The Pros:Flips open to a large and comfortable size. Slim and light when closed, fits into any pocket comfortably. Buttons are responsive and neat looking.
The Cons:Screen is pretty small and the text is tiny. Need to make sure to charge it every night, battery runs itself completely down every day.
The Sony Ericsson W980 is an upper-mid-level 3G-enabled flip phone. It is one of Sony's Walkman/phone combinations, and focuses on being an mp3 player and a phone at the same time. It has two displays, one internal 2.2"-diagonal, and a smaller external display, both 256k-colors, and uses an accelerometer for autorotation.
