Sorry, I was talking about black with a silver keypad and black rear. 
I don't find the black and orange very easy on the eye - the silver looks much cleaner.

ah I see, but I don't think I would like it as you describe. I prefer the silver just as it is.
I must say I was very against getting this phone, knowing that it didn't really have anything much new to offer but the form factor is really growing on me and I might have to convince my son to take the W950 instead of this one!

@masseur
 Do you reckon you might have a battle on your hands to keep hold of it 
I love the form factor. I was in the t-mobile shop yesterday and the woman who got it out of the box for me was even surprised at how nice it was. "Oooo. its a bit like an iPod" is what she said.
Then I showed her the TrackID and she was even more amazed.
I'm definitely getting one as a 'Party Phone' as someone else put it....

yeah, party phone is a good name for it. In another post I called it a "going-out-but-don't-want-to-be-seen-with-a-phone phone" 
no, no battle. I'll let him choose as its his birthday and if he takes the W880 then I guess I'll have to get another

while I like the W880 in general, here are a few of thoughts I have so far which could be improved.
when in the walkman screen I would like to press and hold the return (back) button to return to the standby screen and let the player keep playnig. This is how it works on W950. On the W880 you actually have to select more then minimize but I would like to see some consistancy.
I feel they could have made the screen bigger. The walkman badge at the bottom is too big and they already have the waklman logo at the to next to the camera and earpiece. This would mean the keyboard could be a bit lower giving more height to the screen. They also could have made the screen wider as there is already room on each side.
When the player is minimised there is no control over the track, i.e. next/prev, nor a play/pause button meaning you have to go back into the walkman application to regain control of the music. of course if you are using a headset with this
thats all so far, otherwise a good effort from SE

Ok, how the hell you get offered a deal like that? I rang them up a minute ago and the person i spoke to said they could only offer the stock tariff options which are on the o2 website.... |

On my W900i, to minimize the  player when a track is playing I just press the button again. When a track is not playing it just switches off and goes back to the main menu.

Pressing and holding the volume buttons slips to the next/previous track. Does this not work on the W880i?

yes, you are right on both counts. I haven't had a walkman phone since w800 as that really put me off and I guess I was expecting this to be consistant with the W950
ok so thats a couple of points answered

I use my 950 in exactly the same way goldenface described, so in one way it is consistant!

I find the W950 controls quite different. the orange button on the side plays/pauses and while its playing you haave the 3 extra bottons above the keypad active for next/prev track and volume is controlled by another button
although yes, if you press and hold the volume button it will change track but since we have the extra buttons on front I have never done that

True... true, but to go back to stanby screen i press the button then the buttons return back to 1,2 & 3. So i then use the volume buttons to control the tracks!

oh well, I guess we do things differently but I also guess I was a bit mistaken after all
still, the screen could have been made bigger!
