SE W850i

Here i'll give a review bout this phone...

The Reception

This phone, is amazing. Screw the 850, it does great without it, when in a basement, no dropped calls, no noise/disruption, everything is knock on wood. So in the evolution of non-850 Sony Ericsson's, this is a great choice. This phone's reception impressed me a lot. I did a couple tests, outdoors, indoors, and in the basment (best place for you 40 year olds ) The first test I did while walking, great quality, no disruption, no dropped calls, everything was steady and great, even full bars. The next test was indoors, this test was again a great test, very good reception with no problems what so ever. The last test was in the basement, I still got very good reception, almost full bars, and still no problems with dropped calls or distortion, so A+ on the reception part of the W850i.
What I was amazed about, is when compared to the W810i (850 + EDGE), it was on-par with the W850, almost exact reception, and I thought the W850 got even better quality.



Sound Quality

Incoming - The W850 has great incoming sound, pretty much in-par with other phones, but the W850 seems to be louder than my W810 and K800, which is a good thing for those who are complaining about low sound with they're handsets.


Outgoing - The outgoing sound is good aswell, as this time the mic isn't in front of your mouth, but a bit further. When testings calls, I have found that it's very clear, people can hear me well, and no static/noise/disruption in the calls. I remember recieiving a call from a friend via W600i and for some reason it sounded terrible, like I seriously mean terrible. W600's are known for having great sound, guess that one was a bad apple.


Camera

The W850i packs a nice 2MP camera; but what's that hybrid? No AF (Auto Focus) or Macro? So If you want a great camera, W850 will do the job decently, but not as well as K750, W800, W810, etc. Basically when using the camera, you have all the basic settings (Video Camera, Shoot Mode, Picture Size, Night Mode, Light, Self-Timer, Effects, White Balance, Picture Quality, Shutter Sound, Time and Date, Reset File Number, Save to) But in the W850, you have an option to select the picture size by keypad (by pressing 1 you choose either VGA, 1MP, or 2MP)
like other SE handsets, night mode is toggled by pressing 7, and the light is toggled by pressing *

Aesthetics

This phone is very sexy, yes sexy, you heard me. When you first see this phone, it's amazing, you'll never know it's a slider, and the colour of it is nice too. I like the way they made the chrome back plate when you slide, and the back plate and front, very appealing and sleek looking.








Screen

The screen on the W850 is nice, lots of colours, sharp, and visible in sunlight, but not as bright as a W810 or a K800.

Keypad

The keypad is very nice on the W850, though has a nice soft plastic feel to it. When dark, it glows snow white, and on the actual front, when in Walkman mode, all the buttons on the front are lit up orange, when out of Walkman mode, it's snow white. Very nice
What I like the most about the keypad is that is is nice and big, has space inbetween the buttons, so you don't feel that your fingers are being squished like some SE handsets. This keypad is sort of based on the W810/W300 keypad, but nicer, I find it comfortable when text messaging or dialing numbers

The front keypad is very nice. It is different, no joystick, or d-pad, but sort of a nice touch keypad. I like how you don't have to squeeze so hard to break the phone, and that's it's not too sensitive; I also like how it's been made sort of the K800, with the back, C, web, and shortcut buttons. Most of all I find great is the Walkman button, instead of the usual orange W symbol, the W850 has a orange line that lights up, when pressed it activates Walkman mode and then the whole front keypad lights orange, very nice.


Build Quality

The W850 has a nice build, knock on wood. Not one of those sliders that you barely touch and it's already open, but a great solid slider.

Walkman / Radio

Another Walkman phone. Well it does the basic things of playing songs; but taken to another level. This Walkman UI I like, it makes me want to use the phone to listen to songs rather than using an MP3 player. Let me tell you, the new Walkman UI is very nice. Featuring a new way to browse your media, being able to have album art in your songs are pretty cool, a definite + like other Walkman phones, the W850 supports MP3 and AAC file formats.The sound on this phone is great, the speaker is amazing! Crisp, clear, and LOUD sound.
The W850 comes with HPM-70's, probably the best earbud's I've ever used, and a 3.5mm adaptor incase you don't want the awesome earbuds, (i.e. using headphones). Great phone, very well built. What I don't like about the phone is the camera and the screen. If the camera had macro and auto-focus, I would sell my K800 to get this, but it doesn't hopefully they might remake the phone with those features in the future (hopefully atleast another good slider) The screen was okay...

Em, think that's all...

Owh, da price for this hp is around RM1000-RM1350..

Quite worth it..

:p

Assalamualaikum w.b.t....

I went to school to collect my SPM's certificate with Aki and Wak... Aki and Wak arrived first.. I was a lil bit late... Huhuhu... After i'd collected my certificate, we went to meet the teachers... When we met wif Ckg Rogayah, she asked Aki to teach her how to make a blog... Then,we went to the computer lab and Aki taught her bout it... Next, we wnt to Nazmi's a.k.a Lantung's house... His parent's actually... LoL~...Wak and Aki's left their certificate there.. So, we went to collect it...

After that, we went to the teachers' room... There we met Ckg Jamaliah, and Ustazah Haslina... And new teachers... Quite a number of them... Hohoho... But we just ignored the new teachers... Hahaha... We left Wak at the teachers' room and went to the science lab... There, we met Ckg. Sharimah(the happy go lucky chemistry's teacher).. We had a chat for a while before we met Ckg Sazali(our physics master)... hehehe... He's still energetic as usual... Hehehe... He gave us some advice and told us to study hard for our future (exclude Wak,he's not studying.. :P)... hehehe...

Around 12.20, we make our move to go back... Hehehe.. Wak was already late to fetch his cousin... Actually he wanted to leave at 11.30, hahaha... Me and Aki managed to hold him until 12.20... hohoho... Poor Wak...

Holiday... Haih~

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.....

Holiday..

I'm on holiday now... Untill 16th July... If i'm not mistaken... Huhuhu.... Dun know what to do during da holiday... I wante to find a job actually... I talked to my father bout it.. Ku told me that he's working now... Part-time, at Mahkota Hotel( b4 dis known as Century Mahkota Hotel)..
Huhuhu... I thought of joining him... But, my father told me to find a job at a Computer Shop(shop ea? What ever la).. He said that i can add more knowledge while working... Hohoho... he got a point bout it... But, where can u find a such job with my current qualification... More, i'm only going to work or less than a month... Huhuhu... If i join Ku, the hotel management will pay the fee every week... See, it's much easier... Huhuhu... I dunno what 2 do know...


Final Exam...

It started on the 11 June... The first two paper was German 2 and Structured Programing..
German was not so tough... Moderate la... But the Structured Programming really sucked... I had a big problem with the subject starting from the 2nd week of studying it... Dunno why... Most of my classmates share the same problem.. Thank God i concentrate more on this subject.. Think i'll pass it with not so good grade.. That's for sure... Hahaha...

On the 12 June, it's time for Mathematics... Hurmm... Not so easy yet not so hard... Think i can answr it.. An the marks for math will surely be higher than structured programming... Bang Zai forgot to bring his calculator during the exam... He left it at home... He called the TTo and asked for a calculator.. Before that he said that he left his calculator outside the ecamination room.. The TTO asked hi to go and get it... After he cpmes back, he said that the calculator was not there... hahaha... Then the TTo had to go down to her room and took er calculator to lend it to Bang zai... Hahaha.... He fooled the TTo...

On the 13 June, i had to sit for Basic Communication System (COS) and English 2...
I had juz a lil bit problem wif cos.. It's in the section A... However, insection B i can get at least 51/60... Hohoho... Hope so... The questions ask about the Parity Check in transmitting informations, Fibre optic practical diagram, Yagi Uda antenna and The advantages of using Fibre optic in communications... Huhuhu... Glad they asked such questions... Frankly speaking, Cos is mush easier than Structured Programming... After that was English 2.. It's all about report writings... The clarity, conciseness, accessibility and accuracy in writing report.. It can be considered as moderate... Not so hard and not so easy...

Structured Programming Assignment...

It was really sucked.. The TTO gave the assignment during the study week, which is a week before final exam's week... The questions make it more suck... It was a group assignment.. My group members was Amer, Peci,Me And Syahmi... Hohoho... Syahmi went back to terengganu a day after the final exam ended.. So, it's only me, amer and peci left... The final exam end on wednesday... I went back to Malacca on thursday morning to seek help from my sister... We try to make it done before evening... At 4 o'clock i went back to KL... Huhuhu.. Had to... My group members had no idea on how to done it... Then, i gave the assignment to Sry... Her sister teach programming in Cosmopoint.. She asked her sister to check the code... Then, her sister make some correction on it... we submitted the assignment on saturday.. Huhuhu...

Dun have ideas left to write... Think i'll stop now...
DAAAAA.......

ALUMNI STP

Assalamualaikum w.b.t....

Lama sudah aku tak post ape2 kat blog kelas ni... Bukan apa, aku tak ada bahan yg hendak diutarakan... Tapi, sekarang dah ada dah...

Hari Sabtu, 2 Jun, aku pergi ke sekolah sebab ada perjumpaan untuk mewujudkan ALUMNI untuk sekolah kita... Perjumpaan ini diadakan oleh Ckg. Abd Rani. Selain itu, Ckg. Ramli, Ckg. Abu Samah dan Ckg. Rogayah turut hadir sama...

Sambutan oleh bekas2 pelajar agak kurang memberangsangkan... Sebab tak ramai sangat yang hadir.. Mungkin disebabkan ramai yang tidak dimaklumkan mengenai perjumpaan tersebut...

Perjumpaan diadakan di perpustakaan sekolah.. Bermula pada jam 10.30 pagi, Ckg Rani mulakan majlis dengan memaklumkan perkembangan2 terbaru sekolah.. Selepas itu, perlantikan YDP dan AJK2 ALUMNI diadakan..

Aku tak ingat siapa YDP dan AJK2 tersebut... InsyaAllah bila aku dapat senarai nama2 mereka, aku akan post dalam blog...

Selain dari itu, Ckg. Rani menyuarakan pendapat untuk mengadakan Mesyuarat Agung ALUMNI STP pada Hari Raya Haji nanti.. Tarikhnye belum ditetapkan lagi.. Yang pasti, bukan pada 1 Zulhijjah.. Sekiranya ada sebarang cadangan dan bantahan, boleh diutarakan dalam blog ini.

Ckg Rani ada mengetengahkan masalah yang dihadapi oleh sekolah sekarang ini.. Keadaan pelajar2 yang kurang bersemangat untuk belajar.. Mungkin dengan adanya ALUMNi ini dapat membantu pihak sekolah untuk memberi motivasi dan semangat kepada pelajar2 STP untuk terus belajar..

Sebelum ini, beberapa orang bekas pelajar antaranya Khairul Anuar dan Nurhayati telah dipanggil untuk memberikan motivasi kepada pelajar2 STP.. Ckg Rani berharap, akan lebih ramai lagi bekas2 pelajar yang akan tampil untuk memberikan motivasi dan semangat kepada mereka..

Kepada semua bekas2 pelajar STP bermula dari tahun 2001 sehingga 2005,InsyaAllah, anda akan menerima surat daripada AJK ALUMNI mengenai pendaftaran dan aktiviti2 yang akan dijalankan. Anda semua juga boleh menghubungi Muhammad Faiz Bin Parman..

Akhir sekali, Ckg Rani berharap agar semua bekas2 pelajar dari tahun 2001 sehingga 2005 dapat memberikan kerjasama untuk menjayakan Persatuan ALUMNI STP ini..

Sebarang pertanyaan serta maklum balas mahupun cadangan dan bantahan bolehlah disuarakan di dalam blog ini...
