Sony Ericsson W880 Review

The Sony Ericsson W880 is the World’s thinnest Walkman (phone) ever! It’s measuring in at only 9.4 millimeters in depth, which makes it fit perfectly in every pocket. It features the second generation Walkman player for mobile phones, which has a couple of enhancements compared to the first version - but more about that later on. If you compare W880 with W850, you will not find many differences. The main difference - of course - is the size, as W880 is over 40 grams lighter than W850, yet the only difference on the features is the lack of FM-radio and a smaller - yet similar spec’d - screen.The W880 comes in two colors - black and silver, where I find the silver one being the best looking. But both are really hot & sexy and definitely in a class of their own. As said, the W880 is light - only 71 grams. The dimensions are 103 x 46.5 x 9.4 millimeters - in other words, a really nice format.

As also mentioned in my K550 review the keys are a bit weird looking, however they’re not bad to use. They’re a bit too small for my taste, but I doubt that the keypad will make people think twice about buying it. The front looks very stylish and I haven’t met anybody, who didn’t fell in love with the looks of this phone. It’s simply marvelous. On the front you have your numeric keypad, soft keys, navigation-pad, shortcut-buttons and “action”-buttons (delete and back). The sides are very plain, and on the left side you’ll find a Walkman-player shortcut, Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot and the connector. Right side features the volume / zoom-buttons (these are a bit special, as they are not separated into two buttons, but instead it’s a slider, where you slide it up and down) and the camera shutter-button. On the back is the 2 megapixel camera without auto focus (oh, what a shame!) and the loud speaker, which isn’t that loud and clear, actually.Read MOre Click here
