      I had the W810i and the W890.
      I loved the size and build of the W890, though it was UNBEARABLY unreliable, it froze and went hot several times every day.
      These phones were well made but the software was horrendously unstable.
      This is why I've NEVER bought a Sony phone since and never will.

    It's crazy to look at phones from the 2005 - 2010 era, especially across different brands.
    People were truly designing phones and it was something you could identify with. Nowadays everybody carries the same, boring touchscreen bricks.
    Sad really.

    Looking and remembering these phones, Sony was (and still is) on another level when it comes to product design. Using coloured aluminium to match screen, beautiful blend of plastic and metal way back in 2005. Steve Jobs was very much influenced by Sony design.

    Had the W800i. Legendary phone. I owned it from 2007-2010. Still got the one before that k750i. Those phones, almost everyone had one around the time. If I remember after 2011, BlackBerry took over the market & then came those iphones. I remember one of my friend being in college only guy with a iPhone 4.

    Sony has always been a Class... It had the best features and after sony came up with one of the best sound, camera and even ear phones then the rest of the company took over made similar products... But still nothing can beat SONY...... I really miss those walman series.... Since every brand has come up with the old mobile styles with new version.. Hopefully sony comes up with one of its Best.....

    @lindsayfisher2623 4 года назад +2

    W550i was my first phone. My dad got it for me and little did I know it would be one of the most memorable phones I've ever owned. W910i was my next phone which I desperately wanted but was desperately disappointed with because it restarted almost every time I touched it.. probably something to do with the accelerometer. Complained about it and eventually got the W595 which served its purpose. I always envied after the W850i / W950i / W995. I was like 13 and so interested in gsmarena .. what a place to be.

      My first self-bought phone was w595, I did painting for money and I was really happy when I finally got that phone. I remember that screen rotated sideways and when holding volume buttons, the tracks would change. Damn those were fine days... 😭

    I am a huge fan of these beautiful phones. Now the phones are boring.

    1:00 - W810i .. By far, my favorite chocolate bar cell phone ever, bar none.
    I still have it.
    There are just no 3g/edge carriers anymore or I'd still use it.

    The w800 camera features was dope for a phone. It had manual sliding covers and a button to take picture like a camera with additional bright flash. So many good times with ut.

    I never had one of these in my childhood but I love watching it 😊. I'm just fascinated by the technology of early 2000
