 Not the most durable phone ever made. June 13, 2008

I've had this phone for about 6 months. I don't consider myself to be particularly hard on my cell phones - yes, it gets thrown in my pocket, and dropped every once in a while - but despite the (relatively) light usage, this phone is showing some serious wear.
The slide function is getting decidedly... sticky. It still works, but it's not nearly as smooth as it was to begin with.
Also, 4 of the 12 keys are cracked in half. Again, they do still work... but I've never seen keys crack in half before. Am I really texting that fast and furiously?
Aside from the wear-and-tear issues, this is an okay little phone. Getting used to the ins-and-outs of the slide functionality takes a bit of learning (I was perpetually pocket-dialing for the first two months or so), but it works well after you get past the learning curve. I agree with other reviews that I have read elsewhere about the headphone set-up. It is totally silly, awkward, and very hard to use. Which, I suppose, is really a negative for a "Walkman" phone.
I bought this phone to tide me over 'til the 2nd gen iPhones came out, and it has served its purpose well. But make sure you get a good deal on it - it's not worth nearly the $400 retail price assigned to it.

OK, Nothing really fancy. I got it for my wife, she likes it. It has all the basic features and headphones sound good for the music. You need to get the micro card probably other $30 or so a 2gb.It has the basic bluetooth,camera and stuff. The picture resolution is pretty good. It does not have 3G thats a negative. Overall its a good phone, not for guys..It looks like a toy in my hand, but looks good in my wife's hand...

I just upgraded my Sony Ericsson W600i to the W580i. The sound and picture quality is much better and I get better reception but I lost two of my favorite features from the old phone. The W580i does not have a LED light and it will not play mp3 files as ringtones. I really miss having mp3 songs playing as my ringtone.

Many phones have many features that are completely pointless, not this one. From an MP3 player to password saver this phone has it all. It is very durable in fact I have dropped it on concrete many of times yet it doesn't have any dents or scratches. Calling is crystal clear and creating MMS is simple and fun. The way the phone slides is easy, I especially like that there is a kind of arch so you can move it upward with your finger easier. and I couldn't have asked for a better phone.
Love it! May 27, 2008

I love this phone! I have not had any problems with this phone as of yet (knock on wood). The only thing I could say I don't like about it, is that the battery dies too fast, Other than that it is great. I recommend it to everyone!!!
