Let’s start with the greatest deficiency, which is related to the camera. No matter the 3.2 megapixels, no matter the menu from the Cyber-Shot models if there is no autofocus. In my opinion the absence of it makes the high resolution completely unnecessary, since without the autofocus the pictures just can’t reach a high enough quality. This causes problems mostly when taking pictures of near objects.
A regrettable part of Sony Ericson’s company policy is that they want to separate their portfolio of products into musical and photographical phones by any means necessary. This results in Cyber-Shot models usually lacking the Megabass function and Walkman phones without autofocus. To tell the truth nobody really knows the reason for this, but it’s a fact the user gets to such a choice in which it is sometimes quite hard to come to a decision. In the case of W890i the manufacturer hasn’t succeeded in supplying a decent video recording solution, as it has remained at a resolution of 176x144 pixels.

The musical part is all right of course. The phone is equipped with the media player menu and new Walkman software known from the K850i and W910i models. The one thing missing from it is the feature from the two previously mentioned phones which makes it possible to rotate the picture on the display according to the phone’s rotation. We can get the phone’s software to do this manually if we have a perverted attraction to landscape mode. What however is quite a likable feature is that when the music player is running in the background, the animation of the main screen changes according to the current theme.
The music files can be sorted by ID3 tags as appropriate and the tracks can have “moods”, but the phone’s software is not capable of setting these moods, they can be altered after being uploaded to the PC. The equalizer is of course present, we have the Megabass function and the phone can handle podcasts and audio books too. Although we didn’t receive any headset with the phone, the HPM-70 from home perfectly fitted my needs. This is what I have been using with the standard, RDS capable radio too.
