Sony Ericsson W580i - urban gray review

By Kent German (cnet.com)

The Sony Ericsson W580i has an attractive, easy-to-use design, a satisfying feature set, and admirable call quality.

The Sony Ericsson W580i's audio was harsh at the highest volume levels, and the keypad buttons are somewhat cramped. Also, the battery life wasn't reliable.

The Sony Ericsson W580i is a stylish multimedia cell phone with good performance on all fronts.

"Worst Phone EVER!"

By ninjakity2 (cnet.com)

Walkman feature is cool, easy to use, decent phone quality

I've exchanged this phone 3 times though AT&T's warranty exchange dept. Each time the screen turned black. I could still make and receive calls. I just couldn't see who was calling. This phone is totally unreliable.

I owned the pink version. I liked that it was available in multiple colours. I loved the pedometer and the flashing lights.

There are so many things I don't like that 250 characters isn't enough. Cracked keys, detached keys, static noises during phone calls, phone would cut in and out during phone calls...
