I got my W580i (pink) for my birthday in February.  I like the looks of the phone, but feel it is a little light in my hand.  I aways feel like it's going to slide right onto the ground.  Although I do not text often, I do not like texting with it because, for me, the buttons are too small and too close together.  I was disappointed that I had to spend $50 (and I shopped around for that price) for a 2 gig M2 memory card.  This was a proprietary move on Sony's part.  I would much rather have enjoyed being able to use a $15 SD card instead, but no such luck, sayeth Sony!  Also disappointed that the white came with a memory card, but the pink did not! The instructions for adding music were so drawn out and confusing, that I haven't even bothered to do so, which is a big disappointment, since I spent all that money on that M2 memory card that I can't use in any other device!  Sigh, maybe one of these days, I'll just hand it to my 11 year old daughter--I'm sure she'll be able to figure it before I will!  I also miss having a camera button handy as on my old phone.  I don't like having to navigate through the menu to take a picture. You kinda miss all of the random shots that way!  Also, very poor decision to place the internet button on the bottom, right of the phone.  Numerous times, i have gone to open the slider and fund myself connecting to the web, which cost me money since I don't have a data plan!
