[Dontpickmelast101]

why do i always find myself watching these old phone videos :l

[blekdregen]

my htc hd2 is better :D and almost thinner :O

[nizziezzar]

i really miss these thin cell phones.. now sony ericsson just makes phones with curved backs.. sure it feels better to hold but it makes the phone really fat..

[Nissez0r]

Miss my W880i. :(

[kalvaza]

*sigh* I had one of these for 3 years and just recently I dropped it, snapping it clean in half. >_<

Surprisingly tough to find a phone these days just as small and slim.

[100marci100]

I very love this phone!!

[KairysKepenys]

i already have one :)

[razanet16]

i bought this Fone today awesome Phone for making calls and listen music on it thats it

[HAMCFTW]

omg i want to get this fone so badly but i can only get it on ebay but i dont hav a credit card :(

[EIMYL112]

@HAMCFTW why would you want it? it's over 3 years old and isn't even very good

[ShahsendFhung]

can anyone tell me where is the speaker is??? i don't see it at all...kinda confuse me???

[tack162]

It Is The 3 Dots At The Top Range Of Dots At The Bottom Rear

[SilverdaleDubs]

The speaker is at the back, next to the camera lens.

[skypar]

near the camera at the back lol..

[ryutim]

[Avataryoutuification]

I try putting flash themes in w890i, i even go through the fs too put it in desktop and the theme in themes still nothing happens, i try de branding the phone, nothing happens... -_-

[whateverlzzm]

i had this phone in silver. but the other day i got drunk and went for a swim in a river by my house and then it was broken lol

[TarkatanArmy]

wtf LMAO

[massakiller0]

I have a orange marked se W880i but i want to unlock it to vodafone. My current provider people say that you need a code, but wich one?

Greets Niels

[Avataryoutuification]

U need too hack it, welcome too the se nse comunity! use xss+ or a2 uploader, find gudies on how to unlock it on se nse. Its easy just don't brick it or u'll have problems hacking after wards.. if u brick it u'll have too re flash or use SEUS ( god thats the worst road, it will update your phone and make it harder too hack)

[xxNigerianBaybexx]

i have dis fone. i like it buh i never knew i never came wiv radio.

[autoscrub]

Best looking phone you can get, and the slimmest phone I've ever seen. A phone with a plastic case can never compete with a metal phone on looks, it's as simple as that.

[arkasiradakiler26]

i have dis phone

[monktonplayer]

I have this phone, its good but i have got it fixed 2 times in the last 2 months (broken screen), it brakes easily bcos its to slim lol but its a good phone

[Wardy1000]

i have this phone its currently in for repairs because the microphone isn't working a few of my friends who have it have had similar problems to .However its nice to look at and easy to navigate main problem is the buttons though just to small.

[xxKaterinaxx]

This fone is bad,

iv had it 5times the same fone and it keepss breakin! x

[m4kaveli82]

lol why did you buy it 5 times then

[xxKaterinaxx]

cause thts the only phone they'd let me have on my contract, so they just kept givin me a new one that kept brakin and doin the same thing ha x

[m4kaveli82]

lol ok. i still have mine lol.

[Kismonos03]

I've got this phone since 24th of november, it works perfect, and nothing problem.

[oscardbolanos]

i bought a a new one and a week later wouldnt turn on any more phone is garbage

[goffl100]

sik music player gﾑﾘ 乃oﾉ

[cocoabutter146]

i have it n the camera is crap!

[komkommer6]

if u consider buying this then these are good tips:

-Keypad is horrible !!

-U can't feel it vibrating when it's in your pants like any other SE !!

I now prefer NOKIA phones but their battery lifes sucks !!

So I keep my W880 instead...

[tjalolx]

Is this a good quality phone that doesnt break after 1 month? My shitty s500i phones speaker broke after 1 month and i had to repair it, now its broken again. I need a new one, i cant hear when people call me :[.

[Voldika113]

k800i is better

[Sadin15]

Wicked!!!

[iloveitwhenuspamme]

dis fone si gd for filming urself naked like i do

[Vmt16]

I got my w880i 15 months ago and its the best phone ever. Some features like getting it mute with the push of one button and getting frantic as your alarm signal is awesome. If you are considering getting a sony ericsson, get the w880i, you won´t regret it.

[snidenlukeo9]

sony erricson walkman phone w880i is the best

[ExiaExteel]

Buy its Evolution[His brother]

w890i its slimer and better

[EclipseDippy]

hav this fone 2

[rodischa]

have this phone, and i love it !!

[Templarofsteel18]

same here :P

[EmperorFishFinger]

And me! And Nokia sucks!

[itex999]

yes

[Kyo1105]

I'm using a w880i which i got last year. Its a good phone.

[Kismonos03]

i can't choose!

[Kismonos03]

Guys, pls help me. Nokia 5310 or Sony ericsson W880I?

[cornflaker]

I'd go for the W880i

[cornflaker]

Get the Sony Ericsson W880I, I am :D

[Jooosh24]

I have this phone, everything is great, except the sound quality.

[EclipseDippy]

totally agrre, its dodgy

[davidmckrossi]

In my opinion w880i is optimum cellular of Sony ericsson already launched, says of all, as much of walkman how much of the other versions. This cellular one is exactly different!

[groovyfm]

too many people just review the phone's features. this is lazy reviewing. if you take the time to actually call someone using this phone, you will find that it is hopelessly crap as they will not be able to hear you talking.

[Teeum88]

I have metal/black. 96e ;>

[sloveheng]

This phone is fucking awesome. Good looking, great music quality

[PizzaHuuut]

This w880i sucks =/

[solid123123]

i hav tht phone in gold

[nugro8]

Two heads are better than Nokia (merger of Sony Japan with Ericsson Sweden). Imagine your phone have mega bass headset like sony walkman or super bass headset of Aiwa walkman for about 10 years ago. I've just have it. i'm going to use it at least for the next 2 years. But there is no radio in w880i, anyhow it interchangeable by the 3G video call. How about browse or wi-fi that available in the other type? I prefer browse with my toshiba laptop in my bed room. Larger screen, healthier eyes

[Jackdrummer100]

iv got that phone its so easy to use

[br4ve]

sexy

[7525727]

the front camera is 3.3 mega pixels and the back is 2.0 mega pixels! u ca check that in the manual by clicking a code that is: *,right,*,left,left,*,left,*.a­nd then service info (2) and then software info (2) scroll down and will see that is 3.3 mega pixels in the front!!!!!

[wazildhum12]

the camera is crap and the screen is too small and..wierd.but the rest of this phone is awsome.

[tudypopa]

go at the internet on the phone and donload yahoo! go it's very cool!:):)

[AaRoNcItO16]

i have his fon!!

[Braderssss]

how do you turn it off and on?? weres the button to turn it on?

[KadirT21]

you have to press the "C"-Button (Delete) for 4 Seconds ;)

[FLcN23]

w910i, w880i or nokia 5610? whats better?

[R3s1d3ntx]

nokia 5610

[williameurobill]

woah dude no, the w910i is even better than the iphone

trust me, iv had both

And trust me, nkia dosnt stand a chance next to sony

[Prototype96]

sorry, its not the thinnest phone to date; Samsung SGH-U100 is slimmer: 5.9mm.

(w880i 9mm)

[henryl1191]

when was the samsung sgh-u100 release? the W880i was released for quite awhile look at when this video was released. March 27, 2007

[oli3659]

was made over a year ago

[SpoeftSoul]

black orange Way better back

[wznaz]

which colour would u ppl recomand?

[5H1V007]

whats better....w910i or w880i?

[nehal55]

i recmend the gold 1 its not real gold ut loooks nice

[duncan2k8]

Though it would be nice if it was real gold, it would be ridiculously expensive.

[saasca1995]

its kinda ugly....ima stick with the w590i...

[Jerraph]

Why do people always moan about the small keys? Yes, they look a little odd, but they are absolutely fine to use. I use mine all the time without trouble.

You'd have to have some severe elephantitis problem going on with your fingers to have trouble pushing these buttons.

I love mine.

[munk1mag1c]

Does anyone know if you can go on MSN with this phone ?...please answer, thank you

[cc5689]

One of the coolest phones out there.

[CLFKID123]

the keys really r a pain! its soo hard to txt sometimes.

[sean563]

i found that at first the keys were a pain.

after a few days its really easy to use.

[CrazyDeidara]

what to buy nokia 5700 or Sony Ericsson W880i

[parazitupefelie]

[TeamBoyNL360]

[Jacksully1996]

[donjr24]

[jeanbanahn]

[kedstar99]

This is a rubbish review purely because he does not review the phone. All he does is describe the phone.

[Odinthorsen]

hi, ive had this phone sice summer but there is one major problem.

the camera wont work,every time i try to start it it says '' another application is running Close it, thrn start the camera''

ibe tried to reset it and upgrade it but it wont work, and i dont have any waranty for the phone, so is there anything i can do to fix it without going to a repair shop?,because i aint got the money to fix it.

most of these site reviews always bring down the key design from sony. they are very stylish and new. and you would have to be a moron not able to adjust to the new design. not like everyone have giant thumbs
