CNET Asia Review
Very good
The good: Slim, attractive design; solid build quality; bundled with a 1GB memory card; 3G; loud speakers; sharp image captures. 7.7
out of 10View score
The bad: Camera lacks autofocus and flash; buttons are too small; no FM radio; tinny sound quality.
The bottom line: The W880i is slim, sexy and surprisingly packed with features. If you can look past its tiny keys and tinsy sound, this is one music-phone that's worth a closer look.

Major Blunder by SE for a walkman phone
Jul 1, 2008Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Good display
Cons: Very Very poor and lousy sound output, slippery keys.
Opinion:
This phone is a complete disappointment when I found that it could not even deliver sound quality equal to that of a low end model like K310. The sound output from speakers, earphone as well as the regular ear piece are all pathetic.
Why would you name this as a walkman phone? Also the keys, media player etc. are lousy.
sony ericson w880i
Jan 31, 2008Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: very slim and light, the functions are ok
Cons: the speaker is super duper lousy
Opinion:
when i first bought this phone i was very proud of it, but sometime later i realised that the speaker's got a shashasha sound everytime the phone rings which makes me very irritated.
great lookin phone with some drawbacks..
Jan 21, 2008Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: sleek, sexy, anorexic, & lightweight good walkman, nice user interface, 3G
Cons: tinsy tiny keys, can't find external volume controls, poor speaker audio quality
Opinion:
I'm using my friend's w880i for a while so i'd thought id give my two cents worth..
Overall, nice walkman phone however is it just me or does the camera lag so bad that it takes about 2-3 seconds to snap and save automatically and I get blurry pictures if my subjects make the slightest moves...?
Tiny external keys at the sides which require one's fingernails to press on em.No FM radio!!!
However, slim phone packed with the usual SE features including 3G and a generous 1GB memory card. Nice phone but im sticking with my w580i. woohoo.
