There are some cons to this music-focused phone
Screen is small and flimsy
Hard to find buttons (collection of rounded indents instead of buttons)
There’s a decent amount of storage for music, and controlling it is nice and simple
The phone feels cheap in the hand, and the outer screen and internal speakers lack quality
When you first get the W980 in your hand, the plastic will make you wonder if it will last long enough to play all the music you’re able to save on its 8GB of internal storage. You’ll worry less when you see how well it works as an ordinary ph...
The music-phone market is more competitive than an American Little Miss beauty pageant, so it's going to need something special to stand out. The W980i has a few things, starting with its compact clamshell which belies the fact it can stomach 2,000 MP...
The W980i's fingerprint-loving mirrored finish and overly plastic shell doesn't scream high-end, while the lack of integrated 3.5mm headphone jack is annoying. The built-in FM transmitter is a good idea, but when we streamed tunes to a car stereo...
The best Walkman phone we've ever clapped eyes on. Or should that be ears? Either way, the sonic brilliance coupled with a superb screen and stunning battery outweighs its dodgy design. Sony Ericsson W980i is tagged with Sony Ericsson, MP3 player, cla...

It lacks some top-end functionality, such as Wi-Fi and GPS, and its camera is a reasonable but ordinary shooter. Expandable memory would also have been desirable. For a non-smartphone device, though, the W980 does have a pretty decent set of features ...
Abstract: Theres much to like about the Sony Ericsson W980. The music player is superb, and once we got over our reservations regarding the clamshell design, we have to admit its a smart-looking handset. Theres even push-email, although this requires a degre...
While there are one or two aspects of the Sony Ericsson W980 that we found a little tricksy – primarily the fact that when youve been grooving along to the latest top tunes and unplug the earphones from the phone, it continues to blare out the songs...
Compact, pocket-friendly design. Healthy 8GB dose of internal memory. User-friendly Walkman player. New look audio equaliser options. Rapid HSDPA download speeds ...
Mirrored design still divides. 3.2MP camera is woefully basic and ergonomically challenging. No integrated 3.5mm headphone. Lack of memory card slot to expand memory beyond 8GB...
A talented music phone that’s let down by the rest of its feature arsenal ...
