The Sony Ericsson W980 is an astoundingly good consumer phone that is beautifully finished, offers that all-important haptic interface to give it a real edge, a full 8GB of onboard memory and some well designed features.Sony Ericsson W980 comes laden with a 3.2Mp camera with flash. This is more discreet than some onboard cameras. It's just below the clamshell handset's hinge and all but hidden by the soft-touch black rubber backing. This finish is not only protective; it also makes the phone feel better built than many other phones.
The internal screen laps in at 2.4-inch wide and QVGA res while the 3.15mp camera with PhotoFlash and autofocus definitely offers some rather delicious imaging options. GPS, WiFi, 8GB internal memory as well as an M2 expansion slot make the guts of this puppy almost as pretty as its exteriors and even though its just a concept, this definitely is one cellphone that can take on most fashion-oriented handsets of the world!
