thanks for shedding 'light' on this 46mU. Time to disable the lights I guess. I expect the larger screen also sucks up more power as well. Overall a great phone - I ditched a Nokia N80 for this one and I don't regret it one bit!

@tyasz

buy the W580. its better than the S500. W580 is a Walkman phone, what more do you want :P

i dunno which one i should get...this one or s500i......since they're both similar but i really like the gray one.....w580i looks more sturdier than s500i.......but over here, w580i is a lot more expensive than s500.......i'm really torn.....any opinions?

the keypad can still be pressed after it cracked.but it may hurt and i am afraid it would interfere with the circuit board.
mine cracked but yet to send for repair,no time.still holding on,so can wait a little longer.

@moog; thats cause 580 has alot of lights that drain the batteries quickly..and the k790 is a camera type phone..

@ratedrko - thanks. it looks like a somewhat complicated process for a rookie cellphone mod/hack person like myself...hopefully it goes well

For people that have gotten their keypads replaced, do you have to send the phone in and who's responsible for postage?

How is everyone finding the battery life on the w580? With average use (a few 5 minute calls a day and texting) I appear to only get 4 days usage from one charge. With the k750i, I was getting through a week with the same amount of usage............

where might i be able to find the patch/program that allows mp3s to be used as ringtones (for rogers customers)?

@ratedrko - you mentioned you downloaded something from the se website, what file was this?

Does anyone know why Rogers added their own music player to the phone? It's a waste of space!

@Sarah

:)) Great to know, Sarah!
Just handle the keys with care:
don't press very hard and don't use your fingernails on the keypad ;)
Leave a small review for us here.
Cheers!! :)

I have had the W580i for 3 weeks now and i have 3 cracked keys on keypad. Numbers 2, 4 and 7. I took it back to the shop where they are waiting on more stock. After reading comments on here I am seriously considering returning phone before my 28 days are up. Other than that the mp3 on phone is fab.
