5 out of 5 stars Sony W760a   December 4, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I purchased the SONY W760a, for myself over a month ago. After months of being nagged about getting a new phone, I was very pleased with how quickly it arrived. It came with english instructions and in minutes it was up and running. Its been working great and the nagging ( about needing a new cell phone ) hasn't been heard since. Great price / good phone, wish more things could be that easy !!!

Not too bad of a phone, Sony has quit including any cables, headphones or or accessory memory cards (nothing at all) Glad I still had all mine (in good working order from my Sony W810).
The phone operation is pretty easy, nothing too hard to figure out. Accessory memory card placement is in kind of a bad spot right on the top of the phone, so if your phone slides in a case, it can come open, and the card 'WILL' pop out. But, just slide in the case top down. (Gonna get me one of those rubberized form fitting cases real soon, should prevent this from happening at all) A few too many applications and useless games that are only trial. Recommend wiping the out of box apps, and settings, and starting clean (plenty of how to's just Google it)
A nice improvement over the 580, MHO.

I have had this phone for almost a week. After exploring the features I guess this is really a good phone for the price.

Pros
3.2 MP camera -- the photos are real good when taken in daylight.
very interactive -- has haptic feedback
call clarity -- excellent
Great voice recognition for recorded commands

Cons
lack of flash for camera
proprietary head set (C'mon Sony include 3.5 mm head set jack)
keys looks too plastic

I bought this phone for two main reasons:

I wanted a slider so that I could answer/hang-up by opening and closing the phone ONLY - unfortunately there is no way to disable the keypad for call answering/rejecting (or if there is I haven't found it) so when removing the phone from a belt pouch I hang up on about 50% of my inbound calls even when the keypad is 'locked' - stupid design for a slider in my opinion.

I thought having FM radio would be good to have (for situations like getting stuck shopping in a mall with my wife); problem is that the FM radio ONLY works if you have a WIRED headset (not included). WTF do I want a hard-wired headset for on a Bluetooth phone?

Other complaints:
- no standard headphone jack so you either have to use a bulky adapter or use Sony headphones specifically designed for their bulky proprietary jack (which can't be used while charging the phone).

- AT&T fills the menu up with crap that you can't get rid of without de-branding the phone.

- AT&T won't allow a full-length mp3 to be used as a ringtone - only about 275k is allowed (which isn't documented anywhere). De-branding the phone solves that problem.

All that being said, the sound quality is good, the speaker is decent, reception is good, and the phone has some good features. The camera is okay but not great for a 3MP sensor and takes too long (~5 seconds) to 'warm up'.

Needed Accessories:
- Sony's relatively expensive Memory Stick Micro (instead of the cheaper, more standard micro SD)
- A headphone adapter if you want to use normal headphones and/or the FM radio.




5 out of 5 stars Incredible Phone!   November 18, 2008

I've owned several Motorola phones in the past and was hesitant to switch to a Sony Ericsson. Since I was going to be stuck with `this' phone for the next 2-years, I spent a good amount of time researching several phones (LG, Motorola, SE, Iphone, and Samsung) and found this one was prefect. CNET gives it a very high rating!! (BTW-I would have loved to get the IPhone but I didn't want to pay the extra monthly service charges the phone requires and as a `phone' it is quite large to carry around.)

I wanted a Slide Phone but not one that was too bulky & thick and also one that had a key-pad that would (1) last and (2) had numbers that were not too small. Surprisingly CNET reviewed several phones that did not meet those simple criteria.

While I waited for my phone to be delivered, I saw the previous reviews. I became very concerned about the choice I had made. Well, I have had this phone for 2 weeks and have not seen any of the problems the other reviewers listed. I bought a 4G M2 card and have loaded a good amount of music and images. The great thing is, the computer software is free on SE's site, where Motorola made you pay for theirs.

So, to say the least, I love this phone. I LOVE the walkman 'SensMe' feature, the fact you can shake the phone to shuffle or go to the next song, and you can lift or lower the phone to change the volume... Not to mention, for the size you get a great camera and AAC/MP3 player all in one! It's prefect! Also, if I want to add web-access, I can add it later but I am not committed to an additional monthly service plan like I would have been with the I-Phone. Honestly, the list of what I love goes on.

Also, I did send SE an e-mail suggesting they read the reviews on Amazon's site. SE also provides software upgrades for their phones so if there is an issue, hopefully they would fix it. I have received an e-mail back informing me they have not had those issues reported as of yet but would look into them.

I HIGHLY recommend this phone! And it easily deserves the 5-stars I have given it!!!
