The Sony Ericsson W205 is a solid slider Walkman mobile phone with all the features you would expect from the great brand of Sony Ericsson. This phone comes with a stylish slide opening designed casing combined with a variety of integrated music and communication focused features.

Looks wise, the W205 is not a bad looking device with all the standard Walkman styling seen on many other mobile phones in the Sony Ericsson range. As a slider phone, the Sony Ericsson W205 is quite compact and thus easy to hold, carry and use. Givens Its dimensions of 92 x 47 x 16.4mm, this mobile phone will fit in the users pocket for carrying purposes. And it comes in three colored casings including Ambient Black, Sakura Pink, Windy Blue which make this phone more attractive in appearance. You can choose any color that fits your taste. As to the built quality, the Sony Ericsson W205 feels very flimsy and the phone itself is very lightweighing only 96 g and has a distinct plastic feel to it. However, that doesn't mean it is not robust. It certainly feels hardy enough to withstand some knocks and bumps.

Furthermore, the Sony Ericsson W205 ...
... is equipped with a 1.8 inch TFT screen which can display more than 65,000 colors at a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. Though it is a bit smaller compared to other wider screen mobile phones, will be enough to satisfy your basic needs. This new slider walkmanphone from Sony Ericsson supports a complete package of entertainment features and has the power to set up playlists to ensure you have the right music on any occasion. You can get most of your best music and favorite radio channels with its Walkman player, FM radio and TrackID music recognition. However, there are two points should be presented in terms of music play: one annoyance is that there is no a standard 3.5 mm audio jack, which means you can only use the inadequate mobile phone handset; another problem is the limited storage. If you want to store images, or indeed music or anything else, you'll need to resort to Memory Stick Micro cards as there is only 5MB internal memory. This mobile phone can support a 2GB card, which I think is enough to store many hours of music or hundreds of photos..

The Sony Ericsson W205 also comes with an integrated 1.3 megapixel camera which allows you to capture still photos and video footage on this stylish music phone. The camera feature comes with a lens which is located at the back of the mobile phone and it supports a 2.2 x digital zoom function which allows you to zoom in or out when taking a shot.

The W205 is capable of basic web browsing since it comes with a built in Internet browser. You can access the Opera Web browser from this mobile phone's main menu and get connected to internet within moments. However with no 3G connectivity and given the screen size it can become more of a challenge and seems more trouble than it's worth. In terms of connectivity, this mobile phone doesn't do badly given the price rang it belongs to. It has Bluetooth connectivity allowing you to transfer files quickly and easily. And you can truly mobile through a USB connection from a PC sync. A fitted battery comes with the phone which is easily recharged via the power adapter provided. It can provide up to four hundred & twenty five hours of standby time and up to nine hours of talk time.
