Sony Ericsson W350 Review

Interface:

The W350 uses old generation software, which we know from models such as W880 and W380. Nothing new will puzzle you on the home screen. The background can be replaced by static pictures and flash animations. The main menu is in the standard grid and the view can be changed only by using flash themes, and not independently.



Phonebook:

The phonebook stores up to 1000 contacts or 2500 phone numbers at the most. The search option does not allow you to search by the second name of a contact. For each contact, you can enter up to 5 numbers, a few emails, picture, ringtone, address, date of birth and additional information.



Organizer:

You can have up to 5 alarms and each one can be set for different days of the week and assigned a separate ringtone. In Tasks, there is an option for entering an event or a call to be made with the option to add a reminder. The coded notes are pointless, because even if you enter a wrong password, you can see their titles or delete them, unlike LG where the notes are seen after entering the correct one, which we think is the better option. The rest of the functions as Notes, Timer, Countdown timer, Unit converter and Calculator are the standard ones.

The Calendar can be viewed for a month, week, or a day; the latter option shows the events, set for the particular day, and it enables you to add new options. When you want to add appointments, you select the starting time, duration and the reminder’s time. You can include details about the venue of the event, as well as a description. You have the option of setting it as an All day event (all birth dates from the contacts list are added as such) and to include recurrence options (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly).


W350 has only 14 MB of built-in memory, but the 512 MB M2 card included in the package makes up for that. If that’s not enough for you, you can always get a larger one as long as it is from the same type.
