Once again the guys from Sony-Ericsson have paid us a visit with yet another hot new phone.
The W980 is the new gem in the Sony-Ericsson treasure chest that is expected to be a big hit with the music lovers.
Unlike many of the other phones about that offer audio playback the W980 goes a step further by being specifically designed for playing music in the highest quality. The W980 does this with its ‘clear audio’ feature, a unique functionality that as the name suggests offers clear audio.
With the clear audio system you experience a sharp level of audio and dynamic bass without the annoying ‘tinny’ noise that you would usually hear from mp3 players and other handsets.
However this audio delight can only be experience with specific ‘clear audio’ headsets, such as the HPM-77 which comes as standard with the handset, so no pre-ordering required...nice!
With 8GB of internal memory, 8 equaliser functions and an FM transmitter allowing you to send your music to other devices without an additional plug-in accessory, the W980 looks well equipped to be real winner with the music loving public.
The W980 is not all about music though it is also a 3G handset that offers HSDPA functionality with touch-sensitive keys and an accelerometer that is very useful when viewing images taken from the great 3MP camera.
If you love your music then try the W980 for size, it is due for release in July and will cost around £300 sim free.
