Slip slide away
Sony Ericsson’s penchant for the slider form is growing after a shop full of candybar’s and the W910i is its finest skater to date. The action is spring loaded while the torso is Rhianna trim, although it does have a tendency to creak.
The famed Walkman player now falls under Sony Ericsson’s new Media banner that gathers your music, photos and videos under one roof. The new look Media menu has graphically pilfered from the Sony PSP and now adds Podcast and Audio Books to its musical sub sections plus a photo tag system to neatly file your snaps.
