I got it as a present & I really like it.

I couldn't agree more with Jo from Oxon, UK.

I currently have a w810i & was due for an upgrade in Oct 2007. I am still looking for a phone that is worth upgrading to! Samsung need to sort their cameras out (especially at night) before I move to them, & Sony Ericsson need to stop separating their Walkman & camera phones.

I have looked at the w960i & it has such mixed reviews I can't justify the money. The w890i looks to be the best option but has no flash.

I think I have come to the conclusion that getting a phone that incorporates a music player & buying a separate camera is the best option. Camera phones don't yet cut it.

This is a very good phone & should be given an award it reminds me of the T610, the W810 camera is lovely with its 4 times zoom on all picture quality on like the w610 which is the upgrade a year later, I had mine since September 2006 & would love to upgrade but can't find a good enough 5 megapixel that is as well rounded as the W810. Congrats Sony Ericsson for a fine production. I wish the K850 touch sensitive keys were more reliable as that might have been my next phone.

This was my first non Nokia phone & initially I saw all the bad especially the limited nature of the 3rd party software available for the same. However once I started using it, I realised many positives.

- Unbelievably rugged, dropped lots of times. No problems.
- Lots of handy inbuilt features.
- Good sound quality.
- Very good user interface.

However there are some Negatives when compared to Nokia.

- Can't open more than one 3rd party application at a time.
- Speaker volume is just okay. Not loud enough. Clarity is good though.
- When you are transferring some files through Bluetooth or IR, you cannot do anything else.

A very good Sony Ericsson phone. But I stay a Nokia Fan.

I am due for an upgrade next month, I have been offered a selection of phones (mostly Nokia, yuk) or £10 per month (for 12 months) off my current price plan, I have looked at all the other Sony's & nothing really comes close to the W810i in my opinion, I would at least expect other Sony's to have basic features like a light, 4 x optical zoom & a radio! I am always using the light. I use it like a torch! Come on Sony!

I think I'll pass on a new phone & keep my w810i, it works perfect :-).

I love this phone. It takes awesome pictures & the design is very snazzy.

If you're going to buy this phone get the white version as it looks much better than the black version.

Reviewer: William Papworth - Colchester, UK
Date: 17th Apr 2008

Had this nearly a year but dropped on the road a few times, still works! Good things are the easy accessible media player, easy use for texting & small & sleek candy bar design.

Bad things are phone freezes a lot on the MP3 player & menu.

Miracle phone as I dropped it into a bucket of SOAPY HOT WATER & it still WORKS!

This phone is amazing if they upgraded the design I would buy it all over again. I still have it just in case my new phone breaks (inevitable)!

I think it's a great phone & it is really simple to use. The only problem is that I can't play some songs people have sent to me via Bluetooth.

I have had this phone for a while & I found it to be nearly perfect & only changing my mobile because my dog knocked into some water.

Reviewer: Sarah Browne - Essex, UK
Date: 10th Apr 2008

I like this phone however it's quite thick & even with the memory card there isn't that much memory! It takes too long to just take a picture on the camera & on the Walkman it takes forever to find the song that you want to play. But other than that I would recommend it to anyone who wants to buy a attractive phone that is easy to use apart from a few little downers.

Reviewer: Lisa Stone - Doncaster, UK
Date: 9th Apr 2008

I got this phone for Christmas & it freezes all the time & while I am texting the phone is to slow to keep up with me while I am texting someone. The little joy pad button in the middle of the phone has already fallen off. I am not very impressed with this phone. I also will not be returning to Sony Ericsson after this incident. You have just lost a customer. Thank you for listening to my complaint. Good luck with selling these hopeless phones.

Date: 6th Apr 2008

Had my phone 1 year 8 month had it replaced once due to myself dropping it but other than that no problems. I am due for a renew but not sure if I will find a better phone that serves me well, I was looking at the Sony k850i but all the problems they have with it, I give it a wide miss.

Reviewer: Gabz - UK
Date: 6th Apr 2008

This phone Is Lush Even though I Go through So Many phones Each Year this Is Problems the best one I have had. It's been chucked down the stairs & it is still OK. Even though it's chunky it's well good. You should definitely get it. You can even expand the memory. The bad thing about it is that like the battery life goes up & down & it's really annoying.

---

Reviewer: Andrew - UK
Date: 6th Apr 2008

This phone is wicked. All of my friends love it, can't find one thing wrong. Make sure you get the white one because black looks rubbish.

I have dropped it loads, I even dropped on concrete steps & it still works great.

Great battery life, great camera & great screen.

What more can I say, I never want to change it.

GO & BUY IT NOW BEFORE THEY GO OUT OF STOCK.

I have had this phone for a year & a half. I originally bought it through & I ended up losing it in a cab. I bought a new one from Amazon so it was unlocked & had more features. The only things I don't like is when using the music player, you can't press a letter to jump right to that section (I can't press G to jump right to Guns & Roses). Besides that, I love this phone. I will definitely buy the equivalent model in the future.

This phone is a really good phone although it has frozen in the music player a couple of times the features are really good camera is OK but a bit rubbish getting new phone maybe k800i or w850i don't know which one to get please can some people help me choose.

Reviewer: Beth Ford - Cheshire, UK
Date: 23rd Mar 2008

This Phone is Fabulous, My phone has been run over, dropped in the cannel, dropped of the balcony but it still worked until I flushed it down the loo.

It's easy to work & handle, great speakers & camera.

Recommended any day!

---

Reviewer: Chris - UK
Date: 22nd Mar 2008

The camera is brilliant, the Walkman is awesome, good battery, 10 days but I use Walkman & camera so you could probably get around 2 weeks out of it.

I have dropped this phone time after time on concrete, metal, kerbs & it is still in one piece. Only minor scratching which you can hardly see.

Buy this phone.

Reviewer: Pete - Portishead, UK
Date: 21st Mar 2008

It's very easy for me to review this phone because I just don't have one bad thing to say about it!

Everything just works!

It's very easy to navigate the menu's, transferring music with either the supplied software or one of the many other ways is a breeze, the camera is good enough quality to upload pictures to eBay or other website, the buttons are not to small & so texting is fine.

The music player is what I use the most & is nearly flawless, my only gripe is the fast forward is not that fast so it can take a while to whizz through an hour long podcast for example.

I have had this phone for 20 months, I am on my third after the other two had freezing issues which IMO happens to the majority of phones. If you have insurance or are with a decent company they just replace with no questions asked so not a hassle.

So to sum up, if you want a phone to be a very competent all rounder then I would recommend this one above all others.

Reviewer: Tim - London, UK

I've had this phone for nearly two years now, & it still works GREAT. Even though I've dropped it MANY times! Although, using flash whilst taking pictures did sometimes make the picture yellow.

Reviewer: Rachel - Cheshire, UK
Date: 15th Mar 2008

I have had this phone for about 1 & a half year's & it has served me well. I always take careful care with my phones & this has lasted well.

This was my first decent camera on a phone, it got all my gig videos & really good for taking pictures, further the light is very reliable.

I really liked the Walkman, as most Sony Walkmans are very good, I also got a 2GB memory card so space has never been a probably.

It has very good speakers & it is really easy to use. I love this phone but now I am onto another Sony phone but with just a 5MP camera.

HIGHLY recommend THIS PHONE.

Reviewer: Samuel J - UK

This phone is great. It's totally reliable. It's got everything a phone should have. Great memory. Great looks. Great long lasting battery life. Great picture quality.

I can leave the house knowing that this phone will turn on when I want it to.

Reviewer: Ruby Lenith - UK
Date: 6th Mar 2008

I love this phone. I loved it so much that I didn't even get an upgrade & then I ended up losing it so I was stuck with a Samsung E900 which was completely useless compared to this phone. Now I have got an upgrade & I am getting the w890i which I am excited about because it looks a bit like the w810i but a smaller version. I definitely think that people should go for the Sony Ericsson's than any other phone because they are so much better. This phone is small, & very easy to use. The camera quality is good & you can listen to music on it. & if you love music then the Walkman phones are really the best phone. I DEFINITELY recommend this phone to anyone.

---

Reviewer: Nathan - Kent, UK
Date: 6th Mar 2008

I got this phone about 15 months ago & it was amazing. It worked fine & it was the best phone that I had ever had until I dropped it a few times, now when I turn it on the screen is just white with purple dots on it.

I phoned up Sony Ericsson & said to them what happened & they replied we cannot fix your phone under the warranty because it was not a known fault with the phone, so I would have to pay £45 just to get it fixed when you can buy a brand new one for £60. So I switched to the cyber shot, love it.

Reviewer: Brian B - UK
Date: 5th Mar 2008

I've had this phone for about a year & a half now & it's been a pleasure. Absolutely no bother! I now have an upgrade due & I am actually gutted, as after reading most reviews, a lot of the new phones are getting put down for being unreliable.

Reviewer: Woody - Hpool, UK
Date: 5th Mar 2008

I have had this phone for 18 months now, it's my second Sony Ericsson & I am about to get another one. It's a really simple & easy phone to use. It's also solid as I have dropped countless times & its been in the washing machine aswell & it is still working great. The battery life is really good, mine can last 2 to 3 days with moderate use.

---

Reviewer: David - Cheshire, UK

I have had this phone since Christmas but I have had 2 get another 1 as the buttons stick & the texting freezes I think that this phone is rubbish & I now want to upgrade to the Sony Ericsson S500i as I think it would be a great phone but I don't want the buttons cracking what should I do? Please get back to me.

Great all around phone, loaded with features. Solid build. Menu's are a bit complex, especially the playlist feature in the Walkman part, but it's not a deal breaker.

Reviewer: Steve Marshall - Hull, UK
Date: 25th Feb 2008

Best phone I have had, got it to replace an N91 that I had for two months (what a joke). The W810i has a long battery life & is reliable, robust & easy to use, just a great phone all round.

Absolutely love this phone to bits. It's so much better than my old phone. It's got everything a phone should have.

Reviewer: Phil - Bristol, UK
Date: 12th Feb 2008

This is still the most reliable phone on the market. Camera is very good for 2MP, even if the light is blinding LOL! Music player is fantastic (like most Sony Ericsson's) even though I don't use it much, very clear & good volume. Easy to navigate through the menus, messaging & calls are very easy to make & most importantly, the phone has never frozen on me in the 18 months I have had it.

Also, very well built, it is thick enough to be sturdy but not so thick that it feels like a brick. A small downside on my W810i is that the WAP doesn't seem to work, but I think that is Orange's fault, not the phones. It is also probably pretty cheap now.

I am due an upgrade from Orange, but having read the reviews of the phones I have been offered they would find it hard to beat this phone. Also, don't buy anything from Orange! I am being messed around by them at the moment. They send you the wrong phone then you have to pay special delivery to send it back! The customer services staff are incompetent, but this is actually an upside because they give you money off stuff :).

Reviewer: Max - Melbourne, Australia
Date: 11th Feb 2008

I bought this phone because of the excellent reviews. I was put off by the look of it. I sort of wanted a clamshell but decided to go with the W810i, which I got for $182 delivered, with a bonus 512MB pro duo memory stick.

I wasn't sure about having a Walkman phone but it is great & I am so glad I got it. The software is easy to use & downloading songs from my computer is a breeze. I haven't tried the blue tooth or email features.

The camera is good & the video feature is a lot of fun. All in all it is a great phone. It is far nicer in reality than in the pictures. I thought the small keypad would be a problem but the definite feel of the buttons makes it OK. I love the Orange backlight on the keys. It has a nice feel to it. My girlfriend likes it so much she is getting a white one, even though she just bought a Motorola RAZR V3 (which is very pretty).

Definitely recommend.

Bought it because it was cheap (& I lost my Samsung LOL). £79.99 from Tesco. Came with the 512 pro duo card. So far I am well impressed! Long battery life, excellent camera & you can download free themes, wallpapers, games etc from the Internet & put them straight onto the phone because the cable & software was packaged with it!

Best phone I have had so far!

Reviewer: Sammyo - UK
Date: 5th Feb 2008

To be fair it is a pretty good phone, I have the white one, longest phone I have had about 2 years now.

Pros
- Its very strong (I dropped it on a loge ride going up & after going down & getting wet it was still fine! ).
- Fantastic camera for a 2MP.
- Easy to transfer music onto it.
- Good music playback.
- Fantastic battery life.
- Really easy to master & control ( I can text without looking with ease).
- Great torch light on it which I use all the time because I walk in the dark.
- Pretty cheap now.

Cons
- Taking pictures can sometimes be awkward.
- Sometimes the system goes really slowly.
- Pretty thick.
- My memory card sometimes pops out.
- the back that protects the battery falls off after a while.
- Mediocre screen.
- Battery goes red then green again (pretty annoying).

I have been quit picky but there are more pros than cons.

Get it if you want a good all round phone, kind of like the old saying, don't judge it by its looks, it does everything it's said to do well but in a bulky package, but otherwise great phone =).

Reviewer: Craig - UK
Date: 31st Jan 2008

This is an excellent phone! My only complaint is that without a shutter cover, the camera lens tends to get somewhat dusty. But that's a very small gripe given how ace the phone is!

Also, to Janice Cooper from US reviewed on the 2nd January, you need to blame the SHOP for the problems you've had, NOT the PHONE! You can't give it 5% for everything just because the shop staff lied to you!

I'd love this phone from the first time I know. But I just love one colour. Fusion White.

I think this phone much better, which this phone have great camera, great sound (very loud mega bass), user friendly, etc. I am very satisfied with this phone & I am very satisfied with Sony Ericsson mobile phone.

I am thinking about getting the w910i & I was wondering if it would be a wise choice as I have seen many different reviews on this phone. I currently have the w810i & was wondering if the w910i is an improvement on my current model.

I would also like to know how many full length tracks it can hold? (As I would usually use it for music) please reply to this as it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I first bought this phone around July 2007 because my D600 broke & I loved it! But then I lost it in November & I bought a cyber shot & I hated it so I came back to the loyal W810i, I have had about 3 of these & I loved it! But I don't have it anymore because I got upgraded to the new cyber shot. This phone has everything you need even a torch for when you drop something!

I love this phone :) I got it on Christmas day 2007 & have had no problems with it so far. It is so easy to use & the music is great. It has a really good camera 2 mega pixel & it can store loads of songs.

The best phone I've ever had. I certainly won't be changing it anytime soon.

Reviewer: Vicky - North East, UK
Date: 18th Jan 2008

I got this phone as soon as it came out, I am due an upgrade next month, but am finding it hard to find anything that lives up to this phone, It is probably the best phone I have had. I can fully is charge it in 1hr & it will last around 2 maybe 3 days depending on whether I listen to music or not. Software easy to upload for placing music on the phone.

Everything is easy to use. Great Internet, allows me to save my MSN inbox, so I don't have to worry about signing in & all that. Compared to some of the newer phone it seems a bit bulky. But that's not a big deal to be honest, it doesn't have an Ariel so who cares! Must have dropped this phone 100s of times, & it still works perfectly. Recently dropped it in my dog water bowl, took it apart to dry, still works perfectly & there isn't a scratch on it! It really is a MINT phone! I'd recommend it, if you're now looking for a cheap but decent phone (wasn't cheap when I got it) but yeh, good phone, good camera, good music. All GOOD.

For all those people who have given the Sony a bad report what does it tell you by all the good reports! Duh! For every 100 good Sony's there is probably 1 bad Sony!

It is a great phone it works really well & I recommend it to everyone, so if you have had a bad experience it's probably a one off, & anyway if you don't like it make sure before you buy you can return after so long! (use your head).

Reviewer: Siance - UK
Date: 12th Jan 2008

Always had Nokia's before so buying a Sony was a change. I saw it & thought what a cute white phone. Read reviews etc before I decided to buy it.

I really like the white version, being a bit different from all the standard dull looking black phones out there. & I can find it in my bag easily. The only reason I didn't give full marks for design is it could do with being a bit slimmer, like the new W890i.

I don't use the games feature but do a lot of texting. It's a different set up to the Nokia's, but I find it quicker & the buttons feel nicer, proper clicky. Pleased I can access my Gmail account from it. Web browsing is easy.

As for the music, mine didn't come with a memory card but I am going to buy one so I can store more tunes. You need this as the phone doesn't hold hardly any songs. The sound quality is great though & you can add your own headphones which is good.

Better to transfer stuff using a dongle Bluetooth thingy though as the cable method is very unreliable. Mobile software is never the most reliable to use, but Sony's better than Nokia's PC suite muppetry!

The orbit theme is cool. I didn't realise the little comet changed colours until recently! & it's got a built in light on the back of the phone (not mentioned in the spec) which has come in very useful for when you need a torch!

Just got this phone on Virgin Media contract, first phone would not find the network so was replaced. Got replacement phone which worked for a few days, battery went dead, now the phone won't charge or reboot or power up. I am not impressed with this phone. Always used a Nokia & had no problems. Have had this phone replaced with the Nokia 5300. Anybody else had problems with battery dead or reboot?

The w810i is a great phone. WRT the message below the two below this one.

The phone us UPGRADEABLE to 2gigs & 500 songs can be loaded into it. Don't give up on it. The model's been running for 2 years, & is still running strong.

Give it a chance.

Reviewer: Ver Samson - Philippines
Date: 6th Jan 2008

I bought this phone for around US$220. I love the shortcut buttons on it. For the games, it would only work for some Java games, most of them would run abnormally fast or small.
It's disappointing that this phone can't play wav files, & its loud speaker for music is not really that loud, & the earphone that is included in the package are really poor. You'd rather use a cheap $2 earphone. You would hardly hear your ringtone when you're on the street, or while watching movie at your home.
It doesn't have a good video player as well, it can only play 3GP. You can only install limited mobile tools for this w810i

For the good part, it has a nice camera compared to other mobiles that has the same 2megapix camera. I even compared the quality with a N73, & the w810i wins when you're shooting at night. If you are into customizing your phone, I suggest you get a Symbian 60 phone (probably Nokia). In the end, I'd only use my w810i for mobile camera & Walkman, but when it comes to other features like games & applications, Id still use my very old Nokia 6260.

This phone is so good, it's like good! For 70 bob it's worth it. The Walkman obviously is good because it looks proper loud.

& the camera is OK, the picture just comes out like a bit square like, I think it's like the forever phone. If you want a good camera just buy a digital camera.

At first I thought this phone was really good & worthwhile but over the last 4 months it has been turning itself off constantly or freezing, & when I try to switch the phone on again by holding the on off button on top it takes a long time to switch on, if the phone is just slightly tapped or knocked it will again just turn itself off, this can also happen for no reason at all when it is playing music or any other function being used at the time. I have contacted Sony Ericsson regarding this problem, but all they have suggested is for me to download the latest updated software from their website, it has not worked at all, I feel the this is a design or software fault of some kind, especially since I've been reading that this fault is happening all over the world with this phone & also the W850i, don't recommend at all.

This phone is fantastic. I have had it a year & have had no problems so far.

Pros.
- Good battery life.
- Good games.
- Good memory (comes with memory card).
- Amazing camera.
- Pictures aren't taken of your bag as there isn't an irritating side key.
- Camera can be used like a real camera.

Cons.
- Is a bit chunky.

This phone is amazing & I won't be getting replacing it for a while yet.

Well I got this phone rather recently, & have been playing around with it a lot. The Walkman function is great, as it both integrates flawlessly with the phone's software, yet remains separate, so as not to harm the functioning of the phone. I've experienced a couple problems with it reading ID3 tags on MP3's, but that can also be put down to where you download it from, & what sort of formatting you have on the tags.

The 2MP Camera is excellent for such an essentially cheap phone. It's clear, the auto focus works well, the light is powerful, & the macro lens is really good for close ups. The phone is very easy to use with a computer, it comes with the USB cable (& Bluetooth or infra-red is that the USB connection between the phone & Computer is rather slow (With speeds ranging in the USB 1.1 Low-Speed area). This can become a problem when moving a lot of music onto your phone.

The memory is expandable, & the format it takes (Memory Stick PRO Duo) is quite cheap (I managed to get a 4GB Memory Stick for mine for about £17), & reliable. If you're serious about having a lot of music on your phone, & are partial to removing & adding music onto your memory stick regularly, I would advise you get a USB 2.0 memory card reader, so you don't have to put up with the slow transfer speeds.

The phone itself functions very well, the SMS function is simple to use, the T9 is easy to activate, deactivates, & is expandable with custom words. Sound quality of phone calls is good (partly network dependent of course), & it has plenty of features during calling. Also, good news if you like to deviate from the norm & use other software, it supports a wide range of Java applications, including games, web browsers etc, & if you're really into modding phones, the firmware can be flashed with commercially available software, using the standard USB data cable supplied.

All in all, it's a great music phone. It's near infinitely customisable, with the use of themes, has brilliant Walkman software, is fast, reliable, & well worth what you'd pay for it nowadays.

I think this is the best phone in the market now days, all phones have to be so expensive! So why not grab a bargain! It may to some people look thick & horrible but that don't matter it's a PHONE! I think it's stylish in black & white. I love it, the sound quality is good & everything, I experience the same thing when the screen blacks out after a while & when you push the button it takes like a couple of second to come back on.

But this phone is the best!

Hi I don't know if I should buy this phone or not. So I would like to know if the battery is good? If you can use a memory card? I'll appreciate it if anyone can answer my questions. Thanks.

The W810i is an excellent phone for a first time Sony Ericsson buyer because of its excellent usability & design. I've had this phone for 9 months but have to buy a new one because of my own fault. People say that the white one gets dirty easily but that isn't the case, this phone looks best in white as the black one looks rubbery & plasticky.

The reason why I haven't given this phone 100% for features is because this phone has got demo games. This annoys me a lot in phones & I sometimes wonder why they do it.

But otherwise best phone I've ever had!

This phone has great features (as all Walkman phones do) but it looks terrible! It's so chunky & fat & well, basically, it's ugly. I prefer Samsung f210. Samsung phones look great & have great features. This phone is ugly!

This phone is excellent though it's a bit too chunky for my liking. It's a good solid phone & the Walkman facilities are great. I know good phones when I see them & this is definitely one I would recommend.

People, don't go for the newest phone on the market, go for the best. New phones may look flashy, but this phone outstrips the lot of them!
