W600 ja w550 mil sakta hai bhai

[@arunprakash2355]

W810 mobile kitaikkumma Brother

[@DanRC69]

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.

[@dayakarborra7758]

W996

[@KotiChennayya]

sony live with walkman came in 2012...

[@haitham594]

I still have my Sony Ericsson W900 and it's so cool working just fine. It's been 15 years Wow!

[@andromedagodit2492]

Those days, things were still made to last. Cool eh? 😊 😎👍💖

[@inderjitsingh6496]

Lucky Man....

[@np2118]

you are insane

[@nickflint5696]

Im thinking of buying one for music hate android and apple borin

[@CMediaAnjugramam]

Lucky man. Lucky mobile..

[@TheIceMurder2]

This just shows phone designs nowadays are so boring.

[@piznoctsauo8141]

People just want bigger touchscreens. There's little room to put a design on.

[@RavarsenBlogspot]

@@piznoctsauo8141 i don't want bigger touchscreens at all

[@bruhSaintJohn]

I mean how can you improve a brick?

[@georgevavoulis4758]

I agree ,they all look the same like black ceramic tiles 😴🙄 BOARING

[@Otachitaki]

Do you even want a metamorphic phone?

[@adamszuszkiewicz1709]

I remember seeing these as a kid and thinking they were super cool; I still like the design, to be honest.

[@anthonyatuhaire]

Me too. Had the w580. I thought it was really slick

[@marcusharmon8389]

Awesome design very comfortable In pocket maybe A bit too comfortable prone to losing it

[@faveszzzzzzzz]

I had the Walkman W810 and it was my favorite phone in high school! I wanted to own all the swivel action ones but… I was just a high school kid 😅

[@DmdMixZ]

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. Sad really.

[@toxendon]

I REALLY wish someone would produce phones like this again

[@pratnama]

i still use the W810i since 2006, battery lasts very long and needs very little power and space... amazing sound, can catch FM radios too. super solid high quality components and material.

[@8tonystark8]

This is SO nostalgic I had most of the models Those were the days to actually get excited about a new phone

[@stillamitchinmybook6320]

They had dual speakers you could hook up to them correct??

[@TamerChris]

Man, Sony Ericsson had really beautiful looking phones. I really like the orange with white/ black colour combinations.

[@raphaelcastro1332]

So much nostalgia seeing the w205,, was the first phone I ever got and I was on it 24/7 listening to music

[@inSaNe_44]

As I'm a Sony Ericsson big fan collector I confirm that this are really legendary phones! I will never sell them. Uniq design, elements and capabilities! Never ending times for Walkman and cybershot series! 💪🍻 🇷🇴 🎊

[@3dgbafan603]

Hey whats the phone that has wifi connectivity and looks alot like w610i? Please tell me a sony ericsson with wifi connectivity but looks like w610i please!

[@edwintapia9245]

The oldschool days reminds me of better days im going to get myself a old school cell phone. Yeahhhhhhhhhhh😊

[@toothpaste_tm7323]

Remember back in middleschool when the cool kids would blast technomusic on their walkmans during lunchbreak

[@mishraji2935]

Sony Walkman series fones were just amazing, super audio, great camera, neat designs, complete package… ❤

[@yushanyasindu9762]

Those are the golden era of Sony & Ericson working in harmony. Without Ericson Sony lost its way in android world. Those Walkman series phones are killing it on those days. Loved it so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

[@SurajSinghTomarArya]

I am telling you one day I am gonna shift to one of these and live peacefully.

[@noel478]

that's my plan too :)

[@GFourGadget]

Back in the days the coolest kids always carry a Sony Ericsson phone. How time flies

[@reddevilO7]

It's a shame that phones today cannot have these sophisticated designs.

[@leonrodriguez4853]

I still remember having my W200 in black, I can still feel those buttons and it was kinda loud back then, good old days.

[@khoirommilton9816]

Brings back a lot of memories😔

[@vjpratapsingh6776]

I am just gazing towards the headphones which were free with the phones at that time. And obviously with good quality

[@unusualvideos8269]

These were legendary gadgets called as handsets, now every smartphone looks similar ...

[@venom74799]

Just like a lot of things in society now. Originality has gone out the window.

[@aliaulman]

If you look at the spec, there are very little upgrade but major design changes. Yet phone these days were the opposite, very minor design but lots of spec upgrade

[@karthick5044]

These phones quality tells the quality of Japan. It was. a beautiful era with only camera and music primarily on the phones. Mind was peaceful without high-speed internet 😄😆

[@watchnerds]

Remember the time when we borrow our friend's walkman phone asking to exchanges some themes? Good times

[@anjanspace]

Back when music was the only important thing people ever wanted. SO all the phone manufacturers were focused on how best their phones would appeal to youngsters in terms of mp3 players.

[@emward6858]

I really miss these kinds of phones , both the designs and the build quality. So tired of touch screen phones

[@cidinchandra]

SonyEricsson phones quality n design aesthetics were topclass😍😍😍... Missing badly

[@goki22]

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.

[@Overanalyse_This]

God, I had and wanted sooo many of these! I know modern phones are better in every way but these phones were just so cool. Every phone looked different. Today they are all pretty much identical.

[@manimanikandan819]

Still I never found such audio quality in any current phones

[@jamescroucher5658]

Had both the w395 & w800, great memories of both, wish Sony would do a 2020 version

[@TrustyPanda]

I still maintain the W800i is the best phone of it's time, and one of the best ever. The built-in speaker was great, the shutter slide protected the lens, bold colors, great build quality -- amazing all round.

[@AndrewPekeuronehelluvanoob91]

I owned the W800i, W850i and the W910i. They were hands down the best phones I've owned and the features they brought to the market were really fun. I miss the days of true innovation and design.

[@BIRKERBOYZ]

This gave me goosbombs ... Good old times

[@Andriej69]

Owned W595 for a couple of years, it was actually my last Sony Ericsson and last classic-type phone. Damn, good times

[@Andriej69]

Still faithful to Sony Xperia, though, don't get some wierd ideas!

[@cole4648]

I had the W580 and I rocked that phone for years. I miss pre-smartphone days, truly.

[@ourmodernlife1524]

these mobiles designs are the best, look at them they are pieces of art

[@biancaandreea6257]

7:34 W902....I loved that phone....it was the best phone that l had as a kid. I was so excited about its features and l used to play java games a lot. I'll never forget those good days...♥️🥺

[@squirreltismw8295]

W350 was an awesome phone back in the day 🥰 they sure don't make these kinds of phones anymore 00s era was magical

[@wristsintact]

Two friends and I all had different Walkman phones at different times and it was cool to wait for and see them all again. These phones were killer.

[@5thdawg917]

Had the W800i. Legendary phone. I owned it from 2007-2010. Still got the one before that k750i. Those phones, almost everyone had one around the time. If I remember after 2011, BlackBerry took over the market & then came those iphones. I remember one of my friend being in college only guy with a iPhone 4.

[@suppengroove]

they all look so radical different! and then smartphones hit the market... arr rook same

[@CMediaAnjugramam]

I really missed those old phones. Anybody else?

[@Tashyncho-Sapa]

in generally, I miss the good old times

[@TonyA-ex1sj]

I wish Sony brought them back again with Android OS.

[@sayeedahmed2957]

Most of phone i used,,My fast phone in my life w700,,that phon was give me from my big Brother,he use it like 1 year then he give me,,that time i was 7 class student,,what a happeness,,in my word i cant describe it miss a lot that time,,in my hole life dont back that time😭😭😭😭

[@khoirommilton9816]

W995 was ahead of its time..design,specs,features...i wanted this phone so fucking bad🥺

[@lotfiabdel7694]

Had the W810 and W995 ❤️ Those were quiet the days

[@wpig8037]

I am a Sony super fans . My first SE Walkman phone was W800 -> different models -> Xperia 1IV now My favor one was W995, It look so cool. I used it for 2 year and still keep it.

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

I can remember being 16 years old having a W810 and thinking it was amazing at the time transfering new MP3 files every night. Truly great times and great phones.

[@SkipSpotter]

That was a much needed break from all the rubbish on KZbin. Great history lesson and such a cool non violent ear bashing sound track! My friend still uses their Sony w995 and won't use anything else. She uses it all the time. Sony unlike certain other companies, always designed their kit to last. Thumbs up !!

[@dustinmann436]

I had been w350... miss those era Now I have using iphone 12, galaxy A52 5g & M32

[@TomKlisanin]

I still have W850i unfortunately broken. And W995 which working perfectly and been in use daily at work for listening music. Even today battery is unbelievable and can listen music 4-5 hrs daily for almost entire week.

[@Rattler808]

we used to use w995 for cellular network testing. they ran "tems pocket" I still have a few.

[@lindsayfisher2623]

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.

[@joshuajackson6338]

Loved my Sony Ericsson w850i, what a phone!

[@thamsanqamajozi2751]

The best stereo sound from those earphones i missed them

[@hollandlaak7821]

Thank you for the OVERWHELMING nostalgia. I remember walking into phone shops looking at the newest ones.. simple times..😪

[@dusanstevic89]

Even though I never owned a Sony Ericsson phone, this video was a true treat to watch all the way to the end. They really had great designs.

[@DacLMK]

You missed out on a great era of phones. My first phone was the W810i. I also had the W995 and Live With Walkman (my first android phone). In my collection I have the W900, W300, W700 and Zylo.

[@achmaddenny1979]

I miss the time when I typed a message without looking at to the phone

[@harishsalvi3833]

I remember those days ..few mobiles was my dream but dont had money to buy .. Today i have money and they are not in market

[@thewonderer9551]

Sad truth bro ☹️ now a days phones have become tv.

[@anythinggoes7881]

i couldn't afford this in highschool

[@Ugur_Sessiztepe]

The best walkman phone series is Sony Ericsson 👌👍😎

[@yusiaghayev]

These phones menu structure and quality were better than in nokia, imho.

[@omerahmed3959]

Phone were fun back in the days !

[@natashasobieski9893]

I had w200 white/orange, it was amazing phone and my first mp3 phone ever.. back in the time who had sony ericsson was a king 🤣 i miss these old good times 😊 sitting in classroom with earphones hidden under my hears and listening Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears, Fergie or Avril Lavigne 🤩 it feels like yesterday, but damn i got old 😄

[@natashasobieski9893]

Zander omg even today when i hear “all good things”, so many flashbacks from my childhood just pops out 🤩

[@osquioscacho]

W300 was my first Walman phone, I really miss this old designs

[@marion817]

I thought it was so cool that they were carrying the Walkman, Cybershot and even Playstation brands in their mobile phones.

[@rddawood3]

I really want this now 😩

[@yasirbostan5638]

Aliexpress se mil jate hai

[@nikkylao6924]

Sony has always been a Class... It had the best features and after sony came up with one of the best sound, camera and even ear phones then the rest of the company took over made similar products... But still nothing can beat SONY...... I really miss those walman series.... Since every brand has come up with the old mobile styles with new version.. Hopefully sony comes up with one of its Best.....

[@gamergaminggamesss]

I miss this kind of phone ... Small form factor Loud n clear speaker

[@fierymoth4330]

I never had one of these in my childhood but I love watching it 😊. I'm just fascinated by the technology of early 2000

[@ephemeral7043]

I feel that 2007-2009 was very cool, technology is really developing very rapidly, style and fashion are very attractive. And lot of "emo" music at that time lol.

[@Bulsebub]

I had k800i in brown/bronze and w595 in dark blue, the w595 was one of my favorite phones I have used.

[@kausarahmed4196]

Till this day they look really sick, looks better than average smartphones nowadays

[@TheChico868]

Touch screen killed innovation

[@JaspreetSinghArtist]

W550i was my first phone. sound quality was amazing.

[@firstnamelastname6853]

Had A W850. I miss it much. Still the best phone I ever had

[@michalbarciak4504]

I have W995 to this day outstanding sound quality.

[@Intonsizt69x2]

[@savneetsinghrairai6823]

[@Anv2991]

Thanks for the nostalgia trip! I had the W350, and man did the phones back then have character!

[@jiggle546]

Phones were so much more interesting back then. Such unique designs.

[@mdabdul7489]

[@nustasuraj]

[@ronnyt101]

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.

[@fanboysnsdtmyoona4082]

My favorite W810 black

[@chrismatthews2652]

W850 is the best looking Walkman phone after w900 in my eyes anyway, thanks for taking me down memory lane awesome video

[@DarientLambert]

Currently I have sony Ericsson w980, w995, Elm (greenheart edition), g700. Been a fan of Sony Ericsson since i was a kid 😅

[@adcxbbk]

I had the W700 for 7 years. The music output from this is the best I have ever experienced.

[@bernardhernandez6987]

Nice...I still have W995

[@231ajay]

Sony Ericsson headphones were just too good I think these are first headphones which include megabass and rubber earbuds..the innovation of headphones introduced first only in sony ericsson

[@archersomit2026]

I had w20 ...I really loved that phone. it has a feature I can play a song on background during phone call and your friends also can hear the song 😍

[@01730356340]

This was my favorite Brand

[@ferdyhoshigakitube]

They should bring back these type of phone, but with modern tech.

[@dun0790]

When sonys phones were the best around in my opinion

[@zorkor]

Sony Walkman Phones had amazing sound quality and headphones. Loved them.

[@amiralibhatti6952]

wow, what a memories, i started my journey of cell phones from 2005

[@JohnRowley]

44 phone models in just 6 years. Between 2007-2013 Apple produced... 7 phone models.

[@coolguypravara]

I am a huge fan of these beautiful phones. Now the phones are boring.

[@1sonyzz]

As a Sony Ericsson Walkman phones collector i can say this video is very compact and fairly informative about main features of designs

[@saneshgobin4259]

I had the W810i. I might have an iPhone now, But that Walkman was the best phone I ever owned. I Really miss it.

[@simplicated99]

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.

[@chikopro20]

The XZ premium ❤️
