[edit] Features

The W810i is part of Sony Ericsson's Walkman line of mobile phones.[1] While being similar to the W800, the W810 has benefited from several improvements. Most notably are quad band connectivity, EDGE support for faster wireless data transfers, a slightly enhanced display, but slightly reduced battery life.

Other features include a full function internet browser, 2 mega pixel digital camera with auto-focus, the HPM-70 stereo headset, Memory Stick PRO Duo slot, 20 MB of internal memory, and a music-only mode where phone functions are fully turned off, this mode also allows the phone to be used as a Walkman in areas mobile phones would usually be barred from, such as airplanes and hospitals, in addition to providing longer battery-life. The phone supports MP3, AMR, MIDI, IMY, EMY, WAV (16kHz maximum sample rate) and AAC audio formats and MPEG-4 and 3GPP video formats.

While official support for Memory Stick PRO Duo is capped at 4GB, many users have reported using 8GB sticks with full functionality (read and write).

[edit] Cosmetics

There are many small cosmetic changes from the W800, but most noticeable is the absence of the classic joystick that has been found on the majority of Sony Ericsson mobile phones since the T68i. This has been replaced by a D-pad designed to improve ease of use when listening to music and to provide a longer life to the keypad (as the classic joystick tended to fail due to dust). The casing color has changed from burnt orange and cream to satin black. The sliding camera lens cover has also been omitted completely. However, a K750i or W800 back cover (with lens cover) will fit with minor modifications.

The Sony Ericsson W810 is available as the W810i for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and North America, and the W810c for Mainland China. The W810 was released worldwide in April 2006.
