Audio, multimedia

We have a great multimedia menu too. This has been the same at W960i too; browsing between icons placed in the center of a dark background is proprietary of newer Sony Ericsson phones. The handset places pictures in a new folder every month, and it’s nice that index pictures assigned to these folders change. Entering a folder we can start a slideshow, where we can set its mood too, and then the software (Xpic Story) plays an appropriate music track during the show, while the pictures also change with an effect according to the set mood.

The musical part is quite fine. The software sorts the tracks by ID3 tags. This time we can’t assign a mood to the tracks; there is an animation of red dots moving upwards during music playback. In the settings we can find an equalizer, where we can choose from several presets and there is Megabass too. Besides random and shuffled playback we also have timed stopping, so the music shuts up by itself after a given time.

There can be no complaints about sound quality. Even though there is a single speaker on the back of G900, this is quite loud and music has a good quality for a mobile phone. Of course all the music playback stuff has its meaning when using a headset. I can only say positive things this time too, although I still used the earplug headset I got with W800i, as the one included in the package is not the usual Sony Ericsson accessory that can be taken apart.

The headset can be used for other stuff too, as it is required to make the built-in FM radio work. We can store 20 stations; RDS is supported, so this is also okay. The TrackID service is also here, which helps us finding out the title and the artist of the track currently being played. Let’s mention the sound recorder too, which although can be accessed during talking on the phone, but it’s not willing to work at such times.
