        I have a portable Nwz- A729 walkman player, i used the earphones i got with that player on my w980 walkman phone an i must say using those earphones produces the best sound in any phone ive had, i thought my nokia n81 8gb was excellent but the w980 sound is the very best.

                Excellent phone with great functions - music uploads/transfers in minutes with SE's Media Manager. Perfect for music, ok for photos (no flash), stunning looking and great usability. I actually prefer this phone to my others (renoir, N95 8GB). Would recommend.

                    Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I know one thing
                    i have 78
                    and it does not have good sound quailty
                    in order to increase the bass it minimize the volume of the sound and it will very low
                    and beside its music player is very slow

                              I really dont get it, I've search the internet some says battery is good some says not. My battery sucks too, this is getting frustrating

                                If you go to the se/ apps on your handset you can get this and they work..

                                A light saber that swooshes round as you swing the fone for trekky people..
                                A spirit level called water level and it works accuratly with built in accelarometer,,
                                Their is a gps app to attach your w980 to and external gps module,,
                                Tracker app wich you enter you height calories etc it like an excerscise app that works via gps module,,
                                Vtap dont know what it does but its free,,

                                I have already got,,walkmate,,world 3d clock ,,accuweather,,converter,,music mate 5,,

                                Just install opera mini,,yahoo go !fring and shozu and your almost up to smartfone functions..

                                With 2g set 70% screen briteness i get 3 days of moderate use..

                                Camera gives reasonable snaps that are quite clear to me and video is smooth and not as pixellated as k850i..

                                Also in entertainment you have games track id and Location services were google maps is with settings for my favourites,,status info,,log and settings..The usual remote control and record sound is here too..and a demo tour video..

                                Another thing to mention is that at bottom of media player in settings is media update wich sorts and updates media and should be done when any media is added so it is easy recognised by w980..

                                This fone should put me on till w995 comes out..

                                  I bought the set five months back.After the usage of two months, phone was getting switched off quite often.After reporting to dealer, initially software was redownloaded,still problem remained same.Later on the set was replaced.After the usage of two months again new set also getting switched off quite often.Is is a common problem in this model?
