Another great review from the lovers of the Sony Ericsson interface —which being the best one available, keeps improving little details in almost every model— and yet another "Highly Recommended" rating. Enjoy these excerpts [Via Engadgetmobile]:

Overall build quality seems to be good, which is what we have come to expect from Sony Ericsson. But the device does seem to creak more when squeezed than the earlier models, and just doesn't come across as rock solid as the W800 and K750 did. The look also seems to be a bit more plastic-like. Of course it is, indeed, made of plastic, but I just feel that the K750 and W800 made that less obvious. This is probably much a matter of taste, though, so judge for yourself. (…)

The Sony Ericsson W810 exhibits further refinements to its user interface. (…) One of the themes, Orbit, has not only a little fellow that orbits the selected icon and follows you as you navigate, but it changes colors each time you enter the menu. On top of that, the Orbit theme also blips the vibration alert lightly each time you navigate in the main menu, giving you physical as well as visual feedback for your actions. This is great. (…)

I've long been espousing the virtues of Sony Ericsson's user interface here on MobileBurn, and now that the basics have been covered, it is nice to see the company focusing on the fine little details that really make a UI sing. The W810's user interface is, simply put, the best available on the market today. (…)

The maximum number of contact records has been boosted to 1000 from the 500 limit imposed on the K750 and W800, which is a welcomed change. (…)

The Sony Ericsson W810 is simply one fantastic handset. While I found the speakerphone to be weak, and was disappointed by the lack of stereo Bluetooth support, it simply does everything else exquisitely well. (…) The W810 is my new favorite, currently available handset. I give it a "Highly Recommended" rating with no hesitations at all.
