Sony Ericsson W980: Complete Music Experience

If it’s about music in your handset, Sony Ericsson is a famous manufacturer that provides users with music phone choices from their W series. The target of this series is obvious: young men/women that love music on their every time-everywhere moments. The cool design and a pack of new technology can proof it.

We have the review of the newest Walkman phone from the Sony Ericsson, the W980 from our friend at the 3gWeek. Please enjoy everyone….

The W890’s design, features, and technology that comes with this black-red clamshell is worth enough to make you spend some money from your bank account. But before you had gone through your local bank, let’s take a look inside first.

Design

This clamshell W980 comes with a mix of black and red. Though I occasionally said that a clamshell is a designed-for-ladies handset, I would dare to convince myself and you that this one will perfect for gentleman too. Even for myself. Yeah.

Storage

For music mobile phone, an 8 GB internal memory is pretty cool. If not storing about 7500 audio files, perhaps this will fit for 6000 songs you have. Depends on what kind of songs and format your audio files is. In case when you want to store more files into this 3G handset, you have a chance to upgrade that 8 GB with the new one. Sounds very interesting …

Internet

This W Series is not a mediocre 3G. Powered with 3,6 Mbit/s transfer rate HSDPA technology, W980 will makes browsing run seamlessly. Video call, multimedia messages, email or even audio and video streaming from Odeo and YouTube have never been so easy to engage with.

When it comes to surf and enjoy the web, you can count this Symbian 60 agent on its NetFront web browser and RSS feed reader. NetFront for S60 includes unique technologies like Smart-Fit Rendering™, which intelligently adapts standard Web pages to the screen width of a S60 phone and eliminates the need for horizontal scrolling.

For daily blogger out there, you gonna love this gizmo since it will help you to upload your post with picture easily.

Image and Display

With 240 x 320 pixel and 262.144 color TFT, your eyes will be happy to watch this one. For shadow-catcher lover, W980 comes with 3,2 MP camera plus a special X-Pict story mode that let you enjoy all pictures in a slide view complete with a sound and transition.

For picture editing, there is a software called Photo Fix that could help you in optimizing and adjusting light and contrast after a picture had been taken.
