Sony Ericsson W580 User Reviews

I have been using sony ericsson phones for the last 3 years and have always been really pleased with the quality of the phone. When I went to get my new phone I was assured that the W580 had all the features on my current phone (W810i) I was drawn in by the slim design and flashing lights Possibly one of the prettiest sony ericssons out.

However I soon realised that this phone was not as good as I had believed. The camara has very poor quality and the zoom function doesn't work adequately. The keys have all cracked within a month and though this does not inhibit the use it was not what i expected to happen over a month. The shake function requires more effort than simply pressing a button as after a couple of weeks I had to violently shake it to get it to change, this also mean that the fitness program wasn't acurate.

all in all i am very disapointed ith this phone and can't wait until christmas

This phone hands down is the best ive seen or owned very addicting featurs, steller music player worth every penny! i did have to send one back beacause the keys crackedNote it didnet effect anything "hair linr cracks" but gave the company heads up and got a new one in 3-7 days, seems that they have fixed the issu the keys seem more stable, dont let a small manufactuer hold you back on this one, im sure corprate addresed and fixed the problem.

"best phone ever" better than black berry perl and outhers!!

phones owned

start with a - Nokia3200, Nokia s210 BRICK, KAROSERIA, SEz500a, Motorola L7 sliver, black berry, then my gf has black berry perl,

current is W580.

I got this phone for my wife and so far, this phones kicks the competition all over.. I also want a slider, but because of the lack of good quality options from other brands, I think now that this baby comes in BLACK, I may end up getting it for my self..

No idea whats the deal with the cracked keys, we have had hours for around 45 days or so, and nothing has cracked on it.. So far, this baby has been the best we have ever had..

This little beauty here had lit up my life. I wasn't sure of picking this phone due to the faulty keypad but in the end i still pick it. This phone has great music interface with MegaBass which amplify bass!!! ItS a huge difference compare to manually raising the bass to max... Another thing to take note of is its design. Its beautiful and slim!!! Not to mention the dazzling side light effect. The faulty keypad happened to me but you can still press it so i can suck it up. OVERALL!!! GREAT PHONE!!

This is one of the best phone I got in my life. I have a k550 before i got this beauty here, and the difference is huge.

Pros of w580
-Great Design
-Not your stereotypical soap bar slider phone (the curve at the base enhanced its design)
-Geat speaker (much clearer and louder than k550)
-No joystick
-Free 512MB card
-A headphone with a changable 3.5mm audio jack (or is it??? i am not sure myself, but I do know that you can change)
-High resolution screen
-Dazzling side-light that changes along with the color of the theme
-Bright and colourful screen (can be seen clearly in broad daylight under the sun)
-Signal is really good!!

Cons of w580
-Slider is not that firm
-Weak paint that comes of in 2 weeks time
-Same old interface of Sony Ericsson
-Same old Walkman 2.0 which w850, w660, w610 has.
-Cracked keypad (it will happen, regardless of your batch)

This is all I have to say about this great phone. I am glad to have pick this phone despite of the cracked keypad. TWO thumbs up!

This phone is by far the best phone I have had do far. It does everything we want and more.. And even though this baby does not have 3G, the reception on this phone is so good that is like been on Verizon as for Call quality. This phone probes the point that you can have a good or bar carrier, but as long as you have an outstanding phone to go with it, it does not make a difference if you carrier is just OK or not..

I have heard issues with the keys braking, but we have had ours for over 35 days and nor problems at all..

I've had this phone for 2 months now and some of the keys are begining to crack in half. I do text often (about 150 a month) and I feel dissapointment with sony. I've had other phones and they've last me years. I signed a 3 year contract and now i'm stuck with this phone. it's a great mp3 player phone but sucks as a text messaging phone. I even called sony ericsson and they said that they "can't do anything" and basically its your loss. I understand have the warranty for the phone but 2 mnths into a contract out of 36 and the phone is already broken. I even taked to the manager and she was even more rude than the first guy!

Conclusion: If you text at all, or dial numbers instead of storing them in your phone, get something else!

I just got this phone, and it is probably the best phone i have ever got. It's thin, it has everything you would look for in a phone, and i like that it lights up on the sides. The volume for the music is also amazing, it's like you have a mini boombox in your pocket!

Everything is good except battery life is not as good as mentioned in the spec. i need to change my phone almost every 2 days.
No group contact ringtone and picture feature is a down side of this phone as compare to Nokia.

I got this phone,the sound quality really great.But just not satisfied with the walkman version.W910i looks more rugged.Any body can tell me,whether the walkman version can upgrade or not.I hope SE will do so!hahaha

This phone has to be one of the best I've ever had. Great reception, excellent design, and cool extras. Compared to the S500i, I would go for this one. It has a lot more features (although I do miss the changing wallpaper) than the S500, such as TrackID and a Walkman 2.0 player. The button layout could have been improved though. But they are very tactile and easy to press.

Beautiful phone. no complaints about it at all. The blend of orange and white goes so well together. The screen is so CLEAR!!, and u can even see and watch videos sideways. It was worth every penny i spent on it.

is the best experience i have with fitneess, good sound, improve batteery life, good walkman player, good applications and sofware, good slider and good reception with edge putting in comunication data gprs and gsm

no good battery life but charge in one complete day and it will improbe, good slider phone, good sound and light efects try the sonyericsson update service and update your phone it improbe i dont have problems with it but the baterry life you have to charge it becuse it is new and put in settings conectivity, data comunication prefere service and select gprs and gsm or pc or cs it depends on your model. i put a lees screen light and improves to in battery life

this phone looks really great and 'in'. But i think that the so called fitness program is not useful. it is good that SE finally used a bettter screen, but generally, not too many suprises.

This phone looks great but on paper it seems like a step back in comparison to the 850. sliders like the samsung d807 is comparable and that was released a year ago. doubtful to see... if sold through a carrier... this is something that t-mobile would definitely pick up.

Just regular features nothing special in this phone signle quality is very low.also battery life is not as good as mentioned in the specification.No wi-fi which is negative point to this phone.
