Sony Ericsson W830i Review

Sony Ericsson has included the 830i under the Walkman brand. The Sony Ericsson W830i is actually a special adapted EDGE version of the Sony Ericsson W850i. The handset which is of slider form factor has to work on its coolness quotient since it has to appeal to the youth. The W830i will be available in white and black colors. Irrespective of the internal memory that music lovers always seem to run out of, Sony Ericsson has taken a wise decision by throwing in a 1GB memory stick PRO Duo in the box of the W830i itself. The Walkman player 2.0 which has been installed on the Sony Ericsson W830i simplifies navigation through music genres, playlists, individual songs or music albums.
