Sony Ericsson W890 Preview
Slim Walkman

Published on: 17 December, 2007 by PhoneArena Team

Introduction:
It was not long ago that Sony Ericsson announced a new Walkman Phone model; now we have the opportunity to present it. It is the W890, a “successor” to W880 – now featuring a more stylish design and improved functionality. A testimony to the latter is the better camera (both as hardware and software), the new generation software – same as that of W910 and K850, as well as the availability of an FM Radio, which was not present in W880. And so long as the new Walkman Phone is now a Quad Band one, it can be used worldwide.

As the phone we are using is a prototype, we will do a preview instead of in-depth review. Expect one in future ...

Design:
It is the renewed style of the phone that will impress us from the very first sight. Its main characteristics are the rounded edges and a new material for most of the front and the back panels, which is aluminum instead of the ancestor’s plastic. As a whole, the changes in the unit’s design contribute to its much more stylish and simplified appearance in contrast to the aggressive and “youthful” looks of W880 – a feature that will render the W890 attractive to a wider circle of customers.

Sony Ericsson have managed to fit in a 2.0 inch TFT display with the same characteristics as that of the previous model - 240 x 320 pixels and 262k colors. The keypad is underneath, and its appearance has been altered so as to match the new concept. And yet, the new device will still remind us that it is a successor to W880 by retaining the good old design of its 5-way D-pad.

When we cast a glance to the left side of W890 we will see that the Walkman button remains unchanged and there is the huge and unsightly charger/connector opening, shattering the otherwise simplified new design. We reckon it should be covered by a small unobtrusive lid. There are also changes on the right side: the small volume slider of W880 has now been replaced by a much bigger and more stylish volume rocker, perfectly matching the elegant appearance of the unit.

We noticed an interesting solution for the back lid’s locking system: it now consists of two small lockers on both sides of the phone. What is inconvenient here is that you need to unlock and lock these separately every time you want to have access to either the battery or the memory card slot (which has now been mounted under the back cover). This might prove to be slightly annoying for those who want to use more than one memory card.

When we turn the phone and look at its back, we will find out that the aluminum lid reaches as far as the upper part of the unit, covering the both the camera and the speaker.

Interface:
The W890 runs on the new generation software that is also used in the W910 and the K850. As this is a preview, we will not discuss all of its features.

This is Walkman phone, and the multimedia, especially the Music, is its main target. The W890 is supplied with Walkman 3.0, which is the upgrade to the 2.0 version. We can’t say the interface during playback has changed much – it still shows visualization and the set option on the top, and the track information below, with indicator for the D-pad functionality. You can also use the player in landscape mode, and one of the cool new features is that you can turn auto-rotation option on, which will rotate the interface when you rotate the phone.

Other new and cool thing is the Media menu, which you can access from the main menu or by choosing back, while during music playback in the Walkman player. This media menu houses Photo, Music, Video and Settings and has flash interface, which is different than the other submenus but changes (its background) with the change of themes.

The new Sony Ericsson W890 is now equipped with a built-in FM Radio, with an RDS support at that, which is quite normal for a music phone. The lack of the above feature was surely one of the drawbacks of the W880.

Expect our in-depth Sony Ericsson W890 review in near future!

akhirnya ada juga yg bikin thread ini... udah beberapa hari melototin di [tautan dihapus] ...
keren banget deh.... someday, i'll drop my w850i for this one...

tadinya mo beli w880 golden, tapi ngeliat ini, ga jadi deh.. :P
tapi mungkin, saya nunggu w890i golden aja kali ya? :P
eh, ini support 4GB M2 kan?

@neng_tiwi
Berharap aja mudah2an SE meneruskan tradisi warna gold W880 ke W890 nantinya.
Tapi kalaupun gak/belum ada warna gold, gw sih udah kesengsem berat sama yang warna Mocha Brown alias coklat. Keren banget.
Support 4GB? Pastilah... K850 gw aja bisa kok pake 4GB, malah kalo udah ada yang 8 GB juga bisa pasti kok. Mungkin nanti pas W890 keluar, M2 8GB udah ada di pasaran.
Tapi, W890 ini di paketnya udah dikasih M2 yang lumayan gede loh : 2GB.

introduction price-nya pasti parah nih... w880 aja dulu launch harganya gila2an...
bedanya ama w880 apa ya? cuma beda di HSDPA aja?
saya sih, yg silver aja, biar matching ama PowerBook :P

Beda W890 dengan W880 secara fitur (kalo fisik udah jelas kan?) :
- UI W890 pake A200, W880 masih A100 (A200 kaya di W910 atau K850)
- W890 punya accelerometer dan shake control
- W890 udah HSDPA
- W890 kameranya 3.2 MP dan kalo gak salah video recordingnya QVGA@15 fps
- W890 punya FM Radio with RDS

hm.. gitu yah... berarti, ga terlalu banyak perbedaan secara fitur fungsional... paling HSDPA...
kalo kamera, saya ga pernah pake, udah ada EOS sih
terus terang, tertarik ama nih ponsel, cuma karena bentuknya doang... secara fungsi W850i ada juga di hp ini...

Udah ada review-nya nih di gsmarena : Sony Ericsson W890 review: Thin Walkman refined

Beberapa cuplikan :

With 2008 around the corner, hopes are high for the coming year but the devoted fans of Sony Ericsson W880 have yet another reason to eagerly look forward. The expected release of Sony Ericsson W890 should be enough to keep them wide awake and ready for what seems a highly promising successor.

With its super slim styling and clean-cut lines, massive 2GB storage add-on and 3.2 megapixel camera, the W890 Walkman phone can hit the right notes with music lovers and design connoisseurs alike. Sony Ericsson W890 speaks the language of the young, fashion-savvy music fans, putting some of the latest Walkman features to good use.

Key features
* Extra slim body with solid construction
* Quad-band GSM
* HSDPA, EDGE, HSCSD, Bluetooth (with A2DP)
* Location services, Smart search, Manage messages
* Media center, Walkman 3.0, SensMe tempo and mood detector, TrackID
* Access NetFront 3.4 with mouse pointer and in-page search
* 3.2 megapixel camera with Cyber-shot SE v2.0 UI
* Fast photo browser
* FM radio with RDS
* 2GB M2 card included
* New improved battery cover release mechanism
* Finger print resistant body panels

Main disadvantages
* Only 26 MB of user available internal memory
* No camera autofocus, no flash
* Video recording in QVGA resolution at 15fps
* No skins for the Walkman player

Final words
The Sony Ericsson Walkman lineup is diverse enough to cater to all tastes in terms of design and functionality. With the W890 we have a nice update in the slim bar form factor.

We liked the compact and amiable W880, and we believe the W890 is a welcome successor. It does address some of the major letdowns in the older W880: the tiny keys and the lack of FM radio. The user interface of the high-end W910 and the added HSDPA and quad-band GSM support are a commendable effort to set the Sony Ericsson W890 above its predecessor.

We expected a bit more from the camera, the size of the display and the loudspeaker performance. The missing Shake Control and auto-rotate capability may also raise a brow or two.

Sony Ericsson W890 is an undoubted improvement over the W880 but we can't help being wary. We frowned at the overpriced tag of W910, never mind its high-end status. Let's hope the asking price won't kill the appeal of Sony Ericsson W890. The neat and compact handset is a worthy offering for its solid feel, nice handling and good feature set.

Fiturnya sama persis sama W910 kok bro selain kameranya yang malah upgrade dari W910, ditambah adanya stereo speaker di W890.

IMHO design nya lebih bagus daripada W910.

Kalo W890 datang nanti... "mati"-lah W910.

gw sepakat bro kalo masalah desain,emang cakepan ini

emangnya di W910 gak stereo bro loudspeakernya? gw baca di gsmarena katanya W890 ini malah loudspeakernya lemah di bass sama treble .. Hasil test audionya aja masih di bawahnya W910 --> W910 = "excellent", W890 = "very good".
Kalo ngeliat bodinya yang tipis emang rada sangsi sih ni hp bisa punya loudspeaker yg mantap..
Layar disunat jadi 2", autorotate juga dibuang
Padahal..kalo seandainya kameranya pake AF + flash, bisa jadi "5610 killer" tuh

Vid rec QVGA @15fps --> c'mon..nokia dah VGA sejak lama, bahkan LG gw yg <1,5jt pun dah QVGA

flight mode mesti pake simcard+restart --> skali lagi, hp LG gw bisa nyala tanpa simcard, ga perlu restart hp pula bwt aktifinnya. gitu jg bwt S40-nya sebelah.

paling worth bwt harga <3jeti deh kayaknya

hmm..bad start for 2008..

* berdoa untuk W890i Golden *

kl yg gold kluar krg cocok deh keknya,kl di w880i cocok ma keypadnya,hehehhe

Emank harga idealnya sih harusnya di bawah 3 juta, tapi ntah napa feeling gw bilang harganya bakal di sekitar 4 juta dhe. Pengalaman aja pas W880 dulu yang fiturnya di bawah W850 tapi harga releasenya malah lebih tinggi.
Dan ntah kenapa gw berasa 3.2mp tanpa af dan flash itu adalah suatu pemborosan. Gw dah liat tuh hasil jepretannya di gsmarena dan menurut gw sih cukup mengecewakan.

bagusan 880..

Kalo buat yang jempol gede ama perlu FM Radio, W890 bagus banget nih. Jadi gak sabar nungguin keluar en harga dibawah 3 jt. Kalo gitu rencana beli W660 pending dulu deh, hehe
