Sony Ericsson - W580i Cell Phone Reviews

I've loved this phone. I'll tell you why, then add the few cons I've encountered.

 Love:

FM Radio. This was important to me, so I can listen to music, or FM sports.

Walkman: I've loaded mp3s, wavs, wma, aac, you name it, this phone will play it.

Expandable storage: I've put a 4gb micro card in it. I don't think I'll ever use that much storage space. Make sure you get the micro version M. The regular micros won't work.

Video: Well, maybe I will use up the 4gb. I have used a freeware to convert home movies, public domain video, and YouTube videos to the Mpeg4 format. It's silly, but fun!

 Phone: Oh...

My daughter now says that she's "in style" with her new (Pink) Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman phone. It's a slim slider phone and it's loaded with music and multimedia features. She can listen to her music or tune in to the built-in FM radio. It takes crisp pictures with the 2MP camera, which you can add tons of neat special effects to. You can customize your caller ID with multi-color light effects. It features Memory Stick Micro expandable memory card slot to store more of your favorite songs (which we did because it was free with a full rebate) and photos. It even has cool new features such as...

I read what others have written in their reviews and all I can say is they don't have the same piece of junk that was sold to me.  Yes the features, such as 2 mega pixel camera, fm radio etc are great and the main reason I bought the phone, but everytime I try and use the phone it will go to the internet or the mp3 player right in the middle of dialing or texting.  You then have to start over.  It takes 2 or 3 tries everytime I try to text, to complete the text.  This phone may work if you have tiny fingers, or if your buying a phone and not planning on calling or texting anyone and just using...

Great phone. The price was a bit much .. but I outright bought it ... the applications are awesome .. still learning something new about my phone daily.

 The music part of the phone is awesome. I am loving it. Over all its a great phone ...

 The power button works .. you get to choose what profile you want your phone under (like the old nokias). It vibrates when you turn it back on so you know you've held it long enough. The back stays on .. .it comes off only when you try to take it off .. unless you drop it and send it flying across the room. The sim card . you need to use the cover or a bent...

I love this phone. It's small easy to use, lightweight, and if you buy a memory card for it...I promise you will never be sorry you bought the phone. I charge it once at night when I go to bed and pretty much use it all day and still have atleast half a battery left in it, when I hit the hay that night.

 I use this phone all the time, I've gone several days without charging it and it stands up well. I've dropped it several times, and it's stood up to the abuse with no dents or chips yet!!!

I have over 90 pics on the phone, 21 videos I've made ranging from 5-15 minutes in length. I've recorded...

Sony Walkman W 580I Cell phone. My daughter got this phone and loved the look. It's sleek, pocket sized, and attractive looking. The music player is easy to use, and sound great with the headphones it comes with. But those qualities cannot carry over to the poor quality this phone was made with.

 After having it only 3 weeks the keypads began cracking....and cracking... The colored lights that go off when the phone rings ceased to work. We called our service provider and complained about the keys and they sent out a new one. With in the week she had it the keys began cracking again! Also the...
