good alt for mp3 player

Aug 28, 2009

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: looks and sound
Cons: fm transmitter
Opinion:
First i will start with bad stuff, the fm transmitter is a joke the reception is so weak that its pointless to use. And also the construction of the battery cover is bad it feels to loose. Now for the good stuff, nice look, awesome sound very good call reception and good amount of memory. Dont tell me why but i got the violin red color instead of the black one , i just felt the violin red really outshined the black one.

Opinion:
The Sony Ericsson w980 has superb music quality..and it should, considering it's a Walkman phone.. I like the funky light effects that show as the music is being played..though it disappears as soon as your phone goes on standby (with the music still playing). I also like the equalizer since I could really tell the difference as I adjust it according to my preference (there are presets ready, or you could manually adjust it to your personal liking). The FM transmitter managed to get my attention..but I noticed finding the "right spot" is always an issue (for me) when I use the transmitter (hence, I get a lot of crackles or whistling..white noise I think..so I don't really use the transmitter and stick to earphones). The speed is average..lags in some points (e.g. when you search for someone in your contacts by putting in the first and/or following letters). I don't know if it's just me, but my w980 often ... Read more
