Being a Walkman phone, music playback skills are the Sony Ericsson W880i’s forte. Endowed with an upgraded Walkman media player v2.0, the Sony Ericsson W880i produces the best of sound. Apart from regular Walkman features like Mega Bass, equalizer and playlist support, the upgraded Walkman player features Track ID – a unique feature that provides you with desired information about songs and artists on demand.
