The Sony Ericsson W980i also has a built-in FM transmitter, which allows you to send whatever’s playing on your phone to other devices with a built-in FM radio receiver. You can store up to 8,000 songs on the W980i. With the recent evolution of PlayNow arena, from May 2008 you will be able to access up to 5 million tracks to maximise your music collection.
