*Price :


*When I bought it it was for 13000/- . Although the prices have slashed to 9000/- now


*Statistics :*


The phone measures around 88?48?24.5 mm, and weighs 102 grams.


*The design :*


The design is very similar to that of SE W300i. It has a firm grip & you feel good when u hold it. The front panel is made of plastic & it has rubberised framings. The rubber keys are used to navigate the music player , control the current songs and allows you to switch to another song without opening the flap , thus making it easier for a person to operate it while he is jogging or exercising & hence it can be truly called a "sprorts centric" phone. The device comes in two colors.One which has violet casing & another one which has grey casing , although the grey one is more popular here in India.The front panel also boasts of a 2megapixel camera which is surrounded by a metallic ring which gives it a classy look.Although the camera lacks auto focus ability & the quality of the images is not that good as w800i. Also there is a display screen on the front measuring 1.5 inches , 128 * 128 megapixel resolution which has a very helpful orange backlighting. It shows information like incoming call , missed calls , current music track , date & time , amount of battery used. On the side you can find the inbuilt 512 MB memory card. Also there is lock/unlock button on the other side , infrared key , a volume control button & a button which allows you to use  your camera directly without really going into the menu.


*The Battery :*


It consists of a standard battery BST - 37. The battery lasts for 350 hrs in standyby mode & close to ten hours in the talk mode. Also I got this phone from UK so I needed a special convertor for charging the phone. It can also be charged through the usb cable which can be connected to your pc while charging.


*The internal display :*


The internal display is 1.9 inches big, retaining a resolution of 176*220 pixels (31*38 mm) and showing up to 262 K colors (TFT). The keypad is well embedded in the phone. It has a four way navigator keys which allows you to access the fitness section , messaging section & address book. It is incorpoarted with an "OK" key in the centre. The keys when pressed are lit by a dim orange light which makes it easier to see even in the dark.Also there are four other keys besides the numerical pad which allows you to access the music player , switch on/off ur phone , takes you to homescreen & the fourth button connects you to the internet.


*Accessories :*


*Headset** :


It includes a headset which is specially designed for your ears & which fits with ease in your ears without any discomfort. It provides for easy listening.

You can use the armband while running/jogging and tie it to the device. It helps in maintaing the fitness chart. There is also a stand which you can clip on ur belt while walking or exercising.
