Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman (AT&T)

I personally own the pink W580i AT&T edition.

The Good:

It's great! It automatically locks when you slide it shut, which is a huge problem on other slider phones because if you have it in your purse or pocket, you end up accidentally dialing people. The call clarity is crystal clear, the display is fabulous and the colors are a perfect accessory to anyone's personality...or outfit! There are plenty of add-ons you can purchase such as a wide assortment of games, wallpapers, themes and applications (including Gmail and eBay!). It runs very efficiently and I haven't had it lock up on me yet. Also pictures are absolutely beautiful on it's 2 MB camera! Very professional looking and not as washed out looking as most phones you see on the market.

Here is some of the bad...or not so bad but could be improved:

The number keys are very small (it's fine for me because I have small fingers, but for those of you that don't I can definitely see it being a problem); the internet is not 3G so it's not as fast as it could be (though definitely not what I'd call slow); the back battery case is very hard to get on and off; the phone only lasts for about a day and a half on a full charge, even if you don't talk on it; it also doesn't come with a memory card (unless you buy the white one) and the memory card is not the usual mini-SD which is relatively cheap and you can buy almost anywhere, instead it's an M2 which is more expensive and harder to find.

Overall:

This is an absolutely perfect multimedia phone. It handles everything from e-mail (including SMTP and Pop3 accounts), IMs, messaging, radio, mp3s, games and more. The camera is great for just about anything on the run and it fits perfectly in your pocket or purse. Plus it's absolutely adorable (if you have the pink one) and/or is a great little phone (if you have the other colors). Don't let it's smallness fool you, it's really powerful and well put together!

I was fairly impressed with the quality of this phone. Sony Ericson always seems to have a few cool features up their sleeves, although the over all durability seems rather fragile. From the engineering of the chargers to the phone itself, i always feel as if i might accidently break something while preforming simple tasks like inserting the charger or making a call. anyhow bang for buck its rather decent.

i personally have the white sony ericson. it is a nice phone and very easy to use once you get used to it. i haven't had a problem with the size of the keys, but if you are a constant texter like i am the keys split fairly easy. i haven't had any other problems with it. the music player is good quality and the headphones are normally included with the purchase. i love the lock on it! it locks when you shut the phone except if you have a screen besides the main screen.!

I love the shape and size and functions BUT if you drop it the screen will not work anymore. I've pieced mine back together a few times so its easy to do just be carefull.

This phone does it all and all things well! The music player is the best with
great sound quality - better than any other phone currently available. The phone gets good reception even in poor areas near me. The fm radio is a nice addition -- my youngest daughter enjoys this feature. The phone is easy to use and all screens and features are user adjustable. Personally, my only complaint is that the buttons are a little small for me - But my family loves this phone. I now have 4 of these phones -- That says a lot!!

i actually have the white one and couldn't be happier with it came with the memory chip and i love being able to download my favorite cd's on it to take were ever i go,i also love the pedometer that measures my steps and tells me how many miles i have walked,expecialy since i walk alot at work.
and the picture quality is amazing also.i would definetely recommend this phone,as a matter of fact three of my co-workers went down and got them one the next day.if you want a phone that is high quality for a reasonable price
i would recommend the walkman.

Many of its features make this Phone an excellent choice for any member of the family. The slider works great for hiding the keypad. The menue is very easy to navigate through. whatever your need is this may be the phone you.

This phone is great. The functions work seamlessly. Has an FM radio that can tune into your local radio stations(Unfortunately, there's no AM dial.) With the walkman feature you can store all your favorite music and searching and playing music is an ease. The only music phone that can best this one is the Iphone.

My only problems with the phone is the fact that in order to use the FM radio feature you need to purchase special headphones that act as a an antenna. Mind you, these headphones are th only way to listen to your music without the speaker option because you can't simply plug in any headphones into the phone. There is no headphone jack.

The other problem is the memory. Buying a SD card is so utterly necessary that they should just pack it with the phone and raise the price slightly. Without the card you won't be able to store much if any music on the actual memory on the phone.

The price of these things can add up the phone to well over 200 dollars. But once you have them the phone is great! A well made phone by Sony!

This is a decent phone, has good software and looks good. The walkman works fine annd the capability of changing a song with a shake is goood

I Love my phone. My experience with the seller was great. Fast shipping inside the US and Item was well packaged. This phone works great for a quick change of phones. Love it.

I don't have in-depth experience about this phone since it is just a back up of my iPhone. Overall, it is a Sony product, you can just feel it. The menu is rather easy to nevigate and the screen is bright and easy to see under any light condition. The biggest feature of this phone is music player and unfortunately I am not using it. If price is right, this is a great buy.

The phone description was spot-on. The seller said it was brand new and it was. He was very helpful and ans his emassage promptly. Satisfied

I like the phone. It does all it is supposed to do, and so far I am very pleased with it. It is very light and the features are not hard to access or understand. The only thing that I am not thrilled about is the lack of variety of ringtones that you can choose from. But other than that it is a really cool phone.

My sony ericsson has turned out to be a good buy! The screen clarity is suprisingly good. I need to invest in a better memory chip and a media package though. Overall i dont regret one cent of what i put into it!

I LOVE THE COLOR........................................................................................................................................................................................

Love the phone-- easy to use features, great sound, pretty good camera (although no flash).. my only complaint is that the keypad is a bit tiny and the buttons are very close together.. this makes text messaging a little difficult-- so if you're a big texter, I'd be wary of this model.

I LOVE MY W580I FROM SONY ERICSON. IT IS A WALKMAN PHONE SO YOU JUST LOAD UP ALL YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC AND YOUR GOOD TO GO. DEDICATE PLAY BUTTONS ON THE FRONT OF THE PHONE MAKE CONTROLING THE MP3 FUNCTIONS A BREEZE, ITS ALSO GOT A MEMORY CARD SLOT FOR M2 CARDS. YOU CAN GO UP TO 8 GIGABYTES WHIC WILL HOLD A COUPLE THOUSAND MP3'S! AS A PHONE IT PERFOMS AS WELL AS ANY NOKIA OR MOTOROLA IVE HAD IN THE PAST. SIGNAL QUALITY IS EXCELENT. THE VOICE QUALITY IS ALSO TERRIFIC. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE MUSIC PHONE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER THE THE SONY ERICSON W580I.

The buttons cracked and then some of the buttons came off. not to mention when I plugged the usb cable up, which I have done numerous times it died and never worked again.

Good phone with a great assortment of features. I would recommend this phone. This phone has way more features then I have or will ever use. I like the Bluetooth, speaker phone, battery life, and screen. The earpiece is good enough and is clear in a quite room; a little hard to hear with loud background (I don’t have the best hearing so that might have something to do with it). Your can be heard loud and clear on the other end. (After 4 months of use)

The great:
• The battery life is good however not as good as they advertise.
• The reception is better than others I have tried.
• Nice loud ringer
• Great if you are looking for a phone with a good assortment of features

Not so great:
• Sony Ericsson memory card
• Phone locking feature is not good (have made too many pocket calls)
• Takes longer than usual to get use to how the menus & features are set up

This phone is awesome- so much so that it was stolen-get insurance if you get the newer sony ericsson phone.
The buy one-get one free deal is running at At&T June2008
You can sale the extra phone on ebay and recapture most of the phones expense-

The phone was real nice, works great, but the only problem is that the battery charger doesn't work. Seller was a great communicator. Thanks

the description and specs on page states clearly a w580i as mentioned in your title. the phone actually sold was a w200i it is inferior in every way. no bluetooth, no slider, which the w580i has, i would not recommend it to anyone.

There was only one problem with the phone, sometimes it says insert smartchip. otherwise it is good

This phone is excellent but I just don't get use to use the small keypad, it's not easy to touch. Except that, the music is so good. I still recommend people to buy this phone :)

The product was as described on the site. Fast delivery. Product works great. I would buy from this seller again.
