Everytime I saw this phone it looked like a fake, I don't know if you also think so, but to me the picture looks drawn on a computer:

 

 

Well we do know that is real, so let's hit the specs.

 

A great advantage on the music side is the interal FM antenna, no more need to plug headsets just to get hold of radio.

 

The internal display is still the same old QVGA, we haven't seen many improvements on resolutions, apart on less famous phone, but after all it's only 2.2".

The secondary display, the external one, has an acceptable 176x176 resolution, although I'm not aware of the size of it.

 

8GB of internal memory is the standard now for any good music phone, and Sony Ericsson didn't forget that, even being a slim fashionable phone, the W980 has the heartbeat of a great phone.

 

Obviously we can't ask for perfection, so a 3.2 megapixel camera is a decent addition to the package. As usual on Walkman series, TrackID is a must, and on this phone an accelerometer was included making it possible to use the Shake Control.

 

To finish in style, there is HSDPA at 3.6mbps, but unfortunately no WiFi.

 

Unfortunately, just like any glossy device, the Sony Ericsson is a fingerprint magnet.
