PRODUCT INFORMATION:

Your music the way you want it

Sony’s high-profile walkman phone is back in business with the newest incarnation that brings new features to an already feature-packed phone. This model eschews the typical bulky phone design that the other models have and utilizes an all black color scheme.

This is the first phone to feature 8 gigs of storage space which is a must for multimedia phones that double as portable mp3 players. With all this space to store music you’re going to want lots of things to do with it besides listen to it by yourself. This walkman emphasizes the importance of sharing and has lots of ways to go about it. First of all, through the FM transmitter you can blast your W980’s music through another device that has a built-in FM radio receiver.

Another way of building up an impressive collection of sounds would be to utilize the PlayNow software and download songs at your whim. With this download service you have over 5 million tracks to download at your desire. Eight equalizer presets make sure that the songs you are listening to are heard in the greatest quality possible.

Sony has really thought of everything when they made this phone, and as a final bonus, the Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77 headset is included with the package. This headset allows you to listen to your music in stereo sound with an emphasis on the highs and lows.
