Sony Ericsson W350 Review

Messaging:

Here, besides the options for writing the standard SMS and MMS you will find emails, My Friends (IM) and RSS reader. For the emails, you have the options to manually setup more than one account and if it is POP3 or IMAP. For each account there are additional options such as signature, encrypting, and the period at which the mail is checked automatically.

My Friends is a chat messenger that combines your contacts from the other popular messengers (including MSN, ICQ, AOL, and Yahoo) in one shared program on the telephone.



Connectivity:

The Bluetooth 2.0 and the data cable included in the package are used for local connectivity. In the first option the speed is much slower. The phone also has support for A2DP, which allows it to transfer stereo sound wirelessly. The cable connection lets you select between: Phone Mode, used for synchronization (manufacturer software needed) and Data transfer, indicating the card as a mass storage device. However, in both cases, the large file (music) transfer is very slow.

The Internet browser that is characteristic for the manufacturer is Access NetFront. In our case it is version 3.3 and it could not load the heavy Phonearena.com. Nevertheless, we had no trouble logging in Blogger, Wordpress, Facebook mobile and other simpler sites. There are a few visualization options and they do a good job: zoom in/out, Smart fit and text only. Overall, this is a very good browser for an entry level music phone.
