I'm the kind of person who cleans my stuff everyday after using. I only had the W980 for a few months, and despite having no need to clean the front on my previous phone, the W980 is a fingerprint magnet and requires it. The 'piano' black finish seems to be gradually coming off, and my W980 more or less looks transparent than opaque black; I can see the circuitry on the touch flip now...
As for battery life, I use a bluetooth headset for about 12 hours a day on the W980 (about 3 hours a day of use, the remaining on standby), and it lasts a good three days. With the included HPM-77, it will last about 5 days; both headsets used with music, calls, texting, and the occasional WAP browsing.

why not even one clamshell model never has autofocus- that is a big mistake - AUTOFOCUS MUST BE IN ALL SONYERICSSON MODELS - then SE will be no.1-- a friendly advice for SE managment - in a body of W710 put camera 3.2mpx-autofocus-xenon flash- led light -wlan - and you get the best phone in the world - and why volume key is no longer shortcut for letters when typing sms

Guys, this phone wasn't designed for camera purposes. So stop whining for the camera (w/c is not in comfy location) functionality. That's why it's W series. This is a walkman phone and it gives you more than enough for playing mp3 songs. I like the Sense Me functionality of this if you want to play songs that fit your mood of the day. :) As for the camera, well, it still give me the best shot even when I am riding my bike at 10kph. Daytime taken pictures were just great. I noticed though that the more songs you load, the more it slows when opening the media player but it never hangs up. I think this is normal if one brain is overloaded. It's front face is very sensitive on scratches so better place a screenprotector both displays the moment you buy it. By the way, use the packed CD SONY PC suite coz it can browse your memory phone (camera/music folder) via bluetooth. I can't explain why the most updated suite I installed can't see the phone memory. Hope this helps.

good audio quality . i think clear bass is like megabass . but the clear bass difference could be in the edit while the megabass can't .

Just curious, but was wondering if you place the W980 under a light source with the phone flipped down, can you see the 'circuitry' under the gloss finish on the lid? This is where the touch keys are. Like you can see the touchpad electronics under the gloss case when you place / view the W980 under a light source.
Cheers in advance

Bev, 05 Mar 2010even if the walkman is not open? as the w810i side music button used to do?there is 3 kind of menu in the external screen : music player, stand by and radio.
music player is the default one, when you touch the key, it will open the current track, then touch it again to play the music(you can also browse your music).
in the stand by menu, the key wont show up so you can do nothing.
while in radio, you need handsfree to make it work
