Sony Ericsson W380i User Reviews

This phone is brilliant. It has everything I need in a phone and is a pretty purple, it also features a hidden screen on front and walkman controls on front making it easier to use. The main screen is a good size and the keypad is designed well. The camera is ok but not the best, it takes good enough photos when there is plenty of day light.

This phone is great for playing music. The buttons on the front of the phone are very useful and a great feature on the phone. The motion sensor on the phone is useful for silencing the phone which I love. The only downside to the phone is the camera, not very good quality and there is no flash so is rubbish for taking photos in dark places.

I thought the Sony Ericsson phone looked good to buy in the shop, but when I took it home I was disappointed that it didnt have as many features as my previous Sony Ericsson.

What I liked the best about the phone was that you could see the date and time, along the front of the phone cover without having to open the phone up. You could also see if you had a message or if someone was calling you, you could see who the caller was again without having to flip the phone up.

But that didnt last very long as after 1 month there was no light to show the date and time etc. Also on the front of the phone there are 3 button like features and if you press the play symbol it automatically swithes on your MP3 player and there is also a stop symbol, rewind and fast foward. I think this is a unique feature that makes this phone a little different from the rest, the only downfall about this, is when you are listening to the music and with your phone being in your pocket,if you brush over the button/symbols it will stop or change the song etc!

Everything else is pretty much standard and the same as the other Sony Ericsson phones I've had so I wouldnt recommend people to run out and buy this phone but it is worth the money as it was only £70.

I have found this phone one of the better ones I have used. It is easy to use and compact. I like the fact that by a hand movement across the front of the phone can reject a call. The camera and video are easy to use and you obtain a decent picture or film.

This phone is quite a charming and very stlylish and economical as Walkman phones go. Its easy to use once you have got used to its many features including rss feed .The only let down is the battery power and loud speaker quality.

The battery needs charging on a daily basis and does not have a very good stand by time, which is quite inconvenient as I spend many hours away at work. The other feature that is quite poor considering its a music phone is the loud speaker that you can either talk or play music through. I found it quite dissapointing as even when on full volume I struggled to hear clearly and music sounds very crackly and unclear.

I would not recommend this phone to those who like to play music on speaker as it is very dissapointing indeed. On the plus side I found it quite an intelligent phone with many cool features and is a pleasure to use 95% of the time. I do think however that Sony could have made a better effort as to the quality of the speaker function as it is supposed to be a music phone and it should be one of the best features. A nice phone in general but is let down by the poor quality speaker.
