9:23 I investigated the CPU speed further - there is a Java benchmarking tool called JBenchmark ACE that can (surprisingly accurately) estimate the CPU speed of a Java-enabled feature phone, and as it turns out, the K750's CPU is actually 110 MHz. This surprised me, because Sony Ericsson phones are known for being good at running Java apps.
You are correct, models that use the DB2010 chipset, such as K750 and W810 have a 110MHz ARM9 CPU. However, ones with DB2020 and later DB3XXX chipsets, such as K800i, K550i and most of later ones use a 220MHz ARM9 CPU.
I'll also add that while both K750 and W810 are DB2010 chipset phones, W810 has more RAM than other models that use that chipset, that's why it can run Doom, while K750 can't.
looks like the java virtual machine in SE models are very well optimized for 2D stuff as in 3D stuff, nokia surpasses it (at least their smartphones, their Series 40 feature phones are on par in 3D stuff)
Early days of Sony Ericson are infamously for slow performance for East Asian markets, like T610 T630, the CPU can't even handle basic text input, and java performance is even worse than Nokia S40, the performance improvement starts K700.
K800i has a dedicated GPU in it. Now thats cool.
"Russian version of Tetris" as opposed to the default "Soviet version of Tetris"?
I was lucky enough to have the k850i and these were amazing back in the day. i used to bluetooth/infrared songs to friends back n forth at school, the music composer was great fun, managed to download 1000s of games on it too, it was truly the smartphone of that era.
K850 owners assemble! :)
Have you encountered java runtime doesn't work at all? One of my classmates in highschool used K850 and the java periodically stopped working at all, and the only way to fix it is to go to the repair shop and reflash the firmware. Back in highschool we used java apps heavily, browsers, IM etc.
Sending a song via Infrared 😂 damn those where the days. It literally took days
I still have my old K850 in a box somewhere.
A friend had the K790, I remember being so amazed that those phones had real xenon flash.
Absolutely epic phone I just wish I could have had the black and green, my provider didn't offer that colour.
good times... when the phones were fun to play with and explore new techs every day...
Awesome, thank you!
Androids still exist my dude. But they're also slowly going the apple way. Starting with Samsung putting efuses in the SOC for bootloader unlocking.
Yeah, with terrible screens, cameras, slow UI, completely locked with no SIM, weird and cumbersome controls, and each with their own connectors. The Golden Age, really. Nowadays I can play console and pc games on my budget phone with apps for everything you could possibly want to do. There used to be a reason for unlocking or jailbreaking phones, but they can do so much without it now, so what's the point? Literally everything about phones is better now, they're even less locked down by default compared to 15 yrs ago. The only bad direction is the removal of the headphone jack and expandable storage. The phone I have is the last Samsung that seems to have both. I can't use wireless headphones, they all suck with bad audio quality. I have never used a pair that didn't sound bad, except for this one really cheap set of headphones, but they would turn to dust in a matter of months every time I bought them. Fixing was futile. Even 128gb is never enough for me, I'm a storage hog, and the most popular games are massive, Genshin is tens of gigabytes alone, something like 60+.
I'd take this over the old phone landscape any day, though. Late 2010s was peak phones, but I think we can get there again with time, once adding gimmicks is cool again. The minimalism bubble will pop and function will return, this is how it always goes with design, nothing lasts forever. The harder we push towards modernism in design the rougher the spring back to rustic will be. Imagine Rococco coming back as peak displaying of wealth instead of geometric shapes stuck together. Of course, I'm talking about America, I have no idea what's going on in Europe. China seems to really like a kind of future mashed with ancient symbolism look, I think they might just stick with that forever, frankly, they REALLY like it. I can see why, it IS cool, but EVERY sci fi thing from China looks exactly the same. In America there's still some variability, like Star Wars and Star Trek style, or Tron, or Bladerunner, and Dune. There's even 60s foax future aesthetic. It might seem a bit out of nowhere to you, but I read plenty of ameteur web novels from China that ise that sort of look amd world, and it appears in big budget shows and games from China. They should get inspiration from Japan, they've taken SciFi through the ringer over there, they have a ton of cool ideas and looks that America hasn't touched, unless they're adapting a Japanese IP. Japanese media has some quirks that make it hard to watch, though, such as weird portrails of children characters and obsession with high school aged characters. I mean, there's a difference between having teenage protagonists, which is extremely common everywhere, and what happens in Japan sometimes. Oh yeah, and the incest. Game of Thrones had that, but I never watched it, and it fits with the setting, it kind of just seems like they like siblings in Japan. At least two popular shows I can think of are either roughly about incest or contain incest. There's also the enhanced horniness of almost every show. Unless you're watching true art, almost any Japanese show is touched by the hands of a raging pervert. If I had to think of true art shows, it'd probably be something like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Kino no Tabi, SNAFU. I have a list of, like, 100 shows that I think manage to NOT suffer from weird quirks, but I also stopped watching shows from Japan over half a decade ago, so my memories and opinions have probably shifted around a bunch. A show that contains sexual imagery that I would still consider true art is Devilman Crybaby, younger me was not ready for that ending.

Oh hey, I'm the one that made MinesweeperClone that can be seen at 13:38 😁
Thanks for sending me a trip down the memory lane with these videos. I have very fond memories of modding my K800.
Awesome work! Thank you for contributing to the scene and giving us fun ELFs to play.
ahh. . . the pain of those old socket. . .
Yes😊
Any chance you could do a Symbian OS showcase for the Nokia phones from the early-mid00s?
Most people don't even know what kind of stuff you could do with a Symbian OS phone back then.
Yes, Nokia and Symbian modding is something I want to try out.
... and speaking of sony ericsson and symbian OS , there is a crossing point - Sony Ericsson P900i (it has symbian and it is a smartphone , but i don't know what was the modability of those , never had one )
I had p910, succesor of p900, sure it has Symbian os on it, but its different from every kind symbian on nokia, the Sony Ericsson P series (such as p800, p900, p910,p990, etc) had symbian UIQ OS,
@@1ksan1997 The SE P9xx series had Symbian UIQ series i think while the early Nokia phones like 7650/3650/6600... had Series60
@@mesicek7 yes, indeed
althought both are use the same .sis installer file, they are totally different, sis file from pxxxx cant be install on 3660 and vice versa
Actually there is one and only Nokia phone with Symbian UIQ, the 6708, but actually its only benq p31 rebranding for china market😂
Also, this brings me back. I had a K310i that I modded flashing the W200 firmware, it enabled hidden flash memory within the phone, extending the base storage available to 15mb, and all the Walkman stuff! obviously, without the external storage, but who cared at that time. It was a nice free upgrade
This hits hard with nostalgia...
Thank you for a trip back to 2000s ☺
Yeah, this was a fun one to make.
Sony Ericsson W200i is probably the most amazing java phone I have ever owned, back in the day all Sony Ericsson phones felt like treasure boxes with all the themes, games and features they had. I got to try a 3D rally game on my friends W995 but on my own java phones I used to love playing: Townsmen 6, Heroes Lore Zero, Heroes Lore Windos of soltia, Robinson Crusoe: Shipwrecked, Bounce tales and Black Shark 2: Siberia. There are probably tons of games that I do not even remember but the ones I have listed above are highly recommended. It makes me really happy that there are people like you keeping the old phones alive and showing them off to generations that will likely never get to experience these majestic devices themselves.
Great games list, thank you.
Dude, not only are your videos of outstanding quality and keep getting better! This and previous vids are about phones I wanted to so much back in the day! My brother had k750i and I remember seeing the "walkman version" as I called it and drooled over it. Loved that you got DooM runnuing on it, it looks at home on it :D
Thank you for sharing these awesome videos with us!
I'm glad you are enjoying these videos, thanks!
I had W810i back in high school, it is such a wonderful phone!
Interesting enough, I didn't buy it, but found it on my way from school laying on an asphalt road. There were no SIM, memory card or any contacts, the phone was completely blank, a bit used judging from scratches and dents, but working properly nonetheless, as if someone actually threw it away for some reason...
The affair phone… the memories it once held could have been priceless 😂.
The w810i is my favorite phone adjusting to the era and what it offered. I even ordered the white housing to make it just like it is on the video. 6 years of pure joy.
GOF2?!?!!?!!?! thats insane! its still one of the best space mobile games, and has a full desktop version, Mkkt Bkkt approved
Ah those day of you xs++ and the Sony firmware software. Remembering when phones came from Vodafone and Orange in those horrible colours, red and black for V and orange and black for orange. Installing the wwe (world wide English) software, which would set all colours to the default Sony colours.
As for the Bluetooth jacking, there might have been a few printers (in certain mobile shops), which they never locked their printer. Then a random message would print, to tell people to avoid buying the locked mobile phone from these shops. Good time. Good to see the old software also.
When I was in secondary school my dad gave me his old W550i so I could contact my family when needed, I must have played with the swivel mechanism everyday, it was so cool. Unfortunately I lost it but recently i found one on FB marketplace for cheap and planning to gift him it on his birthday next month
Please video it so I can see his disappointment 😂 why would a 50 plus year old man want an old brick 😂

@@leonardhpls6 maybe you are not old enough to estimate the value of nostalgia
I really miss Sony Ericsson. These vids are unearthing buried memories of the k320i and the p900. MusicDJ was amazing on the k320i, and I'm pretty sure that the p900 was the reason why I got hooked with technology
Not what is better - The video or the comments. Both full of substance, entertainment,memories and nostalgic stories!
I also really enjoy the comments. It's a great part of making these videos :)
Once again, great video. Can't wait for the nokia videos. However, i'm expecting older models of android phones as retro tech soon... thats gonna be fun :D
also, "russian version of tetris" ? Isn't the original tetris also russian ? :D
I do have older Android phones and they are becoming very retro :)
I meant Russian language version of Tetris :)
I think that Sony Ericsson 's platform sits between S40 and Symbian v3, I remember how impressive it was when I saw the Video Editor function on my cousin's phone back in the day, when my Nokia S40 could only put .gif cliparts on photos.
I had found a slide version of this phone from Cingular that was white and orange. THAT PHONE WAS A BEAST!
I was a kid and it was new at the time. My parents let me keep it so I could shut up about wanting a new phone not for the phone but the toying around with it. I collected cellphones and I was like 9 around this time. Best feature! Bluetooth PC Mouse. Teachers used projectors and our new MacBooks had gotten this fancy new feature called BLUETOOTH!!! It didn’t even ask for permission. I’d just connect and control my teachers laptops randomly at will during presentations 😈 I’ll never forget this phone
They were no 1 worldwide before rise of Samsung and after the fall of Nokia.i had Ericsson, nokia, sony ericsson sony ericsson, samsung,samsung ,samsung ,samsung , samsung ,bought a new nokia banana/matrix reborn phone but it didnt last 1 year before dropping calls, never bought an apple product because they were rebadge samsung costing 10 times the price of equal phone.I played those games to the max.😂😂😂
I used to really like Ancient Empires II on my phone. I hope you try it out.
I'll check that out one day, thanks.
Those custom menus in old Sony Ericsson themes are Flash Lite apps actually, it was a downgraded version of the Flash player designed for mobile deviced, some other phones like the SE W200a supported them, not by default strangely
It's interesting to me to see all these phones. They were much too high end for my blood back in the day. My first phone in 2010 was a motorla flip phone and not the razr that was too nice. The Motorola W418G straight out of the walmart bargain bin. That thing went though hell and came back scarred but was till working when i replaced it with a pantech marauder, still my favorite phone of all time.
Do you know a way to dump the flash on those phones and somehow running them in an emulator?
I have a childhood Sony Ericsson with a dead screen and want to browse old files from it again and see what's still on it.
I don't know any emulators. You might find one with a good screen and see what happens when swapped over.
You definitely should find a Sony Ericsson S700i. I had one back in 2008 I guess and that was a mind blowing from the Motorola V620 that I had until them. Sadly, it was bricked while I was playing Call of Duty (downloaded from E-Mule)... It was a very rare phone here in Brazil and I was young and broke so I never was able to recover it, since I used a Dial up network and barley could read English. I miss it
Your videos are amazing. You have such a great collection of old electronic techs and you explain them very well. I always learn something new from you. And your voice is like ASMR to me, it makes me feel calm and happy. Keep up the good work. 👍
I'm really glad you are enjoying the channel. Thank you.
I patched this and k800 when young, i never hear a device whit more volumen that this, todays mobiles dont get near that sound!i used a adapter to 3.5 mm and that was the heaven in the time.
Jesus that's a throwback for me! This whole video dug through my memories. I had the W810 and all of the tools in this video were a common sight for me of an evening after school, seeing what more I could do to my phone, be it new camera drivers, audio drivers, or the one thing I always struggled to get set up as a kid, the elfs. I've still got the phone in a drawer to this day, I think the last I left it it was in need of another re-flash, as it's stuck at the initial boot screen I think! Amusingly, the phone I had afterwards was the W995, though I don't -think- I did anything to mod that one. Both were utterly fantastic phones, and there's a reason I've kept them in the drawer so many years later. Both battered and well used, but absolute tanks with worlds of potential for their time. Thanks dude, really hit the nostalgia button in my brain this eve with this.
I never had these but I have always been fascinated by them... Wierd how I feel nostalgic for these phones without having owned or even handled one.
How old are you😂 where you even born
i knew a lot of people with them but i was with nokia
@@leonardhpls6 I'm currently 30, I grew up in a small town in India...
So cool to see these tools that I had no clue about back then. I had the K750i back in the day and spent hours "editing" in the VideoDJ applet. I still have a bunch of .3gp's from those days that are so low res/bitrate that you can barely make out what is going on! Jumping to the K750i from my Nokia 6230 was such a step up in terms of features. My last sony was the C905 which i had as a hand-me-down shortly before I switched to Android in 2010.
Thanks for making this video it's so cool seeing this classic phones getting some love with such high quality production videos!
This proves that Sony had a missed opportunity to enable third party apps and whole app store concept since the hardware seems capable enough for incredible stuff
Sony and Ericcson phones and later as Sony Ericsson was very popular in Europe during the 2000's. They dominated the whole phone market together with Nokia.
I had K530i and flashed it with W series software, and it worked perfectly. Which shows that K and W series were essentially same phones, just with different design and custom software.
The custom menu themes are actually based on Flash content, they have a .SWF flash file being for the main menu. The .SWF file has to be already in the firmware somewhere, it can't be included in the theme itself.
yeah
it's in the system files
Very interesting, thank you
Amazing video to watch. I had so much fun modding these phones back in the day. Nowadays im collecting them and i can say that i own 95% of Sony Ericsson phones ever released. Im missing some phones from other markets like Japan. Can you check T610, T630 or Z600 in the future?
Great to hear from a SE collector. The T610 is another top favourite of mine.
This was my dream phone back in 2008. Only rich people had it back then. I own one of them now. I like collecting old phones. I wish they made phones like this now.
Really interesting to see phones like this, makes me realize just how far technology has come and how stagnant it is today. Every android phone is the exact same while in the past, phones and other tech were extremely experimental and unique. There's a certain joy I get out of those old non minimalistic user interfaces, those quirky sounds they make, their apallingly bad video camera quality and how fast their CPUs actually run. We're blessed today with 4.5 GHz CPUs that we've taken modern technology for granted and we're not doing anything great with it, but seeing these small little bricks and what people can do with the limitations they impose is just incredible. Seeing DOOM run on a phone from the 2000s is magical to me.
Such a good reminder of old hoby! It's sad that so much old web resources of mods, tools and instructions died by now. Thanks for great content!🙏
Enough info has been saved to keep modding, this is why I'm making these videos.
Do you have on your Patreon a quick start guide/download for all those flashing tools? I’d like to unlock a few SE phones of my own? Thanks
Nope, lots of time and research is needed to make a tutorial. But I do have a discord.
Tenchu - Ayames Tale 3D was a very impressive 3D JAVA game for Sony Ericsson phones.
interesting suggestion, thank you.
I used to flash my K750 back in the day a lot. Basically turned it into a cooler W800 with its original black shell but the metallic orange mid frame. It also had a task manager for much better basic multitasking, turning it into a smart phone before the smart phones. I remember that the brown version firmware was the last revision and it was generally better to just avoid it and give up immediatelly, because flashing it would brick the phone. didn't help that Far Manager was a finicky piece of software.
Wolfenstein RPG and Splinter Cell were THE games to play! Game Boy Color emulation was also a neat thing. Used to play Pokémon Silver on the K750.
I had my First nokia In 2012/12/12
It was Xpress Music It was my first As A pc or Console Or Camera Or MusicBox
I was 13/14 😢
I have played so many best Games on my phone
I love Themes From Nokia
Symbian, Nokia Java
& Windows 7..
Themes are dead for nokia nowadays so I hate nokia
But Thank You Xiaomi For Themes
Samsung has too but I love Xiaomi themes same as Symbian, Nokia Java, Sony Ericsson or Windows
Man! Walkman phones were some of the best phones. I miss them.
I remember the one that had the music creator. I made some awesome tunes on that.
I never had one myself, but my friend had one and so did my sister.
I had many Sony phones, but it was all smartphones, after the walkman days
Music DJ or whatever it was called also existed on k550/750. You could export MID and use it as a ringtone
@@vadnegru yeah! Made some cool tunes on that!
I pulled it into Cakewalk and made a mp3 of it too
Maaan, I had the black one. I did all of the stuff from the video. I had a friend with K750 and we were constantly flashing new firmwares, display, sound and camera patches. It really did made changes on the volume of the loudspeaker and the quality of the camera. I have soooo many hours flashing that brick. I was painting the keyboard leds blue to change their illumination color. What it killed it was connecting a smd led to the loudspeaker with a single hair from a wire. :D What a stupid kid
You can check the game 'gravity defined trial racing'. We were at least 10 people in my class having similar phones and playing this game in between the classes. What a blast.
I think that the best phone of that era (but I never had :D) was the Sony Ericsson W580 because of the side light effects :D
I had also the mentioned w995, but I quickly swapped it to a Nokia 5800, because it was advertised that it has GPS, but there were no usable navigation apps, so I decided that I need a smartphone for that. There were another universe of hacking/patching in the Nokia world....
Later I had Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman with Android, yet another universe of tweaking
a two weeks ago i bought a c510 and c702 at local flea market. unfortunally, c510 was locked at Orange PL, but i bought a 1 day Omnius license, and unlocked it. also i downgrade cid to 49, changed certificate to BROWN and did backup GDFS at c510, c702 and k800. now i playing DOOM RPG and it is awesome, like a 15 years ago
15:55 "There's also this Russian version of Tetris." Lol
Galaxy on Fire is the Best 3d Java game there is, you really should check it out. I've nerded so many hours with this 3d RPG i can't even count.
Oh man, I worked in telecom when these bad boys hit the market. I had both the K750i and the K800i, they were absolutely awesome! Sold heaps of these walkman phones too. I got the compatible walkman earbuds from an DOA walkman phone for my K800i and it was bloody great!
Still using W950i for listening music at work. Battery hold 5 days of music listening 7hrs a day after 15yrs. And sound quality is beautiful.
My dad owned a sony erricson F305 it had 2 extra X and O buttons from PlayStation i fondly remember player tropical madness, jhonny crash, Diamond rush , bejeweled among other games!
one of its feature was motion control like a wii remote and to accompany this the phone phone came with a fishing game, can't remember the title though!
I must say, your video production quality is outstanding! I had the W800i from 2005 to 2011 until I got my first Android smartphone. It was the best quality and feature packed phone ever! I used it for everything, I even played multiplayer games via Bluetooth with my class mates, browsed the internet via Opera, send themes and games and even watched full length movies while travelling on it! The Walkman was amazing, the best player with playlists and everything, the audio quality outstanding! It genuinely was an amazing phone for the era. Wish manufacturers like Sony and others put this kind of attention to detail in their products now days...
I'm really glad you had lots of use out of your phone including video playback, it was tricky to encode videos.
@@JanusCycle Yeah, I had a mp4 to 3gp converter, the good ol' days 😁. Also, the camera was good enough in daylight for small prints, better than a lot of point & shoots of the day 😇
The music only mode is an awesome feature
Shame that the later models ommited that feature because it lets you use your phone as music player without sim card
You should try out models like K800 or K810 because they are very capable camera phones with xenon flash on them
I remember back in the day, buying Samsung U900 Soul. It was such a mistake, there was hardly any customization you could play with it. Just before buying new phone, I figure out how could you sideload games to it. On the other side, Sony Ericsson was probably the best phone next to Nokia to play around with it.
The best phone every... Period! Bought 4 of them for family... Still have mine. Must have bought 5 phones after that, but it's the only one still have kept... They don't make it like this anymore. The UI and the way all the buttons next to the screen could control the UI was just amazing. Was faster than using a touchscreen
i used to do this flashing/modding on my sony ericsson w200 and k610. installing patches, replacing display driver ang audio driver...
I used to have the W910i phone and i still have the Walkman NW-A25. I'm not sure which one came first and which it's modeled after because the interface and menu etc. are identical. The Walkman has the "Hi-Res" label, I'm not sure what it is but I think it means it enhances the music of flac files? The quality all round is really good and I still use it today. I haven't attempted to "break" it but I reckon you could tweak it though...
If you liked Fantasy Warrior you should give Fantasy Warrior 2 Good/Evil a try! Very fun RPGs with a unique battle system and memorable soundtracks. They even made ports for iphones back in the day but unfortunately I think those are lost to time.
I remember there's one Sony Ericson phone has kind of bug of its Java runtime, K850, one of my classmate in high school occasionally encountered can't start any java applications, the only way to fix is go to repair shop to reflash the firmware, factory reset won't fix, after he did couple times he switched to Samsung i550w.
I used a Sony Ericsson S700i for the longest time, great high resolution display and great camera
I was not lucky with the joystick when using K700i in the past. It broke and went pretty unresponsive in about 6 months after purchase. It had his comeback here and there, but overall an unreliable part of a Sony Ericsson phone.
I was stationed in Korea for a bit. From what I understand, the reason shutter sounds are required is to help maintain privacy and social cohesion. Helps prevent people from taking pictures of others while on a train or in an elevator.
Be sure to try Gish and Sola Rola, I loved playing those two games on both of my SonyEricsson phones!
Gangstar and BT Biplanes were also quite fun!
I had this phone back at the time. It was a really great phone. I would recommend trying out a K770i if you can get one.
ye boi! And I thought I was cool when I figured out I could install jar files off the internet
Deep submarine odyssey looked super impressive
I used to play some worms game with my friends over Bluetooth back in the day
oh boy. good old days. i was so excited and also confused when i tried to fully refurbished and unlock my sister's w300i. i only had nokia/siemens/samsung/sagem experiences before. it was a new scenario. first i bricked it. i ruined the partitions. then finally i managed out how these things works. refurbishing and modding modern smartphones are not satisfying.
Man these SE's were the shit!! I had literally stolen money to get one and got into some problems. Also, for elf modding, benq-siemens e71 and its cousins were much more mod-famous bc of the price
So much memories. That was my first phone I bought with my own money. At the time it was like owning galaxy s24 ultra or iPhone 15 Pro.
I remember playing bluetooth biplanes with my friends at school, what a great times! Also my favorite games were: asphalt urban gt, racing fever gt, orcs and elves, worms 2007, gravity defied, bounce, xiii, prince of persia harem adventures. Thank you for video!
BT biplanes тема!!! Сколько ж там "часов налёта" было проведено, ух. Разные люди, общие воспоминания...
I bought one of these new, after about 3 weeks it would not switch on, so I took it to the nearest Sony Erricson service centre and they said it would be a couple of weeks as they had a lot of these in a queue to be fixed.. anyway about 3 weeks later I got my phone back, repaired.. I’d had to buy another phone in the meantime to so sold this phone to a friend, he used it for about 2 weeks and then it would not switch on, so he took it to the service centre and they fixed it again.. it took 3 weeks but he got it back and about 10 days later it was broken again…. The service centre told us that they virtually all had the same life span of 2-3 weeks…. Hopefully later ones were better!
Ive seen a few Sony w995 on ebay for $100.00 and less. Some even include original packaging
Damn I had a w810 which I threw in an anger fit when I was 13. It was my first own phone. Still miss some of the great features of the time 😢
Edit: please find this gunslinger game where you can do duels with cpu, I cant the game online at all 😢
ye sony ericsson was like the best line up of phones I seen, especially k750i etc really got almost everything, when other phones were still monochrome, my favorite one is still w380i I had to rebulid one from few broken ones, as its super rare to find the external oled screen still working , I use it sometimes when its not raining xD its a museum piece really , its the thinnest phone I ever had, the only thing it was missing was LED for the camera. it would also be cool if it was made of better materials, as plastic tends to break with time ;o have a look at some old japanese flip phones those are even cooler :D
loved both my k700 and the k750 ive got later. damn half of my schoolyears were spent on that thing XD
I had the w800 then the w810. I remember hacking the w810 and changing the shortcut button to open opera mini. Good times. I really loved the w800.
I remember I had a Sony Ericsson W395 back in the day, too bad my dad smashed it against the wall...
omg, I actually had (or one of my parents) this phone! this video has unlocked some memories. specially remember playing the music notes game and diamond rush
There used to be a way to crossflash some models between each other k750 to w800, k800 to k810 and k850 :)
W810i was fantastic! Mine got stolen at a gig in London, and a later arrest got it back... i just never went to pick it up.
Wonder what they did with it.
Thanks very nice...I had ericsson t20, not capable of any of this :D
To be fair, Sony Ericsson were notorious for locking their phones to networks. My first phone was a Sony Ericsson and it was locked to T-Mobile. Well, you gotta start somewhere.
This was back before the market coalesced around the iphone giant block of screen style. Phones with actual buttons designed for one hand operation and actually fit in your pocket.
Yes! Sunday is complete! Commenting before even watching!
I'm glad I was able to add something to your Sunday experience :)
I was always moved by how good the sound quality was on walkman phones. Far better than ipods, even the earphones provided with the ipods were flimsy and never used to stay put in the ear. Whereas walkman phones used to come with the best earphones at that time. Great time it was!
My dad have w700i and he gave me that phone to me when he upgrade his phone!
Also you should try vrally 3d for Java
In my teens I had alot of Sony Ericsson phones and I used to do all the stuff your showing in this video. Man this takes me back lol,
bro took a look at 2 of the phones already (k750 and w810) whats next, c902?
Back when it was recent, I was super hyped for the Cedar J108i.
Still have mine too and remember how cool it was to browse the Internet using 3G on that thing, to listen to music or just to play tons and tons of games.
I wonder if there's any custom software for that thing.
Back then, there was actually software that let me control music players on my Linux machine using that phone via bluetooth which I thought was really cool.
Beautiful video as always!! that brings a lot of nostalgic moments to me as well, I had one of the K series phones and my friend had the W810i with external SE desktop speakers that were really powerful, way ahead of its time. we used to hang out with the MMR70 FM transmitter, the W810 was our music Jukebox :D
Please check out the cannon game ( don't think it's the correct name but that's all I remember) it was available on some Motorola phone and I used to play it a lot when I was a kid.
My first cellphone I got when I was 14. I loved it but some dude stole it from me :/
Ha, I had one of these. I put a k750 back on this as I liked it better. W750 or k810?
Nice! My gf has a similar phone to this one, it from japan and isnt branded as sony, but i believe it to be the same thing but branded as the service provider, unfortunatly ive not been able to power it up, will have to get a step down psu or another charger. I had a seimens mc60, was a great phone for the time, when everyone else had a nokia 3200 i think it was. Then i moved to the 3 network and had a lg u8380 which was awesome to me for the time thanks to the 3 networks own sort of internet, many new friends were made on their chatrooms back in the day, after that i had nokia n97's (had 3, al a buggy mess but such an awesome phone when they were working right. then sony xperia phones up untill they stopped being sold in australia. Now ive got an asus rog 6. I feel like phones stopped being exciting when they did away with having bespoke operating systems and went to android. Im sure its a good thing in alot of ways, but it was always exciting exploring the os back in the day.
Did you know that topgear made a j2me game also Nokia rally 3d is one of my favourite you should try
Enjoyed this video, made my remember my old S-E mp3 phone, forgot the model number.
I wanted the w810 but at that time it's a bit out of my budget. It's a good thing that the k610 has almost the same features of the w810 without the price
I had one that slid up... I forgot what model it was, but I do remember that thing having a good camera and it was a fantastic MP3 player that came with some Kick Butt earbuds!!
I had the W995 what a great phone that was..look forward to videos about that. Great content thankyou
