Sony Ericsson W760

“Sony Ericsson W760 is a nice attempt at creating an all-purpose slider. It's got all the goodies many users are waiting for.Although in dense urban environments our beta unit had a weakish GPS sensitivity, the amount of GPS applications is commendable - especially for a first try from Sony Ericsson.The Shake Control and SensMe feature worked like a charm and the built-in accelerometer was precise as expected. The integration of YouTube in the Media Center is a welcome change too. The NetFront web browser is as capable and fast as in the web-centric Sony Ericsson K660.All that said, it seems choosing between Sony Ericsson W760 and W910 would be a hard call. The award-winning W910 is more compact and refined, and has a larger screen. With the difference pretty much boiling down to GPS and camera megapixels, making up your mind is a matter of priorities really.”

“Despite the few bugs that were found in our review unit, there was really very little not to like about the Sony Ericsson W760. Its musical talents were handy, the web browser adequate, and the size, weight, and design were all quite pleasing. Its performance in basically every area was quite satisfying.The most appreciated features on the device were the accelerometer and convenient media menu, while the camera put in a solid performance as well. The GPS location-based services were also nice, though potentially the most important use of the GPS, the Navigation application, was not working on our unit. As for things that we really didn't like about the phone? There is nothing that really stands out as bad on the handset. Herein lies the problem - everything about the device is merely average, there are no incredible standout features.Sony Ericsson is marketing the W760 as a media device, a very crowded portion of the market. The W760 has to stand up to a lot of competitors, most with fancy touch screens like the Samsung Instinct, LG Vu, and Apple iPhone. The Sony Ericsson W760's camera is better than most in its market segment, but this is the only place where it can really gain any ground - except, potentially, on price.For this reason, we are giving the device just a Recommended rating. For all intents and purposes the Sony Ericsson W760 on its own is probably worth a highly recommended, but it just doesn't impress enough for us to put it at the top of the food chain. If the W760 is within your budget and photography is important to you, this is a great device, but there are also many other fine alternatives out there to consider.”
