| Review summary | The W580i is an attractive Walkman phone that comes in handy if you like listening to music and exercising. We're not altogether sure about the flashing lights and shaking feature, but it's a refreshing addition to the Walkman range and we hope to see more innovation in the future 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 lack of a standard headphone socket is its biggest flaw, but other than that, it's going down as one of our all-time favourite Sony Ericsson phones -- and not just in the music phone category Read full review |
Despite some important missing features, a slow data network and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated mobile phone and MP3 player Read full review |
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 |
