Sony Ericsson W980

by Perceval Mackendrick

Next to the XPERIA X1, the W980 has to be our favorite set launched by Sony Ericsson at the show. Between the stellar external display, that cool transparent accent on the front of the flip, and the FM radio that works without having to attach a headset — talk about a fantastic idea that was a long time coming — it is a stylish thing. Though, those with greasy faces beware, the W980 loves fingerprints, a lot. Oh, and as an added bonus, there’s a bit of extra tactile fun when hitting those external buttons by way of some vibration feedback. Job well done Sony Ericsson, this thing’s the berries.


Phones, Phones, Phones, Phones, and Phones. Thats what its all about these days. What does your phone have? Oh yeah? Well, you could surf the internet with mine while listening to music. :P What now? Well, for all you phone addicts out there, take this, I have the simplest NOKIA phone ever, and it runs absolutely perfect. It makes calls, recieves calls, and you can even play music on it.

At Engadget you will see that the phone has a really sick flip up. At first, when you are looking at it, it seems as if the whole screen is just open, but no:!: There is actually a lid on the can :P When you flip it up, it cares for the nice and slick interior of the phone which may or may not flip your switch, but hey I’ll bet you anything you’d love to have the phone in your hands faster than a child wants candy.

With the cool exterior music controls, its not a hassle to switch your music, no need to carry through with the functions of opening your phone up to switch to a song, or even to turn it off. Maybe someone should mention the versatality this phone has, its definitely smaller than the iPhone, and it even looks like you could fit it into your hands twice.

With this marvel, its not a wonder people are already drooling over the phone’s fantastic glossy finish.

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment as all are welcomed and appreciated here at Mobility Watch: Filling your mobility needs to the level of the Geeks at Engadge & Gizmodo. :D
