Messaging

 
Editor Rating: 5

The w800i supports both SMS and MMS messaging protocols.  MMS messages allow for audio, pictures, and videos to be included with text in your message, provided that both the sender and receiver's cellular service supports MMS.  Full quality photos taken with the 2MP camera may prove too big to send via MMS, but the files can be compressed to sizes suitable for this use.  The phone features T9 predictive text input with a user-definable dictionary.

Being a Walkman-branded phone, the w800i also includes a few applications designed to liven up your messaging.  PhotoDJ and VideoDJ allow for sequencing still and video images along with superimposed text into an MMS message.  As the names imply, the DJ programs also allow the addition of soundtracks (MIDI or mp3) in custom-created messages.
