positives-great internal space, sound quality. great design. all round my favorite phone ever

but it does have its flaws- camera- WILL NOT ZOOM ON ANY SETTING BUT VGA which is annoying. the phone can creak a little bit and tends to lag a tiny bit.

other than that i love this phone

it's more perfect if you use HPM-83, that's the truly quality of W980

surely, HPM-77 is rubbish

I bought this phone 2 weeks ago. Its performance did not let me down. It does not lag also. The walkman-on-top is perfect, with no lag while playing tracks. There is vibration on those touch buttons when pressed,making tracks-choosing easy and effortless. The music quality is good, and with headphones on, the music is clear and nice.

However, rock musics are not as nice when listenned on headphones, which is quite disappointing. The headphones must also be connected to an adaptor which i find it troublesome and unglem.

Next, the camera is fast, does not take pictures too slowly. However the pictures are generally big in size if taken in 3MP. There is also no flash no autofocus. But i am still happy with the picture quality.

The other features like 8Gb of memory is wonderful, allowing me to put in many games and music as i like, without worrying for the space. Its abundant space is good. The colour display is great too. The light that flashes along with the music is also cool and wonderful. The loudness of the phone is good enough, the battery is also acceptable, its not bad.

Overall, i would give the phone 8/10. :)
Score loss at the camera and some small errors that will occur which require the phone to be switched off n on again to recover.

Any user would kindly give more feedback about this phone? I would like to have 1, but I'm worry about the performance and feature of it.

Is the camera clear?
Is the sound clear?
Is the performance lag? (Due to share memory 8GB)
