 Best Phone I have Ever Owned ;) March 4, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Recently, my boyfriend and I decided to get an AT&T family plan and we chose these phones due to the fact that they had the best features of all of the AT&T phones, other then the iPhone of course. The W580i has great reception, an FM radio, mp3 and video functionality with a memory card, 2 megapixel camera, mobile messaging, bluetooth, and comes with its own head phones which function as a head set. I've never been happier with the functionality and reception of my phone at the same time. For the price here, I'd take this phone over the iPhone any day, keeping in mind that I don't need a phone with extensive internet capabilities. The only issue I can see with the phone is that the key pad is relatively small. It's probably a good idea to check one out in a store if you think this might be an issue for you.
Additionally, My boyfriend and I have had the phones for over 4 months now and we've had no issues with the durability. I keep reading reviews on how these phones feel cheap and the keypads break, but it just hasn't been the case with our two at all. Our first impression was that the phones *felt* like they weren't durable. But, experience has shown that the ones we own are. And to be honest, I drop my phone *a lot*. The battery cover popped off once or twice but I popped it back on.
I love this phone.
 So how many features can you pack into one little phone? February 24, 2008

My sister bought a Sony Ericsson about two years ago and I fell in love with it. So, when my Razor started losing its battery life I decided to upgrade to this phone. I love everything from the radio, walkman feature, pedometer, 2mp camera, etc. I've had the phone for two weeks now but haven't even played with all of the features. Battery life is good and I love the color (Graphite with blue highlights). At first I thought the number pad was too small but I haven't had much difficulty. The only problem I have with this phone is there is no flash for the camera, it didn't come with a memory stick (some features can't be accessed without it) and I wish it wasn't so easy to unlock when I put it in my back pocket. I called someone when it was back there!
 Cracked keypad problems not fixed! January 26, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Before buying this phone, I did a lot of research. I read tons of Amazon reviews, CNET reviews, random web reviews---you name it. While everyone went on about how well-designed the phone was, they DID complain about the keypad breaking. I called Sony Ericsson myself and spoke with a representative from there. He stated that the broken keypad issues occured with the first batch of the w580i phones and that I should rest assured knowing the problem had been addressed and fixed. I thought to myself: how hard could it really be to completely fix a broken keypad and replace it with one that doesn't have the slighest chance of breaking? So, I went along and ordered the phone.
To my dismay, not even 3 weeks later, I noticed three of my buttons on the phone's keypad had broken! I guess the representative didn't know what he was talking about.
While the phone has a ton of great features (which I'll save you the trouble of reading; past reviewers have raved about it all enough) and a very good battery life, to me that's no good if the keypad is going to break after only 3 weeks. Out of all the phones I've ever had in my life, I have never once had the keypad crack. What a shame, really. I will never trust a Sony phone again. I will be just fine with my Nokia and Motorola phones from now on.
 A pretty cell phone but with some flaws January 24, 2008

I had this cell phone for about 3 months. This phone has many functions and also has a low range of digital camera which can be used occasionally for causal use. I gave this phone for a 3 stars for the following reasons:
Pros:
1. thin, and pretty
2. lots of function.
3. comes with a built-in camera.
4. cheap, and strong signal (due to AT&T good broadcasting towers?)
5. with built-in mp3 player, and changeable Micro card.
Cons:
1. The mp3 player does not work for other non-latin languages. I guess that the programmer has no idea that there are at least hundreds of languages other than English, Spanish, German. :)
2. The slot for the Micro card is not well designed. 5 out 10 times I have to press the card door to ensure the card readable so that MP3 files can be player, because mp3 files are stored in the Micro memory card! This is annoying!!
Cool phone with great sound and loooong battery life. January 23, 2008
I really love the battery life of this phone. It lasts a good 8-9 hours talking and or listening to it as a MP3 player or radio. Great music phone with good built in speaker too. Comes with headphones also.
