The W890i is the successor to Sony Ericsson's popular W880i music mobile phone. It's a slim, stylish handset, clad in brushed aluminium. Features include a 2-inch screen, 3.2MP camera, Bluetooth A2DP, FM radio and, of course, a built-in music player. Sony Ericsson's Media Manager software comes with the phone. It tracks down music files stored on your PC so you can transfer them across. The Walkman music player is simple, concise and uncomplicated. The phone comes... Read more

Reviewer: The Star Online06 August 2008
Overall, Sony Ericsson’s latest Walkman phone is not groundbreaking but is still a decent one with all the important features. The call quality was superb, the 3.2-megapixel camera was decent, and the The Walkman interface is great for listening to music and for managing songs, pictures and videos. However, it was very difficult to type messages because of the small keys and the 3.2-megapixel camera lacks advanced features such as autofoucs and macro mode. All in... Read more

Sony Ericsson W890i Walkman
Reviewer: CNET21 March 2008- Overall 8
Design is clearly the focus on the W890i and it's where this Walkman truly shines. At the same time, we can't deny that the W890i is also a solid handset. If you can live with its mediocre camera, this Walkman phone is a keeper. Read more

We are left with positive feelings about the Sony Ericsson W890. It is a nice, light and slim Walkman, which would satisfy even the most capricious music fans. In addition, thanks to the high-speed UMTS you can check your mail or your RSS feeds, which interest you. Moreover, the nice appearance, in combination with the quality sound, will compensate for the lack of autofocus and flash. If you are looking for a beautiful music phone, W890 is a very good choice.

Sony Ericsson W890 review: Thin Walkman refined
Reviewer: GSM Arena28 December 2007The Sony Ericsson Walkman lineup is diverse enough to cater to all tastes in terms of design and functionality. With the W890 we have a nice update in the slim bar form factor. We liked the compact and amiable W880, and we believe the W890 is a welcome successor. It does address some of the major letdowns in the older W880: the tiny keys and the lack of FM radio. The user interface of the high-end W910 and the added HSDPA and quad-band GSM support are a commendable... Read more

Sony Ericsson launched a series returned in the latest W890i Walkman Phone range of family-it. However, the most special of the latest series of Sony Ericsson W890i is a mix of functions, not only for a maximum of playing characteristics as a series of 'W', but also appeared to promote the various multimedia features such as smart Turbo 3G and 3.2 mega pixel camera.
