Sony Ericsson W980 review

Although primarily a music phone - hence the Walkman branding - the Sony Ericsson W980 comes laden with a none-too-shabby 3.2Mp camera with flash. This is more discreet than some onboard cameras.

Sony Ericsson W980i

In the case of the W980i, our usual rumblings about positioning may well be wrapped up in one phrase – music flagship – and that will be just enough to describe it. It's the most music-savvy phone from Sony Ericsson to date, plus the W980i is definitely in the running for the most quaint-looking...

Wow wow I am the first review to review this phone. What's there to say other than it has a lot of features but can't be compared to the N Series because they are much better, also it looks kind of ugly.

Sony Ericsson W980i

Design Whether or not we find the W980 attractive, we certainly think it looks delicious. With its glossy black case and sharp square design, this latest Walkman looks more like a dark chocolate Tim Tam than a mobile phone of the future.
Pros:
  • Excellent music player and bundled headphones
  • 8GB internal storage
  • Secondary display and external music controls
  • HSDPA
Cons:
  • Awkward keypad design
  • Not Sony Ericsson's most attractive handset
  • No 3.5mm headphone port on phone
