Sony Ericsson W900i
I have a few qualms about the W900i, Sony Ericsson’s latest 3G phone with built in Walkman capabilities.
For one thing, it seems that SE just decided to throw in the usual user interface not taking into account the way the flipping mechanism works. For instance, when I’m reading text while the phone is in closed mode, flipping it open will invert the phone which isn’t a very user friendly experience.
There are some notable differences in the user interface. Experienced users used to press “C” to turn the phone on silent. Now you need to press “#” to auto-silence the phone. This sucks because when your phone is closed, you would have to access the quick menu to do that same function which usually took you one button press to do.
The W900i is a good phone though - the UI is pretty fast, the features are great, and the manly black finish is well, manly, in a sexy way (the buttons are more spaced and bigger than regular SE phones). How I wish SE ditched the flipping boomerang design and went with a clamshell, slider, or candybar model. Oh wait, that’s the W850!

[…] On a more disappointing note, the Kodak V610 I recently won in a photo contest decided to die on me during the baptism - batteries were charged. It never even fell. It was on and then it just .. died. It’s also weird because it charges up but won’t power on. The folks from Kodak are of course going to replace it but nothing is more sad than losing the ability to take photos in your first god daughter’s baptism. Thank god I had a 2MP Sony Ericsson W900i stashed in my pocket. […]
