What reviewers say

Stuff and OSNews praised the W810i's music playback, camera and straightforward controls. Both found transferring music through the phone slow and disliked the proprietary connector. OSNews also praised its battery life but found the web browser limited by memory and regretted the absence of Bluetooth stereo audio.
