Reviews of the Sony Ericsson W980 - black (unlocked)

CNET Review
The Good: The Sony Ericsson W980 has a sleek and attractive design with a nice-looking internal display and simple controls. The feature set is good and performance is satisfactory.
The Bad: The Sony Ericsson W980's menus are rather sluggish and it takes several seconds to start up. Also, the external display has a low resolution and the rear battery cover felt a bit flimsy.
The Bottom Line: The Sony Ericsson W980 isn't our top choice for a music phone, but it's an attractive and reliable model just the same.
