Sony Ericsson W880

Jameden

The phone is actually really small - even for 2007 (many phones from 2007 were bigger).

Jaiden

I remember this phone for how thin it was. That was very appealing.

Catherine the Great

I've seen 2018 flagship phones that are thicker!

SE

Still having my W880 but it's a really Time machine considering how slow it is with a 16GB m2 memory card. But it's a real relief having it with in pockets, compared to small Androids that nowadays comes with 4.7" screens

Smartass

Bought it in 2009 and still using it as backup. Just like other owners, it still has it's original battery and never had any problem whatsoever. Battery life is decent. I don't use it in 3G so I don't know about that, but in 2G mode using it just as a phone, it can easily go 10 days stand by with just a couple of hours talk during this time. Name one smartphone that can go 5-6 days in the same 2G mode.......!!!! Not to mention the thickness of just 9 mm, which is copied today (October 2017) by Chinese manufacturers making slim 2G phones the size of a credit card. Granted, todays copies are just 6mm thick, but back then, ALL these features in just 9mm thickness was realy a big deal. When it came out in my country in 2007, it sold for 400 euros. I got it 2 years later for 120. The prise drop was so crazy, I got me two of them, and they both still work just fine. What can I say. I love it. Name one phone as light and capable as this, that can fit in your pocket without problems.............that's right! ! ! People definitely need phones like this!

Theoden

Still using it. All original parts inc battery. Best phone I've ever owned and have had a few since about '98 😉

alisoly

Best ever phone I had, I miss it alot Thanks Sony Ericsson for all you done

my brother bought w880i at 2007 ,,then in 2013 he bought Xperia Z ,now Iphone6 at 2016#sony#respect#legend!!!

I want w880 dishplay

AnonD-51487

We've now got larger screens...much larger and 'better' features lol... But not all progress is good. Using a Samsung A3 kinda reminds me of this device..metal..compact...good audio...but still prefer the W880!

AnonD-51487

The Ericsson bit gave great design flair missing from umpteen Xperia's

AnonD-51487

I wish this phone was re-released it was a classic, loved owning one of these devices. How about it Sony?

AnonD-220495

are you freakin sure the battery will goes on for 15days and 5days of hours talk??

ASGHAI

The w880 (or any Walkman phone) is still an amazing piece of kit. In an age where phones are smarter than the users! The size is amazing and very discrete. The battery will go 15 days on standby and you can get a at least 5 days talk time. Something my smart phone could never compute!! It works on 3g and doubles up as an amazing MP3 (Walkman) player. The sound quality with the supplied Sony Ericson headphone is amazing. It has graphic equalizer and Meagabass (good ol' days!). I always use this as a backup and divert the calls to this phone where I can't take a smart phone or discretion is required. Also these phones were built at a time where build quality was at a premium.

jimmy

its a great little compacked phone it looks stunning the volume is just perfect all the fetures work mine doesnt frezze or jam theres no problems with this phone i highly suggest this phone its pay to go im 02 user i dont know if verizon and sprint work on this phone you could probly find out your by trying a sprint or verizon theres sim in the phone or google it the phone has a really nice design the buttons are acruite and just the right size i rate this 100/100

Using this phone every time my Sony Experia ZR is of to the repairshop... and thats quite often... The w880 is a very handy, slim phone and works every time, even after 5 years in a closet.. still very happy with it.

techie

The SE W880i doesn't have any radio to begin with, only an mp3 player. Don't tell me the software upgrade provides your phone with a radio? Anyway, has anyone noticed that this phone drains battery fast even if it's turned off? The batt went empty after 24 hours, and it's off. When turned on, the batt doesn't last for 24 hours even if it's on stand-by only. I used the same battery on my SE W595, and that same battery lasted for more than 24 hours.

Ken

Sony Ericsson W880i , It is lovely slim phone to use. I am using this phone last two years and very happy.

ayyb

I garranterar W880i is the best cell phone for the last 6 years, bought new W880i several times, have tried countless different varieties, but no, now I have a Iphone5/32, this is a children's toy, not user friendly, so I have imported 2 pieces of new W880i, again. too bad it passed away so early

jarivehviläinen

Good! Why is the speaker out of order. Does anybody of you seen a problem similar? Although ,I would like to get this phone fixed.

lol

Ok excuse me for the strange comparison, maybe apples with oranges, but still. this thing is now 5 years old, and it has a screen with a 222 ppi density. A few months ago, apple releases their newest tablet, the ipad mini. 167 ppi. Ok, completely different device, completely different purposes. But still it is pathetic, and everyone just gets sucked into apple's scheme

Actually, it was announced in December 2006, and released in February 2007. Correct it please, GSMArena. And look it up on Google if you don't believe me (the first such announcement was in 13 Dec 06, the first reviews were during late Feb 07)

This phone still takes some beating! Released back in 2007 and STILL available new around the £50-80 mark. Main advantages - Works with all UK network sims (including Three). Slim, pocket size. Reasonable battery life. Accessories still available for it via Amazon/eBay. I have an Iphone (3) but the W880i is my "backup" phone used for my Recruitment business. If you are looking to replace an existing phone, you can't go far wrong in buying this (old) new phone as the specs take some beating.

A serious multitasking phone.... Run opera mini while listening 2 the WhackYY n open some more javas or prolly take a pic n come back the music.... I wont buy symbians...after the facilities that i got from Se phones.... umm....easily one of the best looking phones ever released by SE. The price tags r a bit higher than Nokia or some otha manufacturers may be...but consider that u wont get a multi tasking unless thats a Symbian... Music is superb...got a fantastic shutter speed...stylish...Usb connectivity... Dasznt have a Edge...n that disheartened me a bit...but a big big OKAYYYYYYYY... thats kinnda a old release these days...but u may fancy going for one...it still has one of the best rez displays...i will rather go for a lil older model high end phone than a new model low end...

Most likely problem is the file you are trying to play. If its a re-encoded file, try encoding to a different format or encode with a different program and try again.

taeman

i have my sony ericsson w880 for a week now and i try to play my music and it sais playback failed and, i cant be able to fix it. Even if i updated my phone, the problem stays the same. how can i fix this

w880i owner for 3 yr

the problem with the walkman player is that when you save a playlist, then has done something to your music files (say delete, rename, or move to a folder), the changes on your music files does not apply to the playlist on your walkman player. Therefore the playlist cannot play the music file that had changes. That is why you get that playback failed error message. Just make sure to update your playlist. Or of course you can try opening your walkman player then go to Tracks to play your current music files. Hope this helps.

Mark...

I forget to mention: I have the W880 of course!

This phone is great....has everything in a simple manner...3g, bluetooth, mp3/mp4, appealing design, very good 2MP camera, lightweight and very slim, user friendly, the music player is very cool as with all Walkman phones.....however the keys are very uncomfortable to sms with, i got used to them now but still they bother me and battery life is practically sh*t....other than that i'd give d phone 5 star for good value for money!

To "Pls am deeply in love with yr phone but one big problem is the speaker/mouthpiece. I will appeal to management or the company responsible for its production to do something about it for the users. I had a problem with the mouthpiece, i replaced it but still it was giving me problems. IF friends call they cant hear me but i can hear them I think it will be the speaker cos am not so sure about the problem." your microphone is to blame, but it's not in the mouthpiece, it's in the upper part of the phone (unusual for sony ericsson)

am using sony for about 3 years no problem at all good style, finish, screen resolution and good music headphones. problems is low speakers. Now it needs repairing and it cost me about 3000 to 4000 thousand big problem. Well if you can handle it well then this phone is damn cool. But no fm so take care.

ik

I've had this phone for about 3 years and its great. Its quite reliable apart for a tendency to black out for no reason. The web browser is okay but limited in what it can do. Love the music s/w and slimness of the phone. If your looking for a handy phone for daily use then this is a good choice. By the way, be careful not to break anything because repairs can be expensive-not that it breaks down easily.

The Sony Ericsson W880i has a brilliant Walkman system and as it is slim, has unique txting buttons, it's very stylish and cool. Also has a great organizer.

Hi. I have been using this phone since 2007 and i have realized some positive and negative stuff in this phone, the positive things are the intelligent software from sony (as always) and the cool style and the light weight and the shortcut button and the long life battery and the high quality headphone sound... But the negative things are: 1.Small Screen. 2.No FM radio. 3.Speaker too Low. 4.No Flash light. 5.Uncomfortable keys. 6.Unable to record a video neither take a picture in front Camera. 7.Headphone not loud enough. 8.No W-LAN. 9.No Auto-Foucs. 10.Unable to zoom in [2mb] and [1mb] pic size. 11.Stupid voice control key. 12.Very Bad Digital Zoom in camera. 13.No Optical Zoom. 14.the annoying internet button on the keypad. *u can avoid the accidently internet connection by simply applying a user name and a password on the internet connection

very pretty phone, like it very much because of its weigh and design but the software is horrible, its a pity

Worked

This phone is now 3+ years old. It's fair to say that it is now obsolete in many respects and there are a few manufacturing faults. 1) The silver coating on the buttons wears off revealing white beneath. 2) The tiny screen, at 4 cm by 2.5 cm, was designed way too small for surfing the internet. It is quite cumbersome to zoom out of web pages and at 80% zoom out you stretch the limit in terms of visibility and readibility of web pages. The internet connections are often slow. 3) The inner glass screen collects microsopic dirt very easily. 4) Finally, the microphone is appalling bad as well as the speakers. 5) Other phones generally have larger screens now (disregarding touch screens which I think is a massive design fault because it isn't intuitive, slow to respond, and the screens on those phones can easily crack). 6) The phone has a tendency to switch itself off beyond standby rather unexpectedly - even if the battery is well charged. 7) The phone has difficulty handling java applications such as Google maps, with a distinct time lag when using these applications.

No more!

after suffering many technical issues with this devise starting few weeks after purchase, i gave it up today and bought Nokia. probably too slim to hold all features... my recomendation - if you don't need to be every other week in the tech service, don't come near this devise!

Per total, this phone is good, but it has those major issues like: 1] it doesn't have a radio fm included [a stupid thing for a phone called WALKMAN :))] 2] the sound is very poor compared with Nokia [the megabass function has no effect at all] 3] for a music player phone, the acumulator hasn't enough power to listen to music like 5 hours continuously 4] the phone really gets wet when holded too much in hads :)) [like a women you would say, but this problem gets annoying over time] But, besides those issues, the phone is really great as design & performance. Bye!

hi bro plz flash ur phone its softwere prob. its not a big prob.

Stephen

I got this phone and I used it for 2 years, after my warranty ran out it broke when I tried to transfer something on bluetooth, it froze and I took out the battery. After I tried to turn it on it was a brick. (red flashing light) If that light flashes there are 10% chances that it's because of software out of 100%. So this phone sucks.

Roman

Worst phone at this price range.no edge and no radio.and also Software problem.i think Nokia 5130 xpress music is better than this phone without 3G.This phone really suxxx.

Ye it's a good model, can take a couple of falls, but be carefull around water. Mine got all crazy after a rainy day..(still had it in my pocket the whole time) Anyways, I got a new phone and now I need to remove the SIM card from this one and... Well, how do I do that? :o Is there some release of any kind? Because I can't make it move at all, can't get a grip of it to pull it out. Please help! :/

im still using it as side phone...fallen i think almost 50 times since i bought it last 3 yrs ago...GOSH IT STILL WORKS NO KIDDING...

VGA means 0,3megapixels;QVGA means QuarterVGA 0,075Mp

It's one of the best phones that i've got.Nice Sound and very resistant, it have fallen down of my hand for more than 30 Times(!) and it still works pretty fine.

kuro

The phone is pretty much okay, the features are nice and all but I really hate the keypad. It's kinda painful for to to use since I text a lot.

Its great. but not its external speaker. mine was dropd in the middle of buzy road. some car hit it. ouch.. but still ok. its housing is steel!

I have this phone for 2 years at least ! Its simply fantastic . Infact , when I went to vacation this summer I bought 6 of them to my family members . Its small size is simply unbeatable for when you have many items and or ladies small bags . BUT it its feature are great, clear voice, exc. battery life . Don't be put off by the 2MP camera...it takes GREAT pictures: from Alpine views to Cape of Good Hope, it did good. For some reason I overlooked one great camera feature until this summer . It can stich instantly 180 degrees photos (panorama option) !! WoW my Sony 15 x optical dedicated camera can't do that !! I can't let go of this phone infact I take it along with my 3Gs iphone !! You can't find it any more, this why I got some extra !! Infact , its single push button blog feature is unbeatable , in Europe it created an account and published my picture automatically (network dependent). As a music player, I was wondering why i got my kids all this new ipods when this is in the same size, and I could install a conduit to use itunes . No wireless, not to watch movies in , but other wise its a really great great phone .!! 5*

now iam buy sony ericson w880i relly its a good mobile and i enjoid thanks for sonyy ericson

NeMo

I have this phone for year and a half. I dropped it three times on the concrete, and besides few scratches it is doing great. You will get used to small keyboard, and I am using both hands for writing sms. in the First several days it is weird to hold and to use this phone, because it is thin and it has small keys. Night photos are out of the question. even with background light, pictures are too grainy. only daylight pictures are good. so far, I only used mp3 and wma for music. you do not need any other. and the best thing about SE phones (db2020 especially) is that you can mod them quite heavily.

I am sorry to buzz in again. I missed out one more question,lol! The last question was, does this phone support all kinds of audio format (wma,mp3)? Thanks!

w880i_buyer

Hello folks. I have a few question about this phone as I'm willing to buy a new one. My questions are: 1) Is it true that this phone is very brittle & some motherboard thing breaks easily if it falls on the ground? 2) How good does the photos appear at night? 3) The keypad seems way too small. Is it quite hard to type sms's fast? At the moment I'm loving the look of this phone. Any kind of answers or help to my above questions are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone and W880i users,I think I want to buy this sexy phone but how is the network signal?is it weak?-your reply will appreciate soooooooooo muchhhhh..

zpyke smile

i like the pictures and videos of it,i have a black one,i only dislike the keypad,it fades and it hurts pressing the buttons,but still fine,because it's figure w/c is very slim is very easy to put inside of your pocket

gka3000

no problems but i also suggest u give a look at the nokia 5310 xpress music - with the same prize tag it gives many more options for u and yet its one of the slimmest mobiles ive seen around .

eke

thank you very much for the lightening ... now i will make a good choose (beacause i also thought that w880 will do it better for me) :)

gka3000

nokia 5200 was a great phone back then im a huge fan of nokia xpress music series currently im using a nokia 5800 xpress music touch & a nokia n81 8gb - im not into s.e. walkman series but i would like to help u with ur question . - as far as i know s.e. w880 & w395 both got 2 mp cameras which are slimier to each other . w880 is a bit outdated but still famous and the w395 is a bit new to the market yet it isnt popular like the w880 . from the screen size w880 got the bigger display . w880 is thinner than a cd casing that it will fit right inside ur pocket its slim and sylish - the orange and black color version is perfect it will take ur eyes out but the all silver and black color version of it isnt that cool . w395 is a bit bulkier but will still fit ur pocket also its a slider design so if u like slider phones u will like it . w880 got no fm radio but the w395 does . also the w395 lacks 3g connectivity and no front video caller cam , but the w880 got 3g speed connectivity and a front video caller cam which might become handy for u . prize wise both phones are the same . and as the specs shows talk time is better in w395 but in my opinion it doesn't matter cuz the w880 supports 6 to 7 hours of talk time anyway . from both - my choice is w880 cuz it got 3g and video calling facility , but if ur gonna miss the fm radio if u think it may become handy w395 is good but u will have to loose 3g capabilities and video calling feature . from the designs i like the candy bar thinner design of the w880 . w880 wins for me anyway . so good luck choosing the phone for u .

eke

i want to buy a phone , because i got a nokia 5200 a year ago , and i'm tired of it .... and i want to buy a new one, and i thought i buy now a sony ericsson phone ... and i don't know wich one to choose : sony ericsson w880i or w395 ... i readed a few things and a few comments about these phones, but i don't know wich one to choose... i don't expect much from a phone, these phones fit to my requirements....i just want a cool phone with good music, wich will not make me nervous

does this phone have non-camera type?because in my school we don't use phones with cameras and i love this phone very much

noone

my 2nd s.e phone, b4 this i use w810i.. i like its thin and light body, clear display and sounds although it cant be patch and customize easily, not like my prev w810i.. the thing is, its bluetooth cant be turn on, even im not using bluetooth frequently, but its frustrating especially when i want to send or receive files from others or when i want to use my wireless handsfree. the speaker also not as loud as my prev phone, the camera is undoubtly below average,battery life is to short, keypad is hurting for ones who always messaging, still no standard 3.5mm audio jack(whyy??). but, after all, quite nice phone to use.

Anonymous

I am very disappointed in the W880i . I can't wait to upgrade in 3 months time. Had problems with it since day one when I got it. Many times people tell me they called me, but the phone was next to me. The camera sux unless it's really a bright sunny day. It's more full of nonsense than a woman with PMS. If i just put in down, it's shuts down and I have to struggle about 5 minutes to get it on again. the battery life is pathetic, I don't use it that much, becuase of these problems, but it don't last more than a day and half. The keys are extremely tiny and hurst the finger tips when you try to type a long sms. I won't reccommmend it to any one!

Allen

I'm writing here to complain. I now have a sacond W880i after the first one's display defected (turned black just so, without showing anything on it but the phone was still working). now I hawe another W880i and it seems that this one has a problem with the display too. This model has serious problems, it's not good, I advise you not to buy it if you don't want surprises. I have two w880i models both with display problems

maya

so good fone and i love it especially its sound and camera is tooooo good

ubie88

SE w880i best!!!

Chandan Shibu

I think the W880i is the slimmest phone ever with all these superb features.. I've been using this phone for the past two years and have given me no problens till date... It's slim, light and easy to carry around... Though it's keypad is a bit fidgety, it turns out to be good.... The only problem is that it lacks a radio...

arena

well am using this phone and its okay but i really wish i did have a radio but i love this freaking PHONE

tez

I have a w880i, love it! pity it doesn't have a radio

Ashkan

I'm using this phone for more than a year and I never had any problem with it. It's slim, handy and easy-to-use. Although it does not have WiFi but it's so fast and light. The quality of its camera is fine enough, as long as it's not a camera-phone. I admit its keys are so tiny and small, but this harsh time is only for the first few days and I got used to them and I feel great with it. One of the most important things that is missing in the review of this phone is that it has a scratch-resistant screen and body. If you need a phone ONLY for making some calls, sending text message and hearing songs I assure you Sony Ericsson W880i is the best phone you may ever get.

My 1st sony ericsson phone is w880i and i am affried to use it.and its keypad was very hard to use.now its ok.i love my w880i

You have to disconnect the phone first. If you can not, remove the battery, put it back, then connect the phone. It should ask you to enter the PUK code now. Enter it, if you know it, and the phone will be unlocked. If it still doesn't work, then go to a service. :)))

cool phone, had mine for two years, love the fact that its small enough to fit in your pockets, due for an upgrade, still not sure what to take. Problems i expereinced: 1. sometimes the speaker is very soft, can hardly hear the peson on the line. 2. data cable never worked, not connecting at the phone input, same with the charger. 3. phone hangs, maybe i just need a software upgrade. 4. from yesterday the phone doesn't read the pics on the memory card. but like i said, time for an upgrade, actually really happy with the phone over the last 2 years.

Zell

Guys, the disadvantage of all sony ericsson phones is that the message alert tone is played with the maximum time of 10 secs and it is not advisable to use songs as message alert tones. Who knows perry the platypus from phineas and ferb? he has a theme song which is played everytime he do his job and that tone is cannot be used as message alert tone beacause it is too long to fit in the 10 sec time limit

just got this phone a week ago, choose it because of the price tag as same as w302. I love this phone, no problem so far only when im not in 3g coverage area the signal drop n it will disconnected. So ill just switch to 3g when im in 3g coverage area. Although the phone hv small display, the quality is stunning considering the phone itself r among the high end phone 2 years ago. I hate the loud speaker, but i think its ok considering the phones size. Really, why should i cry over it while i got logitech thx speaker waiting me at home. Really, theres no other phone's speaker out there that can satisfy my bass hunger n will not be in future too i guess. This phone so light, so thin I barely feel it in my pocket :)

mine stores up to 999 sms

it's ok, because when you use a gprs connection the phone uses the line for the data call. If you want to stay available with the phone, and be connected to the internet, you should use the 3G connection. It's the only one that could work on both data and voice call. good luck!!!

Hi Indonesian, K660 is anytime better than W880. I have been personally using K660 with no problems at all. Both the phones do no have autofocus and flash. The sound of W880 might be better than K660 to some extent as it is walkman series. However there are a lot of features in K660 which is not present in W880. Check it out your self in the sony erricson site. Use compare phones. K660 is the best!!! Go for it... Anytime.

collinz

hi guys those of you with problems of network freezing phones and inactive sim. this occurs if you bought your phone a year ago and did not update the soft ware there is an upodated software for w880i. download it and install. most prbably your problem would be solved.

For those who have network problems...try to disable the 3G network and use just GSM network....

hey i am from indonesia and i wanna know which cellphone is better, w880 or k660? in indonesia k660 is more expensive than w880, and you must buy an additional memory stick M2 which is the most expensive memory card in indonesia, and make me really exhausted. in the other hand, w880 is a good phone, i like the design and it is cheaper but i think the display is too small. which one that i should buy? please tell me everybody i need your opinion

hello rowena, i also have the same problem as yours.may be it is the network.when i swap my chip to onetouch i do not encounter such problem.what should we do?you can call me on this number so that we solve our problem.0245073656.

i have also being using dis phone for one year now.am also having the same problem as a friend also complained that she gets messages like no network or emergency calls only.i want to know whether it is my phone or mtn'

MR.J

i agree wih u.

rowena

I have this phone for two years now. . its giving me network problems. can any one tell me what it could be . I cant make calls or receive calls. Its giving me messages like "No network coverage" "No access to network" "emergency calls only" and inactive sim" . all at the same time. . Please help if can. Is it the phone or MTN?

Gogetter

Had this phone going on 2 years now. What can I say, I am impressed now as i was when i first got it. Not only is it packed with features and fully customizable but it fits in my jeans pockets without looking like im carrying a pet egg! Has never skipped a beat, never failed and been constantly on since the day i got it. With my use it lasts an easy 4 days before i need to think about looking for a charger. The only thing bad i can say about it is the cameras picture quality, but hey its 9.5mm thick! Cant expect wonders from a camera fitting in a phone this thin. Anyone after a thin phone to fit in your pocket while providing many features including the walkman function which i love (who needs an ipod now), you cannot go wrong with this phone.

I bought one of my W880 around a year ago and was that impressed that i got another for my lad and he is the envy of all his school pals,a lovely,stylish phone that will stand the test of time.

This is a great phone,,stlish and slim!I have bought it twice as i lost it once before...definitley no regrets!!the only negative thing about this phone is that the headphones arent great nd there is no flash!!otherwise i reccomend it!!

1 yr. 8 mo.'s w880i

got the silver one. the unit still looks good though its center navigation key and the keypads designtated to numbers and letters had been rubbed off from its original color. still an eyecatcher. buy a memory stick with a higher capacity to make the most out of the phone's walkman feature. O_O

jane prabhu

This model is very nice for using. Very soft key pad for using painless tyrping Hearing music ids very hot and Rock Stylesh phone with hansome and much more.......

Forhan

It plays mp3,mp4,wav,real media,mid,amr,aac,aac+,eaac+,wma,wmv(7&8),m4a,m4­b,3gp etc.Lots of stuffs no doubt. Edge is absent.But 3G is a perfect substitution.Those will face problems who dont have 3G provider as gprs is insufficient for efficient browsing. Loudspeaker is crap though headphn performance is excellent.Tnx to Megabass(TM). 2mp camera,that lacks autofocus&flash,works satisfactory. 1.8" display is really nt large enuf though qvga resolution and high quality colors are quite charming. Considering all these facts and it's price range,im giving it 8.5 out of 10.What's about u guys?

Sylvia

With regard to deleting songs from playlist, see my various comments to Lungile M under W880i on 21/7/2008. Good luck.

Himesh

I have been using the W880 for 6 months now and am very happy ! The slim phone with a simple camera feels sturdy and is a great eye catcher too. Cons - Keypad is a bit difficult to use given that it's small keys make typing numbers or an SMS a tedious process. - It is a walkman music player but with bearly audible speakers. The high pitch also seems un-adjustable in the custom settings making it only possible to listen to music with headphones on a low volume.

Forhan

Therz no way to repair btry.1ly way is to replace btry/replace unit. Do u hv waranty?Thn i will recmnd u to go to the servicing centre and discuss the prob.

It a good phone. Reliable. The only things i miss is a flash to the camera and FM radio. But nice phone anyway.

You can't use the front camera for taking still shot.It can be used just as a video call camera. Im quite impressed with it's multi-tasking capability.It can be used to run more than one java application at once. One sad thing is the data cable.It's too much slow and takes a minute to transfer a megabyte file. Video player can play videos of qvga resolution.What a pleasure..... :)

I just bought an used W880i. Some guy cheated me :S. The speaker is not in function, the microphone is bad, you can hear me, but I must yell for that. The cover is producing sound because it is broken on several places, and also it's scratched. I opened the phone to see can I change the microphone and speaker, but all those thing are on one same cable connected, so I must buy this cable which includes camera,microphone,speaker etc. (costs a lot of money). I prefer Nokia phones because you can change the microphone or speaker without experimenting with the cables...................

w880i just bad in camera,speaker,and no have an fm radio just that everything is good except that 3

I've enjoyed trouble free usage of this phone for the past 18 months. I've got big hands and type texts while I'm driving without looking at my phone once! I love the size and was willing to make some sacrifices. 3G reception is bad in my area so video calling is out, but I'm on the internet and gmail everyday. A few small comments: The USB data cable connection is very badly designed and does not make contact anymore. PC and headset, does not make contact anymore. Luckily my charger still works. I would prefer small usb on the phone. I want to assign different ringtones for different profiles, but can't.

U can't use d front camera for pics only for video calls.

The w880i is a g8 fone. Bt probs startd when it does nt detect ma sim until i remove ma memory card, well dat corrected itself. Den i had probs wit ma games nd applics dey jus kip sayin 'operation failed'. I got it flashd, it workd bt nt perfectly! Then d fone goes off wit every little shock! As little as pressin d keypads too hard! or wen it gets overworkd lyk browsin 4 long hrs! Does anybody xperience dis same probs?. I'm tinkin of gettin d w910 though. Bt minus dis probs. D w880i is great nd i luv it!

Cyberwulf

This is a really great slimline phone but does have some drawbacks... There's no zoom on the still camera, no light/flash facility. Its too easy to switch the thing off due to poor placement of the on/off switch, the speaker although loud is very 'tinny' and there's no radio on it...!!! How can you call it a walkman phone without a radio and poor loudspeaker? On a good note its much quicker than the K750 and no real software issues that i can find. SE have replaced that stupid joypad with buttons so it does'nt wear out which is a major thing for me.

thank you very much jashan!

any disadvantages in this phone please reply me back

Jashan

Go for W880i, Since the slide feature of W580i might give problems in the long run. both the phones are good but 580i is more bulkier. Plus W880i is 3G without EDGE & also without radio. But who cares abt radio until you have the full music library with you. W580i will giv little less battery life while listening to walkman in comparison with W880i. Go for W880i its full value for money.

Jashan

Hey guys the phone is very nice. Better than I had expected. I hav been using this for abt 2 weeks now. The walkman quality is superb. Superb means superb. If you want the ultimate walkman experience then buy HPM-85. I hav bought it myself on the day of purchase of mobile. The handfree HPM-70 which comes along with the pack is nothing in comparison with HPM-85. Even though HPM-85 looks big, but it does not consume more battery at all. Its just a fraction more. Nothing else. Even though this cell does not have an auto focus camera, I have got very satisfactory images at just 2MP. Remember 2 keep your hand as still as possible while clicking. Then it gives full 2MP clarity equivalent to that of 2MP cybershot phone. I didn't find any thing wrong with the camera at all. Its slim factor is its unique feature. Its loud speaker is a bit low in sound. But its very loud when connected with earphones at 80% volume with no loss or rupturing of sound at 100 % volume. That's what walkman is made for right. The battery life is also great. Lasted for 1-1/2 to 2 days. Disadvantages:- It consumes a lot of battery power during calls & plus the scree remains on throught the call. Its Java. It does not have photolight. Overall:- In all a great phone for music lovers with good camera & battery life & don't forget HPM-85.

My W880i was fine for about a year, and then started turning itself off and the only way to turn it on again was to remove and replace the battery. This has got gradually worse and now it doesn't charge. 4 other people I know have experienced the same problem. Sent it back to Sony and they rebooted the software and a week later the same problems started again. Now changing to a W580i On the plus side, it is a great phone that looks good and is very user friendly.

W880i. the phone is okay. slim. light. easy to use. my only problem with it is, it has no folders (for the messages) and when the messages get up to 300+ the phone slows down (but only in the message menu only) and oh, since i use sms a lot.. the parts for message can only acomod8 up to 10parts which is not good.. for me. and when the other people send you 2 or more parts of sms, the message is cut.. not good.. for me. again. haha. other than that. the other problems will be depending on how you handle your phone. it's been a year since i got this phone. i dropped it many times (as in, brutally dropped) yet it never came to a point where i brought it to a fixing store for cp. it's not like _____ that has many unnecessary programs, that causes the phone to slow down. the programs installed in this phone are those that simple people need. enough for entertainment. the camera is good. handy. very unique (many people got very curious bout this phone. anywhere i go, they notice my cp. hahaha cool.) the battery has long life. the sounds are okay. 8/10 for me. i don't want to replace this phone. but, i decided to. because, i want a cp that can create folders for messages and store many messages. if it wasn't for that, i wouldn't trade this for any cp. sad. i'll be replacing this soon. i'll miss this cp.

The Speaker of my phone is not workin nd my phone find it difficult to switch on

the worst phone ever to step foot into this world, i own one myself, software is slow, turns off atleast three times a day, when i plug my usb cable to the computer to trasfer music, the phone switches off, an reboots, did that ever since i bought it, freezes all the time, i had the speaker repaired because know one could hear me talk, also when some one rings me the ringtone makes like a funny noise then cuts out like asif the speaker had just blown,not impressed at all.

When the phone charges, it is normal to see a red backlight illuminating the c and 3 key area, with the rest of the key pad in darkness? Can someone please let me know whether my new phone is faulty?

I have had this phone for 12 months. It is still in great shape no scratches on the back or front. It's been dropped a few times. The camera takes decent photos during sunlight hours. The screen is nice and clear. The zoom in / volume could be a sturdier design. I like a small slim phone and this is it.

khian

the walkman is great but the camera is not perfect especially when you're capturing in a dark place..i recomend the cybershot when you're looking for a nice picture.

Quake

dude dont buy this Phone. i have this , the firmware is very unstable, a very bad product by sony ericson Phone wutomatically turns of even if the Bat is full, the only way to turn it on again is to reomve and put the battry again. +walkman is the only gr8 thing in this phone

Has this cell phone a external button to enable or disable the bluetooth function ? Anyone knows a cellphone with this function ? Because i need a cellphone that i can enable and disable bluetooth quickly... with one button like... Thanks for all. Bye.

These phones have been out for a year and a half, and they're used. There is no way you'd get $150 - 200 APIECE for these on ebay. An L7 of mine sold for 40 bucks and it was in near-perfect condition. Stop deluding yourself - you said "serious offers", that's what this is. $100 bucks for both, or you can deal with eBay, dodgy bidders, fees and the recent crap with paypal. Your choice.

Zep

No way mate, sorry. They sell for between $150 - $200 on Ebay each. So thanks but no thanks.

the SE phone I have is almost a year now and dropped it many times but, still working, i think the problem there is yourself broke 7x, you should buy new one, can't you afford? I'll buy you one. I bought mine at home in Singapore for less 200 dollars, just reply and I,ll send you one okey?

I bought my w 880i in Phils. SM mall in Manila with out warranty for 100 dollars less than normal w/ warranty price, and I dropped it 4 times to a solid ground like tiles and hard floor for at least 1 1/2 ft high until now still working well, means quality is at best.

Sony Ericsson 880 is a very nice cellar phone, all features that you want in a very tiny machine. However, the worst thing in this phone is the distributor in Saudi Arabia, Axiom company, the customer service is very very bad, people in the counter are very rude specially Saudi ones (!!) phones takes 30 days to be fixed (!!) workshops are always crowded takes hours to hand the phone for service. I like the new release from Sony, I didn�t buy it because of its company, I don�t want to be in the same nigh mirror again with Axiom company.

Sylvia

Hi Lungile. I'm glad you came right with deleting songs from your playlists. I think a software upgrade may sort out the memory card problem. Take it to Vodacare/MTN/whoever you're with. I hope you'll sort it out.

berg

hai guys...just wanna share my experience with this phone..for your info this phone can easily get heat up..im saying this because im using a tv mobile services frm my service provider..with a full charge it can stand about 2 hours for tv streaming using a 3G network..and then if u talk for a laong time also will heat the phone..i think SE should put a coolant system into it..hahahahha

Lungile M

thank u for helping with the song deleating thing.but now im in another fix.lately my phone has been appearing like there is no memory card in there.like i will open it and all it will show me are the things saved to the phones memory and & not the card.in a way it will be in its brand new state or like i pressed "restore phones settings".then i will switch it off & on again then it will be back to normal with all my songs & pictures.i never open my memory card slot so that means i never disturb the thing.whats the matter here?oh & last question:has anyone tried watching the full version tv?like subscribed?if so,how is it?the quality and stuff.iv only watched the free tv so before i subscribe i would like to know if i will get my moneys worth

jim

God I could kiss you, this has been bugging me for ages!!!

Sylvia

Lungile, after you've done what I said earlier, select a different playlist, then re-select the p/l in which you've deleted the song. That song will no longer be there. This should work. I also have W880i and it works.

Sylvia (not from SE)

Try this: If already listening to the playlist in which you want to delete a song, click on stop, go to Walkman/playlists again, select the same playlist, click on more, and the delete option should be there. Good luck!

Lungile M

hi.can anyone in the sony ericsson world tell me how on earth I deleat a song from a playlist in the walkman!I mean honestly,all of my friends with sony ericsson phones have tried deleating songs only to have them sitting there again a couple of hours later.I thought it was my w880i that did this but we all have different models of sony ericsson phones and they DO NOT WANT TO DELEAT SONGS FOR GOOD!HELP!ITS REALY ANNOYING!

Is it possible to put album covers on the memory card so that these appeal on the screen when the album is played? ("Album Art") Playing music you can find it when you press "more" "settings" "visual""Album Art". I've tried copying them with SY Media Manager. The covers appear on my pc but not on the phone. The Help Desk of SY replied to me the phone has no support for Album Art :-( Otherwise great phone wich nowadays comes at 175� simcard-free here in Belgium. Enjoy it!

Just got this on PAYG now its on clearance - only �90! I've been a big fan of SE starting with the k700, and working through two K750's, a K800, and W580 - in turns delighted (when they get things right) and exasperated (when they get things wrong) - My experience with is, wait six months to a year before you get any particular model - by then, all the software bugs (freezing, crashing) and hardware bugs (cracked keys, odd colour tones with camera etc)have been ironed out, and you can enjoy the phone as the designers intended! Case to point - Got the K750 on launch and suffered 3 returns with freezing but loved the phone when it worked - about a year later was in between phones and when my network offered it again, took the plunge and was delighted - It's still the best phone overall I've ever used! Ok back to the W880 - Slim and light, packed with features including great walkman, great battery life, what more do you want. No radio though boo but that would probably affect the size. Camera only so so, but I'm a photo freak so always carry a compact camera in my hobo bag anyway. If a decent cam is important tied in w slim size, maybe look at the new c902...

I have been very dissapointed with W880i. I was a big fan of the SE mobile phones but this mobile disspointed me. I was only able to use for 6 months before it stopped working. I was unable to get it fixed becuase they stopped producing the phone

BrandonC

I have been using the w880 for a while. It succeeds as a Walkman phone, I find myself using the w880 instead of my ipod touch, due to the nice megabass function and size. The ipod touch is quite a huge mp3 player. When I turned off the 3G I got about 4-5 days of use. In South Africa the 3G is not so good in all areas yet anyway. Love the size off this phone, way lighter than my previous W810, and also very stylish in comparision to the black cheap looking plastic they used before. I recommend this phone, for the sheer fact that unlike other models it packs a lot of features into a slim body and still looks like a superstar

Twisted_fate

I have one of these, and it is a really good fone, besides the tinny speaker, its very decent.

MajorChipHazard

I've had this phone for almost a year,and its probably the most disappointing walkman phone I have owed.Has a tendency of losing signal(my girlfriend and cousins do the same).The battery ife was nothing short of bad from day 1.The best thing about the phone is only the picture quality and the light weight.The buttons are a nightmare to use.The walkman as well is very disappointing,the phone's speaker is very high pitched and extremely tinny sounding.Overall I wouldnt recommend this phone,it looks all flashy but in actual fact is way more disappointing than its cosmetics want you to believe

MarkW

Had a W880 since first released. Battery life fantastic Camera good outside if well lit, useless indoors, shame there is no flash. Features pretty good all round. Speaker absolutely awful - big let down for what is supposed to be a walkman phone. Couldn't listen to music at anything more than a whisper or the speaker distorts. Ringtones have to be carefully selected so they dont sound crap. Other than that it is really slim, really light easy to forget which pocket it is in...if they had put a better speaker in and a flash it would be perfect (and probably thicker and heavier...lol)

Great phone...just 1 flaw...the speaker just not good enough...creaks on increasing the volume.

this cellphone is not expensive at all; it doesn't even has a low price, you get it for free in stores, $350 is nothing, then how dare you say it is SO EXPENSIVE if you think it is then you better buy a toy cellphone; or connect 2 glasses with a hose; that's your better option if you are looking for something less expensive than that!

noone knows me anywa

I haven't bought it yet but among all of the other options there are I think that this is the best cell phone anyone can buy; its desing is good and it may not have many and/or new features, but tell me; what it a phone for? isn't it to call and send messages; can more can you ask to life, and from Sony Ericsson, I think that this is the slimmer one this companny has launched to stores.

w850i lover

wow this phone is very expensive for nothing!!! plz just because it's slim design it costs a a lot of money?!!! it has no flash,no FM radio,and no any new special super new features! i recommend buying the w850i i because it is the same but with flash,with fm radio and most important it's CHEAP!!

buy the w880i ma man ^^ 5310 is pretty cool, but its battery hangs up in 1,5 days -_- and w880i has much better music player ,and there is a site where u can download cam drivers for w880i so it gets nicer pictures, u can also change the quality of the sound xD [mobilejunkies.net] 9/10 for w880i 7/10 for 5310 [i listen to music a lot so i need more battery witch 5310 dosnt hav :/] BTW w880i screen is much better, cuz it has same pixels but is 3 mm shorter lol ... and w880i HAS flash, u can download flash wallpapers, themes for this cute slim baby xD

I've got the gold one and two of my friends have the black and silver one. And there's absolutely NO difference between the three.

HI all, I consider this phone as a budget phone, dont ask too much from it because cheap if compared with a perfect phone(N95). Look how fat the perfect phone is, this phone its good looking and slim and that make them cant put great hardware into it. So if you can eccept the cons about this phone, go ahead and grab it. if not dont buy it, otherwise you will atart to complain in this forum. Afif Danial

i agree, when sony decided to make a nice phone like w880 why they must remove the radio...! c'mon sony ....

@ Steve Why don't you buy a cover then you won't get scratches? Wow im so smart to think of that.

Steve

I'm on my 4th W880 since august when i got one. It is the single most unreliable phone i've ever owned. Still looks good though, but easily scratched. Scratches aren't an issue for me because I've never had the same handset for more then 3 months.

LEON

Phone switching off on its own solution.For those of you who have this phone. The problem is caused by a loose battery. Here is the solution. All you have to do is switch off the phone, remove the battery. Then get a small piece of paper. Fold it over, so that it doubles. Now place the battery on top of the paper and put the back cover back on. Wala � the phone will never switch off on its own again. This is a great phone except for this minor glitch

Do not get this phone even if your life depended on it. Both my girlfriend and I have these, and they're horrible. The buttons are hard to push, especially if you're a guy, and for some other unknown reason the phones (both our phones) switches off at random. Also, the USB cable that comes with the phone doesn't always connect properly, same goes for the charger. I am very much unhappy with Sony Ericsson for cursing the world with this horrible phone. Don't get it! DO NOT!!!

Great phone, very slim and compact. Problem Ive got is that dust particles are getting under the screen which has made it near impossible to see when outside in sunshine. Is this normal and does anybody out there know if it is possible to get the screen cleaned underneath?

12months and running perfectly well. minor glitch was when it automatically updated the software through SE download. had to go to SE to reinstall the software. but everything else worked perfectly fine. walkman, internet, camera, 4GB M2 card (though a little lag), durability. but most of all, the stylishly sexy slim yet powerful mobile.can't wait for the w890 in the phils. hoping though it can save infinite contacts. camera of k800i was cool but hated the joystick when dust accumulated. loved the camera though. BEST PHONE SO FAR. W960 was the next phone i'm eyeing too. had given it a try and its a blast. loved it!

kareem

this mobile is a lot fun but the w890 is way beter.but this one is cool.

andrew

i've got one recently(about 2 weeks ago)...the battery doesn't hold more than 48 hours. i've heard that Li-Pol batteries from SEr start to hold charged better after 2-3 m onths of utilisation...is it true??

Did have some problems similar to few of the other posters but after de branding the operators crap and doing some modding all runs smooth and fast

Reception is pretty good , battery life a bit shorter than the announced in the specs but not by much. Call quality reported good from the other end in area with bad signal. Thats with Orange in Spain ;)

Tracy

Sorry for mis-typing below where it says 4GN? It should say 4GB - hope did not confuse anybody. If anybody does manage to run an 8GB card we would love to hear from you.

Tracy

I am a lucky lady cos I have the W880i Havana Gold handset, which is the most cool looking handset around! I am currently using a 4GB memory card in it which works just fine - I got loads of albums on it and tons of photos. Didn't wanna put an 8GB card in cos read somewhere it won't work? But loads have managed to use a 4GN card without trouble - hope this answers that question for anyvody wishing to up their memory.

can someone tell how good the reception is on this phone?

I've just had a 3rd w880 but not because I love it! The 1st started to turn itself off at random, which I think has been mentioned before on this forum. Orange swiftly replaced it, so I guess it's not an unknown problem to them either. Unfortunatly, within 2 hours the 'new' one was locking up - the time stops or it was locking in the middle of writing a text. Again Orange were straight out with another whch, touch wood, is ok so far. It's an ok phone and you can get used to the small buttons but I don't think I'd have another

broo

You'll have to clean your headset from the inside. I had the same problem.

This fone rocks!!! :)

Yer tis a good phone... it has good feautures and it is not a camera phone so i think that them throwing in a 2mp is nice. it has no radio... my old w200i had one and i think i used it once and still had bad signal. no worries there. its great phone and i adivse getting one... its keypad is small but i took a week to get pro on it. i am still using the 1 gig card i got with it (nice touch) but its running out... does anyone kno whats the max size of memory card it can read... someone may have already answered this but i aint going thru 72 pages of jibber jabber!! oh i forgot to say it looks amazing and its 3g is good. best phone i ever had and i have had many

Hi All , Kindly , could anyone tell me if there is away to increase sound volume in this set? any code to do that? speacer & mic voice are very low. Thanks to all.

how is the life battery on listening music?

ivan

to ear music there are only stereo headsets, i think :) like the HBH-DS205, it as bluetooth but..stereo.

Dorin

Ivan- thank you for your answer. What other simpler singular bluetooth headset can I use (not double set, or stereo)to listen music with my w880? I am looking for one ear headset :)

ivan

Dorin: that headset only suports conversation.

ivan

i'd try it with nokia BH-501 bluetooth headset to listen some music, and it works great!

cb

just bought this phone. I say its perfect(too bad it doesn't has radio)

Dorin

Can anybody tell me how can I listen music on w880 through my bluetooth hands-free headset? For example I have a HBH-PV702 headset, I connect it to my phone (I made some calls using it) but when I start that walkman program, I cannot hear anything in my headset (but instead I can hear it on the phone's speaker).I bought the phone several hours ago- a bit disappointed it does not have a FM. Hope to solve the bluetooth -music issue.

Tom

This phone is awesome! Why upgrade, I use the iPhone and use my 880 (silver) as my 2nd phone! Wouldn't really want anything else as mine kept working after; three soakings of water (battery removed swiftly all times), my colleagues playing American football with it, dropping it repeatedly on concrete, wood and lino! Then it was subject to a good stamping with my boot heel! But it works!!! I love it! Then it died after the fourth soaking! Thankfully its been replaced under warranty! Cheers Sony!

David

Hey! I bought a 8GB M2 stick and it doesn't seam to work properly in this phone. It either only shows SOME of the music and doesn't play it or it shows that the memory stick is empty. Any advice anyone?

I actually got the gold one as was only one available on my network but to be honest i would have preferred the silver or black ideally :)

guys you can see k530i instead of w880i b'cause k530 comtain 3G and the same camera(2mp),and great processor speed exceeding nokia N95,and it also enables GPS by connecting HGE-100,which is not present in w880i.k530i is also a budget phone but has similar facility like w880i.I request to the guy's please also verify k530 in this website about k530 great function and also read the enthusiastic user opinions of k530i.

Doctorginn

Hi all. I have been fortunate enough to win my w880. What a beautifully made mobile. But compared to my other SE mobile(W810), the camera and video are pretty poor. Unfortunately SE decided to omit a flash, auto focus, macro mode and add tiddly buttons. If my kids and i didn't like taking photos or i had smaller fingers, then the w880 wouldn't still be in its box. I'm just so sorry i find it hard to use. One last thing: people, please do some research before spending lots of money on your phones. There's nothing worse than switching on your new 'baby' to be disappointed.

:]

Hey there guys. Which colour is the best? I like all of them but don't know which one is the best? Any opinions? Thanks :]

I've just received the w880. I love it but the thing that i don't like about this phone is that in my house, it doesn't work. That's very annoying but the rest is very good, LOVE IT!

This phone saves 200 to 300 text messages depending on the size of the messages. Its a great phone. It has fallen so many times and refused to die. Now the LCD seems to be having a problem and I cant get a replacement. Can someone tell me how to transfer all my text messages and contents to another W880 phone. If it is possible then I'll just go buy another one.

yes this phone will work in Japan because it has UMTS, but you would probably only use it on roaming with your service provider because cell phones in Japan do not use SIM cards.

Very nice lightweight thin phone. Music playback quality is fantastic, very easy to use, keypad is in my experience very easy to use and i have big fingers. Battery life seems decent enough. Loudspeaker not as good as other sony ericsson phones though not so bad that it becomes a problem. Shame there is no fm radio, however, i find i very rarely used the fm radio on my phone so it shouldnt be a problem for me. Ok, the camera is pretty weak, however, the main focus of the phone is music, and at the same time i brought myself a very nice sanyo 7mp camera which is brilliant so i dont really have much need for this phones camera anyway. So all in all, a very nice phone! However, if you dont need 3g and would rather have an fm radio, then i cannot see why you buy this over the w610i, its very slightly heaver and very slightly thicker than the w880, but the difference is so slight that it wouldnt be condidered a problem. So if you really want an fm radio on your phone, the w610 in my opinion would be better, however, if like me you dont mind having no radio, then this w880 is the one to get!

toikats

is this fone have a radio?

Kiko

This phone is very good..The battery is strong, music play is fantastic

I had bought the device and is seems to be good , but the problem is that I had seen at the "w880i" site that related to sonyericson that the device contain both connectivity "Infrared" &"bluetooyh" but sooner I discovered tha it cintain only " Bluetooth" feature and iwas misslaeded, also I couldnt find the link to customer service online to inform them of this proble ,so if ony one could sent the direct contact to them at [email protected]

I had mine for a year now and not one problem. 3 of my friends own one and also NO problem. I am a sucker for size so I was willing to sacrifice a powerfull camera and all the other things that makes a phone big and bulky. I have big hands, the buttons are fine. Get used to it. My camera takes awesome photos in daylight. For any other photos, I have a camera. Web browsing, Email, Video call, games, ALL GOOD! I'm happy.

i wish people would stop complaining about the camera on this fone, its not a 'K' model so the camera is not the main benefit... just like all the cybershot sony ericssons have poor music quality! come on people just deal with it. the fone is shocking, battery life sucks and mine freezes ALL the time.

AsH

The W880i might be attractive and slim but please note the following downsides: *I have had mine for barely 2 months until the LCD screen stueffed up...I had to send it back to the manufacturer and have it replaced. * Ther camera quality is pathetic for a 2 megapixel. My old Samsung D600 took better pictures and in nightmode the W880is even more horrible. If you want a slim and stylish phone, the W880i is not a bad choice. Just be aware of the extremely thin keys and poor camera performance.

this fone is a nice design - has good sound, the camera quality is pretty poor - and has alot of mechanical issues.

This is probably one of the worst phones i have ever had !! firstly the phone turns itself off with the slightest wrong touch which is highly annoying, the battery last just under 2 days and it does not have an impressive web browser compared to most new phones. the keys are small and i find the navigation difficult on it. i think this is not one of S/E best makes thats for sure, mine is going to be tossed into the trash as soon as i get a replacement.

Mike

I have had this phone for 10 months now, really good phone. Only down side is the small keys which you have to use your finger nails to text with otherwise you press 4 keys at once. Also, it keeps on turning itself off, usually if knocked but sometimes just by itself. I work for a phone company and this is something that I hear a lot about with this and the W910i as well. Good news is that this is fixable under the manufacturer's warranty though.

Having this phone about 2 month. And im very pleased with it. What all i want is just phone with great music. Eventhough the loudspeaker is not good but the headset is awesome, its better than any other phone manufacturer. Another thing this phone is fast and never hang. The Camera quite all right, you can use night mode in the dark. But it would be great if there were flash on it. Overall its a great phone!!!

Hey guys I got my Gold W880i a few weeks ago and now I'm seeing that number three and six are starting to peel. As in the silver paint is starting to come off. Now I was wondering is it possible to replace the keypab on this phone, if I sent it into vodacom. In the phone's defence I use the phone mainly for messaging. Thanks.

Johnno

Hey all, just wanted to let you all know what I think about this phone. I like it very much! I've had it for 3 months now so have certainly given it a good run to properly evaluate it. I started out with Ericsson phones then went to Nokia. I soon found the quality of Nokia very very poor so went back to SE. I've always been used to Symbian but this phone design and interface is great! Last Nokia I had was the N80 which I got rid of because it would constantly hang. I've only had one hang with the SE and I think it was due to a dirty SIM card. I love that the phone is very slim therefor it's easy enough to take anywhere without being noticable. The battery life is fantastic especially on UMTS. I don't use the camera on it so I can't comment on that. The call quality is superb and the display is great even in direct sunlight. One thing that made me buy this is the stainless steel case as I needed something that was durable (one thing Nokia are not unless you go back to the indestructable 3310/3315) and that it was so compact. One thing I don't like is the size of the buttons. It can get annoying for texting so takes a bit of getting used to. One thing I miss is WiFi but the N80's battery life was pitiful with it on (I used it for Salling Clicker). If your looking for a compact and durable phone, I highly recommend the W880! The headphones packaged are excellent and also has a 3.5mm jack for your stereo and the 1Gb card is a huge bonus. SE all the way!

Andre

Unfortunately I have few good things to say. The keys are a pain to work with, the shutter release on camera is WAY slow, zoom only available on video, the front camera cannot be used except for video calls, autotype is a pain sometimes cos it brings up the wrong words. When I type I'll it switches to H'll. As I say that a lot it's annoying. It takes too many keys to switch to numbers. The earphones are nice but the phone speaker is not suitable for music. Good stuff: predicting words from what has been used before (rarely used but nice), memory card, earphones, phone to pc options, comes with cable, long battery life, looks good and is small and light.

Had the phone for 4 months now, being a lady i really like the slim and light design. As a walkman i would have expected it to have an fm radio, regardless of being a walkman it sould still have a bigger screen and a better camera. i wanna upgrade

x_con

I have the phone for almost two weeks now, and the conclusion is pretty simple: the battery life is very decent, music experience is great. the only downside is the fact that the camera could have been better but it's a Walkman if someone wishes a better camera buy a "K" series phone by SE. Many people say that the display could be a little bit bigger; i agree with them but you buy such a phone for music not for its' display. Oh, by the way, the multitasking works with no flaws. You can find many Java applications on the net for it. OVERALL: good music experience, complete package, good looks and feel of the buttons even if it doesn't show at first, decent display, well designed menu and multitasking. Main disadvantage is the camera quality but it is a Walkman not a "K" phone.

i would suggest u get a nokia man the 5610 is a good choise.I also had a walkman and it was doing the same thing all the time so i don't trust sony ericsson any more

worst phone i have ever had, has been sent off for repair 3 times with the same fault (keeps switching off randomly) n after many visits to the shop complaining and after many letters to the head office complaining they have finally agreed to change the phone. i would advise anyone to stay away from this phone and possibly the make of the phone, my boyfriend has the same phone and his has the same problem, also my brother has a sony errikson and he has sent his of for repair. worst phone ever in my opinion.

The camera does not have a flash. Well at least on my phone. I hot the gold one. But I don't think they would have changed it. So no the camera does not have flash. But it performs ok.

impressive battery life!!!!

YES its a great phone!!! Even though the keys are tiny ang slim it didnt hurt, unlike the k550i. Themes are excellent smooth interface.. nice bass with the headset, but without it music played is kind of air-ry or maybe not as solid. Camera is not as good because when i transfer it to my laptop its blurry even under good lighting conditions but with its small slim built i still give this unit an A++++ . It now comes in Gold :)

tomba

Great phone Only the colour of the buttons is not so hard painted and ith has wore off on some places - but i carry it with keys in my pocket - it's so damn small ;) Screen is really good. REALLY GOOD! Lots of games on net for this baby, comes with 1Gb memory ... what to say ... And so slim ...

guys i want to buy this phone. Do u preffer it or not?

W880 greatest phone

after 3 months of using this phone i must say the phone is fabulous, the best phone on market, design is WOW, super, super,battery life is awsome sometimes if forgot that its actualy needs to recharging, it got everything what phone is supposed to have, all sorts of mobile phones i had in my hands for weeks like iphone, B&O, N95, all sorts of top models and must say this one beats them all...... only thing i miss is flashlight but beside that this phone is awsome ........

Frankie

I officially got my gold w880i today. I have to say it's absolutely fantastic to look at. The key pad takes some gettin used to but i'm already typing without looking. The features are excellent for a non symbian phone. The only problem as mentioned befor is the lack of a radio. I myself have owned phone with a radio and never used it. But i can see how this could be a problem for others. The speakers that this phone comes with are absolutely fantastic So all in excellent job sony.

Salim

w880i is abrilliant hanset but only one thing about this handset main feature Walkman it self is not music sound is not so good if you can compare with normal N73 stil n73 is good sound quality

Btw,this thing called Track ID should have been replaced with radio.its so bogus.i only used it once.its a non-starter.should have been hidden under Entertainment section.oh how i wish u had put radio in its place,prices would have really shot up.the 1 gb soothes me though.

I have had the phone for a couple of months before i decided to post.the phone is super.the best thing i love about it is its ability to multitask.very strong processor,stable,compatible to most Java applics,IM capabilities are fyn,size is ok and i only fault it on the radio side only.that is taken care with the 1gb mem kad.i love it.keep it up SE.faithfully with u all thru...

Sound quality not very good for a W series phone.. Aint it suppose to be a walkman phone and have good sound quality? Vibrater too weak. i barely feel the vibrater doing it's job when it's in my pocket.. But still overall a sleek n nice looking phone.. Good phone. But too far away from being perfect.

no it cant zoom im 2mp seting.. i think all SE phone cant zoom in max mp of camera ( k800 cant zoom in 3.2m mode , w810 cant zoom in 2mp mode) .. but u cant zoom it after u take the picture..

the steel silver colour is super cool.. this phone is suitable 4 trendy people

Does it zoom in 2 Mega Pixel Mode and does the Memory Card flap cause an problem i mean does it protrude out and opens when it like to because it is located on the part where u r holding it the most..... plz guyz help me i want to buy it but these r the two main obstacles obstructing me from buying it.

basically a very portable, convenient phone with almost all basic features except lack of fm radio. however I m not sure if its just my phone or e batch or e model, auto switchoff quite frequently when e battery is low

its a shame sony didnt fit a light in the phone so you could take clearer pictures at night , other than that its a good phone ,

To Umar: This phone has one of the best and durable casings around. I've had mine since March and it still looks mint despite not having an extra protective outer case. The rubber back is brilliant and does not attract dust. And the front is brushed steel that does not show scratches.

the problem is when your phone battery is totally empty, you dont have a homecharger and you want to charge true USB. It does not start charging.

I have the N95 now and I did have SE w880...and hands down the SE is better. -Smaller -lighter -better screen -better options -better batt life -and the most important thing which I really noticed now with all Nokia phone the signal is very very and i say it again very bad. Now nokia fans will say why did you bought the N95 than?...and I will say cause i was stupid to listen to all the things you fans say about N95 and since I had the W880 for along time....and I am a type of person who keeps changing his phone.. I use to buy only Nokia...and never tried anything else...for the reasons that we are all used to nokia menus and so on.. But beleive me get W880 or at least see one of your friends who used it ask him and try it i garranty 100% you will change your mind... As for me i am going to sell the N95 and get me a W850 this time a black color ;)

no light?? is it...? should i buy cybershot 3.2MP or this phone....????? help me

Bro, if you're after a good camera fone, then go fr the k810 fone coz it has a cybershot technology, auto focus and macro mode. These decreases the chance of blurred image when your hand is a bit shaky or you are trying to capture image at a very short distance, i min as short as 5-10 cms (macro mode shooting, the main subject comes clear while the background is a lil bit blurred) from your subject. k810 hav that, w880 don't, though imaging with w880 isnt rili that bad. But if your after a good music experience, equalizer, cool player interface then go for the w880. The music player of k810 is good enuf in terms of sound quality but it's a bit short on other special music player features. k810's super weapon is its camera, while with w880, its the walkman player 2.0.. So just ask your self, Music or Imaging. Simple as that.

Wait Karl ! what do you mean RUN and BUY? this model is all over, w890 is out in one month!!! w890 seems like a great upgrade for this model - no reason to buy w880 anymore... it is the same phone but: 1. with FM radio. 2. with a bigger screen. 3. with better keys. 4. with Walkman 3.0. and i am sure there are many other surprises :-)

Karl

I cant belive this...you ppl stating that the w610i is better then w880 have NO IDEA ON MOBILE PHONES what so ever, so just stfu already. I was kinda sceptical to the buttons on this phone first but as they all say here you get used to it and will achive the same typing speed you had on your older phones. About the Radio...Oh my god, what F00L would use the radio when you have 4-8 gigabytes of your favorite mp3`s in there? Its not a loss really. Run and buy! :)

zorro

i want to buy w890 or w898 that are upgrades to w880 and w888 respectively. i do no need 3G as i do not like video calls. does this mean i better go for the w898? is it going to be cheaper than the w890?

this phone has no radio, kind of boring but the design is good,. but i think w610i is better than this phone. how come this one is more expensive than w610i..

I havent found the volume button on it. can anybody know. I personally have W810 that has volume/zoom button on top right edge. This one has only a small zoom button.

Bobka, great analogy..you're right..how silly of me. my next phone will be a plain phone, no features, it will be really small and sleek. I'll also carry with me a radio (your suggestion), an ipod to play mp3's, a torch, a calculator, a personal organiser, a camera, a gameboy, a laptop for web browsing, a stop watch, and a portable hard disk. Why have one phone with all these features, when I can just carry around a bag full of gadgets. Good thinking Bobka !

BOBKA

To the guy who miss a radio and rides a bus every day: nice parallel with a 2-seat bus. I would even say that in 21st century a Walkman phone without a radio is like a mail arriving without help of a postman... oh, it is that magical thing called e-mail. there are also other things around like sattelite radio so you don't need to listen to commercials on your local FM. so it is a Walkman phone - it plays your music collectin and does a great job of it. youneed a radio - buy yourself a $5 unit and enjoy

BOBKA

Great phone for all of us who want something really small, but very usable. Pros: so small and thin - I was waiting for it for years very hard to break - very good kind of non-slip and break resistant plastic on back and thick aluminium front plate good attention to all details - even has tiny rubber feet on back so you won't scratch camera lens (glass cover actually) when you toss it on a table. it also helps the phone not to slip from the table when it vibrates amazingly great for Internet surfing, e-mail and IM use - it is all built-in, no need to download Java applications. it even RSS feeds! all you have to do is to set it up right and W880i will make you forget about your home PC for most days if you want Java applics - they work great thanks to brilliant high resolution 240x320 screen and fast enough processor (I can see my doorsteps in Gogle Maps Satellite view and directions calculated almost right away) new Walkman v.2 player is great - good looks, easy to use, good sound quality Cons: yeah, it doesn't have radio and I don't care. I don't know when people actually use it - you either flying (and no FM reception up there) or driving (ever seen a car without stereo?). And if you want to get into the particular mood - you have your own playlists on Walkman no flash for camera - that's regretful. actually the camera is a big step back from my old W800 (no auto focus either), but I don't care - I use camera only for taking attaching pictures to Contacts list. a flash, on the other side, is very useful as a simple light. I can do without it but I miss it a lot all in all it is great phone and you can buy it on ebay around $300, which is not that expensive. it includes 1GB memory card already (mine has Sony external speakers in the box too - nice bonus). my advice is to upgrade it to the latest firmware immediately - use official SE Upgrade Service or go to your Phone Service Provider. It will give your louder sounds, better battery life (probably) and will fix some minor issues. P.S. you wonder why people will lug iPhones around when it is not even capable of sending a simple MMS. W880i can do all you need and the size is amazing... oh, and design is just great :)

it's a walkman phone ?...but no radio. That sounds like a contradiction. Like saying, it's Bus, but only has 2 seats.

I Know many things about the phones and I had many of them . This phone is a phenomenon . 1. Very Good Material Quality 2. Very Thin 3. Amazing MP3 playing quality And the best part is , all the features are working in a high standard . Just in 9.4 mm . can anyone do that ? Be Sure U can not really find . So please do not try to make objection when U don't know nothing about the phones .

The cellphone was made to be slim, light and to have style. If you think the phone isn�t good because it dosen�t have a little white led and RADIO, just don�t buy it. It�s a Walkman phone and it works very well.

Borrowing this phone from a friend as my phone broke (LG Chocolate... never again!) after only 10 months. My friend didn't get on with it as he said it doesn't have infra red or wi fi.

open your eyes people. how can this be a perfect phone ? no such thing as a perfect phone. They all have their pros and cons. This is perfect if you want a small phone that doesn't do much. Not much good for anything else. I had one, and sold it, i decided to keep my 2year old W810i. has lots of features, good size, better quality. That's not a perfect either..but better than the w880

I cannot do anything but agree with 'U2{p'. This phone is great for some, and horrible for others. Yes, the keys are small, but if you can live with typing in 1 minute instead of 30 sec, then it's cool. The battery on SE is THE BEST. no doubt. All over a slick phone, and you cant feel it is in your pocket. I have had nokia n73, e65 and many other phones too and this is by far the best i've had.

Anonymous

No, you can't silence the camera sound on W880 either. I think it's the same with every phone. Just something the manufacturers put in place so that their products aren't abused by showerroom voyeurs to take pictures/videos on unsuspecting people.

A question

Can you set silence the camera sound? Because I have a k700i and is impossible Thanks

radiofreak

The problem with all SE sets is the big headset plug - it's bulky, it gets in the way, and it spoils the phone's clean lines. On models which have the connector on the side, like here on the w880, it's downright ridiculous.

Ben

Hi, this phone is great, BUT the camera is awful, grainy in poor light and sometimes grainy during the day, why not put a flash in it for the love of god! also, the durability is terrible, stainless stell is on the front of the phone, but the edges are plastic, and as such break of very easily if dropped on its corner,once the edges snap off it looks awful, had phone about 4 months now, and has started to turn itself off, will 02 fix it or not?

GR

The front camera is used for 3G calls only i think, rarely use at all. I love the weight, size and aesthetics, real beauty. Buttons are a bit tricky if u have long nails haah

Hi!! I have a Question For you people, can anyone tell me if this cell phone plays MPEG4 videos!! thanx from Uruguay Mauri

Anonymous

Very nice phone, only thing is i have big hands and the keys are hard to separate when texting. I do love the brushed stainless steel feel and it's so easy in the pocket. My Trucks bluetooth works with a larger volume with this phone. While the phone has a speaker for it's 200 odd song storage at 5megs each, it comes with headphones which sound beautiful in full stereo. If you can live without IR (who uses it anyway when you can use a usb to usb) and can put up with it's small keys. This is one beautiful phone.

Nick

Its a waste of time, its not breaking any boundaries at all! Its been done a million times

ive had the 880 since june and the only problem ive had is that it just swithces off by itself constant,i work in the mobile phone industry and ive seen the exact same problem with others!!!!its been repaired and doesnt do it any more but thats not cool for a SE

very superficial phone. a good girls phone. small, works fine as a phone, but too many compromises in features to get to the small size. I rather have a slightly bigger phone with IR, better speaker, light/flash/...etc

Anonymous

Small keys? I think they compliment the overall look of the phone. Would not be the same with larger keys. Seen the leaked pictures of the successor W890i? Larger keys but not the same charisma that W880i exudes. If only people can look at the bigger picture than being myopic. Get used to the keys, get used to this gorgeous phone. Or else don't bother getting it at all.

excellent by all means but one : when you connect the w880 to a pc usb port, you have to choose between either phone & modem or usb mass storage & usb battery charging. => it's quite a problem not beeing able to charge the battery while using the umts modem or usb mass storage functions. I give it a 9 instead of 10 for that reason. ps: - BT 2.0 allows 45Kb/s transfert rates. - try MyPhoneExplorer, an excellent non intrusive share ware intended to explorer any SE phone (USB, BT , irda):

This is the best phone in the world. 10/10 My suggestions to sony ericsson: 1) add flash light 2) make buttons a little bigger 3) make the phone in different colors MATT colors only and absolutely not glancy fingerprint magnet colors. 4) auto focus only if possible.

I have a W880i, I love the phone and all but, the speaker is dead. so I;m not too happy about that

Dani

@MMMBop Yes W880i is Compatible with 8GB M2 cards!!!!! when it releases it is compatible with 4GB aswell !!!!!!

ansari

hai sony members, w880 is a very good mob,no FM radio thats the only default

I've had mine since June now, and love it. I work in the mobile industry and have to test hundreds of mobiles a year, so I get to play with most. The fact that they have crammed 3g into such a small package and it all works so well is great. The camara performs very well although no light/flash and the small buttons are a bit inconvenient. The speaker quality is what I'd expect from such a slim unit.

what memory does ths phone support up to? m2 cards go up to 8gb is that right?

i found this phone rubbish and hard to use compared to my nokia e61i. i have a 1gb card in the w880. how do i format the memory card!!! i cant find any options in the menu or settings. stupid phone. screens too small, cameras rubbish, buttons are girly. the only good thing about this phone are the headphones. 2/10

Kellie

Just remember, although the internal memory is low it does accept M2 cards.

I want to buy this phone but I have one question - is there a problem with low internal memory - just 16MB

I love this phone. Everything about it is perfect. One thing I would've wished: Bigger buttons.

I know the reason why many people say that this phone's sound quality is poor. I had a K750i and now I have this phone (W880i). This phone comes with the new headphones. The sound is terrible because of these headphones. I put the headphones from the K750i onto this one, and the sound can be compared to the sound from an ipod - very good. Only downfall of this phone is that it doesnt have a flash for the camera , and no radio, and the headphones are terrible. Otherwise an excellent durable phone

My W880i also turns itself off when it feels like it. I'm taking it back to my network provider today but I am now worried in case the problem does not get resolved like with yours.

Liz

Ive had this phone about 6months and I got the speakers free with it and they sound fab. The only thing is i've had to have the software upgraded twice so far as it keeps turning itself off. Its okay again for a few weeks then square 1. It's started happening again this week. Any1 else had this?

angela...lots of people use the loudspeaker instead of headsets. both as a handsfree and for listening to music. i have a w810i and the loudspeaker sounds ok. not fantastic, but good for listening with the kids. But the 880 loudspeaker is horrible. Sounds like earphones turned up really loud. They are no good as a loudspeaker for handsfree or music. This, the fact that there was no radio, no infrared, and i didn't like the buttons were the reason for me selling my 880 and keeping my 2 year old 810

Angelo

For me this phone is simply erresistable. with smooth style, thin good walkman. anyway do anybody appreciate the sound of other mobile without the headset! i dont think so. so stop pretending that other mobile without the headset is good to hear.

This is the second best phone in the market after the w810i

DANi

the whole Point of the Walkman its all in the HEADSET ! i Like W880i

I just want to ask if does the phone have gps(navigation) on it?I heard someone saying it does you can dowload it

Nuwan

Phone is cool. Of course the display size is not enough with respect to the given resolution 320x240. Good as a walkman but only when u r using headset. Cos speakers r bad. Good batt life.

Emmerly

When i first saw this phone i was oh thats so nice its really thin not too heavy.. i jus wish the botton were a bit bigger they are really thin and small >< With my current Nokia the bottoms are like double the size and i just like msg really easyly.

Gave up on this phone. The small key pad is not user friendly at all! Have owned 5 models of SE phones but this model is the worst! Getting rid of it after 1 month of torturing....

ChrisL

Hi SE w880i Owners...questions for u! 1) Can the w880i support memory stick micro M2 of 4GB? 2) Has anyone paired and use the w880i with HBH-DS220 stereo bluetooth headset b4? Reply soon! Thanks

Baha

This fone is slim cool, very smart for a businessman. very good features, weldone Sony!

Morne

I am almost due for an upgrade and the Sony Ericsson w880 just popped in to my head, my friend also has one of them and you definitly can't go wrong buying one of them. I can't wait to get my own!!!

got this phone for few days now and im lovin' it!!!!...

SK

got the phone 3 days ago. read various reviews also. the sound quality really sucks with the bundled headphones but is amazing with larger quality headsets. Any suggestions which one to buy, preferably bluetooth and easy to fold and carry ? thanks

i have had this phone since may, i think it looks the part but like many people have said the camera could bet better and a radio would have finished it! the last week or so it keeps switching itself off on its own, very annoying!

stone cold

why this phone does not have radio

nelly

I like this phone I used to be a Nokian for the past 5 years ,but now I chose SE as it's durable and the software it's so great than Nokia .Everything is clear especially the photos and it's got 1 GIG to use and the memory card as well.you can watch movies as well so the SE W880 its a nice phone really.

dK_BUTTHEAD

Not bad...love it...if only the screen was bigger...wish there was a radio...the design is slick...i'll rate it 8/10

I wish to purchase this phone. Can anyone tell me is the "incoming call" ringing tone loud enough? Before this, I'm using N70, but the "ringing tone" is very soft. Thanks
