We are impressed with the music part of the phone and it definitely beats the previous W800i model. The included USB cable takes care of the connection, but you can also use Bluetooth, but of course transfer via Bluetooth will be slower. The phone comes with a file transfer application and it is very easy to transfer the music or pictures from the computer to a phone and vice versa. This is better than most of the MP3 players around. The best part is you can play music for 17 – 18 hours. The headset bundled with the phone looks good and the media player is nice, very easy and does its job. The left hand side hides a Walkman button and you will start a music player by firmly pressing this side button. If you want to listen music we would advise you stick to the headphones or connect some external speakers. The built in speaker is not that great as it is missing a lot of bass, but it will be enough for the beach. One to two GB of music should be enough for your daily usage and it is very easy to navigate the music, pause or play the tracks. The phone is all about the Walkman and Photo capabilities. The menu is similar to that of previous models of Sony Ericsson phones and if you owned a SE phone, you'll get to grips with the W880i in no time at all. The 3D icons on the main menu are animated and they look quite cute. It will tell you what the back and C button are used for. The wizard helps you to set the time and date, as well as explaining to you how the W880i works. Once you've switched it on, you will be asked if you need a Wizard to help you out. Once you turn on the W880i it asks you if you want to enable flight mode or simply switch it on in phone mode. If you use any other language you will have to turn this option off. In SMS mode T9 is automatically enabled and on our test phone we could chose between German, English or Turkish T9. The metal keys are too small even for a ladies fingers and they are way too small for my fingers. The metal keys are definetley not comfortable for typing long messages. The 262.144 colour, 240x320 Pixel resolution, 1.8 inch screen is utterly superb in every way. Pictures also look great and we have no complaints about the display at all. It is one of the best we've seen and the icons look great on it. The first thing you notice after having powered on the W880i is that the display is excellent. The size of this candy bar phone is 103x47x9.4 mm (HxWxD). The phone weights a mere 73g and that is with the memory card istalled. The phone features USB connectivity via the Sony Ericsson data cable, so you will be able to easily transfer photos and music to and from the phone. The M2 card is inserted at the side of the handset and it can be removed while the phone is being used. We expected magnesium alloy or something similar, but this is not too big of a deal. This is when you get disappointed, as your sexy phone has a plastic back cover. You need to open the phone to fit the SIM card and the battery. The first impression is that the phone is really thin and I believe that it is the thinnest phone I have ever had the chance to test. 2 GB is a lot of music, but so far there are no 4GB cards available. The One edition comes with a 1 GB card and in a retail store a 2 GB card costs about €40. It uses a Sony M2 memory card, which is one of the smallest memory cards you can get. This is the thinnest Sony Ericsson mobile phone ever and it looks really cool. Multimedia brings sound, video and pictures together and this is exactly what the W880i is all about. Motorola can bring out a nice device now and again and Samsung is still in the fight, but Sony Ericsson remains the top multimedia phone manufacturer. Sony Ericsson is the only real competitor to Nokia. Sample provided by: Multimedia shop, Vienna
