You may hopefully have realised that Japanese people (and us Asians in general) don't really have the size of 'body built' that Europeans and Western people have (ie, we Asians have small hands thus fingers)
The W980 has a extremely well laid out number pad. But yes, you are correct in saying that the D-Pad area is a wee bit crowded. Bad use of space, I'd say...

Why do these idiotic designers always have to place the keys so close together? The keypad on this phone is a great design until you get to the call and cancel keys which are almost molded into the soft keys. Fucking stupid asses...
SE arent the only ones, but on most of their phones they have this same tendency of putting the soft keys right next to the call or cancel keys. This is one of the main reasons why I have bypassed a lot of the SE models, cause I hate pressing two or three keys at the same time...

I would have chosen Nokia purely due to the fact that it is alot more customizable than the W980 app-wise.
The W980 though cannot be overlooked in regards to audio-quality. SE is not in my good books and hasn't been for a while, but they did get one thing right - audio algorthym. I've gotten through Samsungs, iRivers, Apples, and Sonys, all of which were full-time mp3s and iRiver and Samsung having DSPs unlike the W980, but it beats them all hands-down.
I do hear Cowon S9 and the new Sony Walkman A series do pretty well with proper DSPs, but have yet to test them out. Though I guess that the Sony A will sound pretty similar...

I so wanna buy this phone. Luckily i went through the following posts and discovered that this mobile has software issues too. I had a brand new W950i which stopped working in a month or so. Could never powered it again. Tried 1 million things but nothing worked. Even wrote to sony ericsson. Nothing worked. people just be careful, look for all the flaws it has and then go for it if you want to. peace!
