Sliding Walkman - Sony Ericsson W850i

April 5th, 2007

Sony Ericsson’s Walkman branded handsets are aimed at the consumer which looks for more of a multimedia experience with their handset than just the usual MP3/media player. It hasn’t been long since the last Walkman handset hit the Australian market (W810i for those playing at home), but Sony Ericsson have pumped out another one and iMobile.com.au is here to review it: the Sony Ericsson W850i!

The W850i is a mid-range 3G compatible handset with features that consumers probably wouldn’t find on other handsets in the same price range as the W850i. The handset has a great balance of multimedia and regular functionality while offering the normal ‘phone’ features of a mobile phone.
