Reviewer: Tom - UK
Date: 6th Aug 2010
I had this phone for years & it survived constant dropping with next to no marks afterwards. I would have loved to continue using the little guy but I got a new phone because I needed a one with Bluetooth & a better camera.
Reviewer: Colin - London, UK
Date: 4th May 2010
I had one of these for a shade over two years & was well pleased with what it could do. It's a cheap phone that makes calls, takes photo's, plays music & even has a little bit of Internet.
What more do you want for your money!
I was sad to see this little fella go, but it wouldn't charge anymore.
Please DO NOT replace it with a W205 worse phone ever & I had one for 2 days & it went back to the shop.
Reviewer: Ashish - Mumbai, India
Date: 27th Jan 2010
Poor phone I bought this 2 years back & was replaced before a year for problem with joystick, it useless. After lot of fight they replaced it with new one as after repair it would just hang off all the time. & what after replacing after another 6 months this new phone also has the same joystick problem. I will not recommend this phone pathetic, useless garbage phone. Plus very poor service from the service station.
PLEASE NEVER BUY THIS PHONE, SOME OF MY FRIENDS ALSO HAVE THIS & THEY ARE ALSO GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM. ONCE JOYSTICK IS GONE THEN THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. WASTE OF MONEY.
Reviewer: Teri - UK
Date: 29th Sep 2009
I've had this phone for 2 years & I must say. I must have dropped it about 50 times & there is only 1 mark on it! THERE IS NO Bluetooth! Why!? I send a lot of pictures to my friends & it means I have to use my credit & send them. The joystick is just foolishness, my sister accidentally deleted one of my games & now I only have one. The radio & music player is OK but the camera isn't I have to take small pictures so I don't use a lot of memory. & I HAVE A MEMORY STICK! I got the Samsung Tocco Lite & that is pretty good (you can see my review on that page).
All in all I got so attached to that phone but I love my new one!
Reviewer: Yilmaz - England, UK
Date: 19th Aug 2009
Well the W200i I must say I hate it, well first of all there is no Bluetooth, the design is ugly, it's like a alien, well I hate it. I gave it away I even sold it on eBay well if you're reading this & you're planning to get this phone, well my advice is to get the N97, N96, N95 or even if you want a cheap phone get a Nokia 6120 classic.
Reviewer: Melanie - US
Date: 14th Jul 2009
It is great & all, but my camera takes really rubbish pictures & I hate that. As far as the radio & song players goes, I love it. NO Bluetooth? I can live on that. I think for the time being, it's a cool & usable phone.
Reviewer: David Dinsmore - UK
Date: 24th Jun 2009
Without doubt, the worst phone I've ever had. The joystick is a nightmare, this phone will give you a nervous breakdown. The only thing it's got going for it, is it is almost smash proof, I've tried often enough. Got it as a present & I guarantee I'll never buy another Sony Ericsson anything as long as I live.
Reviewer: John - London, UK
Date: 12th May 2009
There's no Bluetooth that's not a good phone its small screen infra-red the camera is 0.3 megapixel I don't like it I wouldn't buy it or recommend it to anyone.
Reviewer: Mak - Karachi, Pakistan
Date: 4th Mar 2009
It is the best phone & memorable phone of my life. It is very special to me.
Reviewer: Jack - America, US
Date: 22nd Feb 2009
I think the best is the music & I mean only the music by the way those of you that say it falls on the floor & still works no way you're joking. I dropped on the floor it's broken now.
Reviewer: Suhas Dan - Suri, India
Date: 16th Feb 2009
The phone is very very good. All those who are saying this that the camera is poor & there is no Bluetooth, I want to say at that price you cannot expect more. The sound quality is excellent.
But my phone is having a problem. When I insert a 1GB M2 card sometimes the phone cannot detect it & then I have to reinsert the card & after sometime the same is happening. Anyone can tell me if this is a problem of my phone or the memory card? Otherwise it is a great phone. Highly recommended.
Reviewer: John Smith - Australia
Date: 1st Feb 2009
Awesome phone. The way that this phone is set out is like no other. Sony Ericsson have made it very easy to do things.
Good Walkman feature also. Very solid, I have dropped mine many times & splashed some water on it by accident & it still works perfectly fine.
For its price, I think it is great.
Reviewer: Joe - Philippines
Date: 9th Jan 2009
I've had this phone for more than a year now. For the price, I most definitely recommend it. Excellent battery & excellent music. Picture quality is poor & the colour of the screen is too washed out & ugly. But it's really really durable. I think I've dropped this phone more than 40 times. Some from like 4 feet high & bounces off. It's still good. One time even the case was disassembled & the battery fell off yet there was no damage incurred!
Reviewer: Raj - Kolkata, India
Date: 8th Jan 2009
It's a nice phone & so stylish. Its sound of speaker &headphone is very good. It is low resolution camera phone. Its picture quality is good.
Reviewer: Fred - Gillingham, UK
Date: 7th Jan 2009
Very good phone, love the mega bass feature! The only downside is the camera but as it is a music phone & not a camera phone this is pretty predictable. The battery lasts for a good amount of time allowing you to listen to your favourite music! This is a must have phone ideal for young people!
Reviewer: Anna Jones - UK
Date: 26th Dec 2008
I bought this a month ago as I needed a replacement phone urgently & it was half price. The camera is pretty good but I absolutely hate the joystick & find it difficult to operate. I am not keeping it.
Reviewer: Olivia - Singapore
Date: 22nd Dec 2008
I've had this phone for a year & it has been great! I love showing it off & letting the charms dangle from the top & making them flounce & flow. I don't really like the camera, which is full of little squares when you take photos & the lack of Bluetooth is annoying when my friends get in on videos & tunes & I can't.
The joystick doesn't annoy me I find it good to wind it around in a circle & play (he he), I would recommend this phone for 1 year plus usage. It's a great phone that has given me lots of joy. It has a lot of room for charms, a lot of room for stickers & the buttons are great to use.
Reviewer: Victoris - Dublin, Ireland
Date: 21st Dec 2008
I have this phone & it's pretty good, but not enough for me. I hate the design. It's horrible. The phone is very fat. I hate it.
Reviewer: Emma - UK
Date: 2nd Dec 2008
Great, it does everything I want it to.
Reviewer: Am - UK
Date: 9th Nov 2008
I've had it for about 8 months & it's a solid little phone with good features. Only problem is that if you use a memory card over 512MB it gets all confused & deletes your message occasionally. Oh & no Bluetooth, but it's not that much of a problem really. Nice little phone.
Reviewer: Vishal - Varanasi, India
Date: 4th Nov 2008
Nice phone accept no Bluetooth.
Reviewer: Shadeyadey - UK
Date: 1st Nov 2008
Bought this as a second phone & it's great for the price, a bargain for the white & Orange phone on Vodafone at £24.99, just a shame no Bluetooth otherwise a cracking little phone.
Reviewer: Sram - UK
Date: 24th Oct 2008
Good Points, Cheap, reliable & light weight.
Bad Points, Camera rubbish, No Bluetooth, can't see anything on the screen during daylight.
Reviewer: Yannick - Belgium
Date: 22nd Sep 2008
I have this phone (nine months) & I have also problems with the phone, & the battery is not so good. The speakers of the phone are good but I love music with a beat & then the speakers are not so good, it can not play the bass.
Reviewer: Iain Stewart - Cambridge, UK
Date: 22nd Sep 2008
This phone was good at the start but I have had for about a year know & I hate it with a passion I have dropped it about 3 or 4 times & it died on me the music quality is good but were you put the memory card in is not because it always falls out easily. I bought it for the music & camera & to be honest I wish I hadn't the camera was poor the music was good but had no Bluetooth I warn anyone to think twice before getting one of these useless rubbish phones.
Reviewer: Antonia - Dublin, Ireland
Date: 17th Sep 2008
I got this phone last year & I think it's such a great phone!
The camera is good, it has an MP3 & a radio! No Bluetooth BUT it has infra-red & USB connection cable, so it's not hard to get songs on the phone.
The earphones are so cool & I recommend the blue & white design (very pretty! ) LOL.
It has face warp & stuff, it comes with a memory stick. Its easy to use & I have had it for a year & I am still not bored of it. LOVE IT!
Reviewer: Mat - UK
Date: 16th Sep 2008
Easy to use. There could be more functions, & the camera is a bit low on pixels. But otherwise a good looking phone which has lasted many drops over the past 8 months.
Reviewer: Ronnie - New Delhi, India
Date: 11th Sep 2008
Now I understand the meaning of the W in Walkman series, it means Wow series. Excellent phone & affordable price.
Just one minus point & that is there is no Bluetooth. Else than that each & everything a Mobile owner wants from a mobile is there!
& I don't think so that I need to explain about the sound quality of the HEADPHONES with MEGA BASS creates absolute pleasure to your ears.
Easy to use! Full marks for the usability & slim & compact design (will you believe it? It just weighs 3 ounces (about 80 grams).
Just for the absence of Bluetooth I have given 80 to its features! But other than this, the phone with a 0.3 megapixel VGA camera with Excellent quality Videos & Pictures with 4x zoom & the sound device, sleek design, ROCK!
Reviewer: S Vignesh Kumar - Sivakasi , India

IT'S VERY EASY TO OPERATE. GOOD PHONE.
Reviewer: Dewmini Gamlath - Colombo, Sri Lanka
Date: 26th Aug 2008
Really nice phone, good music & all that, but what I felt was that if just Bluetooth was there, it would have been marvellous & unmatchable for the price. Still a pretty good choice.
Reviewer: Kyo - Pune, India
Date: 17th Aug 2008
It is very N-Series rocks.
Reviewer: Akash Agarwal - Gopeshwar, India
Date: 15th Aug 2008
Rubbish phone. I don't like anything about it.
Reviewer: Dr Nilanjan Dastidar - Kolkata, India
Date: 7th Aug 2008
In the price bracket, it is a great phone. Sony Ericsson could have added Bluetooth which is in Samsung E250. Camera is OK, FM is wonderful, Walkman is excellent. But the most important is bundled software & data cable (is Nokia noting), not to mention the excellent headphone. I am using it for more than 1 year & never ever been hanged! Compact design, stable OS & good features. Reception is good, & about the battery, after using 1 year, now it stays for more than 3 days after full charging (remaining battery charge can be seen in % in the phone which is unique in Sony Ericsson).
In conclusion, if your budget is about INR 4000 to 4500, go for this one provided you accept no Bluetooth facility.
Reviewer: Ryan - Bodmin, UK
Date: 5th Aug 2008
I think it is OK by saying that it looks great but when I found how to get it right then I thought I got a deal then when I saw no Bluetooth that is the down side of it.
Reviewer: John - US
Date: 2nd Aug 2008
Very good phone for its price. Excellent battery life & great music listening. I've dropped my phone a couple of times but works like nothing happened.
Wish it had a better camera but for the price I think it does a decent job. Good pictures in daylight with night vision on.
5% off because it doesn't come with Bluetooth but the data cable solves that as well. Less headaches on the optimistic side :).
Buy this phone. It's worth the money.
Reviewer: Adz - UK
Date: 1st Aug 2008
Good phone for only thirty quid, that coupled with the Orange SIM is pretty good, Bluetooth lets it down but then again I think about how much I actually use Bluetooth.
Reviewer: James H - Bristol, UK
Date: 1st Aug 2008
This is a brilliant first phone. Got it on Orange, it is my first phone & I highly recommend it. The sound quality is epic.
Reviewer: Jack - UK
Date: 28th Jul 2008
I got if for 40 quid it's a great design, wish it had Bluetooth though & well good for music, pictures quite bad but I am not a mad picture person. It's cheapish now so I recommend you buy it. If you like taking good quality pictures this isn't the phone for you. Hope this helps someone x.
Reviewer: Callum Greig - Peterlee, UK
Date: 28th Jul 2008
I bought a W200i a few weeks ago & it's a nice phone it has some really good features such as the Walkman music player, FM Radio & Music DJ. It's a very easy phone to use & is very loud at playing music. It's also a great music player.
The M2 card that comes with the phone is a 128MB unit which can store about 30 to 35 songs it supports loads of music files MP3, MP4, ACC, AMR, IMY, MIDI & a lot of picture files.
The only downside's is that the VGA camera is average & it does not have Bluetooth. But other than them downsides it's a very good phone.
Reviewer: Richard - Wolverhampton, UK
Date: 27th Jul 2008
This is a very good little phone for the price you can pick one up for. I have had mine now for about 8 months & so far nothing has gone wrong with it. Its very user friendly & the features it comes with are top class, the same features you would find on the top of the range phones. It could do with Bluetooth but apart from that I can't fault it, very good phone to have. Perfect for your childs first mobile.
Reviewer: Matas - Silale, Lithuania

Reviewer: Kezzar - Wakefield, UK
Date: 13th Jul 2008
Brilliant phone music is great infra-red is good.
No Bluetooth who cares everybody in the ideal world now should have access to a computer to put on to it.
So on the whole it's a great phone, (39.99) I bought it for.
Reviewer: Dan Bartholemew - Manchester, UK
Date: 12th Jul 2008
Hi, I got this phone mainly for music as it has a Walkman function & in this respect, the phone is very good. It plays MP3's with a slightly better sound quality than my, albeit cheap, MP3 player. The phone is supplied with a 128MB memory card (expandable), headphones, USB cable, driver disk & Sony are to be applauded for this as other manufacturers only supply the headphones.
The phone itself is not a design classic & feels aged to me. You may not want to show it off to all your friends. However, it seems quite solid & sturdy with nice rounded number keys. The only average point is the Select & Info keys are bevelled outwards making it trickier to navigate when it would seem easier to have these keys rounded. Yes, there is a small joystick which seems OK & you can select menus etc. With this anyway.
The screen & menus are nothing special & the phone has many now standard functions such as a camera & video. The camera seems poorer than the Nokia 2760 I have tried. It has no Bluetooth which I knew about. This may sway you away from this phone.
So, the phone is functional if not special & has an ageing design, but the music is very good. If this is what you require along with a decent cheap phone then this could be a good bet.
Reviewer: Dewald - South Africa
Date: 25th Jun 2008
Seem to have no problem with the phone. As far as I can see the biggest complaint is that the phone does not have Bluetooth, if you wanted this feature why did you get this phone. Reading the label goes a long way in avoiding disappointment!
Reviewer: Alice Rooney - Liverpool, UK
Date: 15th Jun 2008
Its rubbish because I got it, it's the worst phone in the world.
Reviewer: Patricia - UK
Date: 14th Jun 2008
All you Guys who wrote reviews, don't think you've had your W200i for long, I've had it since Oct 2007, & though it's a cool phone to have for that lower budget, be warned, the joystick crashes after a while, the phone tends to hang like a computer does sometimes & sometimes it just goes off without warning (seldom, but it has happened). So if you have it, enjoy it while it lasts.

It's good. Its camera isn't so bad, there's expandable memory, I like how you can change the case, it's pretty good looking & I can play java games on it. What I don't like is there's no Bluetooth & there's a little, sort of, joystick instead of a keypad which is hard to use & makes me press the wrong buttons.
Overall, it's nice.

I brought this phone purely because it was cheap & cheerful & was pleasantly surprised how good it was after I downloaded most of the Internet onto it, it now feels top of the range & don't know how anyone can complain & call it rubbish, for the price it is excellent value for money.

Just got one (for £30) & I think it's brilliant. Great value & awesome sound. Good camera & easy to use. The only bad thing I have found so far is the fact it has no Bluetooth. Other than that I would recommend it for someone on a budget who wants a great phone for a very small price. I would recommend at Woolworths (I think) they are on half price.

It is good but just lacking in camera & Bluetooth, out of a scale of 10, I would say 7.5, it is for music lovers like me, love it.
Reviewer: John - Indonesia

Plus.
- Easy to use.
- Complete feature.
- Great sound (thanks to Sony Walkman technology).
Minus.
- No Bluetooth (but reasonable with the price).
- In MegaBass mode, middle tone is low, not suitable with classic or jazz music.
- Noflash, camera only VGA.
- External memory use memory stick, more expensive than micro SD.
Conclusion, great budget phone

Well, I got this phone for £65 & it's a waste of money if you ask me. No Bluetooth, rubbish camera that's not even useable come on the pictures are so blurred! Okay the Walkman is good but what's the point of having one when you can't even fit a decent amount of songs on it. Who wants to waste time constantly changing what music is on their phone when they should be able to fit it all on.
I have had this phone for a few months now & already there's problems with it freezing & doing stuff slowly it's a nightmare way too time consuming to use & a waste of money!

Bought this handset on O2 payg as a stop gap between contracts. Thankfully it's long gone after 2 months of use. The only redeeming feature on this phone is the Walkman. I found the joystick annoyingly unresponsive & reluctant to 'click' in the direction you want. Also the battery life considering the severe lack of modern features is appalling, for example a normal day at work using wap for about an hour & texting throughout practically kills the phone. It feels really unsubstantial & empty (which it more than likely is inside). I have liked all the Sony Ericsson handsets I've had over the years, but this one was very disappointing. It is cheap but then it doesn't have anywhere near enough modern features to warrant paying over 30 quid for it. So all in all a good phone for a young child, or someone who uses a mobile as an emergency item. But for anyone who likes to utilise various features on the move will be left disappointed.

I just bought this phone for $188 (sgd) which is quite costly I got the white one (the black ones are sold out) I find it ugly & look very plastic just like a toy phone the black ones looks nicer the lack of Bluetooth is really very bad the camera is also bad the only good thing about this phone is the Walkman function.

I got this phone yesterday in Woolworths. I got the pink limited edition one, think it's only available on Orange.
For £29.99 I think I got a bargain. I only really need a phone to text & make the occasional call. My last Sony Ericsson cost me £20 2 & a half years ago & still works perfectly, I just wanted a change.
Don't buy this phone if you're a gadget head & want a fancy camera/Bluetooth/WAP but nevertheless it's a great phone!
I would recommend it to my friends.

Just got this phone today & am more than pleased. Got some mini speakers included with it as well which are great. For 35 quid I am more than happy, I was expecting to only get a very basic phone for this price, so to have the music capability of this phone is a total bonus to me. I like the way it looks, & yes there are a few things that could be better, but being a 34 year old I have yet to discover the joys of Bluetooth (don't knows why I would need it) & I have two perfectly good digital cameras anyway. I am fed up of buying phones that do 'this' & 'that', paying the earth for them, never using the fancy functions & wasting my money.
100% for all aspects because for the price this phone is very good value.

Reviewer: Martin - UK

This is an excellent mobile phone that has a brilliant layout & can be transported very easily due to its light weight. At 30 quid from Argos, it was a great deal. The best feature about this is probably the great quality of sound from the Walkman music player & easy to use.
There are 3 main features that lets this product down.
- 0.3 megapixel camera, no light for taking photos at night & no auto focus either.
- No Bluetooth, it's a pity as the infared port is awkward to use.
- No more for your phone that includes downloading songs & not a proper Internet browsing system.

I bought this phone recently for £45 which included £10 airtime with Orange. I wanted a model that was smart, easy to put a few mp3s on to set as ring tones & generally user friendly. I wasn't disappointed & was up & running in a few minutes without reading the manual, it is that easy to use. The headphones & 128 memory card packaged with the phone are a nice touch & you can be listening to the radio or a few favourite tracks in seconds of switching on the phone. If I lose or damage this phone, whoopee doo, it won't break my heart or bank balance. In fact I'll buy the same phone again. Try out all the features on this value for money phone.

I bought this phone a few weeks ago on Asda mobile which is a very good tariff. The phone is a nice size & build quality appears to be good. It has a 128MB micro SD card included which is great. However I thought that I could save my texts onto this card but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. Saving the texts as templates you have a maximum of 20 which is no good, the sim card can only save a handful. If anyone can tell me how to do this I would be grateful, the Sony website is no help at all. It would have been a good idea if the phone wasn't disabled when listening to the Walkman, when listening to the radio calls can still get through. The joystick thing is OK but sometimes you can press the button accidentally whilst nudging the stick from side to side but this is a minor problem. All in all though I like this phone.

Hi People, got this phone for one month now & I must say this phone is the Bomb. The speaker quality is great as is characteristic of Sony Ericsson's, the headphones provide a very deep bass sound & also clear reception for the radio stations. Battery life is OK, multitasking excellent, no hanging. Plus the phone can play video files in 3GP format. Internet browsing is OK only that the settings are a bit complicated than for other phones.
On the other hand the camera quality is nothing to write home about, no Bluetooth & the headset connecting port is the same one used as the charger port therefore no FM radio playing all night long for those of us who like leaving the FM radio on through the loud speaker all night.
Not a bad phone for 9, 000 KShs. Finally, if you are looking for a music phone, & on a tight budget, I'd recommend that you highly consider this phone. Adios!

A nice enough looking handset but letdown by a slightly flimsy feel but incidentally no worse than more pricy Sony Ericsson phones. I have an old T2610 & that feels bombproof compared to this & the K550 which a friend owns.
Pretty low quality camera, no Bluetooth & an average screen are low points but the interface is nice & easy to use, music player is big plus & the bundled headphones are surprisingly good. I just need a phone for basic communications & the Walkman feature is nice to have on the commute to work so this does the job.

I bought handset through Orange & would not recommend buying this phone through this particular operator, the display & icons were very poor the screen being always Orange & the icons always grey & blurred, with no other colours to change it to. I have had nightmare in trying to obtain a refund from Orange even though it seems the setting were incorrect & couldn't be changed. I also found the WAP to be fairly inaccessible & being told it was unavailable. The overall size of the phone is fairly bulky & would not necessarily associate this phone with Sony Ericsson. Overall I think this handset seemed lower quality than expected.

The Sony Ericsson W200i is a lovely & stylish phone. It has a Walkman media player & VGA Camera. It is easy & simple to use. It has got a really bright & colourful screen. The phone is small & easy to carry everywhere. But it would have been better if Sony Ericsson thought of adding Bluetooth & maybe infra-red so it would be easier to get songs from your friend's phones instead on going on to the Internet & trying to download songs & using your USB cable. But overall it is a lovely phone to have.

The Sony Ericsson W200i phone has most of the modern functions you would need in a mobile phone, but it's not what the users & reviewers need, they seem to be commenting more on what they want. This particular model of phone has all the basics, a basic camera, video, MP3 & Walkman, infra-red to more recent models, it does lack several features that would make the phone more ideal for users.
In conclusion, I personally feel that the Sony Ericsson W200i is a generally good phone, but several aspects, like the clarity of the photos, could be enhanced.

Now a lot of people will blast this mobile due to the lack of features such as Bluetooth & megapixel camera but you get what you pay for. I bought this mobile from Tesco for £54 on Vodafone which included a £20 top up. I knew it only had infa red but the Walkman feature on this phone makes up for it. The battery life differs on what features you use on the phone. If you are making calls & text then you have more battery life, than if you use the Walkman. You can still get 3 hours plus on music I would say on a full charge. I have had this mobile for two months now & I am happy. Out of ten I would give it a 7 but saying that you will have to use it yourself to make your own decision on what rating you would give. Overall, another good Walkman mobile & the W200i is the cheapest on the market.

The W200i is a brilliant phone as it is easy to find your way around it & it has some nice features, however one of the features it does lack is Bluetooth, but I can't really complain because of how cheap the phone is (£50). The camera isn't very good but I am not really bothered about that either as I don't take many photos with my phone. The design is nice, it's small but not too small & the colour I chose (black) is nice although you can see finger marks easily. One thing that does annoy me about the design is that it's not a rectangular phone, the top & bottom are slanted a little, if you were to stand it up it'd fall straight down. If you look at pictures you'll see what I mean. I think this is an excellent phone as long as you don't care about Bluetooth & a very good camera. It looks nice, has some nice features & is cheap. What more can you ask for?

Camera may not be fantastic, but my old phone didn't have one at all & I have a very good digital camera anyway. Radio & music player is a bonus, since I never had an MP3 player before & the sound quality is great. I think it also makes & receives calls, but I haven't even got to that yet, still playing with the other features!

I love this phone everything. I just love all of Sony Ericsson phones. The camera is great. Good job, keep it up Sony Ericsson.

This phone is quite poor. The camera is rubbish! No Bluetooth. Just a poor phone really!

The W200i is a nice phone. If you really want a Walkman phone & you are on a budget. This might be a good one. At about £60 it's a very good deal, but it lacks when it comes to features. No Bluetooth, OK camera etc. But for the price, it is pretty awesome. Again, if you are on a budget. Go for it. But look into other Walkman phones for better features.

Great phone, shame there is no Bluetooth, hence only 95% for features.

I think this has to be one of the best phones I've ever had! I used to have the k500i, that was pretty good but it was too old. Now I have this & it's fantastic. Best phone ever. Everyone should buy it!

I have just ordered this phone & it looks bute, sounds great & the only downfall is the camera & Bluetooth but who needs Bluetooth when you can plug it in the PC & put full songs on it I can't WAIT TILL MONDAY.

I haven't had this phone long & under a week it has already broke. It was OK while it lasted but I have got a bit annoyed over it breaking. But besides that it's OK good design mine was Orange & black & it came with a 128MB memory card. For what you get is OK I paid £60 for mine & has quite a lot of stuff in a small phone. But I think it will be better if it had Bluetooth & if it a better camera.

Looking at this phone just wants to make me cry. It gives me great pleasure to say that yes, the features are very good in this phone! However, the design of the phone is just vulgar. I honestly don't know what Sony Ericsson were thinking when they designed this phone.

This phone has both ups & downs. Before I start I am going to mention that the phone is worth is money (average £60). It has great sound quality for music (as do most Sony Ericsson walkmans) & it's a light & small phone. It also has a memory card slot (MicroSD) & comes with a 250MB card. This can be useful to upload your music/videos/pictures to your computer & vice versa. The downfall to this phone is the camera, with 0.3 meg camera the quality is not up to scratch for a computer screen, although it is fine quality for your phone. But then again - if you want good pictures, get a digital camera.
Bluetooth isn't included in this phone either, but infrared is - which is nearly as good, but not many people have it. This phone also has picture/video editing which can be useful & also quite fun if you are bored.
The Battery is good - you can listen to music for a few hours flat (on loudspeaker) without the battery running out, then again you probably wouldn't do that - but I am just making a point.
Overall I'd give this phone 8.5/10 & is definitely worth getting if you can get it for under 70 quid. They are currently selling it on Amazon for £114 or something silly like that, which is the Sony Ericsson price.
8.5/10 WORTH GETTING.

Looks really nice & it's very small & handy. MP3 playback is very good, as good as a iPod. Only bad things are lack of Bluetooth & bad camera resolution (VGA). In Holland only 100 Euro, but for 130 Euro you will get a K750i with Bluetooth & a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus, macro everything.

An excellent phone even though it has no Bluetooth, but who needs that when they give you a data cable and handsfree kit, free 128 memory stick, all these normally come separate you get a lot for a good price!

Reviewer: Claire - UK

Great value phone, at the moment under £50 from Virgin! OK the camera is less than 1MP but as other reviews have said if you want good quality pictures, buy a digital camera. Music storage excellent & a lot of good features for the price.

For £60, which is what I paid, I am astonished as to what it does. It's an amazing sleek, stylish, phone, which even plays music! Love it! If you want an entry level phone, this is definitely the one for you!

It has 1.3 MP camera. But it is a far better phone as compared to Nokia 3230. 3230 is 9500, W200i is 7300/-. Far more conserving. EQUALLY equipped. Get the data cable free, 128 MB memory card free.

I absolutely love this phone! OK, it doesn't have Bluetooth & the camera isn't that good but who cares! It has infra-red which is just as good & phone cameras are only meant to be for fun photos anyway. The music player is brilliant & it comes with free headphones & a 128MB card which is a fantastic deal for just £70, my friend bought the w850i for £120 & the music on my phone is way better! It's dead easy to use, is really cute & small, & just overall a great phone, buy it!

Reviewer: Arunkumar - India

I am happy to say that the phone has entered into the local markets. Well the phone is great. Nice design, simplicity, upgradeable, large keypad, comparatively large screen, user friendly, nice colour, everything is good. But the only thing that annoys me is its price 7200/- & w300i is 8200/-. Now one compares w200i to w300i & w300i is absolutely not a phone for every one & definitely a w200i.
