I want to buy this Sony Ericsson W902i because I like a candy bar phone but this phone lack something. This phone don't have Wi-Fi, another Sony Ericsson phone have Wi-Fi but cannot direct go to you tube that the BIG BIG mistake. The colour screen only 262000 cannot beat Nokia. The camera don't have optical digital zoom, face detection, xenon flash & TV out that very very poor to BIG company like Sony Ericsson.

Bought this phone about 6 weeks ago because I heard good reviews & thought it looked really good. Had the phone for 3 weeks & had to send for repair. The phone lost all sound. I also noticed that it also temporarily freezes & has to be turned off & on again. This phone is fantastic when it works & also looks, sounds & feels great but like the man in the shop said the more stuff you pack into a phone, the more it will go wrong.

Got this phone at the weekend & very pleased with it so far. I am glad that Sony Ericsson finally decided to put a decent camera on a Walkman phone.

This is loaded with good features but is sadly missing Wi-Fi connectivity, the mobile Internet functions are as good as any other phone I've ever used so it's not really that bad.

The Walkman functionality is top notch as always on the W range. I'd seriously recommend this phone to anyone who wants an all in one mobile with both music & camera built in.

I owned a W810i & now I bought this phone because it looks so stunning. It reminds me of the W810i, but totally renewed. I made a video about the phone, check it out if you want to see the phone in action on you tube.

Absolutely fantastic phone. Don't know how the above reviewers can give their ratings & then state they haven't got it yet?

I have it, & I will go so far as to say it's actually better than the iPhone. Except for one feature it's missing, No Wi-Fi connection.

Otherwise, this is an awesome achievement for Sony Ericsson. It has all the best bits from their K & C ranges as well as the Walkman function.

In my opinion, the best Walkman phone to date. Amazing music features with a 5MP camera (at par with the Cybershot phone series). I wonder when will this will arrive in Southeast Asia. I can't wait to get my hands on one.

I think this is a good phone because it has all the features that the Sony Ericsson k850 & the Sony Ericsson c902 has. It would be best if it had gps & windows mobile 6.1.

The design on this phone seems a bit simple but I think that the fact it has similar features to the W980 makes up for this. It looks like it would be easy to use & the 5MP camera is a great added feature for a Walkman phone. I think that this phone will be just as great as the C902 if not better.
