Advantages: Good looks, easy use, great MP3 player, built-in transmitter Disadvantages: Slow start-up procedure, no flash on camera
...phone of choice was the Sony Ericsson W980. Understated, elegant and, first and foremost, a mobile phone. It's a flip-design that, when opened up, reveals a classic Sony Ericsson simple design and familiar interface. The keys are responsive, nicely laid out (except for the clear key which I keep getting confused with the back key when typing messages, often resulting in the message being deleted) and of a size that, despite the phone's diminutive ... ...making a mistake.
The Sony Ericsson user interface is easily operated: a simple grid that allows you to move from messages to contacts to options, settings, applications and so on quite easily by the little directional pad. Sony have ditched the fragile thumb-stick in favour of a circular pad and this works much better, but the navigation is the same as Ericssons have been for some time.
The screen is bright, clear, legible. Sound quality in conversations ...

Advantages: Sound quality, music player functionality, aesthetics Disadvantages: No camera flash
...mind that it is a Sony Walkman phone, not a Cybershot! I would certainly recommend this phone because it fulfilled my criteria. I wanted a phone that could replace my iPod and camera on a day to day basis, and that is exactly what the Sony Ericsson Walkman phone does for me. Oh, and it even works well as a phone :) ...

Advantages: touch screen buttons for playing music, mass storage Disadvantages: "crashes" occasionally, no flash
I would and wouldnt recommend this phone, it has good and bad points as with most products. If you can put up with your phone "crashing" every now and again then i would recommend it, other than there being no camera flash it is the only flaw I have experienced since purchasing it in september last year. The mass storage is a major bonus, but i think that is what may cause the problem where it "crashes", however when it does crash it is back to normal ... ...that often. The music quality of the phone is very good, i currently have no cd player in my car and use my phone to play music whilst driving, and i can hear it perfectly fine. It is also very easy to use, with the touch screen buttons on the front of the screen you can easily browse your music and select a song you wish to listen to. there is also a button on the side of the phone that allows you to lock this so it doesnt start playing music in ...

I tested this in Australia. It is astonishing. The wi-fi (via HSDPA) connection is phenominal making web browsing and email a pleasure. videos are great as is the whole audio set up. the headphones are really cool and relaying the sound through a bluetooth sub and satellites was awesome.
Looks great, sounds great and works like a charm. Where can I buy one? ...
