Sony Ericsson W380i Reviews

nice phone in general but is let down by the poor quality speaker

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.
