Alan, 13 Jan 2009This is my first SE,and it's worst phone ever,why?? Batery last max 2 days only talking,displ... morethats one of the funniest comments that Ive ever read!!! u r comparing luna with this phone? in all aspects this phone outperfom luna except in design(thats a matter of taste) and battrey life(considering the screen and th usage) and that phone is two times more expensive than w980, that comparison was ridiculous! your opinion about screen is not true at all I have this phone for 6months without even a single scratch! if u call this plastci cheap plastic u sure dont know anything about plastic let alone the cellphone! the camera of w980 even outperform the one is built in on 5800 dont go far away just take a look at the photos of w715 in latest review of this site(w980 has got very same camera module) the only problem is the lackin of AF and macro mode which thats not a big deal for me but the camera is one of the finest camera of SE but again without AF and Macro mode!!
please for god sake if u dont know anythin about cellphone dont post here,

This is my first SE,and it's worst phone ever,why??
Batery last max 2 days only talking,display when compared to my old nokia 8600 Luna is joke.
Menu and when u write messages is so slow....
Internal display is so easy to scratch,outside plastic materials and display not to mention....
Only good thing is 8GB memory and design(cheap plastic).
Ooh yeah i forgot to tell about camera,my old phone with 2.0 mega is 2x times better.
Dont buy this phone,thrust me

Hi guys - I am thinking of buying this phone. Does the phone scratch very easily? I am put off by the fact that it catches fingerprints very easily. Does it look a mess? I guess that outdoors in the light it looks very bad with smudges, but do these wipe away easily? Thanks!

My phone is 3 days old and I have not turned back. Despite having about 5 handsets in 10 years, this has got to be the most easiest to operate - it is functional, easy to navigate and not over the top. I'm a technical and functional nut & this is just perfect. Despite all the negative feedback, I really dont know what people look for these days in cell phones but this handset is controllable and definitely won't control me.

Yorkshire-Guy, 06 Jan 2009Bought W980 to replace my W300. Phone is good but the battery is nothing like my old phone. Ch... moreto save battery life: set mobile network to GSM only (this is the most important), use simple and small size themes ( do not use flash themes), do not take picture often, reduce LCD brightness.

does anyone know how i could do it? it's doable. i know it is ...

Amazing phone! i love it!
i was quite bummed though that the fm transmitter doesnt work due to legal constraints eventhough it is allowed in my country. anyway, i've spent the last 2 days surfing the net trying to find any helpful information but in vain. i read about updating my phone's software, did that, doesnt work. i contacted SE, no helpful info, i even read that it was a simple setting i had to change (which made me go crazy cos i couldnt find it). any help from you guys?

I don't see it listed anywhere in the specs, but typically SonyEricsson does have this feature.

Is there any way to turn on oppening and closing sound (when I open or close phone). I read in one review that there is sound but I cannot find the way to turn it on?
