usability

5

Transferring music is simple process of click and drag
easy use of the music player
Buttons are actually easy to use
easy use functions
easy and one of the best non symbian os

The Sony Ericsson W880i navigation controls and keypad buttons are tiny and difficult to use
they must be a practical joke from Sony
Speaker phone is also difficult to use because of the speaker
fiddly keys but easy to overcome
easy to lose

connectivity

3G connectivity
3G UMTS
3G functionality
3G Internet access
It offers admirable call quality and a decent feature set including Bluetooth

no direct 3.5mm jack for headphones
No 3G support in the U.S
(Unless you're synched up to a set of dorky Bluetooth headphones.)
No 3.5mm earphone jack so you could use the optional speakers at the same time as a charger
Speaker phone is a real pain - but with the bluetooth headset

3G Web browser is quick and easy to access
bluetooth works fine
I purchased the BlueAnt A2DP bluetooth X5 stereo headphones and they work great with this phone
Bluetooth
BLUETOOTH W/ AD2P
3G etc
3g 4 fast internet
3G support with video calls
good audio functions
3G capability

My cons would be the bluetooth compatability
headphone jack is way too bulky for the phone
really needs a 3.5mm jack to accept user's headphones
would be good if they had a rubber plug for the charger/usb port to protect it from dust
CANNOT MAKE VIDEO CALLS W/O 3G SERVICE
no WiFi
bluetooth headset qualität

The design is nothing to shout home about - I'm used to having new concept phones and this one is definitely middle of the road in the looks department

keyboard

0.5

Very good keyboard
The navigation keys are a bit close together though so if you're not concentrating you can hit the wrong key
mMn bisher beste Tastatur
tolle tastatur + druckpunkt

Small keys on the keypad
No FM radio and the keypad is strange and awkward
poor keypad and controls
We found keypad prickly to use
Difficult keypad

Keypad and controls quite small
Keypad is tricky to use
teenie-weenie keypad
Have to get used to keypad
I feel the auto key lock should be tied into the hands free profile especially as this is a Walkman series phone
I normally have the keypad on auto lock and find having to unlock the phone to move between song tracks a pain in the butt
Ended up setting a shortcut key to lock/unlock the keypad
the flaw of this phone so far is the lack of radio and the key pads are also a bit chunky
KEYPAD (TOO SMALL
The keypad is fiddly unless you've got child sized fingers
with a very small size and thin keypad which have lead to even more small and difficult to use f
keypad too small

small screen and small keypad
small keypad buttons
Small keypad keys
Fiddly keypad

portability

5

Slim
Thin body and solid construcion
Great looks and fashionably thin
Thin
Lightweight

connection becomes faulty quickly from having the headset bent in your pocket which becomes a hassle when you need to charge it
buttons are two thin
Overall it's an ok phone-kudos goes to the clean slim profile
Im sure I can find a pocket to accept the (9ft)2.7 metres of wire between my 800i and my Sony back of neck headphones
small and thin buttons

easy to forget about as you cant feel it in your pocket
Some features in other walkman phones missing due to it being slim
seitliche Tasten schwer erreichbar
kleine Tasten machen das SMS schreiben schwer
