Finally Back to Sony Ericsson
Sections: Uncategorized Apr 14th, 2006 5 Comments
After a year of struggling through the software nightmare that is the Motorola Razr I’ve finally went out and got something new. Tired of the flip form factor I really wanted to get back to either a candy-bar style phone or try one of the new sliders. I also needed at least a 2mp camera and auto-focus and all the manual controls of a consumer point and shoot. And above all I needed a phone with excellent software and tight integration with Mac OSX. Oh and at least an Edge data connection. And since the Nokia N80 is (A) delayed and (B) going to cost over $600 my choice was pretty clear: the Sony Ericsson W810.
