What's Hot

Design, gesture control, touch-sensitive music controls, M2 card slot

What's Not

No 3G, no outstanding features, external display is hazy, mediocre camera

The Final Word

As long as you don’t require 3G connectivity, this is a fair entry-level handset with excellent music capabilities. There aren’t any real outstanding features but the W380i remains a solid performer.
