SONY W600i - I LOVE THIS PHONE
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I had seen this phone at Cingular stores for a while and really liked it. The swivel design was sleek and new at the time and really dug the loud orange color making it totally different, standing out from other Cingular phones. I did not buy it when I first saw it because I am not one of those people that switches phones every time a new style comes out. Not because I wouldn't like to but because I can't afford to. Anyways, I held out until after almost 3 years, my old cell phone finally bit the dust. (It was also a Sony Ericsson - there's alot to be said about their quality!) When I went to get a new phone, there was some pretty cool stuff out, but this W600i was long gone from stores. No problem, that's what Ebay is for.
Now I finally have what I guess I would say was my dream phone. I got a good deal but the most important thing is I love the phone for all the same reasons - style, design, but also because it is a great little phone. It has cool features - the best being sound. I have various ringtones for certain callers and I always love to hear the music when calls come through, it plays so loud on speaker and the sound quality is wonderful. The screen is the perfect size, it is very easy to use and navigate through because the buttons are not tiny and the keypad makes texting so much easier than the last phone i had. I think as far as regular keypads, it's one of the easiest to manuever (unless it's one of those qwerty things with all the letter keys and symbols).
Anyways, there are only two things I have to say I don't ABSOLUTLEY love on this phone. They are both related to one another so i dont know which should go first ... ONE: that little button that you get onto the internet with, you know the one that links you to the browser? Well it is on the front of the phone so I am always inadvertantly logged into the browser beacause TWO: the lock feature on the phone is not the best. The lock switch is on the side of the phone and it is very sensitive so sometime I lock it and it unlocks itself as it slips into my purse. It can also "unlock" itself if the phone is swiveled slightly open. So if I lock it and have it in my pocket and it swivels- even partially open, it unlocks itself. I dont like this because my last phone you had to like press two different buttons consecutively to unlock the keypad (like menu and * or something like that). So accidently launching the browser was not an issue. Plus, data usage isn't free even if your not technically using it. Once your browser is open, the charges start racking up.
Other than these minor issues, I LOVE THIS PHONE and would totally recommend it!!!
HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL!!
