CNET Asia Review

Excellent

8.7

View score

The good: Brilliant design; GPS navigation; great keypad; accelerometer; 3D game support; decent camera; HSDPA data access; fun to use; sound quality; great battery life.

The bad: No camera flash; proprietary headphone socket; no Wi-Fi; average video support.

The bottom line: The Sony Ericsson W760i is the best Walkman phone to date with so many features it rivals non-music phones like the N95. The lack of a standard headphone socket is its biggest flaw, but other than that, it's going down as one of our all-time favourite Sony Ericsson phones--and not just in the music phone category.

Good looks,bad quality



Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Great Design,well spaced out keypads,great music quality
Cons: No 3.5mm jack,no autofocus,terrible video playback,many parts of the phone gets its colour scratched out,not very sturdy design as some parts tend to be a tad loose
Opinion:
It was quite a good phone at first,with its sleek design and all,i loved it.but just barely after 1 year of using it(i bought it in august '08)i had to send it in for servicing 5 times!2 times because the buttons below the screen couldnt work at all,3 times because the headphone jack couldnt work.

Many parts of the phone will lose its shine and colour,like the ring around the up,down,left,right buttons,the long raised strip right below the screen and at the back,the bright skin surrounding the camera(with all the wavy lines)can be easily scratched out,and the silver colours around the luminous walkman logo behind the phone will also wear out over time.my friend's phone's "sony ericsson" words were scratched out too.

oh and the walkman logo in the front below the buttons will come out as its only a sticker.6.5/10

 

It sucks sooo much!

Pros: Lots of memory

Opinion:
i had had the phone for 3 months when the shortcut button broke. it froze constantly, stopped playing my music, and hung up when i was on the phone! the day before we took it for repair the screen smashed! they fixed the button under insurance, but the screen was going to cost LoTs more! i had been puttin up with a replacement phone(ultra brick!) and i got my phone back 2weeks later. the screen was still smashed but i put up with it. 3 weeks after getting it back, the butto boke again. the next day the screen smashed comptetely and 5 buttons dont work!!!
