Sony Ericsson W980 Review

'I want a phone which I can listen to music by without compromise!' - if this thought keeps running in your head, then look here before you go shopping for a new gain. W980 is one of the latest models in the Walkman series of Sony Ericsson and may be it will do the perfect job for you. It belongs to the high class and is this manufacturer’s first one with inbuilt FM transmitter, by which you can play music on radio-receivers near you. In addition, this is the second one after W960 offering 8 GB internal memory and is one of the few clamshells in this series...

2. After 3 weeks of use

This phone is the best walkman phone so far.

If you are a big fan of style and music this phone has it all. It does well too with push email and the web browser is great.

The second you switch to walkman mode, the button turn orange, and the light effects are in orange too. While using the walkman on top mode, the orange touch buttons turn on enabling full control. When switching to radio the touch buttons turn white. Not to forget the cool orange light effect switches to white when receiving a call or a message.

While using the FM transmitter, you shouldn't have any worries because you wont miss any call, the FM transmitter will pause and will continue after you end the call, however, you dont have the option to silence the call and continue listening to music, you have to wait for the caller to hang up. Also sometimes after a some what long call, the FM transmitter wont start again unless you switch it on again.

The sound on this phone is amazing! I have been hearing sounds that i never heard before in my favorite album. Not even with my ipod!

The battery is above average, but even better when the 3G connection is turned off.

If you are not interested in taking good pictures, this phone will do more than fine.
