A pathetic phone with poor hardware and software. it’s software is cluttered with thousand and one bugs. charger stopped working within a week of purchase. camera quality is bad. battery is ummm…read others’ opinion. and their customer service is as bad if not more as their phone quality.
everyday when i use my sony ericsson i wonder what on earth is keeping this company alive. superb pathetic!!

January 31st, 2010
Is every thing really that bad? I was thinking about getting it, but now im not so sure.
February 2nd, 2010
@ lozza
DO NOT get this piece of crap!
Get a NOKIA XpressMusic instead.
February 4th, 2010
A shoddy phone, even the slider doesn’t particularly ’slide’ very well.
Saying that, for it’s price and design compared to others on the market, it’s the best out there.
Just shows that phone manufacturers have got other and things on their mind. e.g touch screen/smartphone
February 7th, 2010
This phone has the worst battery life ever
I took it back to Vodaphone who said they have had no complaints aboutthe phone or battery & would not swap it for a different model.
was given a new battery by vodaphone & yet again same low battery
best thing for this phone….. a hammer !!!
best thing for vodaphone customer service…listen to what the public say & not what the computer says !!!
February 8th, 2010

February 19th, 2010
I THINK THIS IS A VERY GOOD PHONE.IT HAS ALL THE FEATURES THAT WE WANT IN SUCH A LESS PRICE.THE ONLY DISADVANTAGE IS IT,S INTERNAL MEMORY IS VERY LESS.OTHERWISE THIS IS A VERY GOOD PHONE.

February 22nd, 2010
Well.. i don’t have this phone but I can tell you this..
1. If you want some battery life.. you have to format the damn thing…
2. It is an average phone.. you can’t expect it to cook for you if you got it for free.. or for a dollar…
3. It is made for music.. it is an WALKMAN.. not a CAMERAMAN.. or DISPLAYMAN…
4. If you had an Iphone before this.. it’s very normal to seem china-made or whatever…
So if you want to buy it.. go in a store play with it.. if you like how it feels.. buy it and have fun
February 25th, 2010
well i was wonderinf what kind od videos should i download to my cellphone cuz everytime i put a video on my cell it says that the file can not be read….and thats really annoying me!!!….any help??
February 28th, 2010
The worst thing about it is the battery, it needs recharging everyday without listening to music! if you listen to music it needs recharging 3 times a day! Standby battery is supposed to hold for 425 hours but thats the worst lie I’ve ever heard, standby battery is 42hours only! it seems they had a 5stuck next to that and was a typo error! what’s next? they would tell you it has 10megapixels but you get only 1!

sony ericsson w205 how to change setting application and games in save memory card
March 8th, 2010
gud phone. great music player.o..k camera..problem is it hangs n becms slow often..cute font..better than nokia any day.. cheap n best for basic walkman n music lovers…
March 14th, 2010
Just bought this phone on special. The radio & stuff is all good the only problem i noticed is the battery is always running low. Have to charge it every day. Was going to take it back but now i see that the battery must die quickly in every w205 phone. Besides the battery it’s good.
March 15th, 2010
i totally agree with mr victor. bought it recently mainly for music purpose and its serving me well.. for that price,i can say its the best music phone u can get out there..basically,if u r looking for a good music phone with low budget and with simple functions,this is the one that u should get..its not the loudness of the music that we want but the clarity of the music..and i can say that the sound is clear and precise..
March 28th, 2010
im getting this phone tommorrow and i really hope it is good
March 30th, 2010
I have this phone and i LOVE it.
Great for mucis and etc! But you have to buy the memoy card seperate >:(
Also coz of it’s internet settings I get free internet! So I can go to faebook and stuff whenever I want. So awesome !!
March 30th, 2010

March 31st, 2010
I REALLY HATE THIS PHONE I SWEAR!!!
i couldn’t downloaded anything!!
i couldn’t played the music in music player, i always created playlist
then it such a loooow phone!
the camera isn’t good at all!!
the slide, i didn’t like it ><
the only one reason why i didn't threw this phone is: the sound still good for a music player, and then i need handphone!
April 12th, 2010
I hate this phone and regret getting it everyday.
April 15th, 2010
I am with Viktor on this one. You pay what you get for.
I paid 60 euro for the phone and got 50 euro credit for free.
I won’t complain but yes it isn’t like my Nokia I had before but at least i won’t cry when it ends up in the washing machine LOL (not at the time I swear)
April 21st, 2010

April 25th, 2010
I bought this phone and i love it, the battery is alright on there if you charge it for 2 hours or overnight
its better than an lg cookie for sure
April 28th, 2010
Appalling phone
-texting is a nightmare, predicts the previous word you used instead of the most common word.
Freezes regularly and is very slow to react.
Sound is good though

This phone is one of the best music phone i ever saw.It gives very good sound display also very good and clear.for just 3,500 it is the best phone launched from ericsson.I previously used Nokia 5130xpress music and w205 serving me very better than that phone.Battery also good giving minimum 40 hrs battery backup even we listen music continously.Go for this phone if you want a good music editiom or planning to get xpresss music
May 10th, 2010

June 14th, 2010
this is a very cool phone frm Sony Ericsson.
Yeah i got some dissatisfaction from the company which is in a lot of publicity but still it is my first and best phone……Display is good….and what a sound…The Samsung star wifi has also lower sound from this phone….So please buy this phone……..
June 14th, 2010
Sound quality is also very clear…………….
June 16th, 2010
Is there anyway of getting better battery life out of it? I mean you can buy phone’s for £10 these days capable of lasting a week on stand by, why is this such a feeble exception? Because other than that it’s a decent phone, particularly for the price.
June 21st, 2010
This phone has great audio quality and it is very loud but unfortunately you would not be able to save java apps on the m2 memory stick. And it does has a tendency to lag too but this phone is pretty good for what i paid for- around 60 euro with a free 2gb m2 memory stick. Camera is bad though.
June 22nd, 2010
TERRIBLE. software errors, keeps freezing. if you like texting this phone isn’t for you. its very very slow and cant keep up even if you are not so fast at texting. predictive text is awful, words list is totally wrong. camera is rubbish so dont bother if you want it for pics. i’m lucky it keeps freezing or i wouldnt be able to take it back just because the phone is no good.
June 27th, 2010
I bought this phone because of its compact size and I like slider phones. The phone has great sound but the back casing scratches easily comparing to other phones. The battery is also very poor compared with the w350i. I bought the nokia 5130 music express, for a little more. A much better buy.
June 28th, 2010
Hi this is rajasekhar my friend got this mobile this is the worst mobile in sony ericsson.
July 28th, 2010
Better than all the other cellphones in this range….GREAT features at a comparably CHEAPER price….although the display and camera quality is average; the great audio clarity and its awesome looks makes it a great buy for someone having a tifht budget…!!
August 21st, 2010
niiice phone for people who dont need newest stuff like internet and the most fast and beautiful games, you can download many games from internet who just work all though you cant save them on memory card without the update from the sony ericsson site, music works great and there is niice sound especially through ear phones its great sound , i like this phone verry much its just simpel and cheap, and works great for simpel users -=D
