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

Anonymous, 17 Oct 2008Can sum1 plz tell me if this is as slow as the w960? i hope it's not...plz let me know. the re... moreW980 is a fast handset. It is deffinatley faster than the W960 b/c that runs on Symbian phones like all Nokia's which is why they are sooooooo slow now!!

Even fast while playing music if you need to go through your menu system :-)

Hope this helps. :-) PS WELL WORTH THE PURCHASE, better then iphone/N95/N96

i was wondering.. if i can have the screen with the date and time everytime i close the phone? instead of pressing the button on the side.

because right now when i close the phone, the external screen goes to the music player straight away.

thanks

It is not as slow as w960. W960 has a different operating system than w980. W980 is reliably fast. About the battery, it stays with me about 3days of moderate to heavy use (music, texting, calls).

Hey, i was thinking of getting this phone.
The thing is i haven't seen it in any shop, so i would have to get it online. Therefor, i need to know: is the keyboard small?(i'm a big guy with big hands :D) is the battery good? is it worth it? i mean all i like is the FM transmitter.
I would be choosing between SW W980 and Nokia 6500 slide, and i haven't made up my mind.

Any help is welcome. :)

donna,
Yes, the battery life sucks. I bought a spare battery off of Ebay for only $5 and keep it as a spare in my car in case of emergency.

My only complaint of the W980 is the 'molasses' slow interface and the most IMPORTANT button on the phone, the CALL button, is extremely small. Even though I have small fingers - I still have troble presing this tiny button

this is my third walkman phone and I love it apart from the battery needing to be charged every day, even though I hadnt even loaded any music onto it! Have sent it back as o2 said this is a common complaint - excellent phone in every other way tho xx
