i've tried this phone yesterday and it feels great.the lack of radio isn't a problem cause i rarely use it (because it's crap anyway.it lacks bass etc etc...).the main thing that i disliked is the old interface.and i don't mean it's functionality,cause that is great (fast,easy to use,good options) but the looks of it.two years ago i had a k500i.it barely came out then,i got fascinated by it,and got me one.and the menu looks almost the same.it's designed like for a 5 year old kid.you pull out of your pocket a cracking phone but with an interface for a baby.now it looks so boring.and you can't change it via themes like you can do at samsung,at nokia and at other producers.the icons are looking as stupid as before.

It looks nice. It feels nice. It works perfect. I use the phone one week now and be honest this is a nice mobile. OK, the missing radio is a mistake but I owned many many mobiles and nothing is perfect. SE and Samsung are the best mobiles in the world, depends where you put your highlight.
This W880 is made as a Samsung, I mean made with good materials. It carry the price of a Samsung too, I mean it is far away from cheap. But it has the extreme easy to use SE software loaded on it what makes you setup and configure your phone in less as 15 min, all done e-mail included. Nice from SE. Good job

a brilliant handset, a sleek design and small and slim. all applications works awesome and very quick access from one application to another. battery life is good as well, lasted for 2 days even on bluetooth use. Sound...not as good as W850 maybe becos of small slim speaker...but its still acceptable. very poor sound on speakerphone...:( ...Overall. 8/10!!

I think that sony ericsson is aiming now to the "beatiful phone, featureless phone, expensive phone" style that uses motorola: they make phones with some simple features, put in it a good design and sell it to higher prices than the ideal one. And writing sms in this phone will make your fingers cry of pain lol.

Well after a week using the w880i i have to say its an amazing phone, its jus so slim feels nice in the hands and also looks great. I cud link the w880 wid my laptop an use the internet, boomin pice bt worth a quick email check on the train. The sound is great, but if u had the w900i like me, an jus like me u wud b disappointed wid the camera, no doubt the 2mp in the w900 was like a 3mp an much more coz of the large screen, bt the w880 has a standard pic quality, bt it passes to the size of the phone. Overall......9/10 for SE brand

My previous phone was a W900i And i upgraded to this a weekago an i have to say; i have everything ive had in the w900i plus more all in a much much slimmer package. A w900i in your pocket or even in a belt clip is bulkly and annoying, while this phone fits in the smallest hidden pocket of my jeans and goes unnoticed unless i want it to be noticed. You can actually stack 3 of these phones on top of each other and match the w900i in size. You have to see this phone IRL before you can see it's ingenius beauty.

no we are just upset to the new walkman releases, i thought of something very good this year, but really bad walkmanfones ,im a sony ericsson fan, and im using w900i, do you think w900i is a failure??? shame on you,even its 2yrs old, its still the best walkman.
im using it for 2years already and im really upset because after 2 years there still no walkman fone to make me upgrade. still my w900i is the best walkmanfone evermade!i think your fone is more of a failure than mine. your more of a looser than me.

I got this phone, i agree with you its lack a few functions, but buying a handset is due to individual wants and needs. if you really want a handset with good fuction then just go buy one that has it all, no point complaining it here. some ppl just buy for the sake of the looks but not function. So there's no point arguing here, to each his own.

try this fone? get it in my hands b4 i judge?
common, yes i admit its cute. but i dont buy fones becos its cute.what will i get w/ its slim look? the "wows" of other people? but yourself knows it lacks so many basic functions. i ask you what you really get from its slim look? i'll tell you lost flash, autofocus and Fm radio and w/ no FM its track ID is nonsense. its not gonna be slim if it has that features, so you lost many good features. and you are proud of that fone because its the first walkman without FM radio? haha!!! you care for "wows" of others, but you dont care about what you really get from it? your fooling yourself man! you guys are the type of people who cares for what others may think, b4 your sake.

Hey guys stop bashing SE for being innovative.
Nokia may produce all these SMART phones but hey I bet all of you use the same functions and features as all SE handsets have. I'm planning to get this baby when price stabilizes here in the Philippines. N73 compared to W880? boy you better get your head straight. get your bulky phone and leave this slim one alone.

Agree with the comment, to those who havent seen the actual product and havent try it will be surprised about this phone. I, myself doesnt really like slim phone cause it lack of functions, when i see it and try it damn it is really really good. I was surprised. I bought 2, one for my Girlfriend. But WHERE THE HELL IS THE BLACK/ORANGE COLOR ? All the shops only carry the Silver/Black. The price here in Indonesia is quite steep it cost Rp4,400,000 = about US$480. I really like it, its light weight and Slim, perfect fit. The phone feels solid. It has no squeekkeee plastic parts. The Silver side made from Hair line Stainless steel and the black part made from something like hard rubber. This phone is perfect when you wanna carry it around when you are jogging/working out. I only need perfect slim carrying case. Btw the function inside is almost the same as K800i not much different and the processing speed is also fast. Recommended Phone. Now I only need Nokia E90 to partner with the Sony Ericsson W880, W880i+E90=Perfect Dynamic Duo, Like Batman and Robbin hehe...

For those who post some comments here, please, in the first place, have the phone in hand and try it out first. Dont post any unreasonal comments based on visual only.
Anyway got this phone 2 days ago, and was suprised by the quality of the phone. Despite its small screen, it manages to produces a bright screen and clear text. Sound quality is excellent through the earphone and nice on the speaker itself despite the slim factor.
Buttons may look weird to some ppl, but once you get your hands to it, its very easy to use and its well spaced, not causing any problem to text sms.
The only cons i can see from this phone is the lack of auto focus and no flash for the camera, but cmon, its a walkman phone.
For those who wants a nice camera go get a nice k800i or a digi cam and stop moaning about the lack of it.
Cheers
