Sony Ericsson on Orange
I'm looking to move to Orange pay monthly for a 12 month contract on Dolphin £25. I want a Sony Ericsson phone, particularly looking at camera, FM radio and MP3 playback. Interested in using it with gmail e-mail and doing a bit of mobile internet. What do you suggest?

![]() I have used it for internet as well, you can make it landscape or portrait for viewing sites and can have the slide open or closed too. It doesnt pick up scratches or dings easily mine gets used and abused and still looks as new. The only downside is it takes the memory stick duo, but when I got mine off orange they gave a free 1gig card The head phones come in 2 pieces so if you plug it in without the earphone part you can use the external speaker to listen to the radio on.sson_w850i_reviews.ht http://www.yourmobilephonereviews.co.uk/sony_ericm orange are also doing the W880i free now as well. http://www.yourmobilephonereviews.co...0i_reviews.htm Last edited by _pacman VKC : 04-03-2007 at 13:14. |

How good is the camera? I think that perhaps in the reason I want a new phone, for gig memories

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1...c/DSC00005.jpg Thats in poor lighting, and lets you do panoramic it even shows you an overlay of the last image to line up lol K800i http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1...c/DSC00029.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1...c/DSC00030.jpg Got a mate who had a 950i one with the 4gig drive on it? and said it was rubbish? As I say they are in very poor low light, the room is dark is its a very dull rainy day and the ceiling light shade is dark coloured The 850i's flash is a standard light like nokia's have but the k800i has a proper xenon flash, the radio on the 800i is iffy always seems to have a buzzing noise on it and the earphones that come with it are the bulky ipod type Have you had orange contract before mate? cos the orange software sucks balls, better if you can get somewhere where that will give the phone with generic software tbh and the phone wont have orange branding on it.

![]() I tried taking a still photo in the garden the other day and it was horribly out-of-focus. Not sure why. The zoom is digital so it can only be used in VGA mode, presumably taking a picture in 2 megapixel mode and then "zooming" in Photoshop would be a better option. |

The Sony Ericsson W880i is a good phone. Not sure if available on orange, got mine on 02. The camera is quiet good though zoom is only used in VGA mode. Mine come with a 1gb m2 memory stick so you can store lots of music and photos on it. The software is good too with the song2disk program which upload songs to the phone being very useful. The only downside for you is that it has no FM radio on it but I found that the FM radio on my old K750i was rubbish anyway. Google Mail works fine on it too.
