The W980i is Sony Ericsson's latest Walkman branded phone to hit the market. It reigns from the W9xx series of Sony Ericsson Walkman phones, the first never to hit Indian shores (W900). The next two - W950i & W960i - were bulky but at the same time provided praiseworthy functionality.

Then a year back the sliding W910i was released but because of firmware issues the phone wasn't very successful. And now we have the flip W980i, an awesome handset that Sony Ericsson has brought out for its music-crazed folks.


Bundle

Since we received the phone before its officially launch in India, we weren't provided with the box pack. Hence we ended up with just the phone, the charger and a headset (HPM-70).

The official bundle of the Sony Ericsson W980i is supposed to include a HPM-77 headset, the new in-earplug headset, which is said to produce crisp highs and superior bass. Its performance is also said to be better than the standard Sony Ericsson earplugs (HPM-70) with which we tested the W980i.
