Menu
Although the 176 x 220 pixels display is not large, but it’s clearly visible thanks to TFT technology. On W350i – just like other SE devices – themes can change the icons, there is vibrating feedback when browsing the main menu and there are five default themes. The system has the usual structure, those who are familiar with it won’t be disappointed, but the whole thing has a kind of very special and new feature.
That’s because after we close the flip back we won’t get to see the standby screen, but the music player opens up. Always, in every situation. This is when the external keys start to work, and these are not real buttons. There is no kind of electronics in the front cover, so when tapping the front of the flip, we are activating some parts of the covered keypad through the soft plastic. We can try this out by closing the flip only halfway down and then touching it on the other side we can see that for example when we press play/pause, it activates key 2.
When opening the phone the player returns to the background and we are taken to the main menu. When in a close state a press of the volume control keys turns on the display for a short time so we can take a look at the icons representing missed events or we can check the time without opening the flip. I got to like this method quite a lot during everyday use, as it’s practical, forcing the Walkman interface is not disturbing at all, as it doesn’t matter at all what is displayed on-screen after closing the flip, since I don’t tamper with it anyway, and if I’d like to listen to music then it comes in handy. In case I open the flip, I get back to the menu item where I was before closing the phone.
