Video calling is supported, as the W890i is a 3G phone. The camera has been upgraded too to 3.2 megapixels, but lacks autofocus. Additional music features include TrackID™ which lets you identify a song (name, artist and album) from a few seconds recording, and the PlayNow™ download service which lets you buy and download MP3 ringtones from your phone.
We're really pleased to see the addition of an FM radio too - a must for any serious music phone. Managing playlists is easy, transferring music from PC to phone is quick using either USB or Bluetooth, and with a 2 Gbyte memory stick included in the sales package, there's room for up to 500 songs.
The latest Walkman player software is the best in the business, and the sound quality is high, especially if you plug in a stereo headset or use an optional Bluetooth wireless stereo headset. Musically speaking, this Walkman phone delivers everything that we could want. The metallic finish gives a feeling of quality missing from the cheaper Walkman phones. Available in a choice of colours - Sparkling Silver or Mocha Brown, it's a smart and good-looking phone. At 10mm it's one of the thinnest phones around and is super-lightweight at 78g. The W890i looks very similar to its predecessor - it's a classic design superslim phone with a user-friendly keypad and a nice 5-way navigation key, plus dedicated music keys. The W880i faced some criticism because it lacked an FM radio and had a horrible keypad, but Sony have been listening hard, because these issues have been fixed in the W890i. Released in February 2008, the W890i is an upgraded version of the superslim W880i Walkman phone.
