Sony Ericsson W200i Review - Walkman Series

The looks of the Sony Ericsson W200i is very elegant and attractive enough for you to try and use. To some extent it is similar to the looks of Nokia 2600 classic. The characters you see in the walkman phone series can also be seen on the Sony Ericsson W200i. On the folder at the bottom, there is a button in the standard alphanumeric keys which has a very proper and standard size. Users who are familiar with the Sony Ericsson mobile phone keypad will not feel more difficult to do typing, whether to dial the phone number, or to write message.

For display, this phone offers the UBC (Ultra Bright Color) to a 1.8 inches display, 65,536 colors resolution. And the 128x160 pixels display is far from being said to be sharp - this is not surprising on Sony Ericsson phones. The resolution of images produced is approximately 128 x 160 pixels. Given the 1.8 inches screen the results from the phone do not seem bright and less clear. As to the view interface, Sony Ericsson is regarded stable.

Like the Nokia 2600 classic series, Sony Ericsson W200i also offers email as alternative to SMS when sending messages. However, GPS is the only way to support facilities and access data network. The lack of Bluetooth technology is a shame these days.

This phone uses a camera that has VGA resolution, and resolution of the resulting picture can be enlarged 1280 x 960 pixels or at 1:23 with Mpix. For video applications, the resolution that can be used to store is approximately 176 x 144 pixels with the use of movie clips 3gp format. The phone also offers FM Radio.

Meanwhile, in terms of the memory capacity for affairs, Sony Ericsson W200i can be said to be very basic. Along with internal memory of 27 MB, the Sony Ericsson W200i also has provided a slot for memory cards with the type of Memory Stick Micro.

To use the resources on this phone, Sony Ericsson may be said to be firm. It claims to be able to stand by for 300 hours. The talk time is up to 7 hours in theory. In the tests the performance is good - it ran more than 4 days before the second charge.

To summarize, if you are not picky about the only 2MP camera and the absence of Bluetooth technology in the Sony Ericsson W200i, it is really a good basic phone with a Walkman brand as a bonus.
