'It's often difficult to find the sweet spot for both the earpiece and microphone.'
'It's slender and slab-like, comfortable in the hand, with the usual full QWERTY keyboard and a bright 160-by-240 color screen that looks especially good in sunlight.'
'Still, excellent ergonomics go a long way towards mitigating this as the handset feels neither especially thick nor heavy when held.'
'Design At 109 x 24 x 49mm and weighing 148g, the W900i is probably one of the larger handsets in Sony Ericsson's arsenal today and certainly not one that slips into tight pockets'

'The Sony Ericsson W550 snaps stills at a resolution of 1.3 Megapixels with good white balance, and performs well under poorly lit conditions when using the photo light.'
