*** Sony Ericsson W810iWalkman Phone ***
After about a year of owning a Sony Ericsson K750i phone I decided it was time for a change and after an evening spent on the net looking up phones I finally decided on the Sony Ericsson W810iWalkman phone in White. My initial reasons being that it was Sony Ericsson and it was a walkman phone so I would be able to store more songs on and use the walkman at work instead of taking my mp3 player in. So I ordered my phone on O2 pay as you go for £149 out of the Littlewoods catalogue. Three long days later my new phone arrived.
After inserting the sim and battery I turned the phone on and it started up. The start up was and still is reasonably quick. Upon switching the phone on you are given the choice of Start Phone or Walkman Mode. Start phone mode enables you to use the phone normally as ...
Advantages: Very stylish, great music player, very powerful tool Disadvantages: No Camera Zoom
Well with some trepidation i recently upgraded to the W850i when contract renewal time came around.
Having read a few bad reports about this product i almost went for one of its rivals, however i stuck to my guns as the W850i offered the features i most wanted, and in one of the most stylish packages.
So to the phone, no need to list its functions plenty of others have done that, but more to point out the really useful bits, and the misguided advice of others.
I can only speak from a TMobile service users point of view, but so far i have had no problem getting a signal wherever i am in the uk, which is a vast improvement on the performance of my old Samsung, although that was with Voda.
Then to the music part, for an old git the ability to store a good few CDs worth of music is more than sufficient, and the 1GB card supplied ...
Advantages: Camera/MP3 Player/Phone/Organiser - All in one! Disadvantages: A few minors in software but nothing major
The new Sony Walkman w810i is a new model in the w800 range, and has numerous changes from its previous model - the w800i. The changes are clear in the design of the new phone, as well as functionality and the software driving the machine.
To start with, the aesthetics have been greatly improved - in my opinion - as the black is sleek with the cool orange and silver buttons on either side makes it really eye-catching.
A major change is the loss of the joy-stick feel with the navigation system, and instead created a D-pad which is pressable. Personally this is a great improvement, as they previous joy-stick nav was far too flimsy when trying to flip through photos/songs quickly.
The phone, although has many improvements, has one down fall, which is that it does not have a camera-cover. This may seem like an improvement ...

Album Notes
Isotope 217: Jeff Parker (guitar); Rob Mazurek (cornet); Matt Lux (bass); John Herndon, Dan Bitney (percussion). Engineers: Casey Rice, Malachi Ritscher, Graeme Gibson. This third album by Chicago (please don't call them post-rock) experimentalists Isotope 217 fulfills and expands upon the promise of its predecessors. Though plagued with the "Tortoise offshoot" tag from the start, Isotope really establishes its own sound here. The debut album featured slightly tentative--but still forward-looking--BITCHES BREW-isms, the second a bit more electronic flavor. WHO STOLE THE I WALKMAN, however, is a fully realized, sui generis concoction of free jazz, avant garde weirdness, moody electronics, and completely non-retro jazz-rock flourishes. An effective balance between composition and improvisation, lyrical melody and free-wheeling freakout is achieved. If anything, the influence of trumpeter Rob Mazurek's avant-jazz Chicago Underground group plays more of a role here than Tortoise, but admirers of either outfit should be drawn to this recording.
Album Reviews
Q (10/00, p.119) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Groove-led tracks pulse seductively while electronic texture are deftly interwoven....this will delight those with the acquired...abstract...taste..." Down Beat (10/00, p.60) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The sextet cleverly wrings kaleidoscopic proportions out of simple structures....an attractive new spin on electronic music..." JazzTimes (12/00, p.103) - "...The happy medium between their moody acoustic interplay and the duo's electronic spirit..." Alternative Press (10/00, p.96) - 3 out of 5 - "...Blends improv, songcraft and electronic sound. An out-jazz sensibility holds forth and coheres the tracks..." CMJ (8/7/00, p.32) - "...Augments [their] Aphex Twin/electric Miles/ Tortoise fusion....revolving more around the groove..."
