  • This is a good phone but i have found after 12 months or so it starts freezing a lot. Otherwise its great! FM Transmission is a corker.

  • stimmt es dass man das hintergrundbild nicht wechseln kann??

  • Haha...

    I ended up choosing T707. The pink one...

    Apart from the camera and sound system, i can say that it's a good phone.

  • im still stuck! this is so confusing

  • one slight problem here: they don't come with an inbuilt fm radio which can be used without the need of an external aerial. But apart from that all he said was true!

  • sera q presta???

  • anyone no how much aussie dollars

  • Better spending the extra money and buying in store in case of any problems IMO.

  • I bought mine yesterday in Carphone Warehouse for £109.

  • yeah im trying to find it for cheaper..

    i can get it for 80 pounds at the least but thats it...

  • Nice and quick video! My 2yr contract is ending this September. Can't wait to get this. And it's really affordable! 8GB! AHHHHHH! :D

  • 8 giga butt?.. Lol

  • ayt giga butt, I mean,, ;D

  • Is it true that the touch sense buttons get broken (stop working) easily?

  • hmm.. hw do u get the colour lights at the keypad?

  • weird my w980 needs handsfree to get its radio working but it's fm transmiter is working perfectly help...

  • All Sony Ericssons need the headphones/handsfree for the radio because the wire acts as an antenna.*apparentley*

  • what would be the sony ericsson music phone to get now

  • sony ericsson w995 and the idou so far...

  • Is it a good phone in general?... Does it scratch so easily?...Would love honest opinions before I make up my mind, thx.

  • It's a Okay phone, music sounds great, only thing is it is a finger print nightmare you'll have many stains on it if ur always sweaty.... i have this phone

  • i have it too, and really the finger print is a nightmare but nothing to worry it cleans easy, and the phone is great

  • Umm. Can I ask you if the FM Transmitter can connect to ANY radio and play your MP3 songs? Or does the radio have to have some kind of bluetooth or something? Sorry, not really good at these stuff. ;D

  • the fm transmiter doesnt need any thing than a radio, you just need to put the radio fm in a empty station, then put the radio transmiter in the same station, and press start, and ur songs will be heared in ur car or another radio receptor ;P

    (sorry my bad english)

  • Thanks so much! :D

  • can i take pictures using the external screen?

  • same question here

  • Yup

  • Hello,

    I sent a message to SonyEricsson. com with question why radio is not working without the handsfree. They said that there was a few prototypes created with that function, but for some reason they rejected this possibility.

  • That's because there's no signal-thing on the outside, isn't it?

  • oui

  • The hands-free acts as the arial.

    Thats why you have no radio without it.

  • how much is this?

  • just found out some country have restrictions on build in radio antenna so i think i'll depend on the phones coming from which country maybe mine has been remove

  • this was when didier drogba needed a new phone lol

  • how do i delete all my music at once?

    i have downloaded too many of the wrong songs off my computer and want to delete them all then re download some...

  • Just go to your music folder when you connect the USB cable, and delete all files. Other way is using the sony ericsson media manager but that'd take longer time.

  • my w980phone needs headphones to get its radio work. is this a glitch or something? pls help...

  • obviously not

  • this phone or the ku990 viewty

  • my radio needs to use the headphones to work

  • thats strange coz this model has the anthenna built in u shouldnt need the headphones , but check the configuration though.

  • "eight gigabyte.. eight eight eight eight gigabyte internal memory" lolol

  • Yeah, thats my cell

  • i have seen this model in some videos and some of them have a white

    keypad light, and some others have blue keypad light?? can we select the

    keypad light???

    what is the Microsoft Exchange support function???what is it for??can u use

    the secondary camera for self-portrait???

    thanks

  • what colour is your keypad light? white or blue? coz in this video is blue but ive seen other videos of this same model but with a white keypad light. :(

  • i got this just now!

    though the video and the camera wasnt that good

  • i have seen this model in some videos and some of them have a white

    keypad light, and some others have blue keypad light?? can we select the

    keypad light???

  • The indicator light turns on at certain times, like when your battery is low it becomes red, when its done charging it becomes green, etc.

    And for the keypad light, I don't know if you can chose between white and blue, but I know it becomes orange when you open the Walkman feature.

    I got this phone today and its pretty awesome, looks very good and haven't found any flaws with it really.

  • THANKS A LOT MAN!!!!! U ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO ANSWERED THESE QUESTIONS COZ NOONE ELSE KNEW ABOUT THESE DETAILS, STILL I GOTTA SOLVE THE STRANGE THING THE BLUE AND WHITE LIGHT COZ IF U CHECK U LL SEE SOME VIDEOS HERE OF THIS MODEL WITH WHITE OTHERS WITH BLUE.can u use the second camera for self-portrait? THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR ANSWERS DUDE! IMGONNA GET THIS PHONE SOON DEPENDING ON UR ANSWERS.

  • Still noe idea about the white and blue lights, maybe its dependant on W980 and W980i? Or maybe they made them blue first, then changed it to white, or maybe its random from phone to phone.

    About the second camera, the only way I've gotten it to work is with video phonecalls, not taking pictures, but you can record and then send later.

    And for the built in antenna, its to transmit stuff, not recieve it. You can transmit stuff to closeby people.

  • hmmmm good point, i never thought about the difference between w980 and w98oi! hmmm im gonna ask.

    -nice information about the second camera,noone on utube has published that info.!thanks!

    -well,the built-in antenna is to receive radio signal(without the need of headphones), the FM transmitter is to send ur music to a radio, and to send other stuff as files is the bluetooth,thats as far as i know.u should be able to get radio signal without headphones,right?u tried?

  • Well, I have the w980, and I have yet to find a way to recieve radio stations without using the headphones.

    Don't know if the w980i is any different in that area.

  • thats strange coz this model has the anthenna built in u shouldnt need the headphones , but check the configuration though, even in this video they say u dont need headphones anymore to get radio stations(at minutos 1:29). hmmm im gonna check that with the guys of SE. and then write u back man.

  • wtf? my w980i keypad color is brownish-pink not black n the light is white not blue. fyi-the demo tour of the w980i, the keypad light is purple. wierd, lol. ps-is the walkman series over??? :'( they gotta make the w990i...

  • hows the video?

    how many FPS?(or someting like that)

  • were can i get that phone i have the W300 and theres a good chance i maght switch to verizon were can i get it online

  • its look sucks.

  • got it

  • im 11 yrs old my dad bought it for me and when i play a song the light follows the vibration of the music! its cool!.. and how u make the key pad blue?

  • vibration? myn dusnt get any, ohwell.

  • hi! i wanted to ask u about the SE W980i what is that light indicator at the right of the main camera close to the battery??? that little dot indicates what??? its at the right side of the main camera.

    maybe u can make a video about that light indicator i just mentioned coz noone on utube has a video about that.

    thanks in advance for ur kind reply.

  • its the fm transmitter thingy! i haf diz fone and whenever i use the fm transmitter, the light turns on! so im guessing its for the fm transmitter! =)

  • my phone glow white too. why this phone is blue?

    anyways, i need to plug in the earphone only can activate the radio. why this doesnt need.. .

  • can anyone tell me how he got his buttons to glow blue??? i wanna know cause i have this phone it it glows white

  • It only glows white. It's just the way the camera is so it makes the white look a bit blue

  • hey man im from sweden and i dont talk so good english so give som respekt BIIIAAATCH and im just 13 years old so fuck you nawepawe

  • Calm down there little buddy...You won't get any respect by demanding it nor will the use of course language get you anywhere And consider this; Your English is far better than most other people speak Swedish ;)

    OT: I like the specs, but not the design.

    this phone, isn't worth the hype building up to it, the w595 is much better, but i dont think its out yet

    if you need a phone right now, get the w760, i have it and its a honest to goodness walkman phone... the camera just needs flash...

  • yeah i dun like flip too...but my cousin dun seem to care and bought it

  • is this mobile good?

  • este cel ya esta disponible en Mexico; lo trajo Coppel y esta costando $5500 de contado

  • is phone good? and if it is how much is it for pay as you go on o2?

  • BE careful peeps. This version of the Sony phone seems to have driver issues with Ubuntu 8.04. In time like all hardware I guess it will be addressed but please don't by it expecting it to work on Ubuntu unlike other Sony phones which many peeps by because of it's Linux compatibility. This phone currently has drivers issues... There are around 28 million Linux users.. Sony - what are you doing! sort it out!!!!

  • great music phone, but its other specks kinda suck.

    shame cause i was looking forward to this phone when it was first announced.

  • same as the charging port ?

  • U try read the manual? ahhaha

  • Bass isn't that great on it. Too bad :( Ah well, nothing is perfect. Still keeping it of course. :)

  • Looking For New Phone, Either Sony Ericson C902 Or The W980. Which One People???

  • C902 is really good with the face recognition.If you would go for pictures,C902 is the answer,if you would go for music,w980 is the answer....

  • Overall Excluding Music And Pictures Which One Do You Think i Should go for? Thanks For Replying

  • I would go for the C902

    I HATE THE LOOK OF THE BUTTONS

  • I think you should go for the w890i,since you excluded pictures and music.This phone is overall in all features.I recommend you Sony Ericsson w890i!

  • W980. definitely. apart from music and pictures, this phone has amazing games, and options for contacts, calls, profiles. has gr8 themes. i had the other one before. didnt like it much. definitely this W980.

  • why cant i get both~!

  • If you looking for music, this the w890

    If your looking 4 camera choose the C902

  • look, this phone (the W890i does not have mega bass! so how is it good 4 music

  • the inside screen is like kinda small .. but i like it though ..

  • I bought this one today. The FM transmitter is truly awesome, especially while diving! Just download all of your favourite songs to your phone, then you can just use the radio as your wireless speakers.

    I have a feeling I won't be using my CD player much in the near future.

  • driving* :(

    How about giving us an edit button? Atleast I could not find one.

  • wow!that's really cool ...I'm considering buy this in a few days~

  • I can´t really decide if this phone is nice or not... I think I like the design on the W595 more but this phone seems to be better... Ghaa can´t decide which one to buy!!!!

  • Fm transmiter in phone good idea :D

  • Questions people!

    Are the WAP functions pretty advanced on the erricson? Able to boomark pages, good quick connectivity, able to load up 'non mobile enabled' site. Ive got an N76 at the mo, need it to be as good or better.

    In the headphone socket on the phone, is it adabtable to any headphones or shaped for an Erricson specific one?

    Ive never had a phone with touch sensitive buttons on the outside, is there a phone lock to stop these from kicking of when in your pocket etc?

    Ta

  • About the internet im not sure but i think its just as good/better than a N76. The other 2 questions im sure about. You get an adapter with a 3,5mm jack (standard headphone jack) and a microphone built in on it (mby a volume-controller to, not sure) so u can plug in any type of headphones. The buttons on the outside are mostdefently lockable, would be pretty annoying if it switched songs when u where walking now wouldnt it be? ;) glhf with this phone I know im buying it soon.

  • proper impressed with the built in transmitter - cant wait to upgrade - wlkaman phones are the nuts!! - good battery life i hope

  • i am seriously gona get this phone
