Camera

The W380’s integrated 1.3 megapixel camera may not be able to record video, but it has plenty of useful features: white balance, a few effects, burst mode, a 12-second self timer, and also a night mode. The quality is not too bad; it's okay for camera of this sort.

Battery
The battery life is quite average. You’ll able to squeeze out about 3.5 hours of nonstop talking, provided you turn off all the animated screensavers and icons that Sony Ericsson is famous for. Thankfully the light sensor helps to certain extent by dimming the display a bit and shutting of the keypad backlight when not needed. This way you’ll be able to get about a day and half of usage, which is quite good.

The Bottomline
With a price tag of just about Rs 7990 (and that includes a 512MB card), this great-looking phone doesn’t function like a dream, but has plenty of relevant features that work just fine. It has a certain feel-good factor and you CAN get used to the keypad and gesture control. I’d say this phone is going to be quite popular – it even comes in some truly funky colors.

rakesh kumar @ May 13, 2008
hahhaha... when i read the new SE phones link on November, I thought indeed it was a photoshop glitch that the phone's top edge got cut out...
srikanth @ May 13, 2008
This is for girls,
Buy a real good mob for the same cost, go for the old e50, u'll find it at nokia priority stores.
