The most unusual thing about it is its form factor – an ultra slim bar-shaped handset with plenty of cool features to offer. Take 3G network support, add a 2 megapixel camera, spice it up with a M2 memory card slot and Bluetooth and finally put it all in the slimmest shell possible and you get the Sony Ericsson W880.
The Sony Ericsson W880 has a trendy design which manages to please the eye at the very first sight. The front panel is made of brushed aluminum which adds to fashionable looks and provides for a rather solid construction while at the same time the W880 is still lightweight and really slim. It measures 103 x 47 x 9.4 mm and weighs only 71 g. Unlike other slim mobile phones on the market it doesn’t compensate for it’s ultra slim body with larger body width or body length. The central place of the front panel of the Sony Ericsson W880 is taken by the 1.8″ 262K colors TFT display with a QVGA resolution. Above it you can see the VGA camera for making video calls and the in-call speaker grill.
Sony Ericsson W880 supports MP3, AAC, and AAC+, E-AAC +, WAV, WMA, M4A and MIDI file formats. The Walkman media player is version 2.0 and features improved interface. It has several equalizer presets including the proprietary Mega Bass. The player can be set to run in background. When in background mode, there is an indication of the name of the song and artist of the track currently playing in the top part of the screen. The control of the player is intuitive and really easy to use.
The 2 megapixel camera of W880 does its job satisfactorily. The camera offers night mode, self-timer, panorama, frames, and burst shooting modes. It also features white balance correction. Several color effects are available.
The Sony Ericsson W880 is a great addition to the Sony Ericsson lineup. Furthermore it is a really intriguing addition to the group of the slimmest champion mobile phones in the market. The thoughtful technical specifications, the great music player and the decent battery life are great. All in all, a great move from Sony Ericsson that would win them a lot of fans
