Sony Ericsson W205 Walkman review
You wouldn't flash it around down the pub, but the W205 Walkman is a decent music phone for those on a budget. Its sound quality is good, you can record tracks from the FM tuner, and its slider design is fairly slick.

The 830 slider phone quietly does the business, offering speedy HSDPA connectivity, a decent 3.2-megapixel camera and a handy MP3 player in a bargain package that feels flimsy but looks reasonably stylish. The straightforward user interface and syncing software also help make this a decent proposition Read more
