The first review of the SE latest model - W890i Walkman!

The first review of the latest model SE - W890i Walkman! .
Zaprszamy for the reading. The review was described by the owner that of prototype.

You can comment on the review on Forum Club-SE.

Prototype of the W890i model - Walkman.

What did I receive in the box?
Phone,
battery,
battery charger,
operating manual,
the memory card and receivers (dependent on the country and the operator)


First impressions.
After taking out the phone call from the box, I am thinking, it behind the model? I don't know it. The phone was put into the casing of the type slim - 9,6mm, is made of some metal and held in the brown key. For me personally doesn't appeal - but it is a matter of the taste. Something what at once riveted my attention is a big display. Small keyboard, but will let on it be spelled. The phone efficiently and quickly works.

Display:
How I already recalled is big. He causes the remarkable impression, legible, distinct. Diagonal 5.2 cm (~2 "), rodzielczosc QVGA. To want more?

Keyboard.
Small, but in turn comfortable. Great and quickly he/she is spelled on it smsy. I don't have reservations about her. With novelty in this model it is inserting the red and green receiver. Of course we are getting back and zakonczamy with them connections. The right functional button is performing roles of the button "backwards" which now is performing the role of the button of abridgements.


Multimedia:

Apparatus:
Apparatus built in in this model is doing the good quality of taking for 3,2Mpix resolutions. Everything known well for us from K800i... apart from AutoFocus'a and of mode macro. In the end it is not CyberShot.

Radio , so as in previous Ericssonach Sony, with the RDS function. He/she isn't humming and nicely he is playing.

Mp3 - with function Walkman.

Here the phone very much surprised me, and what's more positively. They are MP3 straight out fabulous! Version Walkman'a for setting up in it it is 3.0.

Entertainment / games / TV:
I am telling also to try out new java 3D games of the screen of the turnover with the possibility. Graphics - super. How to the phone without Symbian `a he deals with impeccably! Not zapomniane impressions!

TV: the Phone is supporting the mobile TV what is marked in the picture below. The quality of watching can be good, because of the UMTS technology.

Summary.
Generally the phone is doing the good impression. He is elegant and little, he has the very big display. Apart from the fact that he can very well to serve as the mp3 player of the good class, it is possible from time to time to immortalize theses something with apparatus built in about good parameters. Too certain will hit on someone's tastes. The phone will be presented officially 15 November. In which he will be for price? Probably moved close to K770i.
