    Mrs, 16 Aug 2008Geesss...I am so into this thing!..Currently, I am using G900 and when I saw SEW980, I simply ... moreThe volume is pretty high, I haven't heard w910 but in reviews I read w980 is quieter only than dedicated MP3 players like ipod and sony's own. The phone is very solid nad the materials are excellent, have got mine for 10 days now and not a single scratch. Yes there is a lag in some places in the interface of the phone and the player but I don't find it much annoying. The phone is a real marvel I can't stop wiping it's screen and quite ofter I catch myself looking at it for minutes on end like an imbecile :) I am getting scared that I become obsessed by this damn thing :-D

        I have bought this phone 4 days ago

        main positives:
        -loud speaker, stereo
        -excellent UI and stable
        - a joy to use, u wont get bored from it for a while
        -great looks and lght wight
        -good camera but not at low light
        - good speaker phone/ works when phone is closed

        main negative side:

        - external screen/controls is only for walkman/radio.. i cant view my missed calls.
        - while using the FM transmitter, it is interupted when i get a call, after i end the call it is not resumed.
        -i cant have the FM transmitter as a shortcut.
        - too slow tranfering music from my MAC
        - I expected the FM tranmitter to pe higher quality.

          Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I am a Handphone Freak..and I normally go to this shop at Far East 1st floor beside an art shop near to the toilet. Can't remember the name of the shop but they did sell cheap mobiles w inclusive of the 7% interest. Plus they take high prices if you intend to trade in/sell off your current hp. And it is a local/full set w 1yr guarantee.Check it out!!

            Geesss...I am so into this thing!..Currently, I am using G900 and when I saw SEW980, I simply lay my eyes on it. But before I get this thing, few questions:
            1. Is the volume as loud as W910 or W960?
            2. Does it lag?
            3. Does the front easily scratch?

It's been weird. the first 3-4 days of having the phone, the battery only lasted a day and a half. Now, two weeks later, the battery will last two and a half days. Maybe I'm just breaking the batter in.

                      sip, 12 Aug 2008Well, the phone is my hands for 5 days now, and it is really a pleasure. I've had touch Diamon... moreWell SIP you're right!
                      I tried some snap shots today.
                      The quality of the pitures isn't that great. My former phone was SE w880i.
                      I think the quality of camera of w980 (3.2 Mpixel) is lousier than w880i, although w880i is only a 2M pixel. Can't believe it though.
                      But i never believe in cellphone's camera, no matter it's 5 mpixel, or 8 mpixel. The reason we stick to SE WALKMAN hp is mainly because of the superior MUSIC PLAYER!
                      For Camera? Just get a digicam!

                        I dont have this phone, but on all the other SE phones I had, the LED goes on and off when the battery is really flat. It is not for miss calls or sms or faulty phones.

                        As soon as you charge it, it stop blinking.

                          ishu, 14 Aug 2008A question.., After the close, does the phone display the wallpaper in the mini-screen like t... moresorry no lol. only the Walkman thingy will appear. but u can use the side button on the right to change btw WM/radio/time&date display. but it's not able to change permanently because it will just return to the WM screen after u open and close the flip again by default. kinda bumped about it as i wanted to have the time&date display as my default for the external screen.

                            After the close, does the phone display the wallpaper in the mini-screen like the N76/Moto razr??
                            Other than displaying the walkman, what other features have been embedded to be shown on the mini-screen?

                              lol for all u people out there wondering wtf the LED light does on the left side of the phone, heres the answer i got from SE: "With regards to your inquiry, the LED light in the left side of the phone is an indication that if it is blinking with a red light is that the phone is hanged or is faulty already. It is an indication for us to check that the phone is having some problems internally. It is perfectly normal if that will not be blinking with any indications." An extremely dumb 'feature' if u asked me, it should have been for un-read sms and missed calls!

                                  lockplay, 14 Aug 2008Anna - Yes, the camera lens IS in an awkward position. Whatever hand your are holding ... morebuttons are slightly small i agree but u'll get used to it. and i think u'll just flip it open to answer and close to end call. doesn't really matter if u r in a hurry to do that as its pretty easy.

                                        Yes, the camera lens IS in an awkward position. Whatever hand your are holding it in - your pointer finger will get in the way. You have to hold your hand in an awkward, uncomfortable position. Picture quality is pretty good, though.

                                        My biggest problem with the phone is the Call and Drop Call buttons. They are Way too SMALL. You end up pressing the Shortcuts menu button all the time.
                                        Maybe i'm just too used to my W850i - i love that phone
