Review of Sony Ericsson W980 - Music Phone
When you think of music phones the first name comes in your mind is Sony Ericsson. The company is well known for its innovative features and understanding the consumer’s psyche incorporating the features in their products. W 980 is not an exception in their portfolio.
This latest release is trendy in appearance and with a lot of punches in the music but it could not correct the longstanding concern of build quality of Sony Ericsson phones. Their phones are always been a little less robust, and same is the problem with the W980. A few powerful jerks may result in - the flap falling apart from the phone. Beyond this flaw, this phone is packed with lots of features, which will keep you busy and entertained.
W980 being the top of the line music phone, has very clear audio in terms of both stereo and bass effects. Mids and highs are also crisp. Clear Stereo lessen the leakage between the two stereo channels and thereby making up for a more comprehensive and resolved sound experience. Clear bass is a feature is not available in most of the music phones. A huge 8 GB onboard memory will offer you never ending music for your soul.
The onboard speakers are not that great. They faced precision problems when played past 70 percent of the total volume level.
For video, Sony W980 have incorporated a tiny screen (1-inch by 1-Inch approximately) with resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. Considering the size; this screen does its best while reproducing the vivid colors.
Motion gaming feature is another great experience you will have with this phone. You have to move the phone physically while you play. Suppose you are playing NFS and want to turn the car; you have to move the phone to steer your car!
3.2 megapixel camera with a video recording capability is a great feature too. In the connectivity front is Bluetooth and USB are there at your service but you will miss the Wi-Fi.
While browsing, you will feel that Sony actually knows to make user friendly features. The hot key for the walkman application and a richly organized menu for the whole of media application on the phone is wonderfully user-friendly.
