Sony Ericsson W380i Review
Sony Ericsson W380
23 April 2008
| Avg user rating:
Available in four vibrant colours, this clamshell is a tad heavier than it looks. And the shell feels a little plastic.
A 1.3-megapixel camera, built-in music player and FM radio. The W380 also boasts the novel gesture control, PlayNow and TrackID.
The W380 sticks to the usual Sony Ericsson formula, with a simple hold of the back button returning you to the main screen. The gesture control works with a simple swipe of the hand above the motion sensor.
The 1.9-inch screen is a little small, especially in camera mode when the image is battling for space with menu icons. The music qualities are as expected, exemplary.
The W380 offers a commendable battery life with 420 minutes' talktime and 300 hours' standby.
Pros: The OLED external screen gives the W380 a novel factor as does the Gesture control feature.
Cons: The 1.9-inch screen is too miserly, particularly in camera mode when the image is jostling for space with other icons.

Verdict: The W380 is sure to appeal to a younger audience, with a host of appealing gimmicks such as Gesture control and the OLED external screen. Early adopters however, may find the handset to be a little lacking.
