Title: w810i Audio Hiss Warning
Review: Sony Ericsson has a really great product here. It has everything I wanted. However, there is a well-documented hissing problem with the audio on the Walkman application that I din't discover until I got the phone. This is utterly *ridiculous* for a phone branded with the Walkman label. What's worse Sony Ericsson appears to acknowledge in support requests that there is a problem, yet will not fix it because the hissing was introduced when they fixed (via a firmware update) a sonic distortion problem when volume is cranked up.So, everyone who listens at a normal volume level is out of luck while people who are piercing their ear drums at least do it in crystal-clear audio. Nice. This is a firmware issue that SE refuses to fix, at least for now.SE had a real chance hear to create a killer product. It does a lot of thing really well. Just don't expect it to replace your ipod. Wait for the Apple cell phone. Apply appears to actually take audio seriously, unlike Sony Ericsson.
