Reviews of the Sony Ericsson W518a Walkman (AT&T)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Sony Ericsson W518a has great music quality, a brilliant display, and a respectable feature set.
The Bad: The Sony Ericsson W518a's call quality wasn't perfect, and its controls and keypad were difficult to use. Also, the phone is rather sluggish.
The Bottom Line: The Sony Ericsson W518a lives up to its Walkman name, but call quality and internal performance didn't quite measure up.
