Sony Ericsson W480i in Black ChampagneIn case you like the Sony Ericsson W380i, but don’t dig the existing color options — “Electric Purple” and “Magnetic Grey” — the Swedish-Japanese handset maker prepared the clamshell device in additional color. Sony Ericsson keeps using “esotheric names,” hence the W380i is now also available in “Black Champagne” – as opposed to just “black.”

Anyway, we’re not sure where you’ll be able to grab it in the new color nor when. Again, handset makers aren’t telling us about the new color options — it’s you (our readers) who tip us about it. Thank you for that! ;)

    just bought the purple and the new black…. cant wait to get it. i’ii let everyone know if they are cool or not. i heard that they feel cheap on the out side. i have all the colors of the s500i and they are very cheap feeling in your hands but DAMN!!! the phones are beautiful and they got awsome features. im sure that the w380 will be the same but the black looks like it could be alot less cheaper lokking on the out side. the only downside is no video recorder.

    it was a great & excelent phone..great job SE!!!eventhough there is better walkman phone that has an application such as video,autofocus&flash, this phone was made for those who didn’t have enough money to buy..eventhough this phone have lack of application such as video,autofocus&flash, this phone was made for walkman..the point is walkman only not on camera or anything else..

    i think you guys are missing the point…
    high end phones are expensive…parts for high end phones are expensive
    what more can you add to a low end phone without raising it’s price? well…not much
    and if i’m right…about 70% of the sold phones are low end…normal people don’t need a phone that’s complicated to use,they just need a phone to talk…so why spend money on something that’s not usefull to them?
    ======== and now…let’s face the facts…
    s.e. are cloning themselves??(whell…I’m not gonna lie…they are)…and to the guy with too many parts made 2 years ago…i think you are right
    motorola??think again…each released phone has a less or more expensive brother(that has almost the same functions,and the same s**tty menu),or 2,or 3…maby even more…”V3″ line for instance…damn me if i can remember how many
    nokia…might say same s**t…different phone…design??yeah right…that department is dead for ages
    samsung??you gotta be joking…they release a lot of phones…
    and when i look…those damn phones have the same stupid functions…just different design
    lg??i think this company would have been better if they stayed at makin’ plasma tv’s,and house items (they probably think how to
    build a fridge in a phone … actually that would be a damn good ideea actually … cold beer in your phone :D )
    ========other brands?? in my country other brands are a rarity…so i’m not gonna act smart by talking about phones i havn’t used
    let’s face it…no corporation can make a good phone with cheap parts…all low end phones are rubbish,that’s why high end phones are expensive…and high end phones are rubbish too(with a few exceptions)
