I will say the build quality is like the other sony ericsson mobile I had - maybe is w380 is little more sensitive on screen (when open) compared to my old k608i and k500 - w380 is cramshell and also thinner so the gap between the protective plastic in from the display and the actual display looks smaller than on k608i. so should probably avoid sitting on (like in having in back pocket)
also w380 is not designed for kids to throw around it (it's not been tested like kids toy like nintendo has done for it's game boys)
the keyboards seems better on w380 compared to my k608 - there is no problematic joystick and also no keys to accidental for w380 to go on the internet (can be very expensive then you are holidays - it have happened a few time with my k608). also w380 is better to type on compared to my older sony ericsson

Well the built quality is really cheap, my display knocked............., itself out withinh 2 days of buying the cell, had to get it replaced, sold the piece already, but the touch sensor are really great in Sony Ericsson phone. Its quite cheap overall good, but be carefull of the display.

Hi, I've read from a user below that the build quality is just bad plastic, is this true?

I've bought this phone as second next to my SE P1 and I have to admit this is good!
Good batterylife, walkman is terrific and it isn't slow! What more do you want for a second device....:-) The touch on the outside works perfect and is kinda cool if you compare it to my steady buss P1!
For me this is a decent phone that represents fun!

for all with questions about video on W380:
the phone can not record the video but the phone will play video - just make sure it's a 3GP format with the sound encoded in AMR (for example video received in a MMS or recorded with a sony ericsson k608i)
there is maybe a bug in the firmware since it will not videos (like 3gp with the sound encoded in mp3) or maybe a choice by sony ericsson since the w380 is budget model.
for people who has questions (or complains) about the back light on keyboard:
I have the black version of W380 and the back light is much stronger than on my former sony ericssons models (k500 and k608) so the keyboard is clearly visible in dark surroundings

what are you trying to say that buy a samsung, motorola or NOKIA...for your information dude samsung and moto has nice design but when it comes to features they lack so many features and about NOKIA well look at their new model low end phone today their ugly and I would rather buy SE rather then NOKIA, SAMSUNG and MOTOROLA...

This is the biggest pile of pants they have ever done, 1, no video 2, keypad is made of flimsy plastic, 3,keypad lighting is virually non existant,4, my 4 year old has better build quality fisher price phones, trust me dont buy it, heres the thing, i had a w300i two years ago, an older phone yes with only a vga camera but everything else was tip top. SE have gone right down in my estimation with their lower price phones. Lets hope they dont turn out anymore of this pap.

Great phone...just in the good looking aspect. Clearly is a low-med phone.
A friend has one and it has a problem: random shutdowns. And no firmware for her carrier is available.
Anyone else with in the same situation?

1) In response to the concern for the '3.5mm phone jack' it does have it. Only thing is it's on the actual (interchangeable) headpone cord which has been a normal feature since walkman phones by SE were made. (I think).
2) according to a thorough review that I read....... http://blog.se-nse.net/reviews...w380-review/ ..........It doesn't seem to have any of the fitness/shake control features.
