Sony Ericsson W580 - user opinions and reviews

Sony Ericsson

It's not gonna be $350 CDN; the S500 isn't even 350; it's more here.
But I asked a SE rep about the keypad issue and they said they'd either replace the phone or the keypad (they didn't specify) free of charge, so I doubt it would even be a big problem if u got a broken keypad or not.
But also, when I asked the SE rep, he mentioned that the phone would be released at the end of the month.

At mobile-review.com they say that the same keypad problem may happen to w580 since they're basically the same phone.

taken from there:

"There is a unique feature to the key design in the S500i – all buttons here are pieces of plastic tacked on a slab. So if you get heavy on the keypad, it might get covered with cracks or splits on the keys. This is a construction-related issue characteristic of all handsets, both the Sony Ericsson S500i, and the Sony Ericsson W580i. This defect even might not manifest itself at all or show up in a couple of weeks. It all boils down to how often you text, how big your hands are and so on. At present all we can recommend is call at the nearest service centre for keypad replacement, there is no alternative way-out. The maker is looking into this problem, but hasn’t received substantial number of returns and doesn’t see this issue as a production or design flaw, the only thing he does mention is that this isn’t a mass defect."

There is no way that this phone is under CAD300

A very similar phone - S500, costs HKD2500 which is around CAD340

I would say W580 launches at around HKD2800-HKD3000 (CAD380-CAD400)

I think rogers has it, maybe you can get it with a lower price with some contract conditions

340 Euro???? No way!! It is not even a 3G phone. :( Hope it is not the right price. I think that somewhere between 250 and 280 would be fair for a w580i.

This is for everybody that wants to know when the phone will be available in the U.S.A!

Somebody wrote that it will be available for vodafone on july 24th then that means that this phone should be out in the US any day now (14 days tops)since it will be made available in the US first. Here's the link..
