I'm on my second W380. After two months, the first one didn't vibrate when I got a call or msg, so sony changed it for a new one. They gave me one that wasn't well painted by the way (some parts of the phone look more black than purple). After another two months, the buttons don't respond the way they did before. Sony won't let me change it for anothe model and pay the difference. Plus the speaker and camera are quite bad. Seriously, not worth it.

a great phone. Lots of feature. I always show the gesture control magic to my friends they get amazed by it. Sound is really good. Smart music buttons. TrackID feature is helpful. The OLED screen outside makes it different from others. Speed is not lightening fast but it works fine for me. 3d games run fine. Built-in speaker is poor and the camera is really extra. And the screen is a bit small, everything fights for space in it. If you want a smart & good looking phone in cheap price go for it.

The phone is great, but i have had the phone for two years and the music speaker stopped. i don't like the issue of the phone not havin the ability of recording videos, and the phone craks on the centre of the rolling part of the flip. but the gesture control and external key on the top of the flip is like way totally cool, mostly the sound from the ear piece is magnificent. well you can buy the phone,ericsson are my best and my next is w995 which is coming soon.pls let it get to nigeria on time.

Ultra-bright screen. Keys are ok-sensitive, but sometimes you need to press harder. Nice music key touch in the front. Menus and applications are easy to access. My cons' are the 1MP camera and its inability to record videos. It's a great walk-man phone for normal use, don't expect that much. I bought a 2GB card for it, everything works great.

Gregory, actually you can use mp3 files as ring tones, I have a W380a, and all my ring tones are mp3 files + the ring tones that the phone has as default.

It's an absolute rubbish phone - so if your considering buying it pls stop! i had it for six months. The phone developed cracks everywhere and the Speakers stopped working.The cracks later led to pieces of the cover falling off, exposing the phones hardware. poor 2G signal too. Camera quality is poor. Does not take videos. and keys on keypad are are so far apart that it slows down typing alot.

I've had this phone for a month,and after using and playing around with it,I'd have to say it's one of the best phones I've ever used. The call quality is nice and clear and my calls are never dropped at all.
I guess the only thing I don't like about it is the camera. The pictures aren't exactly clear,but it's okay as long as you have photo editing software.
Actually,you can put mp3 ringtones on your phone. All you need is a program where you can edit the song you want. Audacity is a free audio editor you can download. Just upload the sound you want,cut out whatever parts you want to make your ringtone,save it as an mp3,and transfer the mp3 to your phone using the USB cable and the Sony Media Manager(...or you can go here, edit your sound,and transfer your ringtone via WAP: http://www.iwfr.net/mp3toringtone/index.php).

Popeye, 25 Apr 2009I purchased a W380a from Fido and I was told by the person ... morePopeye, as I understand it, you cannot put mp3 files as ring tones on this phone. You can, however, put midi files on. You can download good midi ring tones here: http://www.mymidifiles.com/collection
