    I bought this phone two weeks back.

    And its pretty impressive.User Friendly features are excellent. 8GB is more than enough sure beats the iPhone in looks and price,and features except for internet surfing..
    Few problems could be
    - The cover surface though a fingerprint nightmare is even 'not scratch proof' so the slightest scratch can be noticable on close observation..

    And the operating system is a lil bit slow than usual sony phones.. probably a microsecond slow but I could feel the difference between my old 580 and this in speed.

    I just hope Sony makes sexy phones like these in the future or inthe coming year perhaps..when i shall buy a new phone..

If you don't want your phone is viewed by other people or friends, don't let them borrow your phone. You can prohibit them to not see your personal files. If they can't do what you said, don't lend your phone!

      You would like to lock your files? Hmmm.. I had read there is an application, named Ultimate SMS (it is compatible for Nokia phones that use Symbian OS only). It can protect messages by password. Many applications like Ultimate SMS and most of them are Symbian OS support only. So, I advice you to find an application that compatible with Java MIDP 2.0 that can protect your files in internet. Hope this will help.

        Sheila, 12 Aug 2009hi all,when someone calls me can i open the phone without answering that call?coz from outside... moreSheila! In Sony Ericsson Z310i, if you would like to open the flip, but you don't want it answer automatically when someone calls you, go to Settings>Calls>Open to answer, choose Off. So, I think W980 can do that too, but I don't know whether it has that option like in Z310i or not.

                          I just bought the phone but the FM transmitter does'nt work. :( it says that it was due to regional legal constraints. Does anyone have any idea on how to overcome this problem?

                                      In my opinion, Sony Ericsson W980 is good. I've seen and touch its dummy. The design is good too. Big internal memory, good features, large colorful external screen like Motorola RAZR, HSDPA support, its keypad made in plastic (seems good). In my country its price is about US$ 279 now.

                                        Anonymous, 05 Aug 2009I've recently bought w980 and it's really a great phone. But when I connect the phone to compu... moreI think this function is common on Sony Ericsson phones. Connect the phone via USB to the computer, make it a modem for browsing internet for example, will reduce its battery life so fast. So, if you said your phone starts charging when you connect it to the computer, it means your don't need worry if the battery life empty, because your phone is charged while you do something, for example browsing internet.

                                        But, if you don't like this function and you want stop it. Press: right, *, left, left, *, left, * (in the standby display/homescreen). This code is available for all Sony Ericsson phones. If correct, it will appear new submenus. Find USB Charging (On/Off) in it.
