don't buy this phone from anyone except from Sony ericsson, this guy who is trying to sell is either one of the traitor of SE or guy who has obtained a prototype from somebody and selling that, selling prototype is against the law and its also harmful for anybody to use the prototypes as the EM radiations are not type approved and more than limit actually.

buddy you will fall in trouble now, wait for it. you will be tracked by squad.

    I was wondering. Do you ppl think that we'd be able to access other fone functions, apart walkman, from the external display? Like reading just received messages without opening the flap?

      You are correct, plus Sony Ericsson accessories like their premium watches and bluetooth stereo headsets are fully compatible with one another, while with LG and Samsung accessories, the latest accessories are not even backward compatible. Motorola, well everything's still the same, lol

        i so cant wait to get thisif the price is right.

        i prefer se because theyve all got a good range of accesories and the same connectors not like other brands where they change the connectors to encourage people to spend a lot of money on accessories.

        no other opinions can change my mind.

          zack-
          You can also agree that it's not a SMARTPHONE.
          Sony Ericsson is actually doing a very perfect job of showing the best of the W series, which stands for WALKMAN, which is the MUSIC series of the brand.
          They don't have a specific series yet, though it's undoubtedly that the X series will be just that.
          Anyone who wants to say that the M series is the smartphone series, you are partially right, but M stands for messaging now since those phones were just messaging behemoths.

          The W960 was special in terms of bringing gimmicks and features along with the other phones of their time (W910, K850).

                guys dont pick this phone coz it is suppose to be an upgrade from the w960i. but actually we cant call it a real upgrade coz many super fetures seen on w960i is not on dis phone like the dual led flash,touchscreen,wifi or wlan,autofocus and also the image quality on the camera is not as superior as w960i. the only new feature is fm transmittor.both the phones look good in their own way the w960i is more radical and executive looking while w980i has a more sporty appearence

                  every company is different in terms of the functionaloty so its not possible to have same functions of keys between 2 companies.

                        It took the W960i 4-5 months to get to South Africa. W980i will only be released to the world in Q3 so i'm expecting it to reach South Africa around xmas time, but I could be wrong - depends on Vodacom, Cell-C, MTN, Virgin marketing.

                              To someone who typed this " ok! this is the point dude not all phones of SE will swtich first to VGA before you can change the digital zoom and SE created a VGA for all purpose bec. for example if you want to change the color of your phone that is 65k and your phone has a VGA, VGA can changed the color of your phone more than 16 million color, you can use the VGA to changed it and not either one of NOKIA phones can do that bec. they do not have VGA..."

                              my answer: speak english please! i don't understand what you mean. Do you even understand the terms you are using? i am also SE fan btw.

I think not! and this phone has 8Gb so can you can download all the music you wan't and this phone W980 has very loud speakers...

                                    "how come you cannot zoom in SE megapixel phone and have to switch to VGA mode for you to use the zoom features in the camera while all other phones i know of (nokia,samsung,motorola,etc) can zoom the camera regardless if they are VGA or megapixel camera? Any SE fanatics want to answer this question?"

                                    Answer: I personally think that digital zoom is completely worthless. And i think this is a good decision that SE has ever make. Digital zoom only make the quality worse. They should have started to put optical zoom instead.
