Sony Ericsson W880i 3G WALKMAN Phone Review

The Sony Ericsson W880i is a slim phone WALKMAN phone with excellent build quality. It’s also the thinnest 3G phone to emerge from Sony Ericsson to date:

Sony Ericsson is really gaining momentum and you need only look at its growing portfolio of “Cyber Shot” and “WALKMAN” series of mobile phones to appreciate their offensive. By tapping into existing technologies from Sony’s Cyber shot and WALKMAN products Sony Ericsson has been able to roll out mobile phones that offer genuinely decent imaging and music capabilities. The WALKMAN series of mobile phones in particular boasts good sound quality and music playback functionality in addition to being easy phones to wield. The new W880i (codename ‘Ai’) is one such phone, nicely packed with features such as the intuitive WALKMAN 2.0 GUI and TrackID, only much slimmer than its predecessors.

It’s not hard to see why we think the W880i is a very desirable handset. First of all, thanks to the stainless steel faceplate, the phone looks and feels great. It is very light thereby making it a very portable cameraphone and WALKMAN MP3 player to carry around for calls, music and lighthearted photography. The user interface is pretty and very easy to use, likewise for the WALKMAN interface. Lastly, with 3G connectivity, a built-in web browser and a front-mounted camera, the W880i is both a handy gateway to the Internet and for making video calls.
