Advantages: good walkman phone Disadvantages: web browser
...gave me his cyber shot Sony Ericson phone because he decided to get the lg viewty on contract.
My friend got the w380i for her birthday from her boyfriend, and as I was looking round for a new phone to replace my brothers old one I asked her if I could have a go on it, I really liked it and decided to save up for one myself, it was £139.99 but the price depends on what network you are using.
The W380i is a Sony Ericsson Walkman music phone, this ... ...the same time.
The Sony Ericsson's built-in Web browser is poor, and I strongly advise you to install Opera Mini for free from the opera website. This app makes browsing the full Internet a treat, and it's extremely quick on the W380i... The phone comes with a stylish shell & with a beautifully finished casing. The handset is available in two elegant colours which include a purple and a magnetic grey colour. The design of the phone is very stylish ...

Advantages: nice to look at Disadvantages: very unreliable,
...too! This is my fourth Sony erricson phone; and the fourth one that has broken within weeks of me owning it. Why, you may ask do I keep buying phones from the brand if the wares are of a poor quality, beats me but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that they always make their phones so aesthetically pleasing, they look good, and sound very technologically sophisticated, as well as most models having extremely 'unique' gimmicky features ... ...most popular feature of the Sony erricson Walkman range, a nice loud speaker for playing your music out of (if you like that sort of thing!). The color is deep purple, with a lovely two tone finish to it, which would appeal to any fashion conscious teens out there; especially as it comes with matching colored headphones! My overall opinion is that this is a good, if perhaps slightly overpriced phone for teen girls; but that it feels a little like ...

Advantages: Looks good, reliable and nice size Disadvantages: Camera isn't great and walkman is difficult to work.
The W380i is one of Sony Ericsson's Walkman phones although I must admit that had nothing to do with the reason I bought it and I have never actually used this feature.
I chose the phone as it is a clam-shell style, which suits me as I feel the screen and buttons are much better protected and because it was available on Tesco Mobile PAYG for £79.99. The fact that mine is dark purple with pink accents and is super slim and stylish was a bonus.
The ... ...slim (about 1.5cm) and flat (about 9 x 4.5cm) and not so small that it gets lost easily in a handbag. The phone is easy to use for the address book, phone calls and texts which is what I mainly use it for. It also has a 1.3 megapixel camera which is very good at taking photos outside in good light and manages a fairly decent photo inside in good light but doesn't have a flash, just a night mode so if the light is not very bright the picture is terrible. ...

Advantages: Not enough - just that it looks cool music buttons and a screen on the oustide Disadvantages: Poor walkman for a walkman phone, poor camera and breaks easily
This is quite a cool phone to own at first because of the unique screen on the front and the music buttons on the outside of the phone that will amaze your friends for hours on end but this is more or less where the good things about this phone begin and end.
The back off the phone likes to pop out easily, and no I'm not talking about the part that open so you can put the battery and sim in like most phones, I mean the actual back of the phone which ... ...walkman phone, the sound quality doesn't last very long and the volume button ceases to work after a coupple of months so you can't really hear your musics unless you put in headphones which improves the sound quality by a minimal amount.
Furthermore, the camera is not good on th ephone at all. Fair enough before buying the phone you should realise that it is only 1.3 megapixels but this alone cannot, or should not, account for the poor quality ...

Advantages: looks good, its purple, quite cheap Disadvantages: signal rubbish, battery life poor, falls apart
I bought this from littlewoods catalogue for £79, at the time i didn't really know what type of mobile i wanted. i was in a hurry as my old one had broken. i chose this because it was purple(!) and also because i was intending on loading songs onto it, i never got round to it but i still liked the phone anyway.

quite often the screen just goes blank for a few seconds, then comes back to life again, and a couple of times a week it crashes, it can get stuck when you're in the middle of texting and you have to take the battery out and sim card out and put them back in, then wait for it to turn on again.
the last straw was when the 2 little plastic ...

Advantages: Clear audio, outer buttons Disadvantages: The outer screen is hard to see in the sun
The Sony Ericsson W380i is a very clever phone. It has an outer touch part shaped as a play button, a forward button and a back button. When it is closed it vaguely looks like a mp3 player and looks very nice. The outer screen is hard to see out in the sun though, but it is a nice touch, rather than opening your phone every time to change a song. The words and symbols that are on the outer screen are sharp and clear. The button layout in the inside ... ...well allthough the MP3, the on button and the internet button are very small. The camera is o.k for a walkman phone although dont expect it to be ultraexcellent because the phone is made for music nottaking pictures. The audio is nice and clear. The screen size is fine. All I can say it is a very nice and a must-have phone for music junkies. ...

Advantages: mp3 player, great colour choice. Disadvantages: no video capture.
I bought this phone last year after seeing and thinking how great the purple version looked but came across one in pink which was even better, so i snapped it up without reading much of its features, it wasn't till later i got it home i realised it has no video capture included, i was a little disappointed but decided to keep it because aside from that the phone seemed good, it has great sound on the mp3 player and radio and very easy to use. a few ... ...calls would go straight to answerphone without even ringing, my network said it was because signal was down but i have never experienced that on any other phone, and after few months my ringtone and message tone will revert back to factory set ones and i have to turn phone on and off to get mine back on, a pain at times but other than that the phone is an ok purchase. ...

Advantages: many cool features like explained in the 'review' part. Disadvantages: bad quality camera and no video recording!!!
Sony Ericsson W380i is a very nice mobile with really great features like:
It has a sensor near the camera and when you slide your hand back and fourth in the air in front of the camera, it silences the call if it is coming or snoozes the alarm.
It has something known as 'track id' which takes a sample of music(recording) of a song playing on an other device(eg:TV, laptop or someone else's mobile, etc.)and then goes onto the internet and looks ... ...it.
It also has something called PlayNow but I don't know what it is????
And like all other mobiles it has a camera(1.3 megapixel), games, calling feature(obviously......its a mobile), songs( as its a walkman phone, obviously it has very good music features as you can change skins, etc.) and so on...................It has a very cool feature in the calling section which is the conference call i.e. you can talk to another person while already talking ...
