everything on this phone is excellent except for its camera, the phones should must have a flas or some sort of autofocus and some other cybershot imaging tools for it to become the most and superior multimedia phone and the phones lacks wifi!

Anonymous, 02 Aug 2008So this phone really has the built in radio antenna, meaning you don't have to plug in the ear... moreyes this has FM transmitter and no need to plug the headphone, you can listen to FM radio without that and also operate all music related functions from the touch sensitive keys on the clam. also it has 3.2 MP camera and 8GB memory.

Anonymous, 02 Aug 2008So this phone really has the built in radio antenna, meaning you don't have to plug in the ear... moreWhen first announced, the Sony Ericsson W980 was also expected to have another cool radio feature. Back there in Barcelona, the prototypes used to have a built-in antenna that allowed listening to music without plugging in a pair of headphones.

In the end, this feature was ditched, much to our disappointment.

See page 5 on the review =(

If this is really true then I will certainly consider buying this phone now. Please, all those who have this phone, will you confirm this for me, i.e., that the retail version has a built-in antenna, and that there's no need to lug in the headphones to listen to the radio?

2nd good feature: FM transmitter - worthwhile consideration to buy this phone too , I guess.

Thank you :)

good points about this phone

1) touch sensitive keys perfect for music
2) 8GB memory
3) FM transmitter and the radio can works without the headphone (since in most of the phones headphone works as radio antenna)
4) the bottoom part of the phone where 'W' is written for walkan has dancing lights which dances on the beats o music.

these are only some of the good points, u really need to use this phone to feel it.

Kevin Deegan, 31 Jul 2008No offence meant but have you ever seen a v640 it looks nothing like the w980i its not even a ... moreI've got an even better idea - why don't you actually read the item you're criticising. My comment was a reply to somebody else who had been talking about the W902. I was NOT comparing the W980 to the V640, but the W902 which, from the front, does look kinda similar to the V640. If you're gonna pick holes in people's comments, at least read them properly...

maybe w595 speaker will better than w980 cause the stereo speaker of w595 is larger than w980... but i think w980 still better in headset audio quality because i think SE put a special sound chip to this phone (also w980 include hpm-77 the latest headset for high end walkman,the quality even better than hpm-70,the ordinary headset that you'll get in mid end walkman phone) after that both phones are comparable in other specs except internal memory...
but i think the price of w595 will cheaper than this phone...

Revenant, 11 Jul 2008Could be really cool if this is genuine, but it looks too much like a V640 to be anything real... moreNo offence meant but have you ever seen a v640 it looks nothing like the w980i its not even a clamshell design' If you gonna make a comparison to another phone at least research the other phone it helps.

does anyone have a problem with this phone auto restarting or auto shutting off? i just want to make sure it doesn't suck like the w910i which keeps having software probs.. also can anyone tell me for a fact if it has built-in fm receiver? i hate to use the earpiece for radio when i can use a wireless bluetooth one which is more convenient. thanks in advance =)
