Sony Ericsson W880 review: No catch, plain thin
Sony Ericsson W880 is the newest addition to the Sony Ericsson Walkman line. Nothing uncommon here, we’ve seen lots of those. The most unusual thing about it though is its form factor – an ultra slim bar-shaped handset with plenty of cool features to offer. Take 3G network support, add a 2 megapixel camera, spice it up with a M2 memory card slot and Bluetooth and finally put it all in the slimmest shell possible and you will get a great result – the Sony Ericsson W880.

The name of the theme with the menu in one line is called Cityline and it's pretty cool, when using Walkman and you return to the main screen, it's red and constantly displays the name of the song. The main downside to this phone is the reception. I had the w850 before and even tho they're both on tri-band, w880 has worse reception. However, the w880 is significantly smaller. No FM radio does not matter to me since I live in a small city where the radio sucks.

Does anyone know what is the name of the theme (the 2nd page of the review by GSMArena), where the menu icons are in one line???? It looks like Orbit, but not quite. I got this phone from Vodafone, but looks like this theme was not pre-installed...

its quite a bummer that they did not put any FM radio on such a high end music phone like that... and whats worst, the camera has no LED flash! I'd rather get the w900 or the w850 and it has way more quality of loudspeakers as this review says... its sexy though =}

I currently own a w850i and the battery life is great better than my previous 6280. So it would apply here - no Radio is a let down however i hardly use it since i am always uploading music to my phone. Otherwise they couldve made the screen size larger and possibly made the video camera a better res. symbion... hmm not sure if se will implement it however atm i think there os is pretty good.

Does the headset HPM-80 (w900) fit the w880?...This could be a solution to the missing fm radio...

A note to SIM card switchers: It's quite hard to get the SIM card out. Try before you buy.
I may buy one anyway, but will keep my old phone to avoid card switching.

This phones sick, big change for SE with size and its paid off witht the 3g intact. Sound very impressive inc wid headfones. yes buttons are dodgy, bt fank god for shortcuts. SE has the best user interface, i got the phone on o2 bt it works fine wid a voda sim. Light slim sexy and unique for SE. now i had a w900i, loved it, evn wid its 2mg cam it workd like a 3. shame u cant zoom wen takin pics, bt honestly u wont care wid the looks of the fone.

I used to have a Z1010 and I miss my SE :( the only thing I'd like to know before I went back to a SE is, have they removed the 100 message limit for SMS messages yet? That's the only thing that really bothers me... even Nokia series 40 phones go up to about 1000 messages, which I find pretty handy...

I work at P4U, and i can honestly say this is THE WORST SE i have ever used. Really bad. No Zoom, no radio.
No good.

i had play with one of these and my gosh are they small. it's a really nice looking handset alot of advantages with the size. i think that it shouls have a fm radio due to the nature of the phone but without it it is almost as good can't wait to get one. main disadvantage is the keys are a little fiddly but other then that same software component of all other SE very user friendly and very cute. and PS they have a non 3G style W850 i can't remember what the model is but if you open your eyes and have a look there are alot of new models coming out that are not 3G compliant.
