Product description

Sony Ericsson brings in the new W200 Walkman phone - and SE calls it the Walkman phone for everyone. With enough memory to store about four albums, the phone comes bundled with Disc2Phone music management software. The Sony W200 is equipped with an FM radio receiver for additional entertainment, which lets you store 20 stations of your choice. A dedicated Walkman key is available on the device. By default, you get a 128MB Memory Stick Micro (M2), which is upgradeable to 1GB.

User reviews

  Not an AT&T approved product, 2008-10-20
Although this product is AT&T "compatible", the seller fails to say that this product is not AT&T "approved". When attempting to activate, it was discovered that it costs much more to use an "unapproved" device.

  Great Scott, it's a Sony!!!, 2008-10-19
the purchase was a gift that was ecstatically received and is still very much appreciated...the only bummer was that i didn't notice that it could only transfer info via infra-red; i thought that Bluetooth was a given...that said, it's still an awesome product!well done!...Shipping was on time too!

  Good stuff, 2008-10-06
This is a pretty solid phone. The one I got came from Mexico. It still was easy to switch it to english, but some of the stuff is still in spanish, such as the games. Not really a big deal to me, though. It's pretty simple to use and everything. No real complaints as of yet.

  Very Misleading, 2008-09-29
My girlfriend had an iphone that she ran over (dont ask how)and i bought her this phone to hold her over till she can afford a new one. When i got this everything is in spanish. All the books and cd is in spanish. The phone itself was in spanish. I finally found the settings and changed it to english, but all the alerts and alarms were in spanish still. I got little to no reception. 90% of the day the phone would read, emergency calls only. It feels very cheap like your gonna break it just dialing a phone number. My girlfriend used it for 2 days and i finally threw it away. On the plus side it did come with headphones and lets you download quite a bit of music to it. Also the wall charger was these two thin prongs, but came with an adaptor to fit in regular outlets. I dont know what country uses this plug in but i can make one guess. I dont recommend this phone for anyone unless your in dire need of a cheap phone fast.

  Misleading advertising, 2008-09-22
So I ordered this phone a few days before the latest warning comments were written. My phone seems to be from Russia, or somewhere else they use Cyrillic script. The charger provided does not fit US wallsockets. That is the dealbreaker right there. If I hadn't been replacing a Sony Ericsson w810i and still had a charger that fit, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EVEN CHARGE THE PHONE. It was simply luck on my part that this phone could even work for me. !! Thankfully, when I inserted my SIM card, it let me choose English as my language of choice, and everything is working fine, due to me having a correct charger.

However, I'm sure some of you wouldn't be so lucky. I'd recommend ordering this phone thorough the official Sony Ericsson website for just about... 15$ more, I think, and not having to waste time and energy on this seller.

As for the phone itself, I'd give it a 4 star, due to crappy camera and annoying center/control button, but I feel it's more important to warn others of this seller.

But alas, there's still no word on the LG Prada II launching in the States, even as this follow-up to the first LG Prada phone debuted in Europe yesterday. Is it fair? Heck no.

    I really, really want to like Verizon's new BlackBerry Storm.  I want to love it.  Why?  Well, competition is good, and in the year and a half since the original iPhone launched, no other phone has been able to match the performance of its touchscreen or Web browser.  HTC's Touch Pro and G1, and Samsung's Epix and Eternity have impressed me as of late, but none of these devices offers the fingers-on...
