How did I manage to mess that up lol...I must be dreaming..
Actually after I saw this awesome phone, I came across another Clamshell..
DoCoMo P905i..Looks fantastic..A bit pricey but worth the penny..
That's it though, the phone is practically useless on all GPRS/Internet related stuff..
Even sometimes the line will gone out of service and need a 2nd phone to revive it -.-

i share your concerns about the outer surface getting smudged and scratched....looks too shiny to be easily maintained

humbly tho, dont think this is the first clamshell walkman....think there were a few before this.....the w710 for instance?

yeah...think you are right....this is the 3rd...there was some w3 something released a few months ago....
first launches are always overpriced.....its the price you pay to be the first to own something....what u migh call bragging rights tongue.gif

then after a few months, prices will stabilize....wait till then...if ur not in a rush...just wait awhile...its not like u need a phone tomorrow...

the SE Center In The GARDENS...ridiculously price it at RM2399..
then i went to Sony Center at Midvalley to clarify..its confirm RM1899..
even the staff there also WOW..when i told them the SE Center selling at that sky high price.
conclusion.. NOT ALL SE center will sell at RRP since they are some or mostly own by DYnacom or whatever AP company..not directly under SE.

so beware..

I hope ur right..coz thats teh best original w980 deal..

The phone is great but stil have some disadvantages..
Camera no af,no flash & at awkward position..
The sofware..not that fast..u can feel some lag..
At 1st me experienced..autoshutdown 3x..invalid sim 4x..internal screen lag 1x..
But now..its stable..all happen when trying some crazy method..haha
Neway, the fm transmitter feature is the best of all..used it everyday 2 work..0veral, i'm satisfied.

P/s : using phone 2 reply..one more thing..the playnow! cant open..said problem wit teh page..anyone can access it via SE phone or not?

so conclusion..

1utama SE - 1999 with BT speaker
Digital mall SE - 2399 with BT speaker
Gardens SE - 2399 with BT speaker
Midvalley Sony Center - 1899 with nothing.
Pavillion SE - 2399 with BT speaker..

The BT Speaker ( black rounded one ) RRP is only RM290 !!!!!!!!!!

so 2399 - 290 = 2109 [ 210 higher than RRP]

Yep, the A200 software doesn't have any limitation on the message storage.

You can even store it on your memory card. But, it would much wiser if you store it in the phones' memory.

Guess what guys, i accidentally scratch the front part of the phone abit.. :sad:cry.gif

haiz... still look ok.

Also, the front part quite prone to scratches i think. Cuz i look at the phone, and i see little lines here and there. Its definitely, not me, I don't go purposely scratching the phone.

Overall, the phone is great. Cuz i am a music fan. Although the camera is not the greatest, but it satisfies MY every need.

nice looking phone but 2k for this? its a bit pricey dont u think.....dont know how many of these they are going to sell....i dont know which market they are targeting but i would say 1.5k would be a reasonable price to start.

But i could be wrong tho.....perhaps SE has die hard fans who would jump at the first opportunity to buy a flip walkman......

ok. i'm a w980 user. used abt 3weeks well. its a cool phone. music quality is superb and everything. sleek. however i'm gona change to N85 or e66 as the w980 is kinda prone to fingerprints. Well if u dont mind cleaning ur phone every day...then its the best looking phone out there. Lagging? nah, not realy...can still take it. Bugs? there shouldent be any as this is not a sophisticated phone. Its very cool. Get it if u want an appealing phone.

called SE malaysia, already available early October which is now but cant seem to find it anywhere......



got mine yesterday,

some quick questions for w980 users
-service/indicator led on the left side of phone no lid at all, what's it for anyway?
-low earpiece volume even though at maximum, anyway to increase it?

any w980 users here can clarify?

chidori. i dont know if its only me but the SO called "High end" Hpm-77 earphones arent really that good after all. well, it fits perfectly in my ear but the volume is some sort of soft. i suggest getting a pair SHure Scl2 or sennheiser earphones. its not the phone prob...the phone's music quality is superb...but the earphone.

congrats on ur new phone =D

I'd still prefer the W980i for it's software. Somehow SE's interface is just lovely to use, just that feature-wise and all maybe other brands may be better.

If you are talking about looks, the G400 anytime is better. But that doesn't mean the W980i doesn't look good too. The W980i compared looks awesome by itself as well. biggrin.gif

This phone is for the great music and the stylish design.
Now it's price at RM1.1K and I think it's reasonable compare to the new release price at RM2K last time.

w960= smartphone... has wifi..... cheaper..

I used both of these models b4...previously using w960i until i left it on a taxi ><. w960i is kinda nice too..but..its really really laggy. and its touch screen isn't that easy to use compared to iphone coz its not multitouch. w980i is stylish and cool however it doesnt have wifi and stuff and its not a smartphone. if you like music and planing not to bu an mp3...go for w980i as it's music quallity is superb... thats if you dont need wifi and stuff. =)

Is it worth getting it now? I mean SE phone's pricing always drop very fast and it really doesn't has a bottom line for it.
So, I feel that it's not worth to get a SE phone when they just launch it.

Just now went to Sony Centre for warranty my LCD have a chances to get hold the display unit.

It's really amazing , with the design and feel.
Sound quality is very good, crystal clear and better then the Apple Ipod.

Anyway, it very pricey and the drawback is no M2 card slot for expansion storage.

The Retails price is RM1888.

Thank you for your reply.
1 thing that is making the "struggling" between this 2 phone is the Camera.
W980 don't have flash and auto focus. Likewise, E71 have both...

Wat do u think?


Added on December 16, 2008, 11:43 pm1 more question to W980 user, is the keypad easy to type message?

w980i's keypad is easy and nice to press as well.

W980i = stylish + music lover + listen to true music not just sound (stylish street walker)
E71 = business + powerful connectivity + easy qwerty keyboard (businessman)

i think so..

i think only CSL can be considered as first tier AP company. Price will be only slightly lower than ori set.
the rest such as final choice, comsat, asia mobile, telstra are 2nd tier AP company.

For me, that's not consider a big problem since i'm using Samsung SGH E900 & sometimes got that situation

Blank for a while & then i slide it in, slide it back & the screen back to normal
If using W980i, try to open & close few times, might work i guess

I just bought it yesterday at Digital mall..I went to Lowyat before that but all shop out of stock..bleks..wan buy also kenot..
then I straight approached to Digital mall and get it..
I asked many shops at lowyat, the lowest price I can get was RM1050. Then I get it at RM1040 at Digital Mall.

Btw, can I know how is the sticker look like? (I mean behind 1, the place that you can see the Serial number all that.) Mine 1 is white colour 1, I worry that's China phone. =.=" Anyone bought this phone? Mine to take a photo of the back side then post it here? Just wan to compare... Thank you very much!

You should verify it from your warranty card
AFAIK, there's only 2 dealer for SE in Malaysia, Thorus & Midlands right?
Should try to look for that

Here it is...The sticker is white in colour.. I suspect because when I check the accessories..all stated made from China..then the sticker is something like this.. but I check the phone..didn't state Made In China this word but the sticker something like that..so I worried that's China phone.. unsure.gif

Then just used for 2 days..my gf said the phone's screen black for 2 times then back to normal..she said SE phone is like that 1..
I wan to ask..for AP phone..can we change 1 to 1 within 7 days if we find there is a problem? hmm.gif

Why don't you ask the shop 1st before you bought the phone?
Normally, shop's warranty can give you that

5- a minor bug...doesnt bother me much tho...the phone will auto unlock even tho the slider still in its lock position when i close the phone without ending a call....

6- vibrate kinda soft....hahahaha....does anyone knoe how can i increase it??lalalalala~~

what i can say about this phone: laugh.gif cool2.gif
this phone really cool....it is very class when u hold in hand...and if u looking for a walkman phone,this phone is the best within the walkman series because of more equalizer option... rclxms.gif
other than the vibrating alert got a bit soft brows.gif ,camera not so good and a bit laggy processing...im very satisfy this phone...would give 8/10 rating.... smile.gif

hmm. this looks like a nice phone. currently im using dopod 838pro. yea i know, nice keypad for smsing and touchscreen for browsing. now kinda bored of it already. browsing to look for a phone to buy. this one looks better than the 5800 Tube.
gonna sell dopod + topup some money for it. laugh.gif
been reading through and noticed some people are having difficulties and some defects with their model. is this a widespread problem?.

i asked almost the same ques but regarding sq on the 5800 thread

QUOTE
Isn't the W980i the flippy SE? Ur comparing apples to oranges here bro, smartphone vs stylephone... But i dare say sq from both are comparable, the 5800 wins speakerwise imho (it retains more detail), and in terms of inbox headphone sq, the hpm-77 that comes with th W980i wins easy... With better cans, the 5800 sounds a tad richer imho... And tcmean bro, thanks in advance for the scans...


in dilemma of choosing the 2 nw as well,but i thk i will go for the 5800

Nokia's the one who always give software updates for their phones, which is a good thing because it fixes bugs and sometimes adds in some new features as well. smile.gif

Guys, how's this phone performance when you want to do other thing while listening to the music i.e texting back message? Will it lag? I'm interested with this phone and plan to use it mainly to listen to music and doing basic calls, texting. Will pair it with BT headphone.

It is common to get interference with the FM transmitter
Even using normal radio OR MP3 also can get interference

Just got my w980 Midland set for only RM1099.

overall a classy phone with decent specs. FM transmitter a new feature for me,too bad it has to be close with the radio for good reception.

I'll go for W980i in terms of sound quality and design. Some more, P1i model is too old already. I rather get E71. nod.gif

May be because of the economic crisis, SE & other phones manufacturer want to let go their phones faster to gain profit and only that they can produce more new phones

Could be that or they realise that the phone sales isnt so good because of the price thus they lower it down smile.gif. Suppose to be the best walkman phone out there but less celebrated.

hey guys..
im a proud owner of w980 for about 2-3weeks now..
it gave me no problems the 1st few weeks..
after going thru thoroughly all the problems other users face.. was lookin if anyone faced the same problem as mine..

I dont get the reboot thingy when usin the Walkman function and it doesnt really lag either.. BUT

Sometimes, i CLOSE my phone.. the whole phone TURNS OFF.. which means i have to turn it back on, enter pin bla bla..

This can happen 5-6 times in a row, turn on, close phone, phone turns off.. then i turn on again, close fon, phone turned off.....

Annoyin she sh*t outta me man.. lol

I've asked around and someone said back-up the files, master reset or format the phone again. But before i try this, does anyone have any other suggestion?

For those who fail to update their firmwares thru SEUS, its most likely u have a invalid CDA number (usually happens to AP sets)...u can correct it by changing it with a software called A2 CDA file generator which is 100% free, and there is a thorough guide to do it!

To check ur CDA code, go to the service menu by pressing >*<<*<*, den go to service info>software info...scroll down and find CUSTIMIZATION, there u will see the codes. Mine is 12345678-1234(which is wrong) before this, now its corrected to 1201-0176

Using SEUS to update is more secure and u can get latest firmwares, which is quite impossible to find them elsewhere.

i've tried it and it works perfectly, and i think the risk involved is minimum...

here's the guide and download page:
guide : http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=36503

download : http://thaproxinator.co.uk/index.php?optio...csson&Itemid=57

Also here's the list of supported phones of the CDA file generator

The SEUS update problem mainly occurs to AP sets which have wrong CDA codes...this is the fastest and easiest way to fix it...

If u use services like davinci team who also can hack ur phone to change the CDA number or flash ur firmware, it will cost u money

Else if u send it back to ur AP company to reflash it, i think they'll oso charge u

I've read sumwhere about the the joint easily broken issue, it is something to worry about...But mine I feel it's quite sturdy.
BTW, the cam although it's not the best cam (no autofocus, not lanscape camera mode, limited options), but I only use my camera for some candid shot and they all turn out to be quite good, and the fun part? Geo-tagging~
And the track ID, it's uber cool, it really identifies any song from any source, I've tried TV, in the car, mp3 player with speaker, radio...anything.

Added on June 7, 2009, 9:16 pmOrite, some reminders, switch your network to GSM only to conserve your battery life, with 3G on I can only survive 2 days with 10 hours of music, 5 pics, 10-20 sms, 3 mms, 100% brightness.

After switching to GSM network, I manage to get double of that. Don't worry you can switch it back anytime when you need 3G (video call, faster internet surfing etc etc).

Laggy yes, but I don't "multitask" with W980 so, no problem for me...
Currently filled up to almost 6GB of rubbish (musics, photos, podcasts, videos) still, performance just like before... Just that start up takes abit longer.

Yes so have I, but the phone seems to be normal with the music on when u exit the media and let it play, by then i'll usually continue texting and browing the net with music on without any lagging issues...

normally for SE phones, when u play the walkman player and text sms simultaneuosly, it tends to lag a little. for older walkman phones ie SE W800i this doesnt happen.

Could the lag be because of the firmware problem?

Turning on the phone takes quite a long time :\

few amateur questions to ask u guys.

When I want to save those sms into my "Saved Messages" folder, it will automatically saved into my sim card memory. Because of that, it has a limit of number of saved messages only.

1) How can I save it into my 8GB dimm card instead? I cant find the option.

2) When I use PC Suite, I can create a new folder under PC Suite Archive (in Text Message column). Does this means it copied those saved messages into my pc? Because I cant seem to locate it back from my W980 phone alridi.

Hope to get more hints and tips from you guys. Thanks.

1 more thing, in my previous SE phone, there is a file manager icon for me to click. so that I can view and see my memory card easily. but I dont have this icon in this phone.

Hence, when i transfer songs into the Music folder, all the songs listing gone messy. Eg, I've included 50 songs in a folder called mp3. But when I launch the media, it was separated by Albums automatically or artists and arranged differently.

How come it does not recognize MP3 as an album and play all the songs inside?

if im not mistaken , the "saved messages" folder is meant for keeping messages that u want to store in your sim only.
the default usually will be saved into phone memory. dont need to find an option. its already a default. unless u wanna transfer it from phone to sim memory, then when u open the message, choose options and save message.

as for question 2 im not really sure as i dont use pc suite.

i dont think its possible to view items in memory card as the 8gb is built-in memory. so u wont have that option in the phone.

1) You can save your messages by accessing settings in the messaging menu.
2) I've never used PC suite to archive sms but I'm using myphonexplorer which is more advanced than PC suite, I recommend it
3) The file manager function is still there but it's no longer in the main menu. You can now find it under organizer
4) W980 is an advanced portable music device, that's why it categorically reorganizes your files according to the mp3's ID tags which, if you're an audiophile is Godsent. Which means if you have like 100's of albums like I do and would like to keep them organized accordingly, then this is a great phone for that, and album art would just be fun to have too. But if you still want your mp3s to be read in a single folder, select all the songs in your PC, right click to access properties, under advanced, type the folder name ie. "MP3" at the 'album' field and then transfer it to you phone. But all of your songs will show the artists' names from the album "MP3". Creating playlist is the best solution for you. I personally would sit down for hours with my PC editing the ID tags of downloaded mp3's and attach their album art just to organize and get the full Walkman experience Happy trying

This w980 is a great phone. But i encounter a problem with the design..

1. The outer lcd seem very fragile. I accidentally put my car key with the phone. The key press on the LCD and the LCD get spoiled.

2. The keypad two side got a round stuff which will crack the LCD screen housing if you pressed the phone.
