Sony Ericsson W980 - user opinions and reviews

Finally I've got the phone now. What I can say is, the music is great, the left channel and right channel do the job well, very well. The bass is not as strong as the megabass, but it is more comfortable to be listened to rather than mega bass. Talking about the camera, I don't really care, bcoz I bought this phone for music.
The FM transmitter could perform well and there is no disturbing noise, but the volume is about a half from the regular radio, so u must turn up the volume bigger than regular radio.
In conclusion, this phone is very recommended for music maniac, but it's not recommended for SMS maniac, coz the distance between one button to another is quite long.

Ive had this phone for about 3weeks and now I can answer some of ur questions; at first the battrey life of my w980 is magnificent 3days with intensive using and 4-5days with minimal usage(the best SE performance I've ever seen) I wonder about those complaints about battrey life seems they never even tried the w980,
anyway about sound quality I should admitt that its completely a matter of taste the base is not too high but the quality is magnificent I mean if u like pop, pop/rock and these stuff w980 goves u the best performance you've ever had but if you are a techno or hard rock lover u should consider some of new music minded nokia phones
the speakers work great again the best ive ever experience though its not the loudest but very good in loudness and excellent in quality and about the sound quality through the headphones again its louder than other SE phones but not louder than Iphone and some of nokia phones though i can never listen to the music at highest level two or three level downer than highest level works perfect and the quality as I said is magnificent for pop songs
I havent had any hang or something experience yet
java programs work perfect on the phone I have about 60game and 50programms on my phone and everything seems fine
my only problem is the restriction of fm transmitter i hope someone solve it very soon
the camera performance is much better than what i expected forget about AF and macro mode the camera is working great
and the interface is quite fast its not slow at all
making calls with this phone is kinda fun and incoming and outgoing voices are crystal clear no doubt about it
one of my frinds had asked that is it worth or not, my answer is that if u want to consider feature only maybe its not but don't forget this phone is a fashion minded phone so part of its price related to the design, if you want feature go for g900 if u want to be unique and fashionable and care for feature less w980 is a great choice

Anyway, this phone offers exceptional audio performance compared to that of any SE walkman phones out there. Does an excellent job though.

MWC, 20 Oct 2008W980 is a fast handset. It is deffinatley faster than the W960 b/c that runs on Symbian phones... moreYeah I agree you, in fact the audio quality of this phone is almost the same with the ipods. But for you to know, it can't still overpower the remarkable Iphone & N91 pedigrees which have higher dynamic ranges per test results.

Love this phone. Battery life is terrible, but the multimedia experience more than outweighs this.
Good looking phone, very light and cool.

thats really stupid IMo why nokia n78 hasnt got such a restriction and u can transmitt your songs through the fm easily but w980 has got this restriction? noone wants and actually cant compete with radio stations or do something wrong with this fm transmitter as far as its domination is not more than 10meter, what did they think to put such a restriction I really don't have any answers for that! Im very pleased with overall performance of my new cellphone but this stupid act has really disappointed me
