  1. Sony Ericsson W350i entry-level Walkman phone

    The Sony Ericsson W350i follows a similar budget music mobile formula to the recent W380i, by playing to its Walkman strengths, while adding a bit of eye-catching cosmetics and a touch of novelty value. Selling for under £80 in pre-pay deals, it’s squarely targeted at would-be Walkman phone buyers on a limited budget. There are obvious compromises on build quality and features, such as the flimsy flip, lower res screen and poor camera. But if you’re willing to... Read more

    Although the Walkman side of the W350 delivers a reasonable quality of sound, the mobile phone aspects of this device really disappoint: whilst the slimline design looks fairly crisp, the flap is cheap and flimsy and obstructs access to the keys. The headphones are good quality, but having to use the Sony Ericsson dongle is, once again, a real letdown. Read more

    You get a very impressive audio performance, with great balance and a good depth of sonic detail. It not only looks like a standalone music player, it does a fine job at being one too. Read more

    A really pleasant entry-level Walkman phone with easy-to-use features, good Walkman functionality and decent sound quality. But the poor audio format support is really annoying, it won't play any content with DRM and you have to use an adaptor in order to use regular headphones. Other than that, we think it's great Read more

    This W350i phone is Sony Ericsson's most recent way in catchin the eye and ear of music mobile buyers on a credit-crunched budget. It is a very cheap handset for Sony , at the low end of its range, but alongside its core music player credentials Sony Ericsson has given the W350i some fashion savvy appeal, with a lightweight, ultra slim body, a retro-ish flip and some smart-looking music controls on the front. Basic feature set Its numberpad-covering flip looks like an... Read more
