A Quick Look at the Sony Ericsson W880i

The brand new Sony Ericsson W880i is a walkman phone from Sony Ericsson which is said to be the best walkman phone yet. However, I’m not convinced and I have to say that I think the W595 is better. This phone has a feature missing which I though would be rather important for a walkman phone – it doesn’t have an FM radio. What’s that all about? I guess because the phone is so small at only 9.4mm thick, they decided not to put one in but I think that’s a mistake. Now for a walkman phone I’d have said that an FM radio was a key feature.
I’ve read some Sony Ericsson W880i reviews and they seem to indicate that this phone is a great walkman phone – but I’m not convinced. Ok, so it has all the music features that you’d expect but without an FM radio I think a lot of users are going to be disappointed. I just think it’s bizarre that they’d knock a feature like this out. In my opinion, the W595 is much better than this phone and it also has a better camera so is an all round phone. I’ve never been a huge fan of walkman phones because I feel that the walkman players are just fancified and I’ve seen a lot of media players on phones that do the job just fine without having to be branded a walkman phone.
There is a Sony Ericsson W880i video review that I’ve seen that seems to show the phone in a lot more detail than anywhere else so you may want to check that out. However, the Sony Ericsson W880i contract phone doesn’t do it for me – However, there are some good Sony Ericsson W880i deals available if you’re interested in buying this phone.
