Sony Ericsson W380i

This month, I am on gadget craze.

After owning a Sony Cybershot DSC-T2, I have gotten myself another half Sony device.


Sony Ericsson W380i

I was looking for a square clamshell phone similar to what Shun Oguri used in Hana Yori Dango.

I have fetish for white gadgets...

The Japanese dramas and animes are always showing hot guys and hot girls using those square clamshell phones. Chamshell phones make them more chic. Unfortunately they only release these beautiful babies to Japan only. The above phone is actually one of the phones by Sony Ericsson. I am tired of bar phones! They are too plain and not chic enough for me.

So the closest I can get is W380.


Unfortunately W380 does not come in white

It is rather disappointing because W380 only comes in purple, black and grey.

The phone is quite thin, with flat keypads. The screen is rather small and it comes with a mediocre 1.3 megapixel camera.



Despite it's mediocre feature, I am really satisfied with the overall performance and design.

What matters more, now I can flip my gadget in public.

Man, I feel so stylish.
