This S.E. W980 is very beautiful and it's design is quite interesting especially it's button. I think this is a good phone and i also believed the quality of Sony Ericsson. It's bad place is this phone had no flash, so the quality of photo is not very good la!If this phone cost not very expensive, i will buy this phone.

anthony, 05 Nov 2008Argh!
Sorry for being a bother, esecially to w980=] who's been answering all my questions, ... morehello again. haha its not bothering =] its good that ur asking alot of question, because im sure others have the same questions too.. and ur stuck with the phone for years, so its better to find the perfect one.
for ur question, yes it does work with flip close..
but im sure if u wanna switch transmitter on, u have to set it with flip open. (as in going into walkman, then options.. so on)

Sorry for being a bother, esecially to w980=] who's been answering all my questions, and might answer this again (really appreciate your comments man).
This definitely would be my last question (I'll do comments after this, since I'll be getting W980), does the W980's FM transmitter work while flip is closed? Cause I saw in a YouTube demo, they demonstrated it while the flip is open. Definitely not cool, especially while driving hehe!

Hi again!
The Shake Control is a really cool thing in most recent W-Series right? Does the W980's Shake Control work even when the flip is closed? Cause it would really ruin it if you still have to open-flip before shake.
Thanks!

Mani, 05 Nov 2008What really attracted me to this phone was the FM Transmitter. Although I have a MP3 plyer in ... moreyes, definitely a good feature, but personally prefer a CD. i think the FM transmitter uses too much batt aswell. thats another thing i prefer a mp3 disc.
but anyway. my screen protector isnt peeling off, maybe u didnt put it on properly, make sure the edges dont stick out =]
i have a crystal case on, and it isnt that big. only bad thing is, hard to press the volume button with the case on =]

w980=], 04 Nov 2008FM transmitter is a new feature. BUT ull get over it.
especially those who uses it in the car... moreWhat really attracted me to this phone was the FM Transmitter. Although I have a MP3 plyer in my car, I still liked the idea of having this feature on a phone, and having the 8GB memory on the phone helps aswell - (as I have a Music player, Camera and a Phone all in 1) - and I dont have to be in a car to get it working. Yes, it does disconnect when you recive a call - however mine automatically re-connects itself when I have finished the call. The sound quality in my car is the same as a C.D (when I can find an empty radio station. . .
The screen on the phone is TOO small. When I record a video or have taken a picture, I wont be able to view it clearly, but I was impressed when I connected it to my laptop.
I tried a case for the phone, bought it of ebay aswell, the phone felt twice as big, so I took it off. Personally I dont like bulky handsets. Screen protectors - tried aswell, within a week, they peel off!
The sound quality I would say is a lot better with the earphone then without, although it is loud, it doesnt have a good quality sound.
Personally, overall, I would give this phone a: 6.5 out of 10...

mani, 02 Nov 2008I've had the Sony Ericsson W980 phone now for about 2 months. Swapped it for the Sony Ericsson... moreFM transmitter is a new feature. BUT ull get over it.
especially those who uses it in the car.
u have to press so much buttons each time u start the car.
and the fmt ransmitter disconencts when u get a call.
and u have to go thru the whole process again.
also, the sound quality isnt as great, so u might as well just use a CD =]
as for the scratchs, u can always get a case on ebay =] and if u dont like cases, get screen protectors..
they fit perfect, and if u do it properly.. it doesnt look like u have a screen protector at all =]

Hi guys!
Just wanna ask*(typo)..for those who already own W980, does the phones sound quality without the headphone, just as good as with the headphones?
Yes, some of you guys may think that this is a stupid question, for reasons like, who would listen loud in public, etc. But me and my mates listen to our previous music phones just like that(hanging out, jamming, etc). So just wanna ask if it's still good. Would really appreciate even a little comment :D
Thanks! SE-W Series rock!!!
PS: W980 for music, c90#(forgot) i think for camera. So choose what suits you :D
