Sony Ericsson W950 Pink
Sony Ericsson says the W950 pink is the “thinnest flip phone available on the market” today. Indeed, the phone measures in at a slim 10.5 millimeters. Unlike some cell phones, the W950 pink mostly disappears in your pocket or purse and won’t bulge. Its unique flip covers the keypad for a minimalist look.
The screen is small - it measures a mere 1.8in diagonally, and on paper it seems it is a bit short on pixels at 176 x 220. While the screen is a little blocky to look at, Sony Ericsson pulls of its usual trick of producing a clear and bright display. So while more pixels would have been nice, this screen is still good enough to live with.
The front buttons are designed in a very flowing, curvy arrangement. Three of them are marked up for music control (play/pause, back and forwards). The other two are unmarked but are vertical scrollers and they sit within a circle that also incorporates the pause/play button and provides a highlight of colour against the phone's mostly black fascia.
With the exception of the d-pad, the phone's keypad has large and easy to press buttons with a very blocky, rectangular design. The d-pad, on the other hand, has an elongated shape that made it hard for us to press the down direction without hitting the center select key.
This select key is also depressed into the d-pad slightly, making it even harder to press on its own without using the tip of your finger. The d-pad also sits hard up against the ridge of the screen on top, making it hard to press the up direction.
The rest of the phone's body is very simple, with a Walkman shortcut key and charging port on the left edge, and volume control keys on the right.
Sony Ericsson W950 pink's Walkman player can easily be accessed and operated even without opening its flip cover. With Walkman on Top, key MP3 functions including Play, Pause and Scroll are outside the phone's flip cover so you can use it just like you would a standalone MP3 player.
It makes it straightforward to transfer music onto your phone. Whether your favourite tracks are on a CD or on your computer, all you need to do with the phone's intuitive Media Manager software is drag your tracks from your computer onto your phone via a USB cable. You can store up to 470 tracks and once your music is onto your phone, it's also easy to navigate around it with the Walkman player.
With the Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS205, you can stream the music on your phone wirelessly to your ears! Your phone can be in your bag and you can still listen to the music, see which song is playing and take calls.
