I really thought this phone could be nice.
i liek the easy to use buttons But from seeing the review .It looks like a big disappointment from camera front.the images looks like painting.
And the dual speakers seems to do no good to the phone.No dedicated camera button and poor camera interface very bad Se.

I know its a Walkman phone, not a camera one, but whats with the camera interface? Thats really a shocker and it makes me not want the phone at all. The W910i has a similar interface to the K850i Cyber-Shot, but the W760i has an interface closer in appearance to the K700i of 3-4 years ago!
Really really crap.

Actually what i forgot to say is the same menus will be in C702 & C902 but better cameras. Guess those phones may be better.

I don't understand what SE's thinking of their Walkman phones.
First, they eliminated AF, macro and flash from camera.
Now, they changed the camera interface from landscape to portrait.
Also, Walkman phone doesn't get good speakers.
Even it getting worse: no video call camera!
The question is: what's the advantage of getting/buying Walkman phone now?
We still can get good music from other series such as Cyber-shot (K850 that has MegaBass), with the proper headset of course.
For GPS we can get it from C702 that has better camera than W760.
C'mon SE, bring back the Walkman to the W800 and W900 era.

The reason for the camera UI change is that there is no camera shutter key on the W760.

... and therefore it's the same as in W580. These two sliders have a lot in common. |

W580i and S500i slider phones neither dont have a shutter...
And have the same vertical camera interface as W760
W850i has a shutter and a horizontal cam interface.
W760 is the first slider in the 7 series, so apparently SE see this phone in the mid/low end range....
Weird.

Um, I think the reason for the portrait-only mode and lack of camera key is that the camera is situated on the sliding part and is unusable while the phone is closed. |

Well perhaps i got a bit excited about nothing really its not as good as i first thought. The only thing i guess i like is the way you can change the main menus but you can do that in C702 & C902. I think that part looks good. The camera part being horizontal on the inside part of the slide reminds me of Samsung camera phones. OH NO.

That's what makes Cyber-shot phones sell. Marketing strategy, segment differentiation.
Now, they changed the camera interface from landscape to portrait.
They did it on W580 too in case you didn't notice.
Also, Walkman phone doesn't get good speakers.
The W550 age is over long long time ago. Still, speaker is not a big deal. Brand is.
Even it getting worse: no video call camera!
For what? You never video-call me. LOL

Who cares. People out there will buy them. I know, neither you nor me is one of the crowd.
We still can get good music from other series such as Cyber-shot (K850 that has MegaBass), with the proper headset of course.
You can get good music experienced from the old-yet-feature-rich K750i.
For GPS we can get it from C702 that has better camera than W760.
SE want people buy both and they are on top 3 playes in 2010. Help them to success.
C'mon SE, bring back the Walkman to the W800 and W900 era.
Oughh.... I miss our old days. Really.
Sorry for my poor English. Wish me luck.
from my observations, sometimes it's better off not knowing. |

No. Both W850 and W910 are enable landscape mode.
Why does W760 have portrait mode only for camera UI?? Because it's successor to W580. IMVVVVHO.

@WhiteEye
What NightBlade meant is that W760 is more like W580, with the lens covered by the back cover when slide closed. So if you want to take pictures, you have to slide it open. Therefore, maybe it will feel awkward to take pictures horizontally like that with the phone's slide open.
Different things with W850 and W910 cause they can take pics in closed slides.
