W380i
Made for music - Walkman® on top

The W380 reacts to the touch of your fingertips. Music buttons on the outside of your phone let you play, pause and skip tracks. And when you want to listen to radio, just tune in.

Gesture control
Let your hands call the shots. Simply move your hand above the W380i to mute an incoming call or put the alarm clock on snooze. Enjoy the magic of gesture control - control your W380i without touching it.

It's pretty good. Seems just like any walkman phone that's been released so far, software wise. The form looks good, I like the looks of it. The camera has no auto focus. This phone also allows 2 different types of memory card, which is pretty good I guess.
MINJI.v
It's good except the camera sucks... It's not even 1.3mp =___=
SherTeukie <3

Justalilodreamer
not bad, would've looked alot better without those holes on the front (guessing its the speakers)
mama_gir1
^ the flip part is touch sensitive, the holes are, you touch it the song changes and stuff.

i don't really care about the camera, lol, i got my sony camera so its good.
Yes i love this colour! hahaha.
c0lap1nada

Misao

pinkieboox3
sa-weeet!
SE always has awesome phones! smile.gif
Love Virus
don't like the color tho :T
it would look better if it was tinted purple in black rather then the plastic-y purple
trangx
it only comes in purple and black right?

i really like the inside though. its niceeeeee...
if it came in white id be alll over it D:
mama_gir1
^LOL, me too! white rules. but i don't actually mind this colour.
heygingersnap
i like the color, but i dunno if i'd want if for myself...
i really wish they'd up their camera standards, though. D:
SOCKBUNNY
I like the design, but I don't like the small screen :/ why so small?
ulquiorra
love the design and colour! but camera only 1.3? =__=
woei
wow............it looks nice but the camera is kinda sucks
dreamyxxx
ooh i like the colour
but is it just me or when its flipped open, the top looks like its just been..chopped off or osmething?
mama_gir1
^lol, yes it does look like its been chopped off.
trangx
so im kinda confused as to whether this phone is a quadband or a triband. cause in some sites (like plemix for example plemix site) it lists it as a triband, but when i researched further, some places have listed them as a quadband! D:

whattttt? i dont want to get it and find out its a triband, cause that would stink ):
anybody knoww?
' t.
Not an SE fan... (anymore) lOL but I have to admit this phone is pretty cool hahaha.
It's good for those that use their cell as an mp3 player, since SE are known for having awesome quality for mp3 playback. ^^
rinnie_chan
OH, new Walkam cellphone biggrin.gif
It looks quite unique, haha, but i just bought the walkman cellphne W660i, so yea.

Yay, megabass rocks
Precarious
looks pretty nice but if you can snooze the alarm just by waving your hand I'm never going to wake up

Well, I have double checked it. W380 should be a triband phone according to official Sony Ericsson information.

So it might not be good for you. unsure.gif
ahhna
it looks alright to me xDD i love
the inside of the phone though =D
winter.love
Nice phone ! Its purple too xDD
The camera is only 1.3 megapixel? Still good though.

No problem, at first I wonder if we've made a mistake on the product info. Anyway, since you guys like the phone so much, I requested the phone transfered from the Plemix warehouse to me to take some real product photos for you all.

Unboxed with the regular stuff inside.



Use Sony M2 Card


Front shots with Walkman logo.


Side shots. The phone is actually thin and not bulky.


Pink volume control button on the side. The glossy key button design is nice.


The pink button at the back is the key lock button. So even with the phone closed, you can choose to unlock the front panel's music control key to control your music play.


When you have the music turn on, the RR, Play, and FF button grow with song title display on teh front. And rolling if it is too long.


Another example with title in English.


Okay, since it is a low budget Walkman phone, don't expect too much with the included earphones. It is color matched though. sweatingbullets.gif


At the end, I would like to say as a low buget phone, it is really nicely designed and done. The Walkman control functions designed at the front of the phone and you don't have to open it to do almost everything. Also I had played around with the gesture control feature (Turn off the alarm and ring by just waving on top of your phone), and it is fun. phew.gif

@trangx
Just informed by our guys, the Black color is available as well. If Black is something that you want. mellow.gif
the.user
The outside looks nice. And the touch sensor sounds cool. =D

Too bad the specs really suck. Screen is a little too small to my liking, although that's only because I'm used to large screens now. (W910i [240x320] iPhone [320x480])


Also for those who keep complaining about the camera quality:

SE phones are coded.
Phones beginning with a 'W' are walkman phones. More focused on music playback etc.
Phones beginning with a 'K' are cybershot phones. More focused on camera quality etc.

So please stop complaining about low MP cameras on 'W' model phones.
