Sony Ericsson W380 Reviews

CNET UK reviews the Sony Ericsson W380 and writes;

“Acceptable too is the button layout — it’s intuitive and easy to use, and the keypad features well-spaced out, flat buttons, making speed texting easily possible after just minutes of getting used to it. Sadly, there’s no 3.5mm headphone socket, instantly making this a frustrating music phone…Call quality is excellent, although maximum volume is relatively quiet. If you work in loud environments, this isn’t going to be your favourite phone. ”

MobileChoiceUK reviews the Sony Ericsson W380 and writes;

“Underneath the display are three Braille-like symbols that act as the media player’s controls when the clamshell is closed. You can skip and pause tracks by pressing the relevant buttons, which will give a short vibration to acknowledge a response. The OLED screen displays the time as well as the radio frequency…Verdict: The W380 is sure to appeal to a younger audience, with a host of appealing gimmicks such as Gesture control and the OLED external screen. Early adopters however, may find the handset to be a little lacking. ”

Mobile88 reviews the Sony Ericsson W380 and writes;

“The W380‘s main advantage lies in its simplicity. With the flip closed the handset is compact and looks quite sleek thanks to the slanted edges, which also help to impart a technical or perhaps even futuristic look to the handset…This is a Walkman handset so this is the area one would expect it to excel in, and, for its market segment, it does a good job. The Walkman player makes browsing and playing your music easy, even if it isn’t the Walkman 3.0 player found in some of the higher-end handsets. ”
