Latest Sony Ericsson W880i Reviews
Overall
Design Features UsabilityI can find little fault, the Walkman feature is brilliant
This is the first Sony Ericsson phone I have owned, I have always previously owned Nokia mobile phones, so was a little sceptical before I received my W880i as I had entered into an 18 month contract.
However, my worries were unfounded. To begin with the phone looks great, very trendy, and has a surprisingly large screen for a small handset. It is just under 1cm thick, which is good as it will therefore look inconspicuous when in your pocket.
One negative though, is the size of the buttons - they are tiny, but with practice, this won't be too much of a problem.
With regards to features, I can find little fault. Firstly the Walkman feature is brilliant, enabling you to hold literally hundreds of songs. Other standard features are as you would expect and are all easily accessible/changeable. All in all, a very nice little phone.

Design Features UsabilityAll in all a great phone and I'm in no hurry to upgrade
This is an excellent mobile phone, the best I've had in years. It's small and lightweight and is ideal to keep in your jacket pocket, and not feel like you have a house brick in there. The buttons are a bit small which is the only downside.
It's great for listening to MP3's and the sound quality really is very good. I have to charge it every 3 or 4 days but I do use it a lot for texting, games and music. All in all a great phone and I'm in no hurry to upgrade.

Design Features
UsabilityA durable, inexpensive phone with some nice features
This mobile phone has some great features considering its price, the design I rated a 3 mainly because of the very small buttons that can get annoying and its weird to type. Very user friendly and easy navigation, average features you get on all phones and an ok 2.0 megapixel camera. One thing I do know and have tested with this phone is its durability which is good.
Overall Design Features Usabilityhard to find better for this money
Very stylish looking phone, super slim with excellent Walkman facility. The buttons are quite fiddley though but you have to expect comprimise with a phone as slim as this. Web browser is functional and easy to use, hard to find better for this money. A superb piece of kit.
Overall Design Features UsabilityDesigned more around being a Walkman than a camera phone
I really like this mobile phone. Its small, sleek and easy to use, however the keypad buttons are small so I wouldnt recommend it to people with large hands or bad eyesight.
The camera provides average pictures but its really designed more around being a Walkman than a camera phone so it isn't its best feature. The Walkman is great though, again easy to use and to upload tunes onto.
Overall Design Features UsabilityUse the sim it comes with and not the unlocked version
Slim line and easy to use, keypad is not for the fat fingered. Quick to access and easy to set up, just make sure you use the sim it comes with and not the unlocked version as setting up picture messaging and internet access is a bit of a ball ache, oh and make sure you get a hard case as it looks better not scratched up.
Overall Design Features UsabilityExceptionally thin yet packed with power
The Ericsson W880i is a great phone, exceptionally thin yet packed with power. The music is superb (make sure it comes with at least a 1gb card). The camera is only 2.0 megapixels but is good enough for snaps and can take decent photos in low light.
The menu is simple to operate, plenty of features, the software provided makes it easy to transfer files to and from a computer, a great little phone.
Overall Design Features UsabilityPhotos printed you would never know they were taken on a camera phone
When I first got this phone I had lots of technical problems with it. After the 3rd time of sending it in for repair O2 replaced it and I think I was just unlucky with the first one.
The new one is great, cannot fault it. I always choose a phone with a camera and this one is great, when I get photos printed you would never know they were taken on a phone camera. I also love the size of the phone, it fits nicely in my pocket or bag and is lightweight.
Overall Design Features UsabilityI cannot praise it enough!
I changed to Sony from Samsung because I had been disappointed with battery life and features that just didn't work.
Best thing I ever did, the Sony works like a dream, everything I have tried has worked first time and it looks great, the battery seems to last for days, downloading has worked seemlessly.
The keyboard may be tiny little buttons but they have a lovely "clicking" action which is quite affirmative, even a text-duffer like me has no trouble sending text messages easily.
I have synched up to a bluetooth headset easily and can use all the voice tags no trouble at all. I cannot praise it enough, sad really as I do like a good grumble!
Overall Design Features UsabilityVery good phone, good quality, stunning features, unrivalled design
The W880i is one of Sony Ericsson's Walkman phones, but unlike many of its predecessors, it is stylish beyond compare. The phone's design is superb - less than 10mm thick, it will fit in a CD case! The stylish silver or black and orange exterior really does make this phone stand out.
The phone has full 3G capabilities, and watching TV on the go is easy with this phone. The phone has a superb 2MP camera on the back, and a small camera on the front for video calling.
The phone's intuitive menu is typical of Sony Ericsson, and without instructions you can master basic tasks within 10 minutes - the keypad is different to most phones (the keys are single raised bars) and, I think, is very nice to use, although my friends who tried the phone were divided - it is very much a personal preference.
This is a Walkman phone and I have now sold my MP3 player because this phone does everything I need from a music device. Its Memory Stick Duo mini slot means that masses of music can be taken with you anywhere you go.
Overall, this is a very good phone, with good build quality, stunning features and unrivalled design.
Overall Design Features Usabilityfor me its an iPod with a built in phone
The Ericsson W880i is an excellent phone - best I have had so far, its my ipod that rings when someone needs me haha!! as I say for me its an iPod with a built in phone!!
The buttons can be too small to use for some people, my hubby finds it hard to txt on it but fine for me, sleek, nice looking and loads of memory space too
Overall Design Features UsabilityGreat music phone not camera phone - easy to use
Very versatile phone. Looks great in silver and is easy to use.
1GB memory so can hold lots of songs and music player is of a very good quality.
No flash on the camera and photos are not of a very high quality so use a digital camera instead!!
Overall Design Features UsabilityThe W880i is a very special phone
I bought the w880i because I really wanted a small and unobstrusive phone that wouldn't weigh heavy in my pocket.
I was also attracted to the large screen and the good sized memory that would make it good for mp3 playing too.
The buttons were a downside but after a few days I was used to them. One thing I didn't get use to was the poor camera. Only good for outside daylight shots.
Overall a special phone indeed!
Overall Design Features UsabilityCan't find a replacement phone which is better
I love this phone... had it a nearly a year now though. My contract is due an upgrade but I cannot find a phone that I think will be better!!!
It's gorgeuous looking and even has a suedette feel to its rear surface!
It holds loads of songs. Menu's are very easy.
The keypad buttons are small but you get used to them!!
Surfing the internet is fast and simple.
I can't fault this phone! I am seriously thinking of keeping it and having the money off my contract instead. It's still very stylish and gets good comments all the time ;-)
