Quick review

The good
3G, 1G Memory Stick Pro Duo in the box
The bad
Clunky large design, keypad confusing to use
Verdict
The 3G just isn't worth the size increase. Our advice, stick with the W810i for now

  • its the most pointless phone ive had. by changing the memory card, i only started a reaction of other problems, now my sim is being read as inactive and any other registerd sim wont work in the phone. before it would take o2 and orange. my sim will work fine in any other phone. the problem wiped the memory off the phone, card and sim. nothin i have tried will allow calls or any other action, i basically have an expensive storage device some use that is.

  • This is the best phone i have ever had in my life. Honestly i was so gutted when it got stolen. i am trying to find another one exactly the same but to be honest its easier just to buy a more updated one. the music player and the memory on it was brilliant . i cannot say a bad word about it!!!
