Sony has created a kind of trust among mobile users and so has Nokia. Both are giants of mobile manufacturing and create models useful in so many ways to all of us. The Sony Ericsson W890i is a great 3G phone with some wonderful features in it. Many people who wish to buy this phone want to know how far this phone can compete contemporaries. Let us compare the phone with a very good model of its caliber called Nokia N75 and then see what is the bare truth. Sony Ercisson W890i is a smart phone with GSM network support of 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900. You have also the HSDPA 2100 network for fast web access and 3G video calling. The phone is very light compared to Nokia N75 and just weighs 79g.
The gadget is equipped with GPRS Class 10 (4+1/3+2 slots) having speed of 32 – 48 kbps, HSCSD, EDGE class of 10, 236.8 kbps, HSDPA, 3.6 Mbps speed. But there is no WiFi in this phone. The Bluetooth and USB port enables the user to connect the phone with other devices easily. More than that the Sony Ericsson W890i has facilities for SMS, MMS, EMS, Email and Instant Messaging. There is a WAP 2.0/xHTML browser and the HTML (NetFront 3.4) system along with RSS reader. The JAVA MIDp supports those who are game freaks and always want their fingers exercise over the keypads.
Moreover you have a 3.15 MP camera with 2048×1536 pixels and video recording. There is secondary videocall camera also. The media player of the phone is called Walkman player 3.0 and you can imagine what can be the quality of music in this phone. The talk time of the phone is about 9 h 30 min which is a very good option very rare in high end phones.
All these features are quite impressive. And if we compare this phone with Nokia N75 which is one of the better phones of Nokia N series we find that n75 fails in its weight features, battery back up, camera features and others. But the N75 beats Sony Ericsson W890i in areas like 2.4 inches of screen, 3D sound stereo speakers, ARM 9 220 MHz processor, OS platform of Symbian OS 9.1, S60 rel. 3.0u, document viewer, photo editor and few others.
