Sony Ericsson W980 Reviews
Pocket-Lint reviews the Sony Ericsson W980 and writes;
“..for those looking for something a little different, there is nothing here to really get excited about. Sure enough, it works well as an MP3 player on the move with amble storage space. It is perhaps unfortunate there is no external slot, as a microSD card could have made music expansion really simple. ”

“We are very pleasued with the overall audio quality of Sony Ericsson W980. It definetely has some potential and apart from the rather high intermodulation distortion and total harmonic distortion showed very good results..”

PCAdvisor reviews the Sony Ericsson W980 and writes;
“A fairly common complaint with both clamshell and slider phones is that they are too flimsy. This certainly isn’t the case with the Sony Ericsson W980 – it’s robust and its haptic menu controls mean you can access your media library and control the Walkman without having to flip it open.”

“We like: Decent sound quality; solid design and build; excellent screens; Microsoft Exchange support; push email; HSDPA data; decent music format support; FM transmitter integrated. We don’t like: No 3.5mm headphone socket; not exactly innovative or fresh; memory not expandable; no camera flash”

MobileBurn reviews the Sony Ericsson W980 and writes;
“The Sony Ericsson W980 is a great phone, especially if you’re after a device with a top-notch music player. With its included high-quality headphones, 8GB of storage, motion controls, and stereo Bluetooth, there aren’t many phones on the market that equal this device’s music abilities.”

3G.UK reviews the Sony Ericsson W980 and writes;
“If we were judging this handset solely on music, it would be right up there, but as an overall package the phone is somewhat lacking.”

KnowYourMobile reviews the Sony Ericsson W980 and writes;
“A top music phone, but certainly not the best all-rounder. Cheap build quality, lack of external memory card slot and 3.5mm headphone jack is disappointing.”

StuffTV reviews the Sony Ericsson W980 and writes;
“Pros: Compact, pocket-friendly design. Healthy 8GB dose of internal memory. User-friendly Walkman player. New look audio equaliser options. Rapid HSDPA download speeds. Cons: 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”
