so today i tried w980 for real. i was quite excited to this lovely phone. it was relese this week.
+
the design (its beatiful)
great headphones. (HPM-77)
clear audio experience really make some difference. i tried it on a pair of good headphones (Creative Aurvana Live) and it was loud and good sound.
i also tried the sound on (the stores) MBS-100... great sound actually.
keypad was nice to use
the new feature "walkman on top" worked great. (you get acess to the music directley and faster this time).
fm transmitter, (my favo feature)
new light features who you can adjust to the music was cool (if you like that sort of stuff)
------------------------------------------------------
-
week camera. (also, when you took a picture, you hold your fingers cross very easily).
feelt to plastic.......not very solid
strange old camera meny
----------------------------------------------
some pics

Nice pics there plank... About the camera, this is walkman phone so it's camera cannot be the same as the cybershot series... But if you are in need for a phone with good music capabilities, you can go for this one...

Maybe they wanted to test if the old camera will work with the new platform.  ..
I'm joking... Well I think they wanted to base this phone only as a music player... Not a camera too...

I have got no problem whatsoever with this phone. Really love it on first sight. My main concern was music and it does every part flawlessly for me and very impressively. The clear audio experience is awesome and beats my N95B to death in sound quality through headphones. Yes the camera is in a bit awkward position i should say but i can live with that and I have never used a phone for snapping even my N95B as I have got specialized baby for that.
I agree with Plank that the phone material is a kind of plastic feel but have you noticed how light it is, and I guess it has got the same material and feel of W910.
Below are some pix which i took while i was writing this post, the camera is on default settings.
In first pic, the white flowers are a bit blurry as there were a strong breeze in my garden.

yes its taken with my c902.
---------------------------
@aasimtom... i didnt mean it had bad build design. i just thougt it was little light. i liked the design overall very much.
this outdoor pics are actually quite good. so there i was little wrong. (i tried the camera indoor, and it became bad)
and you really right. W980 weight is super light. (100g exactley)
--------------------------------------
edit. does w980 have 2 separate speakers.. i saw one...am i wrong ???
yes (SORRY), it seems w980 have stereo speakers...strange, it sounded as mono when i listen to it ????

It does have stereo speakers on each side and to tell you they are quite good but not as loud as my N95B. But it can wake you up from a deep sleep quite quickly LOL.
@ Intrigue:
The default sound quality is on Normal equalizer and stereo widening off and is quite good even it is without a feature called Clear Bass though but again there are other presets which are awesome and I love the Unique and Bass in that and it does make a good improvement (upto a greater extent) to the audio quality as compared to the normal equalizer.
Inshort you can consider that normal equalizer as the audio quality on a K850 but a bit louder in W980i.
Moreover it does have a feature of Manual equalizer as well which isn't available in the previous W series.

I don't like the idea of a plastic-cheap feeling....
But we all know the camera must be a piece of junk, they are doing that in Walkman.Has ben discussed before...
Pity? Yes, Shame? Yes, Ridiculous? Yes, They are making us pay too much? YES!
Time will tell whether people will stick(me including) in SE, or change.
But I want this music phone FOR MUSIC. That is my main corcern. And it seems it is going to do it well.I Hope!
If sound and battery are GOOD, that is fine with me. I can live with some of my occasional shots too.
Why mobile-review does not give the review in English????
