      I had the W810i and the W890.
      I loved the size and build of the W890, though it was UNBEARABLY unreliable, it froze and went hot several times every day.
      These phones were well made but the software was horrendously unstable.
      This is why I've NEVER bought a Sony phone since and never will.

    It's crazy to look at phones from the 2005 - 2010 era, especially across different brands.
    People were truly designing phones and it was something you could identify with. Nowadays everybody carries the same, boring touchscreen bricks.

    Looking and remembering these phones, Sony was (and still is) on another level when it comes to product design. Using coloured aluminium to match screen, beautiful blend of plastic and metal way back in 2005. Steve Jobs was very much influenced by Sony design.

    W550i was my first phone. My dad got it for me and little did I know it would be one of the most memorable phones I've ever owned. W910i was my next phone which I desperately wanted but was desperately disappointed with because it restarted almost every time I touched it.. probably something to do with the accelerometer. Complained about it and eventually got the W595 which served its purpose. I always envied after the W850i / W950i / W995. I was like 13 and so interested in gsmarena .. what a place to be.

I really miss these phones with innovative and interesting designs not found on touchscreen phones...

    I loved the Sony Ericsson lineup and had several over 2006-2009. So much innovation over the course of 5 years. And now I have the amazing iPhone, just like everyone else.

    Since I got my first phone in 2005, I have used Sony/Sony Ericsson phones exclusively up to the Xperia XZ Premium. I have to say, their latest phones really do not match to the competition, that's why I have now switched to a Samsung.
