  • Audio and video playback are bettered
  • The W980i's fingerprint-loving mirrored finish and overly plastic shell doesn't scream high-end

  • Light; Internal Memory; HSDPA; FM transmitter; Clever Walkman functions; Other 3.5mm headphones can be used
  • Toy-like feel; Not the best-looking Walkman phone around
  • Move along with this Walkman phone....

  • Abstract:  If you are the type of person who judges a book by its cover, then dont 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. But if you ...

  • Design, external display and music controls, 8GB internal memory, HSDPA-capable, excellent headphones
  • No memory card slot, mediocre camera
  • The W890i is Sony Ericsson’s most stylish clamshell yet. A great combination of style and features, 8GB of memory and excellent headphones make this one of the best music handsets currently on the market. ...

  • Abstract:  Its no news any more that weve been playing with one of the hotties of the season for some time now. Sony Ericsson W980 made a glorious entrance but were yet to see about the exit. Set to top the Walkman feature phone lineup, W980 carries along 8 GB worth of storage, a 3 megapixel camera and a built-in accelerometer. The touch-sensitive keys and the latest Sony Ericsson feature phone interface add to the excitement. Still not interested? Then try to think of another music phone with a built-in FM transmitter!

  • The W980 is somewhat an odd acquaintance - either you love it or you don’t. I’m personally quite fond of it, although it lacks WLAN, which is a very important feature for me. The price of the W980 has come down to what I think is an acceptable...
