"Toy-Like Walkman Phone Quite The Performer"
If you are the type of person who judges a book by its cover, then don't even bother looking at the new Walkman phone. The Sony Ericsson W980 looks like one of those DoCoMo phones you can buy in Japan and feels very cheap to say the least.
Pros:
- Light
- Internal Memory
- HSDPA
- FM transmitter
- Clever Walkman functions
- Other 3.5mm headphones can be used
Cons:
- Toy-like feel
- Not the best-looking Walkman phone around

The Sony Ericsson W980i is a medium clamshell mobile phone that weighs about 100 grams. The W980i is not just a fashion phone but a Walkman branded music phone that could spice up your life with music while enjoying its mobile capabilities. It comes in a black glossy finish with 8GB internal memory.
Pros:
- The music-phone market is more competitive than an American Little Miss beauty pageant, so it's going to need something special to stand out
- The W980i has a few things, starting with its compact clamshell which belies the fact it can stomach 2,000 MP3s.
Cons:
- The W980i's fingerprint-loving mirrored finish and overly plastic shell doesn't scream high-end, while the lack of integrated 3.5mm headphone jack is annoying
- The built-in FM transmitter is a good idea, but when we streamed tunes to a car stereo the sound quality was definitely compromised

I would like to say it was some retro 80s throwback look by Sony Ericsson trying to represent the old brick phones of the day but its really not. It's a smart, attractive, phone with a good camera and a massive memory. But its just too big. People don't want phones that big.

It's said that familiarity breeds contempt, but in the world of mobile phones we think it's more a case of better the devil you know.

Shake the Music : Sony Ericsson W980
Shake it, flick it and listen to the music hardly seems like an appropriate introduction to a mobile phone but this is a Walkman phone
