“It’s less than a centimetre thick!”
W890 sports a regular candy bar form factor with rounded edges. It is obvious that the design of W890 has been inspired by circles and round lines - probably to prevent getting the edgy look of the W880 again. A crisp 2.0-inch QVGA resolution display is to be found on the front of the phone. It can display up to 262.144 colours and does an excellent job in terms of colour saturation and brightness. The display can be viewed in direct sunlight without any problems.

The keypad on the W890 has a good feel to it. Buttons give a good feedback and it is generally a pleasure to use. The alpha-numeric keys are well-spaced with only the navigation D-pad and soft keys being a bit close to each other. The keys are a bit small but that’s what you’d expect from a small phone like this.
W890’s dimensions are 104 x 46.5 x 9.9 millimetres and it weighs a mere 78 grams. The small size and light weight makes it fit in any pocket and gives it a good feel in your palm. W890 is available in three colour trimmings; Espresso Black, Mocha Brown and Sparkling Silver.
The back of W890 is very simple to look at. High quality brushed metal is used to cover most of the back with a shiny Walkman logo breaking the purity of the material. A camera is placed on the top as well as the Sony Ericsson logo. Just between the camera and the logo is a mono loud speaker. On the bottom you’ll find the lanyard eyelet.

The left side sports the standard Fast Port connector for connecting to your computer, listening to music and alike. A golden Walkman button is also present which acts as a short cut key for easy access to the Walkman music player. On the top of the sides are two battery cover locks to keep the back cover in place. The right side is primarily for camera use with the camera shutter button near the bottom of the side and zoom / volume keys near the top of the side. The MemoryStick Micro slot is actually also on the right side of the phone but is hidden behind the back cover, which must be removed first to manage the memory card.
