the people who said that this phone is worse than s500i was totaly liar!!!
the speaker is louder almost two times louder than s500i speaker cause this phone has stereo loudspeaker... the video cam is good enought too because it can record in QVGA30 fps... for headset sound, this phone even better than nokia 5610!!!
believe me this phone maybe the only one walkman phone that SE has put a sound chip... because this phone sounding far better than any walkman phones before... i've just bought this phone three days ago for replaced my w910i... this phone is really2 absolutely far better in audio quality compare to the w910i!!!

Wondering if someone can help? Question: When on a call and you close the flip - does the display 'count the seconds' you're on that call? My Z550i does and I want to upgrade but want to ensure is does this. Thanks heaps in advance.

Anonymous, 29 Jul 2008whats the problem or w980? n w980 better or w595 better?it depends what you want, you can't compare apple and oranges. w980 is high end phone and w595 is mid to high end phone. so it depends on your requirements and budget.

As far as video recording is concerned, our test Sony Ericsson W980 unit went as far as QVGA at 15fps. We know better though than rushing to a conclusion about video capabilities of beta units. There have been several cases when handsets that could only reach QVGA@15fps in their prerelease stages went as far as QVGA@30fps in the retail version.

does this say MIGHT have it? no it doesn't it says that it did have the feature in the prerelease stages. although i admit i was off but not as off as you. so before u tell someone how to read why don't u go back and read then reread it before making urself look like ur smarter than everyone else mmmkay?

me, 29 Jul 2008i just picked up this phone yesterday. the sound quality is good but not great as xpected. it ... moreOk that's all I wanted to know about this phone. I really wanted a better music experience and video recording. I think the price tag is ridiculous way overpriced, I think I'll pick another phone with better features and even cheaper (maybe an S60). I think the big price tags are the main reason why SE is loosing market share.

i just picked up this phone yesterday. the sound quality is good but not great as xpected. it is clear and good but it sounds lower than my s500i. the dpad and soft keys are horrible to navigate bc it's to small. texting is great as the buttons are big and comfortable. i read the review on here and said the retail version had qvga 30 fps. if i remember correctly reading somewhere s500i only have qcif 15 fps but not sure. the w980 video is just the same if not even worst than the s500i. this was one of the selling point for me and big let down. picture quality is decent. camera position is a pain bc index has to sit right there. the lcd screen or qvga screen has low lighting. it's not even close to being bright like my s500i. i love flip phones and waited for this one but the features are bout the same as my s500i. thinking about sending this back. this phone is not worth 600 bout 400 maybe not even that. this phone is just eye candy nothing to brag about. the only thing i really like is the touch that is awesome. very responsive and easy to use.

Anonymous, 26 Jul 2008come on people, it worth even more than 500 euro. Just imagine the sound quality, that touch b... moreLet's wait for the reviews to see IF the phone is actually worth that type of money!

No AZ or flash for camera and no media slot even though it has 8GB of internal memory.

Too much hype so it's better to wait for actual buyers to post their comments!
