The Sony Ericsson W980 just walked into our labs and it looks good at first sight. For those of you who don't know what it is, here is a news update. This is presently the flagship phone in the Sony Ericsson Walkman Series. It possesses the finest audio enhancing technology that Sony Ericsson can provide and packs it in a body that has serious flaunt value.
Everything about this phone screams style and blares (in a nice way) music. The always stylish clam-shell design does wonders for this phone and just to enhance the style quotient are the touch sensitive media controls which are dedicated for the music player and FM.
Apart from boasting of an incredible design, it also features an exotic addition, an FM transmitter. This will let you transmit the song that you are listening to on a particular band that your friends can pick up using their FM receivers which comes standard in almost any phone nowadays. So you are all set to be your friend circle jukebox.
Thing is, with this great responsibility comes one big problem (yeah I know I hacked and rehashed the entire saying), How do you live up to it? How do you carry enough music so that all your friends are pleased at one point or another. Simple, get a larger memory solution. Sony has provided for that and pumped this bad boy with an 8GB storage space that should let you carry enough tunes to please even the most eccentric in your group.
So how well does this phone live up to the honor given to it? Does it surpass all other Walkman phones before it, and in doing so, prove that it is the one phone that will trounce all other pretenders to its throne or will it suffer from performance anxiety due to the tremendous pressure? Find your way back here to our site, in a few days (you can turn up in between too, we've got plenty of stuff to keep you oohing and aahing in wonder) to find out.
