Review of GSM/UMTS-handset Sony Ericsson W508
Mobile-review have posted their review of the Sony Ericsson W508. Here is their final impression.
The Sony Ericsson W508 doesn’t bring anything new to the table with its moderately strong vibro alert, a bit too loud ring tones and decent call quality. The phone is set to arrive some time in April at the price point of 250 Euro, which may seem like a bargain until you take the Sony Ericsson W910 (220 Euro) and W595 (220 Euro) into consideration. While the W508 will retail for 30 Euro more, it doesn’t offer any significant upgrades compared to the abovementioned models. With its slightly revamped A200 platform and bog-standard specifications, it will never make it out of its pretty narrow niche, thus repeating the fate of the Sony Ericsson W980. Its target audience will definitely see it as a nearly perfect phone, but much like the case of the W980, there won’t be many people with this mindset and demands.
