Sony Ericsson W800i ep

The vast majority of reviewers at this site recommend the Sony Ericsson W800i. Of the overwhelming number of positive reviews, picture, music and video quality is rated extremely highly.

Ease of use also received a lot of mentions including the ease of which tracks can be downloaded and accessed on the MP3 player as well as the intuitive menus in general.

Other added features Review Centres army of reviewers like include the very powerful torch which is incorporated into the handset.

Of the very few less than glowing reviews the only consistent problem appeared to be those experiencing glitches with software. However, Sony Ericsson ran an Update Service on its website and this appeared to resolve most people's issues.
