The Sony Ericsson W980 is a clamshell mobile phone that was announced on 10 February 2008.[1] It was their flagship Walkman device at the time. The W980 is packed with many features, including 8-gigabytes of flash memory, HSDPA and a built-in FM transmitter (one of the very earliest on the market).[2] The exterior of the clamshell features physical playback controls and an external touch screen illuminated with orange lights which will flash to the rhythm of the music being played. The phone has a 3.2 megapixel rear camera.[3] Picture DJ allows on-device image editing, automatic enhancement and rotation of photos. A front facing camera enables video calling.[2]
