"Does what it says on the box"

What I like:

Large screen, very fast connectivity

What I don't like:

Fastport port for handsfree and charging works badly

Review:

I like this phone very much. It is quite small and thin for a slide phone. It also has a large screen and really great colors. When comparing the colors in the screen to my old K800i I see that the colors are much more vibrant on this W910i set.
Another thing that is really great on this phone is the connectivity. The 3.5G (HSDPA) speed is really great.
However, I bought this phone mainly for it's music feature. The media software interface is really nice looking, but when using my 8GB M2 card packed with AAC files is the browsing of playlists and tracks very slow. The sound itself is ok, but nothing special, but better than my old K800i. So now I just stick to my iPod and connect to this phone wirelessly via my BluEye remote for the iPod. I listen to audiobooks bought from Audible too and the phone also is shipped with an Audible software, which was a really good surprise for me.
There is one big thing that has irritated my very much about every Sony Ericsson phone that I have ever had. It is the connector for charging, USB and handfree, the Fastport. It is improved from the previous version of the port, but it is still quite bad. I bought this phone last March and for a couple of months now I have had a hard time connecting my mono handsfree, that I use when at work. I have to wiggle it for it to work (it worked when the phone was new). I have tried to clean it, but it didn't help. I had the exact same problem with my old K800 and K610i. The same is with the charging. I discovered a couple of times, after leaving the phone connected to the charger, that it hadn't charged at all. I am considering buying a Nokia set because of this.
Besides this problem, this is a really good phone.
