Sony w660i on 3

the bomb

anyone got any feedback on the sony w660i.
saw one in the 3Store in Limerick today, looks really nice but don't know anyone using it.
Also don't know anyone on the network, are they good, coverage etc...
Thanks:)

I am thinking along the same lines, picking up this phone and sell/abandon my Nokia 6151, whose battery life is just a joke. Battery down to half after one day even with minimum usage.

I have read a few reviews about the W660i, saying that it's a great phone, with good battery life, nice walkman implementation, FM radio with RDS and TrackID , and other nice features.

Have anyone seen if any Xtravision are selling this phone? Would like to pick it up with their offer where you get three free DVD's when buying a new phone.

im thinking of getting the w580i...already have the k610i so wanna try out a slide down phone...might get the w660i though looks good..

W580i isn't great. Very flimsy. I much prefer the older W850i.

I got a w660i as an upgrade, i'm currently debating whether I should use this or my w850i. The phones from a usability standpoint are pretty much identical, same UI, same mp3 player. The w660 is definitely prettier, and the screen is somewhat clearer and brighter. The camera is much more responsive, but it doesn't have a light any more, so that's a downside. The w660 is smaller and lighter, the buttons also feel much better to press.

The only downsides for me so far are that it uses the new teeny tiny memory stick format, which will mean forking out for a rather expensive memory stick if I want more than 512 megs of music, despite the fact that I've a bunch of duos at home. And the camera light thing, but I rarely use the camera on my phone, so it's only a slight annoyance.

I don't think it's a worthwhile buy if you want a phone with a good camera-that's not what the w line of phones are about though, so it kind of goes without saying.

Walkman

Picked one up yesterday for my fiancee yesterdat and she loves it.
Track ID with a link to the 3 Music Store is especially "cool", and is much faster then my nokia to load onto Planet 3.
I think it's a steal at €199 with the €100 credit.:D

flodis79

Ah cool, walkman. Does the trackid work on 3pay with the addons?

Walkman

Hey Flodis79, woh don't need any add-on to use trackID.
You just use the link to the musuc store and buy the track:D

flodis79

You need data for the program to be able to connect to the Gracenote database... Perhaps it's online linked to their own music store, which makes it bad, since everything is not in there... Can someone clarify on this?

Walkman

No flodis got no mobile add-on and still worked.
The link to the music store is after it searches the web for title etc...
It's free:D
