    The Sony Ericsson W760i sells itself in as music phone and ends up being so much more. Whether it's the games, the camera, the internet access or the GPS, there is plenty for the person looking for a host of up-to-date features. It's not perfect, and lets face it, the slider design is not for everyone, but if you are after a compact handset that is easily pocketable with a strong music focus rather than just another smartphone, this will be hard to beat.

    The Sony Ericsson W760i is the best Walkman phone to date with so many features it rivals non-music phones like the N95. The lack of a standard headphone socket is its biggest flaw, but other than that, it's going down as one of our all-time favourite Sony Ericsson phones -- and not just in the music phone category Read more

    I've had pretty much the same problems that everyone has said here. The phone freezes then knocks its self off for min or two. Alarm does no recur when you want it. Music playback can be choppy. Another problem I had was my battery, your talking a full charge nearly every night. GPS seems to be a function they just wanted to add to sound appealing, it's not that good & requires Internet access so I hardly bother with it. I got an exchange so hopefully it works better.
