Nice Phone February 21, 2008

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...
Great But I Wish I Had Better Service May 17, 2008

I've had this phone for about a month. It seems sturdy. Getting the battery cover on/off was a HUGE pain but at least I feel confident that it's not going to pop off in my pocket. The screen is bright and shiny and it'll hold a charge for days if you aren't listening to music or surfing the internet excessively. The size is perfect for carrying around in your pocket. The call quality is great, if you have more than two bars, and the speaker phone is nice and loud. It's easy to customize with themes and ringtones and best of all, it plays well with Mac.
Mobile Email: There's no audio indicator to let you know you have received mail. The screen flashes to let you know an email has come thru but there's no sound or icon displayed on the main screen to let you know a message is waiting. Also, the Mobile Email app does not allow attachments so you must use MMS to send photos.
Media Net: It's usually very fast to load but does not allow you to set your own homepage. You HAVE to load the Media Net page first before going to your bookmarks.
Camera: For a mobile phone, the photos are pretty good. There is an option to change the size (VGA, 1MP and 2MP) and the white balance. There's also a very cool panorama setting. There is no flash but the night mode is decent.
Messaging: I LOVE being able to send voice text messages. It's incredibly useful when you're on the go and don't have time to click-click-click just to type one letter. (I've only ever used QWERTY keypads so the click-click-clicking is annoying to me.)
Address Book: To avoid all the typing, I just dragged and dropped my contacts from my desktop address book to the phone's address book via Bluetooth (on Mac OS X).
Organizer: A lot of great features (alarms, fitness stuff, tasks, notes, calendar, timer, stopwatch, etc.) but I do wish there was an easy way to sync it with iCal. It would save me a ton of time.
Music: The radio is great. The MP3 player is great. I love being able to shuffle songs with a flick of my wrist... and being able to listen without having my headphones plugged in.
Games: I haven't explored this yet.
Memory Card: It uses an M2 card which I found easily at Best Buy for $20 (2GB).
My only big complaint has to do with AT&T. I can't even begin to count the number of dropped calls I've had. I was on T-Mobile before this and never experienced a dropped call. Also, the signal strength is sporadic. I've literally seen the bars go from red (no signal) to three blue bars and back again in a matter of seconds with the phone in a stationary position. It's bizarre. Also, I have to go outside to talk because the signal is terrible in my house. According to AT&T's coverage map, I'm considered to be in one of the "best" coverage areas... and yet the best I can get is three bars OUTSIDE.
missing features of old versions April 30, 2008

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.
 Great phone! Sleek,Stylish,Cool, and useful July 21, 2008

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!!!
