Features

The W800i Walkman conjures us in memories of bopping down the street in the 80's with the latest beats blasting into our eardrums. Either its the radio or the music playback in your W800i, you will rock the ground. The radio in this cool set works typically like others in which you have to attach the antennae in the form of the headsets.

The 2 Mega pixel camera gives you the option of the landscape view with a resolution of 1632 x 1224 pixels and a '3gp' extension video at a 176 x 144 pixel video with its auto focus lens. Sony Ericsson has a range of accessories available for the W800i, including the MXE-60 detachable camera flash and the MMC-60 stereo line-out cable. The Bluetooth and Infrared are always there to facilitate you and an additional USB cable is there for fast PC transfers.

The battery for the W800 is quite exciting, it has a 400 hours standby time and a 9 hours talk time which is much better than other comparable sets.

Performance

When it comes to sound, Sony remains the top performer. As Sony Ericsson used the Sony walkman technology in this set, it can be said that until now the best sound can be heard by the W800i. Thanks in large part to the excellent noise-canceling headphones bundled in the box with this model. With the equalizer set to Mega Bass, the pounding beats coming from the W800i's headphones are enough to keep any dance or hip hop fan bopping.

Overall, W800i is the recommendation for all those who are in search of a MP3-playback within a cell phone. It's headphones provide extraordinary sound for its class, it comes with a Goliath of a memory card, it has a 2-megapixel camera, and it features Sony Ericsson-style ease of use. Its elegance an sleekness is of its own class.
