Compare Prices : Sony Ericsson W660i

Review summary: The W660i isn't the most advanced handset. However, its decent all-round feature set, straightforward design and user interface are likely to attract the mainstream crowd.

Pros: Classic yet functional design ; thumb-friendly controls ; Bluetooth stereo ; FM radio ; external memory card slot

Cons: Not quadband ; no autofocus or built-in photolight

Verdict: The top half on the back of the phone also has some motifs etched onto it

Review summary: Before the Apple iPhone arrived, Sony Ericsson had laid claim to be the most powerful mobile music brand in town. Hugely successful, Sony Ericsson's Walkman portfolio has expanded to suit almost every taste and price point

Pros: Excellent Walkman music player, 3G connectivity for fast downloads, Good value for money 3G Walkman phone

Cons: Camera lacks autofocus and flash, Familiar Walkman design. Again, Can't charge phone while listening to Walkman

Review summary: Sony Ericsson's W660i is a candybar Walkman phone that looks like a combination between the company's W810i and K800i.

Pros: Excellent battery life* 512MB Memory Stick included* Great suite of music applications* Comfortable form-factor

Cons: Yet another Sony Ericsson candy-bar phone* Does not natively sync with Mac OS X

Verdict: Looking as good as it sounds, the Sony Ericsson W660i is an exceptional fusion of 3G handset and music player. However, existing Sony Ericsson users may find little more than a smattering of new applications to tempt them into an upgrade.

Review summary: The Sony Ericsson W660i is an accomplished music phone, but there isn't much new on offer except the design.…

Pros: The whole Walkman music experience is seamless, right from the PC software, through to transferring your songs and finally listening on the fully-feature, superb sounding music player

Cons: Compared to recent Sony Ericsson handsets like the W810i and K750i, the W660i's two-megapixel camera is poor

Verdict: While the new W660i is a highly capable music phone and a tad swisher than fellow Walkman candybars, its oh-so-familiar design still failed to inspire us.
