Sony Ericsson W910i
By: Shayne Rana   |   Feb 28, 2008
  • 3.5
Large and clear display
Smooth slider
Great design
Plenty of fun features
Keypad not easy to use
Music player and camera just okay


Features and Performance
Connectivity-wise, the W910i is a well-equipped 3G-enabled handset, so it also has high-speed net support in the form of HSDPA. Since 3G in this country still seems to be a topic discussed in whispers, the W910 is thankfully equipped to handle GPRS/EDGE.

Of course, there's also USB and Bluetooth with A2DP. Opera Mini is preinstalled (not that its own browser is not adequate) along with Google Maps. The New Plus application (similar to Nokia catalogs) provides content for your device.

From the media perspective the W910 is more than just decent. Its large 2.4 inch display is perfect for viewing images and videos. For some odd reason, Sony’s bundled software would allow me to install the media manager application only if I downgraded my QuickTime player! Like the K850i, the W910 has an auto-rotate feature for the gallery. Pity it doesn’t work with other sections.

The FM radio with RDS had decent reception while commuting, so that’s definitely a plus point. It’s also very quick while searching for channels. The auto scanning and saving feature take nothing more than a couple of seconds to save the presets.

The W910 is loaded with fun features like 3D games and applications such as VideoDJ for editing videos and PhotoDj for images. There’s also the MusicDJ application that comes with most SE handsets. A MusicMate application allows you to make music using the phone's inbuilt motion sensor. Simply hold down the Walkman key on the top and shake the phone in the direction you want the music to change.

The music player is loud and clear, and with EQ presets and manual options it’s really good. It has options for creating Playlists, viewing album art or visualizations, and best of all it has a converter for 3.5mm earphones. I found the bundled in-ear earphones a bit uncomfortable. Sony’s TrackID feature is also available in the phone, as well as the 'Play Now' application (which isn’t active yet).

WELL GUYS I'M USING THE PHONE FOR LAST 2 MONTHS AND I DO HAVE FACED SOME PROBLEM WITH IT.
THE MAJOR PROB IS:
1. BATTERY
2. Shutdowns AUTOMATICALLY

WELL FOR PEOPLE HAVING THE BATTERY PROB, JUST DO ONE THING DISCHARGE THE BATTERY ONCE FULLY SO THAT IT GETS SHUTDOWN. THEN CHARGE, IT WILL HELP U A LOT.

FOR THE SECOND ONE DON'T SWITCH BETWEEN THE APPLICATIONS VERY QUICKLY, ITS NOT A P4 PROCESSOR.


IF STILL FACING THE PROB GO FOR THE SERVICE CENTER.
Abhi @ Jul 02, 2008
every thing sounds good, i felt camera resolution still tobe inmproved & GPS systems can be added or we should get the gps systems in india.

for buying this people should decide
Prashant @ Jun 23, 2008
should i buy dis phone... w910i
anokhee shah @ May 16, 2008
Everyone don't buy this phone as for it's price it has caused me so much trouble. From the beginning the battery life served just 7hrs on standby and it switched on/off by itself and when charging it only fullcharged to 97%. I wanted to atleast fix the battery life since I live in another country and didn't purchase the phone from Malta. I agreed with the UK SE branch that I can send the battery and see if the problem is from there, I sent it on the 26th of January and till today 2nd May I haven't received any updates on the repair or the battery. therefore I am still unable to use the phone for the last 4 mths!!!!! They should be ashamed of offering such awful service, if you don't want to be a victim of awful customer care service don't buy this phone.

Hey Frnz,

SE W910 I is just having the few advanced features tha W580 I . I am using both the W 580 I and W 910 I. The W580 I mobile more stylish mobile than this W 910I . These W910 I widerscreen... thatz it . IFranky speaking it is not woth for the money .. when the price W 910 I is high y cant they increase the megapixel and also you can c same effect of music W 810 I . So wat is difference in tis new W 910 I . For me, it must have included more advanced features but it doesnt have!
vinod @ Mar 17, 2008
Deserves the best handset of all times in universe
Sasi @ Mar 13, 2008
This site always blames SE.But infact SE rocks in music,camera everything.Nokia is crap.Only N73 is good phone.I never go for Nokia handsets even someone gifting me for free of cost.People prefer nokia coz it gives loud sound for showoff and extra features(which hangs phone).But in earphone SE is baap all phones.No one beat SE in Bass.Nokia sounds like old cassete player.Hats off to SE....
Vaibhav @ Mar 12, 2008
Hey brothers sony ericsson just rocks. I have used 5 different types of only sony ericsson mobiles & all rocks man.currently i am using cheap set of it's k550i which have EDGE which rocks. Another good thing is that it supports multitasking, cut-copy-paste & lastly its slim & stylish. All in just 7.5 k . SE rocks man.
Neo @ Mar 11, 2008
price is too much
kasun @ Mar 06, 2008
Man either you guys are tech illiterate or in the wrong field. I am not saying this cause of just this review. I also feel your headphones under 1000 Rs review is crap Creative Ep630 is one of the best headphones for portable devices. And as for this review others have said enough so I wont repeat it..
Ryan @ Mar 04, 2008
Sony Ericsson W910i is a great phone, I like it a lot... but I prefer Nokia smartphones.

Besides Nokia has better signal (at least in my country). But maybe I'll buy one of this phones just becouse I like it a lot and a Nokia smartphone to do my other stuff.
Mavil @ Mar 02, 2008
You nokia adicted ppl; this clearly shows you did the review to saisfy the nokia company. Please stay neutral while reviewing products. Review standards should be set to certain rules, and not to satisify nokia. Moreover we ppl refer all other review sites, so please check and correct.
madhu @ Mar 01, 2008
Overall a good phone but as compared to other handsets in the market is expensive.
Saurabh @ Mar 01, 2008
this is the best phone i have evre had!
marrianne @ Mar 01, 2008
AS WITH ALL PEOPLE WHO BASH SONYERICSSON PHONES,THEY WERE ACTUALLY BETTER OFF WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY LIKE SHAKE CONTROL,RUGGED PHONES WITH GOOD LOOKS,SLEEK OPERATING SYSTEM,LOTS OF APPLICATIONS PREINSTALLED WITH GAMES AND TONES(UNLIKE NOKIA WHICH IS NEVER CRITISISED FOR EMPTY HANDSETS OR BULKY HANDSETS!!!)AND SENSME CAPABILITY TO NAME A FEW....YOU PEOPLE PASS IT OFF CAUSE YOU ARE ALL NOW ADDICTED TO QUALITY SOUND THAT SONY PIONEERED!!!!
YUSUF @ Feb 29, 2008
I am surprised and frustrated that This is the only company who is looking behind. even 750i has 2 megapixel with flash and gives incredible good pictures and did you see result of 2megapixel of w610i you will cut your throat yourself and will punch who tells this 2mega pixels and i can see same camera in this mobile phone. what SE thinks about consumers .. fool ? yes, there are if they buy SE handsets except 750i . I have used 750i , w610i and 790i . i can tell you that SE released one and only good thing is their life and it was 750i ( i still miss it) . and now look at these people they still are stick with 2.0 mega pixels in a 15k+ handset and by the way what is good in this set except big screen.. nothing .. nothing at all. I was a huge fan since i used 750i and now..%#&^#
amitbravo @ Feb 29, 2008
can you tell me about this price of W910i, what is actuall price and what it buying price .

IMHO, SE is always better than nokia in terms of cam, sound and other features.

i m also using sony's phone model no w810i it's a very gud mobile...

True.. The music player especially the Mega Bass in Sony Ericsson is one of the best available, if not the best. Further, camera from SE is better than Nokia.
Chirag Patel @ Feb 29, 2008
Can you send me driver so I can upgrade to 5megapixel camera pls. Send it to judgejules@gmail.com pls ok. thank u ok. bye
Judge Jules @ Feb 29, 2008
One of the worst review site I've ever seen.. Do u call this a review? Sorry, I would call it an opinion. Nothings technically reviewed here. Who the bloody hell cares if the Walkman earphones can't fit into ur ears? I mean, grow up yaar... Try to come out with the 'actual negatives' of the phone (if any)! I've been using this and I find it absolutely amazing...
Manoj @ Feb 29, 2008
some good, some bad... But i like sony ericssion
griger @ Feb 29, 2008
I aint a Nokia fan since I was using MOTO RAZR V3 and now
SONY W910i . Dont whine SE fans ... the review is pretty much 60-40% agreeable. As 1 of you mentioned abt MEGA BASS feature it seems work only if the mp3 bit rate is higher like 192-320 kbps range ....
LT. @ Feb 29, 2008
this cellphone caught my attention while it was launched ....WOW ! it was like 19K then , it trickled down to 17K. N I could not wait any longer ...it was myn finally . But not completely satisfied with sound and cam feature . The sound in comparison to Nokia N series or take music xpress edition or moto rokr was not upto par . ROKR priced arnd 14-15 K with wireless bluetooth, touchscreen but linux based although sounded well to go with . I'd say pretty expensive by 2 K and sound quality aint satisfying too . In the END u have BIG DISPLAY+EYECANDY PIECE+2 GB+ROCKING CELLPHONE !!!!!!!!!!!!
LT.ABHAY @ Feb 29, 2008
i never trust on tech2 in fact Indian sites.....just cos of these kinds of reviews
Arjun @ Feb 29, 2008
Camera should be of min 5 mega pix, battery talk time/stand time are not upto mark, internal memory is too less and should be atleast MP4
Sanjeev Arora @ Feb 29, 2008
i think the author is right, particularly for this model - because i used this and am currently having P1
AMIT @ Feb 29, 2008
this phone is way far good from n-series and the others available in the market. so just learn to appreciate good things!
ash1649 @ Feb 28, 2008
Hey, come on. From ur artilce, it clearly seems that you are trying to advertise for nokia. Thats the reason why u are bashing up SE for no reason.

IMHO, SE is always better than nokia in terms of cam, sound and other features.

SE Deserves this award!
Viraj @ Feb 28, 2008
are you insane what's the problem with you .
Sony ericsson's ease of use and very good balance features with very nice design deserved the place . Please don't post an article just because you own the website or the author of it . ITs disgraceful to see a very nice website used for disgraceful information like this.

Thanks very much such useful information
Vengat @ Feb 28, 2008
True.. The music player especially the Mega Bass in Sony Ericsson is one of the best available, if not the best. Further, camera from SE is better than Nokia. It reproduces original colors not saturated ones as in Nokia. And there is an option to use your own headphones.
Praveen @ Feb 28, 2008
passable Music player u must be anti-Sony ericsson guy or something...buddy...dont try and advertise for Nokia
