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

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.

Lover, 01 Nov 2008Can you tel me wich is louder w980i or w850iim now on my second w980.
both phones froze and shut down when listening to the walk man. i have the latest updates and turn the phone off every night.
also the 5 button seems depressed to far. i dont no if its design or another fault.
im gutted as i wanted this phone so badly but now im thinking of getting rid and getting maybe the c902 or a lower w series. i had the w850 and that was exelent and never had a problem with that.
has any one else had shut down issues when listening to mp3's on the walkman?

I think that my battery life is pretty bad. Re charging every second night. :( Keys are slightly awkward and i find the software a little slow. My previous handset was the W850i and it seemed more responsive.
