Sony Ericsson W580 review: Stay fit and entertained - read the full textFinally, the Sony Ericsson W580 arrived at our test site – a music phone featuring a slim sliding construction, light effects and a pedometer to fulfill all your daily music and sports needs. The handset comes complete with a 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth...

 

...I've only had this phone for almost a month now..and three my of keys are broken in half...but its still a good phone...
If you like taking pictures and actually would like them to come out nicely...well dont be hopeful because the camera is not recommended.....the music is great..i love it...its quite useful...and the "shake" system is Awesome...my friends are amazed with it....The video is not that bad....i like it......the colors .....Its very cute ....every once in awhile the buttons will be blue and in another minute it'll be pink....it has personality...

Had this phone for 3 months, at first i thought it was a brilliant slim and tidy slide phone, but shortly after 3 months the calls and return buttons just stopped working, i have taken it back where they are repairing it for me at the mo but they also tell me its a common problem for the left side keys to stop working...

Nice phone but the changing the sim card is just a pain and itis really understated in this review. I tried to use tweezer, screwdriver, and even the customer service where I bought it couldn't take the sim card out.

Seems like u GSMARENA guys missed something in this phone.
U didnt review the Shake Control technology.I think its a very new technology and was eager to see its reviews I saw Nintento Wii with similar motion Controllers.

...have played since it came out here in Canada which by chance was like the first place to get it, like it a lot, yet I have noticed that some ppl have broken keys, can't say the one I used to use had the same issue, I dropped it like 4 times, bad falls, yet the phone kept on working, I used the locked version to Rogers so some features are disabled, issues with the slider are as normal as with other slides in my own view or experience, still as I always recommend, wait for a couple of months before jumping into a newly released phone.

about there is no NOTIFICATION OF MISSED EVENTS...

the review team meant that there is no notification when the display is in sleep mode i.e. when in the clock is displaying ( screensaver )....there wont be an icon of a missed call or an unread message..!

but ofcourse if u activate the display it will show u missed events!!

shouldnt came into the disads list i think :S

I rather buy the nokia 5300 than this one it is cheaper and you can get the sound quality that you want when you buy a good Earbuds... Or i will buy the Nokia 5700 Express music it comes in a right price and a dedicated Sound Chip with all the functions that you needed. Better check it out (Nokia 5700)

Great review! Is such a cool device and very thin too!

Loving the light effects, the Walkman Player 2.0, shake feature, FM radio, sport applications... EVERYTHING!
