Thumbs up for :

• Its compact design and with unique external music controls

• There's a cool sensor under the camera that lights up when a call comes in. let me explain this in detail in a while.

Thumbs down for:

• soft volume

• lacks video recording

• internal memory is too small.

Final Verdict:

Sony Ericsson W380 is a respectable, midrange Walkman phone that
offers some niftydesign touches. But there are better Walkman options
out there।

Style:

sony Ericsson w380 has a cutting edge design with a standard flip design. and it looks very funky. it is available in Grey and purple colors .


Display , sound and other features:

The 1।9 inch TFT display (which I think could easily have been larger) has a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and there's an external OLED mono display with a 128 x 36 pixel resolution. There are three audio player keys located under the external display that also provide haptic feedback when used.

coming to the sensor(as i promised in the thumps up section),cool sensor under the camera that lights up when a call comes in. What’s interesting about this is, if you wish to silence the handset, a gesture control feature lets you simply slide your hand up and down over the sensor to switch it to silent.it also has a 1.3 mp camera.

There's a proprietary slot on one side for USB, charging, and handsfree connectivity. On the other side is the volume control that could also be used to silence incoming calls without cutting the call. A small key-lock slider is located on the rear just above the battery panel.

keypad :

The W380 has a nice large keypad with a 5 way nav-pad and shortcut keys for the internet and other functions. The problem is that for some reason the keys are a bit hard to depress. Not that it’s in any way much of a hindrance; it just slows down message typing a wee bit.

Price range: $191.50 to $257.31
