| Review summary | The W800i is a nicely featured handset, comfortable to use and with great battery life. It plays music reasonably well, and holds a lot of it thanks to the capacious bundled Memory Stick Pro Duo. But getting music onto the handset is difficult and the quality of sound output is poor. We'll wait for the next generation of music phone Read full review |
The Sony Ericsson W760i is the best Walkman phone to date with so many features it rivals non-music phones like the N95.

The W890i's successor -- the W902 -- offers the best camera we've seen on a music phone, with a decent interface and a solid, attractive design. It loses marks for not having a real headphone socket, but if you want a full-featured music phone, it's one to check out Read full review |

Samsung Pixon
Its high-end camera takes excellent photos, but the Pixon's touchscreen is less impressive
