    Anonymous, 08 Nov 2008I really don't like that kind of design and especially the transparant part. It makes the phon... morereally? i thought it was clever.
    since the screen isnt that big..
    the clear part.. and the way the hinge works makes the screen dont appear as small

      i want to ask about the sound and battery life. Does this phone havelonger battery life than other walkman series? and how about the mega bass, is it incredible? if we compare to w910,w902,and w980 which has the most outstanding sound?And then about the construction,does this phone have solid construction? I'm afraid of the flip design because usually it will not long lasting thx b4

          I really don't like that kind of design and especially the transparant part. It makes the phone look like a big piece of plastic.

              Faisal, 07 Nov 2008Please tell me any body that i want to know the main difference of sound and voice quality bet... moreThe first thing u will find out in w980 and not found in W810 is the bass, no matter how hard the bass, u will listen it clearly and smoothly there is no distortion in the bass, thanks to the clear bass

              Then after u listen for quite some time and u will notice that u can hear all of the voices from the song clearer than the previous walkman phone, thanks to the clear stereo.

              The clear stereo and clear bass are the perfect combination for music listening.

                  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!

                                    w980=], 04 Nov 2008its loud and wont crack. but the bass dont seem to be as strong as the w850. Thanks man! At least now I have an idea and where to compare it to (W850). Will get this one then.

                                    BTW rumor has it that a better version of this will be made (not the W902)

                                      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...
