Sony Ericsson W880i user reviews

Mark Smith 16 February 2011

Good: It's very friendly to use.

Bad: Some Features Missing Like Radio

Comment: Sony Ericsson W880i is a very slim and very attracting in look and it has very cool features.

Good: I like how slim it is and how it looks and the 1G memory

Bad: The camera is bad in low light

Comment: The slim design meant that this phone was really easy to carry in my pocket and small handbag. I loved the way the phone looked (the silver and black version) and the rubber feel back was tactile and easy to hold onto.
The keys are like small grains of rice and at first felt annoyingly pointy to press. However I got used to them and never had a problem pressing the key I wanted, so the keys probably wouldn't be a problem for people with slim fingers.
I lost this phone in town last night =( and although I'd had it for nearly two years I was happy with it. I quite often droped it on the floor which it coped with fine.

Good: The simple layout of the walkman function

Bad: The small buttons

Comment: I recently got this phone and i think its great. The 1gb memory stick allows you to store around 250 tracks straight out of the box. The keypad is fiddly but you get used to it. I recommend this phone for anyone thinking about getting a music phone. Its slim and weighs practically nothing and an adapter that comes with the phone allows you to plug your own headphones in.

Good: Screen clarity

Bad: Fiddly keypad

Comment: Well I have owned this phone for just over a week, I am now in the process of switching it for another phone, reasons are as follows in order of chief dislikes: -
1. Fiddly buttons on keypad (definitely not a man's phone).
2. Fiddly buttons on side (you need finger nails to operate).
3. Sample games on phone unable to delete.
4. Sound not as good as I would expect from Sony.
5. Kept losing it in my pockets (it's so thin)
6. Camera quality pretty poor.
7. Software supplied wanted to erase other bits of my computer
Not much good to say about my experience with phone. However well done to Sony for trying, but in my opinion small isn't always best.
I would have been very disappointed if I had paid the full price, but luckily it was an upgrade with Vodaphone and they allow 14 days exchange if you are not satisfied, well done Vodaphone.
Oh by the way I'm going from thin to fat and have decided to get the Nokia N95.
Good luck to all you thinny's out there but I'm happy to be fat.

Good: The way it looks and its weight and functionality

Bad: Camera has no flash

Comment: Tpasted £300 smackers on a phone, which is a first ever for me. It just looks fantastic, saw it in the Sony Ericsson shop, which if you haven't been, is worth a visit. This to date is their best looking handset. I saw it in black and orange, but the silver one just recently out, looks and is the business, and that is what I bought. Awesome sound, great Walkman phone and plenty of memory, 1 gig. The screen resolution is brilliant as well, and while the camera has no flash which is its only flaw, the phone is a winner. Well worth the money I forked out. I just carry it everywhere, and everytime I use it people ask me what it is and where to get one. I just love it, even though my wallet didn't...

Good: Skinny phone fits in skinny jeans

Bad: No flash with the camera

Comment: The w880 looks and feels great and it fits perfectly in my jeans without ruining the shape of them. Its quite an easy phone to use and everything you need for it comes in the box including some earphones. The file transfer software made putting music onto my w880 simple and I soon had 30 albums on my phone! The sound qaulity is first class and the equaliser and bass options really get the best out of the tracks. The blogging tool is really cool and quick to use too because it does everything for you. I blogged a whole night out and there were lots of embarassed people the next day because the battery kept going all night too. Having no flash on the camera wasnt ideal but its still a good camera for such a small phone. All in all it's a great phone especially for its size

Good: Slim, music player & GUI.

Bad: Small buttons (minor quibble)

John T. Treharne 24 March 2007

Good: Looks fantastic, the size, lots of features

Bad: No radio

Comment: I always thought such a thin phone would feel flimsy and not have many good features, but my W880i feels great, it's light but solid and has loads of impressive features for a handset that's less than 1cm thick, the 2mp camera is surprisingly good.

To be fair, while there's no radio there is a 1GB card included with the phone which I'm doing my best to fill with music. The music playback really is top quality, and the phone comes with some nice earphones too. I used to love my Sony Walkman back in the day, so I'm happy to see Sony Ericsson pushing the Walkman to higher levels.

Good: Beautiful design, music and the size

Bad: No Flash

Comment: I simply love this phone, its so beautifully designed. Everytime I use it I get envious looks. I had a Walkman phone before which was great, but this is really just gorgeous. Its slim, fits anywhere, and everytime I use it my friends can't get over how cool it is. I already have more than 700 songs on my phone, and still have room for more. The sound is just perfect too. I just love it! The buttons are compact and you grow to like it. The screen gives a great picture and the camera is great for the size of the phone, even though it does not have a flash. I guess now I don't need my Ipod nano - expect to see it on eBay soon...
