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. View 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.

Good phone, nice phone and nice features
Dec 1, 2009Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Slim and lightweight.
Cons: Speakers terrible soft. Impossible to hear the ringtone when phone is in handbag.
Opinion:
I like all features of this phone, apart from the fact that the speakers are far too soft. My previous phone K810i is far better in that respect and I am, indeed, contemplating to put my phone on the shelve and go back to my K810i, which is superior in use.

Pros: Slim, lightweight
Cons: Frequently restarts, poor camera quality
Opinion:
For use as a phone, the w890i performs all the basic functions that I need (calling, answering, alarms). Beyond that, the performance is disappointing; below average even. The phone restarts itself frequently; not only that, the restarts can be consecutive up to 3-4 times which is highly annoying. Some restarts are also accompanied by the message that the phone cannot detect my SIM card. This is the most frustrating aspect of the phone.
I was previously a Cybershot model user (I used my beloved k800i for more than 2 years) and so the cam quality of the w890i was a nasty shock. Pictures are often blurry and there is considerable lag. There is no flash and no macro function. The latter I missed very much as I enjoy taking very detailed close-ups. And you can forget about shooting at night. Even though there is a night mode for the camera, you need to either have a tripod or a ... Read more
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:
this phone is great with great music and lots of features, but lacks a 3.5 mm jack for convenience, and often restarts itself. hope SE puts a 3.5 mm into their later models.
