Excellent music player and bundled headphones, 8GB internal storage, Secondary display and external music controls, HSDPA
Awkward keypad design, Not Sony Ericssons most attractive handset, No 3.5mm headphone port on phone
Most of our complaints about the W980 are purely cosmetic. Looks aside, this latest Walkman works well as both a phone and a dedicated music player, with a substantial 8GB of storage being the icing on the cake. ...
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. ...

The Sony Ericsson W980 has a sleek and attractive design with a nice-looking internal display and simple controls. The feature set is good and performance is satisfactory.

Abstract: These days, clamshell models are dwindling in number, giving way to the more numerous sliders and candy bars. The majority of new clamshells are targeted at a female audience and can’t boast much about their functionality. A technologically advanced c...
Great music abilities, plenty of storage, FM transmitter, good battery
Small display, average camera, no memory card slot
The Sony Ericsson W980 is a great phone, especially if youre after a device with a top-notch music player. With its included high-quality headphones, 8GB of storage, motion controls, and stereo Bluetooth, there arent many phones on the market that e...
Abstract: The W890i is Sony Ericsson's current flagship Walkman handset. With 8GB of memory built in it is designed to meet the needs of the mobile music fan who doesn't want to carry a separate player but who does want plenty of music at their disposal. It is a t...
Abstract: The W980i’s reception quality was never an issue, nor was its ring tone volume – it got through in most situations. The vibro alert is a tad above average strength-wise. The W980 has already arrived and retails for around 420 Euro. It’s not a music-mi...
While there are one or two aspects of the Sony Ericsson W980 that we found a little tricksy – primarily the fact that when you've been grooving along to the latest top tunes and unplug the earphones from the phone, it continues to blare out the songs ...
