Sony Ericsson launched a new Walkman mobile phone: the Sony Ericsson W880i. This mobile phone is the result of a perfect combination between a Walkman phone with a very practical and useful cell phone. In the standard package, besides the cell phone and the battery, you will also get a 1GB Memory Stick Micro (M2) card, a USB cable, a Walkman headset, a charger plus a Software CD and some manuals.



The design of the Sony Ericsson W880i is nice. It comes with a “candy-bar” case made of resistant plastic with a high quality assembly. With 103 x 46.5 x 9.5 mm in dimensions and 71 grams in weight, the Sony Ericsson W880i is certainly the slimmest and lightest Walkman cell phone. The case is available in two colors: Steel Silver and Flame Black, each of them making this cell phone look quite manly and rugged.



On the front side you will find a TFT display, a secondary camera for video calls, a numerical pad and the classic navigation buttons (including two soft keys, a Clear key, a Back key, a shortcut key, a browser button and a D-Pad key). On the sides you will find a Fast Port (allows you to charge the phone, connect it to a PC via USB and attach headphones), a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card slot, a Walkman dedicated button, a camera shutter and two volume keys (which can be used to zoom in shooting mode).



As we said, the Sony Ericsson W880i comes with a 1.8 inch TFT display with a native resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The images are very clear and, because this display supports 262K colors, they have a great quality of colors. For taking photos, the Sony Ericsson W880i comes with a 2 Megapixel camera capable of taking photos at a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels and record QCIF clips at a speed of 15 fps. Even if in our days, this kind of camera is an outdated feature, for a mobile phone like W880i it’s excellent. It can take photos at a good quality even if it lacks autofocus and LED Flash. Anyway, a Walkman mobile phone is not recognized by its camera or its display. A Walkman cell phone is recognized by its music capacity. We all know that there is no other mobile phone with a better sound quality than a Walkman phone. The external speaker is loud and produces clear sounds. If you want some bass boost, simply attach the headphones and you will be amazed. For storing your favorite songs or other files, the Sony Ericsson W880i has 16 MB of internal memory which thanks to the Memory Stick Micro slot, can be extended up to 4 GB.



For connectivity, the Sony Ericsson W880i is a Tri-Band (GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900) device and it supports 3G, GPRS and EDGE connections. For other kind of connectivity options, this cell phone is armed with Bluetooth, USB and M2 card slot. Maybe one of the most important aspects for a Walkman mobile phone is the battery life. The Sony Ericsson W880i comes with a standard Li-Pol 950 mAh battery which manages to keep it on for up to 6 hours and 30 minutes of conversation, 20 hours of playback and 425 hours in standby mode.
