Review: I think that this review is totally unfair to the W610i, it's a brilliant handset and one of the best Walkman handsets i've ever owned. I have had the W300i, W810i, W610i and I now have the W890i. Barr the W810i it's the only Walkman to come with flash and auto-focus and the camera quality in superb! I also have the K850i and it's not as good as that but I wouldn't expect it to be, it beats the W890i! the layout is brilliant and I can use the keys easily. This is a brilliant phone and in my opinion the best
Pros: Excellent camera, great design, brilliant Walkman 2.0 player, lovely features, RDS, PlayNow, TrackID etc.
Cons: The battery cover does creak from time to time
Score: 10/10

Review: I can see what you mean about the keypad. I went into a shop and had a play with it. The keys are far too small and not spaced far enough apart. On the plus side, everybody's saying its music player has excellent sound quality and is easy to use. However, it's only an MP3 player, unlike Nokia phones this one has no radio.

Since I do a lot of texting the keypad would be an extreme annoyance to me. I would have given this phone a "Very poor" score if it weren't for its reportedly good music player.
Pros: Good music player
Cons: Poor keypad
Score: 5/10

Buttons a little fiddly
