Hands-on with the W980, Sony Ericsson's really slick flip
Next to the XPERIA X1, the W980 has to be our favorite set launched by Sony Ericsson at the show. Between the stellar external display, that cool transparent accent on the front of the flip, and the FM radio that works without having to attach a headset -- talk about a fantastic idea that was a long time coming -- it is a stylish thing. Though, those with greasy faces beware, the W980 loves fingerprints, a lot. Oh, and as an added bonus, there's a bit of extra tactile fun when hitting those external buttons by way of some vibration feedback. Job well done Sony Ericsson, this thing's the berries.%Gallery-15822%
Hands-on with most everything Sony Ericsson at Mobile World Congress
Sony Ericsson has a pile of good things going on this week. We thought a round up of some hands-on sessions we've had might be fun and educational, too.

The Sony Ericsson W980
Sony Ericsson has plumped up its Walkman line just a tad today with the introduction of the W980, a pretty well power-packed flip sporting 8GB of internal storage, a generously sized external display, and something the company calls "Walkman on Top." The technology (if you can really call it that) replicates the music player interface in its entirety on the external display, allowing full player control without popping the phone open. Other goodies include an FM transmitter and PlayNow support -- a Walkman phone through and through, if we do say so ourselves. Look for it to launch in Q3 in quadband EDGE flavor with HSDPA 2100 (read: no good for use in the US). Sorry about the microscopic photo, by the way, SE's site is having difficulty at the moment.[Image via Sony Ericsson Blog]
