Amazon.com Product Description
Sony Ericsson shakes things up with its new quad-band W580i Walkman phone, introducing an innovative "shake to shuffle" feature that randomly chooses another song stored on your phone with just a flick of the wrist. This thin, slider-style phone also features a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, fast Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR connectivity with music streaming, Memory Stick Micro expansion, Web browser for viewing full Internet sites, email access, an FM radio with RDS, and EDGE data support. 
The slim slider W580i measures just 0.55 inches thin and features a brightly colorful QVGA screen, external music keys, and a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder. | 
With AT&T's Mobile Music service, you can access your Napster subscription service for music downloads to keep you booming out the tunes for up to 20 hours. | AT&T Service
The W580i operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks and can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution"), with availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. This third-generation, high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service lets you do more than just stream videos--it enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. It also features AT&T Mobile Music, which provides access to the Napster subscription music service in addition to Music ID song-recognition software, music videos and The Buzz music news portal. (A MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.) Phone Features
The W580i Walkman phone offers a full-function digital audio player that's compatible with MP3 and AAC files. The front of this slider phone includes dedicated music control buttons, and it includes Sony Ericsson's innovative "shake to shuffle" feature. With Shake control activated, press and hold the Walkman key and flick your wrist. A vibration lets you know that the track has been changed--a new song from your current playlist is randomly selected and automatically played. With the TrackID service, you can identify any song that you can hear by just recording a snippet of sound using the microphone. After sending the file for recognition, you'll have the name, artist and album sent to your phone. Other Walkman features include MegaBass enhancement for added depth of sound, a flight mode that lets you keep listening to tunes with the phone's network connectivity turned off, and Disc2Phone software for easy transfer of song files between phone and PC. It also includes a built-in FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations). This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity with EDR (enhanced data rate), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server. The built-in 2.0 megapixel camera captures stills and video--and playback of video or still pictures is only limited to the memory card size. Picture effects and custom screensavers, backgrounds, and themes can be setup to fit your personality. It provides support for PictBridge technology so you can print your photos without the need of a PC (either using USB or Bluetooth). And the W580i makes it easy to send snapped photos directly to a blog or an online photo, complete with text. This phone is also compatible with RTSP/3GPP streaming video playback You can even take your favorite tracks to the track with the W580i, which will count your steps, your calories and monitor your running speed/distance/time with the integrated motion sensor. Your workout results are stored in your phone so you can monitor your progress. The phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3 and IMAP4 protocols, while the included Access NetFront Web Browser allows you to surf full HTML web sites. It also supports RSS feeds, allowing you to use your phone to view up-to-the-minute news and other content from selected Web sites and blogs. Just subscribe to the feed and let it come to you. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics and sound via messages. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard. This means the phone can be used with the included Sony Ericsson Sync Station software, which lets you synchronize your Microsoft Outlook calendar, contacts, notes and tasks on your PC with the phone. Other features include: - 2-inch LCD with a 240 x 320-pixel resolution and support for 262K colors

 So far so good April 28, 2008
I have been using this phone for over 2 months and still like it. I only have two minor complaints with it. First, sometimes when removing it from the holder, the lock keys can both be pressed, unlocking the phone, so when the normal action of pressing the answer key, it actually ends the call. The other is back ground noise. On the plus side, the mp3 player and head phones are great, and the pictures from the camera look good. Very nice phone for under $50.
 Nice phone, but data hog... April 27, 2008
Really like the phone! But... you really need an unlimited data package (which I don't want to buy) if you want to use any of it's cool features - like the music.
 Best phone I've had April 14, 2008
Very good phone, small but mighty. It's a little bit one the fragile side, but i dont forsee myself having any problems with it. I do text alot and no probs with the keys, the slide could be a bit tighter however. Best screen i've seen on a phone, crisp and bright. Battery lasts for days and days, depending on how much i use it, i've gone 4 days with maybe 5 texts and 2 calls per day, or 2 days with me playing games on it for a good 4 hours at work one boring day. i did de-brand it to fix the At&t programming it came with... the side lights staying green no matter what, and the internet button is to easily pushed, but now the lights stay blue and the internet button is now a convienent shortcuts button. And debranding also alowed full mp3s to be used as ringtones instead of 30sec max thanks to att. Call quality is great, speakers are loud and crisp. easy to navigate, and the camera is great. the only problem with the camera is lack of flash, but i will survive. I'd reccomend it to the intermediate or advanced cellphone user, but i'd get something a little less packed full of options for a starter phone.
Excellent April 14, 2008

Overall: The phone has performed with near perfection. Every essential element works flawlessly.
Call Quality: Great. No static or interference in calls. Volume is great, and speakerphone works acceptably well.
Battery Life: Superb. The battery life has only barely decreased over four months. It performs at least as well as slated. In my experience, it lasts two days under fairly heavy usage. Additionaly, the battery can fully charge in about an hour. So a thirty minute charge can last you a busy day easily.
Screen: Excellent. Very crisp and clear. Easy to read and very vibrant. Also very sturdy, this is the place that you stick your thumb to slid the phone apart, so it recieves some pressure, so far it has caused zero problems.
Functionality: Very easy to use, menus are extremely intuitive, controls are ergonomic. One thing I have noticed when using other phones is how much better the menus on this phone look, they are attractive and clear. The additional memory is a little pricy, but performs beautifuly. I have had no snags in it's usage. In the way of durability, this phone is great. When shopping, I was afraid the sliding part of the phone may be fragile, but I have been thoroughly impressed with it's resilience.
Walkman: Good. Easy to use. Songs can be loaded on without any headache, although slightly slow. The sound quality is decent at best. However, I believe to the casual ear, the sound will be up to par. Included ear buds are better than expected. Included are multiple sizes to fit any persons ear.
Camera: Great. 2 megapixels is above industry standards, but don't expect your pictures to be photographer quality, fine details are non existent. Plenty of options and good funtionality. Night shot, variable quality levels, and shot styles (panoramic, burst, etc.).
Messaging and Internet Usage: Text messaging is easier on this phone than any other I have used. I cannot tell you much about internet usage, as I do not use it often. From what I have seen, it is pretty standard, and considering how everything else performs, I am confident this is too.
In Summary, everything on this phone is great. There are about five million other things on this phone, like a trivia game, that will keep you entertained for a long time. There is no reason not to buy this phone.
quality phone April 11, 2008
I've had the phone about a month now and love it. The speakers are great on it (can use the walkman without headphones). I have no complaints. I could see someone complaining about the buttons but unless you are using a knife or caveman toe nails to mash the buttons down, they shouldn't crack.
