I had my phone pinched on holiday last year, and my brother 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 was a feature that I particularly liked because the Sony Ericson I had pinched was a walkman phone and it was a lot easier to listen to music but since I got the cyber shot phone I couldn't listen to music and search through my phone at 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 and practical as the phone comes with a touch control music keys and music information displayed on the casing of the handset. You can use the controls to play, pause or fast foward the music.

The W380i comes with a very cool key locking feature which is simple to activate and very useful because it allows me to to lock the external keys, so therefore music will not accidentally start playing when the handset is in my handbag.

I think that the Sony Ericsson W380i is a good sized phone it measures 16mm in depth, 49mm in width & 92mm in height which is around a standard size for a phone. The handset is solid without being bulky & heavy which weighs 100 grams including the battery. The battery is very good for this phone; it can last up to 7 hours of talk time & 300 hours of standby battery.
The phone comes with 14 Mbytes of internal memory; this wasn't enough for me so I bought a memory card to expand my phones memory capacity so I could put more music on and photos.


This phone is excellent for any music lovers, you can ring take photos and listen to your favourite music, I recently broke my mp4 player and this has really come in handy for listening to music in the tube. There's a radio on this phone which also displays information from the radio station.
Has always sonny Ericsson has delivered fun features for yet another great phone which includes Mega Bass, Play Now and TrackID. The Mega Bass these feature allows me to enhance the bass of the music im playing which provides a higher quality sound for me to enjoy.
The Play Now feature isn't really necessary, as I don't download ringtones, it is very fast however but something I would use in the future.
The TrackID is my favourite fun feature it is a music recognition service which allows me to record a few seconds of a song that I like the sound of and this system will provide me with the name of the song, the artist & the album within seconds.
