Sony Ericsson W350 Ice Blue
Posted by: CameraPhonesPlaza in Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson is a well-known company, especially for their multimedia headsets. Among the best-known are Cybershot and Walkman edition, the first series for quality cameras and the second, for enhanced music experience. One model of the last kind of category is Sony Ericsson w350 ice blue, but you can also choose the classic black design if you are not that into the blue color.

The phone is popular thanks to its Walkman music player, the brilliant display and the set features. But this is not among the best phones from the series, as the build quality is not solid and the controls are not very well-thought. If you are into the capabilities the phone offers and all, you can surely give it a try, but you should know there are other models, which are definitely better.

Regarding design, you can see for yourself that everything is straight and stiff, the corners are sharp and the phone looks like a rectangular. Most of the Sony Ericsson mobile phones adopt this style. The phone weights only 2.8 ounces and it is pretty compact as well. You will be able to slip it in your pocket easily. As mentioned earlier, the display is attractive and it is worth taking in account. It measures 1.8” and it has a pixel resolution of 262x144, revealing clear and sharp graphics. You can choose from several menu styles and pick the one you like the most. But unfortunately, there is nothing else to say about the overall design, at least about the positive aspects. Being designed out of plastic, the phone feels a tad cheap and flimsy when you hold it in your hands. If you thought at first that the phone looks like a MP3 player, then you are not far from the truth. In fact, the flap protects the navigation controls, so when you are listening to music, you can keep the flap closed so you will not accidentally press any buttons. When you open the flap, the headset has a candy-bar shape actually.

The ides used by Sony Ericsson w350 ice blue is not bad at all, providing some dedicated Walkman controls, the company did not manage to put it in action correctly. The buttons are flat to the surface and they don’t feel very sturdy at all. If you open and close the flap too many times, it doesn’t give you the sturdy design you might have liked. If you feel bothered by the flap, you can remove it completely, but then the phone looks to simple and kind of naked. Moreover, the buttons on the keypad are not any better. There is a five-way toggle which doubles as shortcut for some pre-defined features, and the other controls which also feel flimsy. The good thing in this case is the large size of the numbers on the keys and the bight backlighting.

On the right side of the phone you will find the volume rocker and on the left side is the dedicated Walkman control. If the phone is thin, imagine how the controls are. On the back side you can find the speaker and the camera lens. You can improve your music albums, because there is a memory stick pro located beneath the battery cover. Some more features include: 1000 contacts in the phone book, 26 polyphonic ringtones, alarm clock, calendar, notepad, timer, speakerphone, calculator, SMS and MMS, vibrate mode and a voice memo recorder.
