Sony Ericsson W518a
The Sony Ericsson W518a lives up to its Walkman name, but call quality and internal performance didn't quite measure up.
Kent German
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
Sony Ericsson W518a
The W518a's flip-phone design is similar to that of the Sony Ericsson W908.
The W518a has a small external display. With a monochrome resolution, it won't show photo caller ID.
The W518a has a rather flimsy battery cover.
The W518a's volume rocker and handset-locking switch sit on its right spine.
The W518a's controls and keypad weren't very user-friendly.
The W518a feels a bit flimsy in the hand.
The slim and compact W518a fits easily into a pocket.
The W518a's camera lens sits above its external display.
