The top 10 animated themes for the W880i

The Sony Ericsson W880i is one of the best looking phones around and thanks to its Flash Lite capability it can host some excellent animated themes as well.

We've gone out to the various theme websites - and there are quite a few - to come up with our top 10 animated themes for your Sony Ericsson W880i.

Incidentally, Sony Ericsson is one of the more enlightened mobile phone makers when it comes to themes - can you hear me Motorola and LG??! - and it comes as no surprise that several of the best animated themes come from the company's in-house designers.

Note: all these themes are free to download although some sites require registration. For information on how to install themes on the W880i read this article.

1. Citybeat
This was created by Sony Ericsson and is possibly the coolest theme ever for the W880i. Fantastic visuals and a lovely rumble response when you select a function. Nice.
Download City Beat theme

2. The Matrix
Almost 10 years after the sci-fi blockbuster was released and still those neon green falling bits and bytes maintain their power to thrill. Who cares if they used Nokias in the movie?

3. Skeleton
It's a bit of a one trick bony (geddit!) but this walking skeleton makes us chuckle because it's so well animated. 'Dem bones, dem bones...'
Download skeleton theme

4. Musaic
Another one of the original Sony Ericsson W880i themes - curses on the pesky mobile phone operators that remove them! - Musaic also features the active wallpaper feature that lets you know what track is currently playing on the Wakman media player. Handy.

5. Light Flow
A simple blue flame on a dark background. Subtle but strangely mesmeric.
Download Light Flow theme

6. Perfect Ass
Nothing subtle about this but we felt obliged to include it as an example of what you can have shaking its booty on your W880i. If you don't mind 90% of all women you meet taking an instant dislike to you...
Download Perfect Ass

7. Walkman Animated
Another cracking animated flash theme cooked up by the Sony Ericsson boffins specifically for your W880i.

8. Roamin' Eyes
Years ago there used to be a little desktop application for the Mac where a pair of eyes followed your cursor around the screen. That was slightly creepy and so is this - but in a fun way.
Download Roamin' Eyes theme

9. Clouds
Simple, side scrolling clouds with vibrant colours. Puts a summer smile on your face for some reason.
Download Clouds theme

10. Flare
Another abstract animated theme - this flare does exactly what you'd expect. The dark colour background helps keep all the important text and icons easily legible.
