Sony Ericsson W980i ... - piano black / The Sony Ericsson W980 brings an unrivaled music experience that gives you every excuse to lose yourself in acoustic bliss

This Walkman phone promises to get the most out of your music. Its unique audio enhancing technology, together with the Walkman on Top design, sees the W980 cement Sony Ericsson's position as a true market leader in the world of music on your mobile.

The W980 Walkman phone is designed to allow you to listen to music as it should be heard. Clear stereo enables the music to sound like the original recording. Clear bass delivers distortion free sound even at higher volumes. These features combine with the premium headphones, the Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77, to deliver an incredible clear audio experience and music that sounds as true as possible to the original recording

The W980 Walkman phone has a built-in FM transmitter, which allows you to send whatever's playing on your phone to other devices with a built-in FM radio receiver. This gives you the ability to share your music with all those around you, whether through a friend's hi-fi or your car stereo.

Quality music is made for sharing with the W980. Unplug your headset, sit back and let the music flow through the integrated stereo speakers for all to enjoy. Select a track from the extensive music library - the W980 lets you store up to 8000 songs - or tune in to your favorite radio station and listen out loud. No need to plug in an FM Receiver, since this is on-board with the W980.

With the recent evolution of PlayNow arena, Sony Ericsson's popular over-the-air (OTA) and web download service being launched this May, you will be able to access up to 5 million tracks to maximize your music collection. The W980's TrackID feature, which can identify any track that you just can't put a name to, will be fully integrated into PlayNow arena. This makes the W980 a genuine gateway to great music, as you can download the track instantly once it has been identified.

You can tailor the W980's Walkman player to the music that you're listening to. This latest Walkman phone provides a choice of eight equalizer presets, each of which contains a distinct profile that is suitable to a range of music. So whether you're listening to jazz, pop or heavy metal, you've can always choose the best sound for the song.

The Walkman on Top feature on the W980 gives you the full functionality of a Walkman player without even having to open your phone. The entire Walkman player that would normally be displayed on the inside of your clamshell is also replicated on the outside of the phone, so navigation through your music library is effortless.

Every music enthusiast knows that a great audio experience requires great quality speakers or headphones. The W980 Walkman phone comes with the new Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77; a headset that lets you enjoy music in powerful stereo sound. The HPM-77 also allows users to take their calls handsfree, and its sleek design and in-ear wearing-style mean that it's both comfortable and reduces background noise to the bare minimum.

Whether listening via the headphones or the stereo speakers, the W980 Walkman phone is a must-have for those who want an unrivaled music experience, which they carry with them every minute of the day.

 ... photos but there are better phones out there with a higher megapixel. The functions on the phone is really easy to use and the keys on the phones is not to close together. It has a 8gb memory on the phone so you can have lots of music on your phone. This is a great little walkman phone at the front of the phone you have got touch screen buttons but when you put your phone in your bag or pocket I would put the phone on lock so that the music dont start playing. The lock on the phone is at the side of the phone. The ...more

Crowned Review Sony Ericsson W980i: Best Phone of 2008 (901 words)
by - written on 26/08/08 (Very useful, 543 readings)
Rating:

After finally receiving this phone after I sent my unimpressed Samsung u900 back, I have to say this by a long shot is the best phone I have ever had. Now I have been with Samsung for years and always stayed loyal to them getting the newer model each time my contract was up but after several problems over the past 8 months and after trying out the u900 and not liking it at all, I decided now was the time to make the jump. Anyway on to the phone itself. Now looking at pictures of the phone doesn't do it any justice at all. Trust me you have to see it to really appreciate it. The screen size is a perfect size and although when closed ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review It sounds as good as it looks (380 words)

This phone is definitely one of those that is better looking in the flesh, as it were. The front is a sleek, almost mirror like, black plastic which looks amazing but sadly scratches very easily. It also allows one touch activation of the music player which is an excellent feature (also one that can be easily switched off so that it doesn't accidently start working while it's in your pocket as I've had happen with other phones). Opened up and the most noticable thing is the retro feel of the keypad. Retro but stylish, and being spaced out gives the keypad a real ease of use for those with longer nails. The screen is clear and crisp, and a decent ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sony Ericsson W980i: A great phone for a music lover (357 words)

Ok, I'll admit it, I am a Sony Ericsson girl, when its time for my upgrade, that is the brand I look straight to and they really haven't let me down with this phone. This phone is more an MP3 player with a phone attached, it comes with some of the best earphones on the market which use the "marshmallow" shaped buds which cancel out background noise so all you hear is the music which is superb for a phone, there isn't any tinny sounds or anything like that when its playing. The interface on the front of the phone is also brilliant for ease of use, just touch the screen and it does it (but there is a lock so don't worry about catching it) ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review SUPERB SONY W980i (318 words)
by - written on 10/06/09 (Very useful, 27 readings)
Rating:

This is a superb handset and I've had it for over 5 months now. If you are an O2 customer you also get the option to own the slick red version. The sound quality is amazing and Sony seem to have improved the design of the earphones for this model. The online images of the W980i make the handset appear wider and more chunky than it actually is: the handset is in fact not quite as wide as the old iPod mini and when folded fits very comfortably in any pocket. The dual screen format is also impressive; for example, when closed there is a walkman screen with touch sensitive controls on the outside, as well as the normal phone screen display when flipped open. There is ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sony Ericsson W980i: Walkman Flipper (162 words)
by - written on 02/12/08 (Very useful, 54 readings)
Rating:

Its first looks would make you feel that it would open sideways kust like a laptop. But in actual its a flip top walkman series phone courtesy Sony Ericsson. The phone has a screen size of 2.2 inches which has TFT display. There is a secondary display i.e. the external TFT display measuring 176*176 pixels. The phones comes with an internal memory of 8 GB and does not possess a card slot. Well there is no need thereafter. 8 GB memory id large enough to store data. The camera in it features 3.2 megapixels which can take some quality pictures. There is another camera available which is of course a VGA for video calling facilities. The internet can be surfed via GPRS, HSCSD ...  Read the complete review
