How good is the W850i?

danceMB · 4 Feb 2007 at 00:03

I have just purchased this phone from CEX yesterday, and have yet to test it properly.

How good is it compared to the latest Nokia's? Does it beat the N series? I did have one, but it keeps freezing so I might sell it once repaired and then keep this one as it seems to be more reliable.

Does it have the same interface as Nokia?

The N series of Nokias are generally considered the weakest range of phones that Nokia has ever come out with.
I cant comment on the W850 because i havnt used one, but i'd imagine that its better than the competing N series phone.

There isn't really a competing N series phone. The N series are all smartphones, the W850 is not. SEs competitor to the N series is the P990.

Doesnt matter if they are smart phones or not.
The N series have direct competitors, wether the competitors are 'smartphones' or not doesnt matter, seeing as 80% of the time, its competitor is better regardless.

Well it doesn't really matter since we're talking about the W850 specifically. The W850 doesn't have a competitor in the N series. Its functionally is better compared to the 6233. They're much of a likeness. The 6233 has the benefit of being cheaper though.

They are a bit thick imo, the W850i, watch out for them liking to power off at random

The 6233 is a better phone than the W850 - my friend has one and agree's¬

Must be true then.

I got the W850i as a replacement for my dead W900i.
The 850i is one of the best phones I have had.
In 4 months it has only been off twice, both times for aircraft travel.
The music player is excellent, the camera is poo though although this is a small problem for me.

I replaced my D600 Samsung with a W850i. I think this is a superb phone. It has a very solid feel to it. Prob best build quality of any phone I have owned. The display is clear as is sound quality. The MP3 player? Fantastic, even with standard headphones. Great for the gym and long train / plane journeys.
The only downside for me is the white background when reading text, The text is a bit small for my eye sight!

Other than that cannot fault it. Very reliable. Had mine since November
