What is it: Walkman slider phone with 3G connectivity and a 2-megapixel camera
What we think: The music-centric interface works very well and music sounds great, but it isn't as ergonomic as some of the competing slider phones

Sound, screen
Review:
Sony appear to have have installed a ridiculous auto sound leveling system when you play MP3s. When louder tracks are played the player struggles to adjust the volume and this makes tracks sound awfull... what's worse this feature can't be turned off! This feature was not present on the older W800i.
Also Sony have installed a screen brightness system, the phone adjusts the brightness of the screen depending on the ambient conditions... the screen frequesntly appears too dull, and does not appear to have the clarity of the W810 and K800 models (ie the resolution appears lower).
Hopefully Sony will rectify this on their software update site as I have made them aware of it...
