Sony Ericsson W508 review: Above the fold
14 Apr 2009

Summary
The Sony Ericsson W508 walks and talks midrange though by no means does it keep a low profile. What we have here is the full Walkman package at a bargain price and the rest of the W508 specs may...

Pros
Quad-band GSM and 3G with HSDPA support ; 3.15 megapixel camera ; 2.2" 256K-color TFT display with 240 x 320 pixel resolution ; Secondary monochrome OLED external display ; Scratch-resistant surface for both displays ; Touch sensitive external music ...

Cons
Camera doesn't have auto focus or LED flash ; Low-grade video recording (QVGA@15fps) ; No web browser screen auto rotate ; No document viewer

Verdict
A true Walkman at heart, the W508 takes after the Sony Ericsson W980 in many ways and even adds a dash of color to the Walkman experience - in fact, the StyleUp covers make it a regular chameleon

Sony Ericsson W508a
5 Jun 2009

Pros
Internal and external displays, gesture control, TrackID, Walkman software, 1GB M2 card included

Cons
Touch sensitive music controls aren't responsive enough, keypad is flat and uncomfortable, no 3.5mm headphone jack

Verdict
The Sony Ericsson W508a follows a similar lead to previous, mid-range Walkman mobile phones. It's relatively inexpensive, best described as solid and has an excellent display. It won't wow you with its features list, but it doesn't need to.

LG KF750 Secret
16 Aug 2009

I've had the LG Secret since November 2008 and I believe that there is a lot to desire.
Although having good features, the amount of memory (80mb) given when first bought is pathetic. Whilst in daylight you cannot see the screen at all. Even shading it with your hand still does not really improve it.
Overall a quite disappointing phone and I will be glad when I get the opportunity to get a different phone

The Motorola MOTO Z10 is a fairly good phone, the best Motorola phone i have owned, but they have still missed the boat again on great features which would make this a great phone e.g. Application compatability.

Looks good, appears easy to use.
Camera - have issues with the image, once it takes the picture the image saves and looks badly pixilated. Am concerned that I may have a dodgy handset but have seen 2 other reviews elsewhere which say the same! Does anyone else have this issue? Can you offer any advice?
I have tried all manner of adjustments from picture quality to type of image (portrait etc) to white balance and still the pictures are pixilated.

Sony Ericsson W350i

This is a very nice phone looks great and well worth what I payed for it. The camera is very good you can chose different effects for your photos like on most of these phones it also has a photo blogger thing. This memory is good I've downloaded loads of songs. Also my msn messenger on it and loads of pictures. The phone looks very nice and stylish I have mine in blue. The little flip thing at the bottom is good if I need to change a song while I'm doing something like texting or on msn on my...
