 The Sony Ericsson W980 has just been awarded with the EISA award for Best European Music Phone. EISA is an assiocation of 50 special interest magazines from a total of 19 countries - each year they select an array of EISA award winners in lots of different categories, and this year, the Sony Ericsson W980 won as the best music phone. Here's the official EISA comment; "Who could resist this piano-black Walkman-series phone? It’s a quad-band handset loaded with 8 GB of internal memory, a 3.2 Megapixel camera, an FM tuner, Bluetooth stereo, and a music player that operates even with the phone flip-lid closed. Opened out, the handset reveals its 2.2-inch QVGA display with 262k colors and stunning picture quality. One incredibly valuable innovation is the built-in FM radio transmitter. This broadcasts phone-based music playback to a standard car radio, even transferring artist and track details via RDS. The music player handles a wide variety of audio file formats, and automatically sorts tracks according to a range of criteria. Finally, two excellent features are the SenseMe and Shake control. These group tracks by mood, enabling track changes and entire playlist shuffling with just a simple flick of the hand." Although it doesn't say much about the audio quality, the W980 is a monster when it comes to audio quality. This has been proven by German TESTfactory, and I can do nothing but agree. The audio quality really is top notch. Congrats, SE!  -------------------- You can visit my website here, if you want. |

It's won something else hasn't it?
Some sort of award related more specifically to sound quality, has it not? |

even though this is SEs best effort so far, it still doesn't compare to the better efforts from motorola, samsung, and nokia.
besides, these 'awards' are worth nothing. they're about as telling as the BAFTAs -------------------- Best viewed with
 on a Linux PC, where you will be able to see naked pics of Kim Kardashian in my sig in the area below. If you're using Internet Explorer and/or Windoze, you will just see a blank area. Get yourself a decent browser and OS to enjoy the sights.If you're wondering who that lovely lady is in my avatar, you'll be pleased to discover that it is NOT me. It is, in fact, her. Besides, I'm a male. |
