Only Problem....

Hi. I bought this phone one year ago and it was perfect till today. Suddenly the phone turned off and when i try to power-on , the buttons are lightened but the screen is black. The buttons stay turned on for 3 minutes and after that they are turned off.

Does anyone had this problem before?, or know the solution.

Thank you

[VaseeLubee]

[TheXCHOCOx]

I thought it's W980?

[pownallpefc1]

memory card + phone memory. .. .. .

[Gatman105]

No upgradable memory, just the built-in 8GB!

[ISniiPZ]

ok 8gb is 8000 mb and songs take up around 5 mbs from what i can see so how can it store 8000

[kazster69]

'8000 tracks'... dont lie silly bitch! More like 2000!

[Gatman105]

1600 tracks at 5MB per track = 8GB :-)

[barbypinky]

[GunXtreme]

[CheetahBoi95]

u sure anot ???? i wanna buy soon leh.

[Peterboy0815]

since when mean 8 GB = 8.000 tracks? o.Ô

all songs i have are at least 3 MB big ...

[Andaleon]

that's in eAAC format, for the 8000 tracks. It has a reduced file size but it doesn't compromise much of the quality. Good when you wanna pack a lotta music and dont mind the slight difference in audio quality.

[Wavygyal]

I PLAYED GREENDAY AT THE EXACT SAME TIME.

:s

im gonna get this phone. hey. i just realised she sounds like my cousin. no wonder i feel used to her :s

[montenmoi]

This phone music quality is better than ipod, just go try all and will see the different, really hate people talk shit about something which he or she never tried!

[davidcoady87]

i like the buttons for texting but price in ireland really not worth it

[Wavygyal]

when the phone was new in england it was for £400+ , maybe it must have been the same in Ireland

[JoinOurForum]

I bought it at the same price. Well that's because I bought it 1 week later it came out. I think it'll come down to £200-300 in 2 to 3 months. Well it is worth it to me.

[Grim8701]

Er its £109 here 0_o

[11bxrisa]

from where?

[Grim8701]

England, carphonewarehouse

[dinocro111]

"the desing is not as nice but its nice"

wtf?

[irishbum2007]

i wondering wether to get this or the w910i

[sgsfightclub]

I wasnt paying attention to the phone i was paying attention to the sexy lucy

[wh0m33]

yummy, and I don't mean the phone!

[deadlyelmo]

yummy?

i know what your talking about.

and thats not yummy :S

[wesscoast]

ah, i just want a cool looking phone, my ipod is for music, not sony

[decaribbeanman]

Lucy your Beautiful, love your reviews;-)

[munneih2001]

to hell with the phone

i means its nice

but this girls stunning

[1re2mi]

for mp3 format, about 2000 songs. for aac format i think around 8000 songs. but, 2000 songs is more than enough. =)

[kvbrock82]

8gb memory = 8000 tracks?

lol, no.

[americancops]

wtf is she on about most of my tracks are like 4-6mb so its like 4x-6x lower than seh said so your looking at about 2000 songs not 8000

[dozzy000]

lol , yeah, this chick doesnt know what shes talking about, they gotta go back to the other white girl ,hmm, not this one.

[americancops]

equal ops but she just cannot do it

[dozzy000]

lollllllllll 8000 tracks!!!!! lollllll..............change ur job as a reviewer! lol

[afromo]

i"ll buy this phone if she comes with it

[jestercom]

yay getting this phone in a few days, just wondering does she come with the phone ?? :)

[Antonisnoni]

the first phone with 8g is the w960i lol

[Pianoblacks]

for god sakes... you guys need to listen carefully as mavetopgear mentioned

"clamshell"

"clamshell"

"clamshell"

"clamshell"

"clamshell"

"clamshell"

[mack3E3]

Its not the first "SE" with 8g ? :O

they dont know much ;p

[mavetopgear]

you should listen clearly.

she said," sony ericsson's first 8GB walkman clamshell"

[mack3E3]

now when you mention that ;)

[dsbum]

Enhanced audio experience with its HEADPHONES, not the external speakers.... haha

Cool review tho

[pearlieng]

I am seriously considering to buy this phone by next month !

[pearlieng]

Wow I love this phone a lot (:

It looks so cool !

[magicmx]

well I don't think u can experience a sound improvement with the mobile speaker... xD

[lijiahongjordan]

i want this phone!!

[ooOOmickOOoo]

closed nice...open ugly!

[chaodemon]

yesh.I getting it on this friday.I just love the loud voice!

[ybworld]

I like how the stupid companies are overcharging users for additional memory (hundreds and hundreds because it's an 8gb phone?) when it would cost a LOT less to just let us use bigger microSD cards. But that's the point, right?

[chaodemon]

Although yes.But 8gig internal memory is enough and u still can put memory stick inside.Isn't it great??

[ybworld]

You feel it is great for you, and that is your opinion. For me it is a waste of money. Do you know that a moto a1200 (not even worth $150 right now) with 2 card slots would have the same amount of memory and cost you a total of about maybe an extra $50 so you would have an 8gb phone for about $200, instead of $500-600. I feel it is wasteful to spend money on unnecessary things.

[doomzdj]

is it loud????

[Hunterbgpz]

Great phone, and It's not that expensive too, around 400 euro in Bulgaria... but I recently bought a k810i , so I won't be switching it soon...

[salviawreckhead]

its "up to 8000" it says in the manual , its a hell of a lot of music anyway you look at it lol 5 albums 174 tunes and still not even close , its amazing! - the sound quality on loudspeaker isn't all that but going thru Transmitter it sounds just like a CD if not better. Real happy with this phone. Well recromended for all you Music junkies out there.

[uselessminion]

love it getting it soon thou think it only holds 2000 songs

[salviawreckhead]

=D getting this mob tomorrow!

[ResidentNotEvil5]

w980i its good phone but its expensive selling $800 in s,pore have wait a while getting 8gb storing all my mp3 and movies cool

[ybworld]

Completely agree

[bodeh6]

The Clear Audio only refers when you use the included premium headset. Obviously the speaker quality isn't want they were referring to.

[RaisingHell07]

No SE phone has ever had a 3.5mm jack on there phone, they have always used a headphone adapter with a jack on that. So shes was right, you were the dumb one

[Sunny279719]

...and your point is

it comes free with every sony ericsson.

she said "you HAVE to use their headphones"

[Koofteh]

8,000 tracks on 8 gigs? So the average MP3 you listen to is 1mb? Do you rip your CDs at 96k?

You guys do some horrible reviews. Get another job.

[ybworld]

Arschloch

[pubtor]

It's design is like Moto's.
