Its a simple yet stylish looking phone from the house of sony ericcsson. Its cost around 11k and has loaded with features. It is complete value for money.
Package contains:
Advantages:
1) Lightweight compared to many nokia smartphones(99g).
2) 2 Megapixel camera and high quality pictures. Camera is one of the biggest advantage of this phone. There is so many things you can do from this, if explore.
The camera has zoom facilty if you set picture quality to lower level than Large(1600x1200pixels). Along with normal mode, this can shoot in "burst" and " panaroma" mode. Panaroma gives you extra large width image and very useful while shooting sceneries. Burst mode shoot 4 photos in burst and suitable for shooting events like dance or wedding rituals where people won't pose for you but you have to take pic as it goes.
3) One more great feature of camera is selftimer which allows to shoot the photos by putting on timer. This way you will not be missing in photos while shooting.
4) Highquality bluetooth interface. Always reliable and worked with PC without any hassle.
5) Walkman feature along with software in Cd turns the phone into ipod and batteries too run pretty long.headphones are of excellent quality.
6) You can start phone in music only mode and use it in flight without any hassle.
7)Menus and items are very logical placed and things can be find without even reading the mannual. Not unlike Nokia where stuff is placed whereever manufacturer wants.
8) High quality sound reception and very stable software. Can't see it crashes any time since purchase( 7 months) from now.
9) Remote control feature allows you to control PC via bluetooth. Very helpful in showing presentations in office where with phone you can change slides. Also used it at home as remote to laptop and controls windows media player.
10) Its light is as strong as a regular torch and of great use on electricity cutoff.
11) flap over camera, so that lens doesn't get any scratches.
12) solid encasing. got dropped in water for 30 seconds. But ready to use in 2 hour after putting it in sunlight.(don't try this at home:))
13) Its price aorund 11k which is total value for money.
Disadvantage:
1) May be not too stylish for teen-agers(no flaps etc).
2) can't set name/text on screen like we do in nokia. But can create you own wallpapers and set them. So, in that way offset that disadvantage.
Comparision with other sonyericcsion.
1)w310, w550 are also good but they come with lesser quality camera(1.3 megapixel)
2)w700i cheaper than w800, K790 etc
3)w700i is functionally equivalent to k750i. K750i is 1500/- cheaper than w700i. But K750i has 64MB card(w700i has 256MBcard) and doesn't have headphone. Cost of headpohne from sony ericcson is 1000/- and 256MB card is Rs2000/-, So getting 3000/- worth stuff in extra 1500/- is good buy.
Overall, a completely loaded phone with features and goodlook and extremely practical for day-to-day use. A definate thumbs up!
