
Cons: tiny screen...though its still very decent. more than decent...but could be slightly bigger ;)
Opinion:
I was really planning on buying the SONY S-series walkman, but I dont like carrying many gadgets.I was amazed that the sound quality produced by this phone is very decent and nice,that it can compete with many mp3 players i know, so instead of carrying my old phone + an mp3 player, i opted for this one, a very capable, nice looking mp3 player phone....U cant go wrong with this one folks, camera is ok, this is no cyber shot of course.
