w980=], 05 Nov 2008w850 is old now..
not sure if they still sell.
shake control works when flips closed, but ... moreArgh!
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

mani, 02 Nov 2008I've had the Sony Ericsson W980 phone now for about 2 months. Swapped it for the Sony Ericsson... moreso it is definitely worth buying though?
or can you do a lot better?
also is the battery life ok if you don't

I've had the Sony Ericsson W980 phone now for about 2 months. Swapped it for the Sony Ericsson W960i (rubbish).
It's okay.
Very disappointed that the camera does not have flash. But when there is good daylight, it does take good quality pictures what I have uploaded on Facebook.
The Phone also has a FM Transmitter, which I think is a very good feature (if you can find a empty radio station).
The outer shell of the phone is very sensitive, it scratches very easily (need to be VERY carefull that you dont drop it).
The keypad feels comfortable when your writting a text.
The Music Player is fantastic!! The battery life is poor if you have been using the music player all day.
The menu layout seems a little dated.
But as long as the phone lasts me about a 1 or so, I will be happy.
