Sony Ericsson W580 - User Reviews

  • Just fashion.

  • This phone was so wonderfully tactile. The sliding mechanism was gloriously smooth and had the perfect amount of resistance. Picking up a call by sliding it open and ending a call by sliding it back down was brilliantly intuitive and practical. Today's smartphones are all cold, dead slabs of metal with no tactility and crappy vibration motors to provide a bare minimum of sensory feedback. Wish there were more ways to restore some tactility in phones nowadays.

  • i still have a live phone, and im using 32gb micro sd, its working fine, sometimes when you browse folders and files phone get little slow but np... still working like a charm.

  • 8 gig memory card? But it says its only expandable up to 4 gigs

  • One of my all time faviorete phones still have it to this day although i had to replace the keypad and directional buttons as they eventually stopped working but its working as good as new now :). Use it mainly for work and when i go for a run, saves breaking my current phone :).

  • oh my !!! found this one in my basement...didnt use it since 2009 I guess....checked ...and its still works perfectly!!!! now I ise it as mp3 player with 8 gb memory card :-)))) great job , Sony Ericsson team !!!!

  • i need help ders a problem w/ simcard slot .... on my phone screen ( insert smartchip) hw can i fix this???? need help pls.

  • I have this phone since 8 years, sonyericsson phones has really very good audio quality, camera picture quality, it served me for 8 years, but i started facing problems regarding its keypad from just its 2nd year, now keypad is totally broken and i cant use phone properly, i now use this phone for taking pictures only, if there is a way i can get new keypad please inform me. I have inquired sonyericsson for this but they now no longer support this phone, specially after sony and ericsson have been saperated.

  • my name is elorine email is [email protected] got the ph from cousin but but to connect to wall plug for charging is difficult the insuting plug is round while orthers is flat how can i charge it a w580 sony ericsson

  • i have a sony ericsson w580i and my keypad circuit is damaged and cannot be repaired...i have kept a passcode when the phone starts and now due to damaged keypad i cannot type the passcode.is there any other way to unlock my phone???please help!!

  • I have an unlocked W580i purchased from Hong Kong, voice and plain text messaging works ok, but I cannot receive MMS picture messages via MEdia Net on the AT&T network in the US. I can't figure how to set it up to do this since the menu options are different than with the AT&T branded version. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

  • Im using this mobile and the phone heats up when surfing the internet. The microphone is a problem the other side cant hear me its like i rate the sound 2/10 and sending of messages is so slow, sending multiple messages the phone says no network coverage even i have a full signal. And when i put themes the menu icon doesn't change. It just changes the wallpaper. What's wrong with my mobile? I bought this in taiwan.

  • phones really good

  • I've had it since 2007, the sound and the player was always the best. There was even a feature, in order for the player to change the song, all I had to do was shake it :-) I still have it, it still works perfectly good. I only use it for music though :-)

  • I have owned this phone since 2007 until some fool stole it from my room this year. I loved this phone like no other. Had owned another SE before and now 1 of my phones is an Xperia mini but this SE is still my favourite 1. I loved the old SE layout and themes that change with every menu. The lights on the side that flash with the vibration and ringing. Sony Ericsson before the standardised Google OS. I miss it. that distinct Sony Ericsson feel.

  • I was just cleaning my cupboard when i found this device lying under some stuff. I have this phone since 2008, the first phone i got. I really loved it especially the LED strips on both the sides (the main reason i bought this phone for :P). I have many memories attached to it. It was working fine for 2 years till one day when it just wouldnt charge. It was giving some troubles before, it wasnt that major but that day it just wouldnt recognize the charging pin connected to it. Even the headphones were not working with it. The guys at the service centre could not repair it so i bought an iphone 4. I wish i could repair it... anyway just sharing this thing

  • I agree. And while I have never needed to replace the battery, I have dropped it too many times to count and it has yet to break. There were just a LOT of dents, scuffs and gouges on the housing. I said were because I replaced the old white casing with a new red one. And now it's pretty again:)

  • Yes this is one of the best phone, i am using this phone since November 2008 and still using this phone,i really love picture quality, music quality & speed of this phone. Only thing is to get its standard battery which is too costly (2400\-Rs)which i have purchased once but it worth it.

  • realy this mobile is very good I used it.

  • its very true. I used that phone for a year. Is one of sony ericssony's best phone. to what mattered most was the speed of its kind...

  • really the best !!

  • One of the best handsets I´ve had so far. Very pratical and confortable, it´s display exibits one of the best color rendering and viewing angles of any of the handsets I´ve contacted with, the operating system will surprise some Symbian and even Android users with a simple and cleverly designed interface, radio sensitivity and mp3 audio quality are quite good, and batery life does not compromise at all. Using it for 4 years now and I still prefer it to my android LG.

  • Since I'm having this phone for (5) years, I'm a special reviewer! Main advantages: 1.Design, mobility, durability 2.User friendly & logic software 3.Generally good camera for still pictures 4.Very good display quality 5.Acceptable sound through speakers 6.Comfortable & well lit keypad 7.Pleasing quality of earphones Main disadvantages: 1.Very bad charging/handsfree port, which soon result in disability to charge the battery & listening to music. 2.Not possible to charge the battery & listening to music at the same time. 3.No reliable battery capacity, but whole service life is good, but battery replacement is easy 4.Takes about 3 hours to be fully charged 5.Internet browsing has some annoying problems 6.No sign or alert for new events in standby mode 7.No good games 8.Slight noise on earphones during playing music Overall: Relatively good mobile phone, but no good walkman

  • I love so much these mobile brand. That's so cute. IS MY BEST.

  • is this mobile still available in stores to buy? in india or us

  • it is a very good phone fo the muzic lovers!!!! n the camera is satisfactory...but the real prob is with the battery!!!! newaz its mah fav !!!

  • this phone is the best for photo and loading browser i have 3 of this

  • Sony ericsson is comendable. I love it more than any phone. How can i read my download text?. When am brousing the net, my phone most atimes prompts me to download the page instead of opening the page. When i do so, the saved downloaded file does not open rather, it prompts me to send via bluthoot or email.

  • Okay, go to Settings > Connectivity > Internet settings > Internet profiles and choose the correct profile i.e. settings that your service provider has given you. If you haven't downloaded the profile then you can enter the settings yourself by choosing New profile.

  • I had this phone for two years, but i lost it. I was so depressed when i'd lost it. it's a good phone, very good phone, when it comes to everything, especially, music and camera. i soooo miss it. :( maybe, if i didn't lost it, i never change it for new phones in the market.

  • i just want to ask if how can i activate the gprs of this phone,,,, thanks

  • my camera is not working how could it be fix it working very well but i need my camera and how do i get my message i lose

  • i luv dis fone very smart

  • i need this who want to sall that w580i

  • its very interesting to use this mobile plz lounch this w580i mobile

  • rich look mobile..

  • Yes you can AmaZon or Ebay. (Ebay sells it cheaper and better)

  • Can i still get parts for this phone... Like screen and all

  • I have this one from Jan 2008, this is really good it is working properly other than same range phones, good sound quality, good 2mp camera and style, i have dropped many time but no problem, i request to sony launch new phone like this in walkman series with android... thanks

  • This phone is really great,, i have purchased it in December 2008 and still am using it, without any problem and it works great, the only problem is its sensitive keypad, but not a big issue. The worst thing is that once your battery is out of order, new batter is very very costly about Rs 2400/-($60), as comared to other phones its too much costly , still i bought it coz i am addicted to this phone.i have samsung galaxy y Android smart phone, but still i use my w580i for listening to music and for taking pictures,,coz its result is really amazing.

  • these is one of sony ericssons best phone the browsing speed great.love it so much

  • Did megabass of this handphone working good?

  • I love this phone, the best phone I have so far. I have it for 5 years and it is still working fine. The camera works great, love the pedometer feature, and it is compact enough to fit in my pocket.

  • I love so much this phone.I've had this phone from 5years. to using till. but not have any one single defect in peace... so i have inform to you are good peaces are producing the connecting to peoples.

  • i love its the best phone i have ever use

  • I love, love, love this phone so much.I've had this phone for quite a while(about 4-3 years) and it's still going perfect, only prob is one of my buttons are broke(this is prob cause how long i've had it.) It stinks that I cant find anywhere to buy a new one. I dont want any of the new fancy touch phones :/

  • it is very nice phon, very easy to use... very staylish..

  • have this phone in 2 diff. colors. wonderful!!!! dropped in the toilet and a bucket of wet clay, promptly took apart and cleaned by myself and both still work fine. would love a new one.

  • i had one,because we got a new phone, it had no serves but i loved how you can choose theams. lath that year[phone was used] the screen died and i had to smash it, i liked bluetooth ,but and i wish it had wifi.

  • Bought this phone in june 2008. i unlocked it a month later to use with a UK sim card for a cruise trip thru baltic sea europe. worked without fail during our entire trip thru 7 countries. clear sound, good messaging, good battery life. Since then i aquired a lot of phones, my latest a smart nokia 8 band world phone (unlocked, so i can use any GSM sim card in europe and usa). i, now resurrected the sony w580 for use by my wife in europe on our latest trip using a euro buzz sim. very high quality, reliable fone with good battery life. who else still uses a 4 yr old fone?

  • Have been using this cell since last 3 yrs. No complaints! :)

  • This is a bad phone..bought this one in Oct 2007 and since then this phone is not working properly..Battery life is very bad..only one good thing in this mobile is it's music..

  • my w5801 is awesome! specially to music lover! loved it.

  • i boughy SE w580 since 2008... it still ok evn now u used xperia ray... problem ribbon n keypad) but really satisfied after drop many time, step on it etc....

  • Hi there, i just have a little favor to ask. I used to own the sony ericsson W580i and also loved it. There's some SMS tones on there that i really like and would love to use to customize my new phone. Is there anyway you can share with me the list of its original SMS tones? Much will be appreciated. Thank you!

  • W580 is a solid phone. It's not really good for heavy texters because the buttons are a bit fragile but overall, it performs well especially in the music department. I've also had the W760, C905 and W995 and even though those phones have better specs, the W580 never really lagged or restarted unexpectedly or physically started falling apart like the others. This is a classic Sony Ericsson phone.

  • My W580i has crossed 4 years and is still new.....performing better than an Xperia. This is the most awesome phone i've ever had in my life....superb sound and picture quality....I've fallen in love with this one ! Long live W580i........!

  • I've been using W580i since 2008, it's very user-friendly, I really loved it. ^^ I accidentally dropped it several times but the screen and speaker is still in perfect condition. :) The only problem was the keypad. Mine cracked after 2 years and eventually came off. However, I can still type even though it's keypad-less. XD It's definitely worth the buy, in my opinion. :)

  • I have owned it for 3 years now, and I am finally going to replace it, just because I want a 3g-support smart phone now. Otherwise, it is a brilliant handset for music lovers, a good quality 2 mp camera. The downsides to it are a sensitive keypad and comparitively low battery life. Otherwise it is the best buy in with the classiest looks in its price bracket. Will surely miss it.

  • Pls give the price too

  • Bought mine in 2009 and still got it with me. Great phone. The USB Internet mode was pretty innovative for me.

  • Poor Sliding technology,Over heating of speakers during play back.i bought it in 2008 ,this year 2011 am celebrating its 2nd Death anniversary!!!

  • I love this Sony ericssson like crazy

  • I've been using the phone for 2 years now. very durable phone from SE. i dont know bout u guys but i've dropped this phone over and over again and even got soaked in the rain. but its still working great. no lag, no scratch and lcd is still in perfect shape. too bad SE discontinued this phone. im still using it today.

  • At first I thought it was a great phone. Great screen and great specs too (for the time). But after just 4 months, the keys started to crack and break. And a little bit after that, at around 6 months, the space button just wouldn't work anymore. Ericsson graciously replaced them, but it just happened again when the warranty was over. Also, after a year or so, the slide mechanism broke down and it clicks a lot now. Looking to replace this phone after 3 years of servitude.

  • i've been using this phone for almost 3 years, its still good even after i accidentaly step on it,and of course the LCD broke into two, and its creating a single line in the middle of the screen, its quite irritating tho, but its still working and the speaker is still as good as new. But i've got some problems here,the charger wont connect to the phone no matter what i do, and the handsfree wont connect too, pls help D: thank you so much :)

  • i just broke mine, still working but the screen is not, i checked it and the flex cable had a small cut, how can i repair it? lets say how can i open the half part of it? do i need a 6 torx screw???

  • lovely phone from sony ericsson ... used for 3 year and still working ...ha ha ha ...:)

  • one

  • you will have to change your flex cable to solve that problem

  • its a nice phone & also sounds with headset superb than ever phones

  • my phon was dade so plz which software i will downlodeto the internet plz give me ans first

  • super mobile by folt 3g not available

  • phone is realy good bot only one prblm with handset battery gets down very fast & every thing is fine with tjhis handset.

  • I've been using this phone for over a year nw, it's very good but the only problem i'm having is with the memory stick. The phone does'nt recognise the memory stick anymore, each time i turn it on it always leave an error message 'all content on memory stick may be lost format anyway' nd when i try 2 format it, it fails 2 format.

  • Its an exciting phone with very good sound quality and potent walkman integrated to it! Its pedometer is pretty close to accurate for an 8 kilometer jogs/runs/walks that I have used it for! The main problem is that it's not strong enough to pass through a sporty lifestyle of a user(I don't mean dropping and throwing but mositure problems and not so tough build design)! No sir it isn't made for that! For a girly girl, this is an ideal gift but for a sporty one.. I'd strongly advice against it! It being a slider, would cause obvious service issues after 10 months of average use and for people who slide the phone often unmindfully, be ready for service in 6 months. Keep it away from water and Moist environments like bathrooms and yes, ofcourse, your sweaty POCKETS! Because it's screen is going to take you for a wild ride you'll never forget.. the speaker is in the centre of navigation button and that really draws in moisture like a gate into the phone. The other thing to mind before buying this phone is that its buttons arent very heavy texting/sms friendly and I have experienced that having overgrown nails doesn't really help typing fast. Sony Ericsson has really understood the price wars in certain markets and learnt its lessons by reducing prices to meet the competition but their Chinese Built phones have big issues with Material Quality and serious issues with memory card compatibility and the phone's own capacity to manage its own memory! The Quality has taken a bit of a slide so far and if your local service centre is badly run with bad servicemen, then it's a bad investment. I have had this for 18 months now and am part of a Sony Ericsson users group. Having used 9 SEs so far, I'd give this model a 5/10 in design strength and quality and 8.5/10 in features as its well packed for an average user!

  • Hey I have used this phone for a year now , it is just perfect and i love it!It looks really cool(slider and lights on side),lots of my friends are jealous .It is also very small and light. 1.The keys are fine there is no cracking (i am a gamer have around 50 games on my phone so i guess as good as a texter if not better) as suggested by some posts , display and slider is fine too.Keys are big enough i have a average size fingers. 2.Little known but Sony Ericsson runs apps(games) MUCH BETTER than other phones(eg. doodle jump loads in 3sec on SE phone and 6sec on nokia ,this is just one example there are many)also the graphics show better and games run more smoothly than on nokia. 3.However the phone some times restarts on its own if overloaded(to many games & apps running at the same time) 4.I have dropped the phone several times from about 4ft on marble , no problem there .(However once my camera developed a loose connection it was fixed when I pressed the lens ) 5.Music Quality Is Awesome !!!!!! SE Walkman phones are unparalleled there!The only phones where you get the mega bass effect. 6.The step counter (accelerometer )really works and works fine ,i like this feature of my phone .However the shake feature is redundant as you have to press and hold the walkman button to shake and change song . its easier to use the previous and next buttons or the volume button directly. 7.Camera is ok for general picture taking in good light , not very good in low light or detail pictures (you can take picture of a single long-book page clear enough to read but thats about it any bigger and you cant zoom and read),also there is no flash .If your looking for better picture taking i suggest the cybershot series 8.I love the slider ,you can pick calls by sliding open and end calls by sliding close ,also sliding open unlocks keypad and sliding close locks it. 9.Finally i am a SE loyalist so i suggest you buy this phone or cybershot , but if your looking at other brands try nokia x3(music is not as good but you get a 5mp cam with flash) Hope you found this review usefull

  • Hi, guys. I want to buy this phone, ma budget is upto 1000 rs. It shud b in gud condition. If ne one interested in selling pls mail me at aviroxx31 at gmail.com Thanx

  • My favoritest mobile...

  • its super model... am using from one year.................

  • the total capacity is 17mb

  • this phone is good except for the keypad. it had a defect after a few weeks after buying it.

  • it is an awesome handset with a gurantee and smoothness , . . Multi tasking feature is a advantage

  • I have it for 3 years now. Not given me any problem whatsoever. Battery still behaves as it used to from day one. The best thing about this is its music playback (through original SE earphones). I can confidently say that it even beats iPod hands down in its playback quality.

  • i have it for 3 years and its fantastico mobile ...i love you

  • its an awesome phone..but it has problem with its keypad...i repair it 4 times but still problem remain

  • Even I have phone 2oo . Its awesom phone in every respect. Sony Ericsson is the best mobile phone company.

  • i had this phone for a few years and LOVED it while i owned it (: only let down was the space bar key cracked and broke after a couple years of use so i was unable to use it after this. However i found the phone brilliant to use and very user friendly. Sony Ericsson have done a nice job on this phone. Was sad to see it go :(

  • The best phone on earth. i am using it for the past three years and rate 9/10. The battery, speaker,internet speed is excellent. The phone is worth the investment...

  • I've been using this phone for 3 years!!!!I was sooo..in love with this phone despite all the bad comments.. people complaining about the cracked keypad,slow and etc so I didn't really care about the comments,its all about how you use it,mine is still fine like I first bought it,everything still works amazing!! except the housing though its scratch so I change to a new one,so it still looks new.Now I am kinda bored with it because there is no wi-fi,im getting xperia x10 I trust sony ericsson,of all the other model out there sony ericsson is the best!!better than nokia,I sure you. :)

  • Hi, I agree W580i is one of the best mobile phones. In real, I don't need more... I sold my HP 614c and bought this one.

  • This is one of the best phones in SE ever....the camera is many times better than w595...I m very lucky to have this phone....

  • This phone is simply the best SE ever. Imagine using this ''device'' for 3 years now(and still counting!) Without any good reason to dump it. a great phone indeed!

During that week I missed my phone so bad, I'm not sure if I want another one, 'cause this one's just easy to handle and has everything I need, nothing more, nothing less...

  • There is something wrong wit dis fne the screen cracks easily.

  • Im using w580i frm past 3 yrs, it is a awesom mobile, i had no problems using it after fallin more dan 10 times frm mi hand...sony's quality is best among other brands...

  • this phone was so good ,i used 2yrs, charge the very week,it was stylishness.....

  • cool phone """

  • i bought this phone one year back,initially it is good but now camera stopped working,very low battery life,some times hangs,very delicate.s................please dont buy \\\

  • i have had this phone for two years and i am very pleased with it. the camera takes very good quality pictures and the video camera on it is pretty good too. this cell phone has many useful features, like a calendar, calculator, pedometer, a fitness setting which can count the calories you are burning, a notes feature and a tasks one, alarms, a photoDJ and a videoDJ (for editing photos and videos), a musicDj (which allows you to create ringtones), and many more. There is also a very good music player (walkman)which allows you to play your own music through the speakers or through earphones. There is also a radio which uses the earphones as an antenna. The call feature of the phone is very reliable; i have rarely had problems with it, the speakerphone is good and the conference call option is too. the only downside of this phone, in my opinion, is the texting: there is no qwerty so texting is difficult/tiring sometimes, and the keys crack easily (however, they are still usable, and this is not such a problem). overall this phone has been very good and i would definitely recommend it.

  • too cool set in comparison with my old nokia 5300 but i m having problem with my batteries.Do any of u have any solutions?????

  • ThIS is not true 580i play video in mp4 very good. Even 352*220 resolution. Some nokia phone not play video of this resolu. Some mp4 video audio format is aac+ and video format is h.263 262. So phone play sound only sound not video.

  • my w580i only play the sound and not the video in mp4 video format or this fon only play the sound not the video?please tell me...

  • I want to buy a battery (original) for my sony erecssion w580i mobile.my home town is near north kolkata where from I get that battery?

  • Yes, I agree, the battery does not last long at all. Especially if you use the radio or lisen 2 music. The phone is pretty but very delicate. It falls onces and things start to go wrong. And the little port where u put in a new memory card is very delicate. It doesn`t close easily and keeps popping up. Also, the memory card got stuck in mine and now I can't use the port at all.

  • Kindly give your mobile to service centre , if you neglect now, all mobile parts gets corrupted. It heppened with me. I think currently there is a problem in battery or in chip.

  • Hav any ever notice a red lite only on the lef side lites. Even if the bateri is full it shws. Even wen fone is off.

  • Da battery doesnt last long becuz the screen takes most power. When fully charge just roam the fone.check batt percent around 90.bes ting 2 do is listen tru headst and leave scrn of.

  • my phone fell down once and now it ain't working properly and i gave it to servicecentre, they could do nothing af it and i'm messed up so don't buy this set

  • I'v used this phone for more than 2 and half yrs. It's ok and nice vary portable..

  • i have used this phone for about 6 month. two thing which made me disappointed with this phone were: 1. Keypad/button broke 2. Phone didn't read memory card (have to take it out and insert it again) so, if u text more then stay away from this phone and also keep in mind the memory card issue..

  • camera great music great but the screen is so easy to broke

  • hi this phone is the best but i have question my stick momery in da phone was moved from its place so play back of my mp3 was faild so what can i do .plz answer me

  • Hi, Anyone remember AgedTenPhoneuva, well that's me. I have had this phone for a year and the buttons have not yet cracked. I still have this phone and the buttons are going strong. The W580i is best at handling music as you can mess around with the speaker to modify the souns of the song. I would still rate this phone 10/10 without at doubt. Definitely buy this. I have asked many people about it and they all wish they still had theirs. I'l report back in another year or so.

  • this is the most common problem with this handset and this problem doesnt affect the performance of this phone at all..knowing sony ericsson they have a very good background concerning perpormance.. very good specs for this phone which doesnt cost a fortune as well..

  • from where did u bought dis phn? as i m planning to gift dis phn to my gal 2morow, bt i heard dat dis set isnt available in market now

  • It Seems Like a great phone

  • i had this phone in 2007, this is the worst phone from SE, i love SE but this one sucks, all buttons broke in half in a couple of months, had it fixed an they broke again. DONT BUY THIS ONE!!!

  • i've been using this phone for about 2-2.5 months and im relly satisfied with its performance, its super cool with the sounds!!! but the navigations key's colors fades away fast!!! other than that thre's no prob with it!! and i rell like it!!!! and ma battery stay's for about 1.5 days wen used to the max with walkman, etc....

  • hw dd u do that doraemon?

  • wel this phone is supper kwl, iv used other models but i enjoy using this phone . . . . big ups to sony

  • I used this phone for 2 years, this is exteremely good phone. I dropped it on the cement for many times but it still working. my phone is pink the pink corpse is not good the color is erased, after i changed the corpse it became new again. i really loce trackID recognistion feature. and also when i go to internet it automatically adapted contents into right display. only bad thing is , this phone can not make video call, now i am addicting video call hence i have to change my good phone.

  • Dont turn on the exercise pace auto detect function. With auto detect turned on, the battery can last for max one day if u are active walking around. With this auto detect turned off, my phone battery can be used in waiting mode for 3-4 days.

  • no it doesnt

  • hi. i had already bought the w580i on 15 may 2010.its wonderful.the only bad thing is that the battery dont last long.is it because of spoilage or the phone is like that.can u plse tell me. i bought the urban grey.how about u?wat colour did u buy for ur wife?

  • wanted to know if w580i can be used in other countries..

  • Guys,does this phone have a Wi-fi detection? also,can it be used as a modem in linux(ubuntu) for internet connection? thank you in advance.

  • Guys, I had this phone for last 1 year, ultimate phone and the most important thing is that Camera is very good and best quality. i want to buy this again.

  • I have had this phone for 9 month and its really nice with a very high sound speakers.But for more entertainment the Sony Ericsson w995 is better

  • Guys i need to buy a memory card ribbon for my w580i where can i buy that part

  • i've had this phone for about 2 years now and it has been incredible, but the only thing is that a few days ago all the buttons on the top bit have stopped working but other than that, it has been a really good phone. I would recommend getting this phone as it is well worth the money.

  • the cheapest place to get the keypad is ebay. other online cell phone parts sell for $25-$30. go to youtube and type in "disassemble w580" and there are a few clips that shows enough on how to take off your keypad. I am going to do the same with my wifes phone but i am going to also switch out the lcd screen and replace all new covers, keypad, and buttons. hope this answers your questions.

  • the only bad thing is through time the charging port starts to oxidize and it won't charge the phone from having no contact so alway try to keep the charging port clean. My wife loves this phone... she won't get any other phone. she love the FM radio and the speaker is by far the best I have ever experienced clear and loud

  • try zedge.com.ill download all my themes there.there just damm cool. trust me

  • i am using this mob.from last 1 year and i am totally satisfied with this phone and features.camera clarity is good and voice is fantastic.this phone is extremely good

  • i am using sony ericsson w580 phone from past 2 years.... i like the service of the phone due to which i'm not willing to change the phone... i want to change the key pads .... can i get the information about changing key pads??

  • I have hand mine for three years een washed the head phones and all which by the way aren't cheap but my socket to put them in is playing the fool but other than that works like a dream but it's time to trade it gae me good sevice so far but i am a die hard nokia user so good luck all

  • For all the features this phone has, it is really sad how I got a hold of a lemon. It comes with an ARM processor built-in, which means it's a smartphone in a regular cell phone's wrapper. I was not able to (I broke mine before I could), but I would recommend that you buy the 8GB Memory Micro card for it. Be careful not to download viruses with it. What is really weird is how I loved my jacked up lemon of a phone - too bits! I used the USB data cord included with it and I inadvertently downloaded and installed some cell phone viruses. Ever since then, the phone would cut out on me at the worst possible times. But no matter what I loved this phone anyway. I loved the FM Radio. I loved the wired headset that came with it. I loved the USB data cord that came included. I loved the sliding functions. I truly miss all those things. Try to find a decent cell phone today, with a really nice FM Radio and get the USB cord included. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Take my advice: if you break this phone, then repair it. Keep this phone at all costs, because it is not likely that you will find anything comparable for a long, long time.

  • Now it costs about 69EUR in Portugal. Not cheap, but not terribly expensive for an old model.

  • cannot say

  • How much price of ths phn now? (sonyericsson w580i)

  • One of the best phones I've had. Durable, lots of features, a few quirky ones like walk around the world feature. Step counter etc which I wasn't expecting. Another feature is different light activity from the sides. Very girly! Very good sound and lots of memory (2gb) with the one I got. Cameras OK not the best but it's a walkman phone so can't expect much. The only gripe I have is that the back of the phone came off one day and didn't fit very well a bit flimsy. Over all Great!

  • best fone ever had good camera quality.can any 1 tell me where 2 get cool themes 4 this fone

  • I love this cell phone I bough it in june 2008, but I lost it a few months later so I buy it again in june 2009 I still use it and I've never had a problem

  • Used this phone for one and half year. I love this phone. The housing is almost scratch free despite the fact that I keep it in my pocket together with keys. The mega bass is wonderful. The photos turn out great although it is only 2.1MP. The only problem I had was that the keys cracked. I replaced it myself from ebay store with the help of youtube and it is as good as original. Overall it is a beautiful phone.

I love music and this phone satisfied my craving for LOUD music. It finally broke when i was texting and my brother hit the back of my hand with a spoon, and then went flying into a huge watery mud puddle. All in all, one of the greatest phones I've ever had

  • My husband got me a W580i as a bday/wedding gift from Malaysia. I've had it for a year now and I absolutely love it the following features: *the cool pink champaigne color *Shuffle Walkman *Light effects *My Shortcuts button (favorite button) *Back button (easy way of exiting an application, etc. - just hold it down for a few seconds & it' returns to the main screen) *Volume buttons - did you know that not only can you adjust the volume using the buttons on the left side of the handset. On the main screen, if you press either of the volume buttons the phone status will be displayed automatically. *Fitness (shows you the distance you've walked, # of steps, calories burnt) *Contacts (personalising each contact's details) *Alarms (very useful & user-friendly) *Organizer (user-friendly) I've dropped this baby so many times but it's still in top condition:) Hmmmm, the only things I don't like about this handset is that they 2 keys are cracked & all the other keys are almost cracked too. You can't add a lanyard or phone tag because it'll come off. Also every now & then it'll freeze up or sometimes when you make/receive calls you won't be able to hear the other person. When that happens it's best to turn off the handset and then power it up again. I am loving my Sony - it's totally ROCKS!

One of my favorites. Another problem is the charger input. you have to be very careful plugging it in,, or else after some (fast) time it won't read itself as charging or wont read itself on computers, because the plug is so large.. Still

  • hi people i believe the phone is okay, but i reently bought it keep mosting so then i can becarfull thanks.(*)

  • which part you want

  • no part available anywhere in the world.

  • I have this phone for almost two years, now. I like it as I find its functionality and design quite appealing. Pro-s: - - - 1. very nice screen: bright and vivid (though it has its toll on the battery) 2. well built (except the buttons, see below) 3. It's interesting for me to watch how much do I walk or run, so I like this feature. 4. Love the modifiable quick menu. I set the first option to Turn On Bluetooth to easily activate my ear-piece while in car. Cons: - - - 1. Call quality is ok, should be better. 2. I have 8 cracked keys. They are so flimsy. And the volume up button eventually stopped functioning. May be internal cleaning will be sufficient. 3. I regularly find myself setting the brightness level to 50%, in order to make sure I'll not tun out of juice... 4. A dropped the phone on wood floor a few times. Almost every time, the battery cover along with the battery were detached, and the dates were reset. Notes: - - - 1. The USB cable, plugged into a USB2 port will charge your battery up to 86-90%. 2. I prefer using Opera Mini as my web browser, rather than the native one, as Opera Mini is feature-packed and consumes MUCH less traffic.

  • its been more than a year that i'm using this cell. Its AMAZING!! when i purchased after 2 months later my cell had been dead. there was no display at all. it was in warranty period,so my cell had been replaced at no cost. only my comment is this cell is AMAZING!! but now after 1 year my battery has died as it is now out of warranty,i have to purchase it for RS 1385. but cell is AMAZING!! after inserting new battery, i felt nice,the reason is w580i is AMAZING!! but 1 month later again i got 1 trouble, my cell speaker had died, i was unable to listen what others are boosting. at this time i was able to make myself calm because moblie is AMAZING!! i replaced my cell's speaker, which cost me RS 1550. now i'm really happy with my cell because cell is AMAZING!!. guyz you beleive or not i'm really happy with my W580i. it doesn't matter how much i got trouble but all its worthy. may be you also get trouble in your daily life so why not with your cell. cell is also a part of your life. but its AMAZING!!!!.HEHEHE.....

  • i,ve had this phone for over a year and love it. just so you know the quality is great for everything but the keypad. it is cheap and easy to replace though.

  • does anybody out there help. am having problems with my w580. first freezes when am playing mobile games. and then the screen goes blank sometimes. the music wont play until i restart the the phone. and the side lights wont go off see am a se freak i ve used this for 8 months only and i dont think its fare. plz help!

  • wat evr u do dnt bi da w580i wif vodafone.

  • who like this phone!?!?!? I do :-)

  • for anyone who is viewing this page by this phone!!!!!

  • This phone is a good choice if you like to listen to music all day because 1)The sound has a very high quality. 2)The phone has a good battery life so you can listen to it for hours on end.

  • Yes because i have dropped mine afew times on hard surfaces and the screen hasnt broke and neither have the buttons but you do have to watch out for the buttons because they are so delicate, if you get it hope you enjoy it.

  • It is a great phone. I think it isnt missing much but it could have better external memory, (Up to 8GB-thats what i hear-dunno if its true). It has got one feature in particular that you dont need and if you took it away the battery would last longer eg. the coloured lights. But one feature I did wish I had on this phone is secondary(Video calling- The person you are calling can see your face while calling them, but it costs way more than a normal call) It is a good for your first phone because the menus arent to complicated and are easy to learn quickly. Now, everybody is saying that the buttons crack but ive had mine for about 4 months and nothing has happened to them. the keyboard does make a fair bit of noise when your trying to use it quietly, I say this because al you hear when you're typing is CLICK CLICK CLICK. this phone was my first good phone and i think i made a good choice on picking it.(My other phone was the Sagem my225x- The close brother of the my220x) Hope this helps, Andy.

  • it is very stylish phone.this phone is very good in picture clarity and light effect.sound clarity is also good.

  • I am getting it from friend for 80 pretty new. i am clumsy though and my last slider screen broke... still worth it? please help

  • I have this phone for 2 years and I had 2 replace the buttons 4 times...This phone is good but I wount recomend it.The new W995 is a better choice

  • this is the horrible phone i have ever seen...pls dont buy...u start getting problems after few months.........

  • It's a gr8 phone to use if u use it with lot of care...!!!otherwise it starts showing many problems..!!

  • I have never had as many problems with a phone as I have with this one. I like the phone itself, but i have had it warranteed 4 times in the warrantee year, and now a year later the screan is completely blank. It just keeps breaking! You can drop it from a foot off the ground and the phone burts into 4 pieces. If you are at all clutsy DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

  • Look guys this phone is really not bad till some months you use it.. But after about 8 or 10 months it starts to show its problems.. this phone is really good at its functions.. I've never saw any phone like this but its physical properties are to be improved... Its housing looses color so fast... Keypads will all be broken.. But it was worse when this phone's screen was half dead.. Exactly the half portion of this phone is black... Nothing's visible below the center of the screen... So please keep things on your mind before you buy this phone.. I don't want you guys to have these problems which I'm having.....

  • the main disadnvantage of this phone is it's keypad... you can face a lot of problems with the keypad frequently... otherwise the phone is best of it's class..

  • Its a classy phone n its seriously good.

  • I am going to get this Phone its looks great and i am going to have a go with it, It seems much better anway than my old One .

  • a bgood fone 2 hang with...... sme probs exist.. but dre are many advantages

  • it is very good in picture clarity, battery back up is 1 and half day for me, suddenly the speekers become closed, after restart the phone they will active.

  • this hp really not good...the battery low faster..and the button will break..so dont buy it

  • My cousin got one for 9000 Rs. I'd say for that price, a complete waste... My LG GM200 has got almost da same spec and robust design for a mere 5,570 Rs. Atleast it should have had 3G. He's already facing problems with keypad and display.... I love SonyEricsson but not this one....

  • using since 2yrs, This cell's sound output and Pics quality is unbeatable, but very common problems r 1) broken keys 2) suddenly all the speakers go off,need to restart. this happens once a day atleast. 3) battery is enough for one day use.

  • elizabeth..you are right..take good care of your fone and it will last forever

  • i had this little phone over a year ago and never experienced an ounce of problems, but then the notion is, all phones can scratch break depending on the user, they are delicate useful gadgets made to last if you take care of them. i keep mine in a sleeve/pouch and dont bang down the keys hard and try not to drop it or bang it on my leg etc. pretty much like a car, all depends on how you take care of it. am picking up my new w580i tomorrow.

  • Fantastic phone. downfall ---> buttons break

  • omg!! i hated this phone soo much!!! thanks god i sold it! now i have an iphone... what a change!xd i hatee uu w580!!! worst cellphone ever!

  • 4GB

  • I don't know why people hate this phone, but my W580 worked for me perfectly for the last 23 months. All the functions were excellent and I love the pedometer and all the other extra functions like composing music. However this phone is quite slow, and the key pads can crack easily if you play too much games on it. 9/10

  • Im using this phone and I think this is the Best Phone by Sony ericsson I've ever had till date.

  • I have been using nokia 5200.and i hated nokia.onhearing about SE i discusfed with my friends and got this w580i.hu is rocking.

  • stooge

  • hey this phone is best and it never hangs.its speakers are outstanding and is a slim phone

  • Usually Sony Ericsson phones are well built, but this phone seems to have horrible materials. I know at least 5 people who's buttons have somehow broken and stopped working within 4 months. I don't suggest this cell phone, unless you are willing to have a phone that breaks easily.

  • All the SE phone menu is the same kind. Hate it.

  • hey plz can any1 say me where is bluetooth in that phone i m not getting?

  • can anybody tel me..is W595 bettr dan dis..????? Anybody plz answer me...

  • I am using 4 Gb

  • its the worst SE handset dat i hv ever used

  • can anyone specify how much the memory card is expandable upto

  • This is the model who achieved me to hate the SE fully and totally. I am not a usability expert to talk about the design and simplicity of the phone. But the most worst experience i faced is - the phone gets hanged very frequently. I have upraded the s/w many times - none solved the problem. Its not just me - every friend of mine using this phone had the same complaint. finnaly i moved to E63 - a feel so good and relaxation.

  • Ter r so many options in the market nw. I hav been using SE fones frm 2002 nw i own w580. I wil never buy a SE again. I had enough headches wit w580. No SE again

  • I have had this phone for almost 2 months and it is exellent first I want to say about the camera its a 2megapixal.It has a pedomiter that you can use if you like to run or if you hold or put it in your pocket it say at the end of the day how many steps you have made that day

  • Must buy this phone, its the best so far. i have been using for 1 & a half yr, and it never gave me any problems. Its working perfectly alright, & the designs & funcions are really nice. Trust me :)

  • Fellows and readers, this post is 2 inform u ppl dat sony ericsson is the best brand and w580i is probably the best in looks. Its performance is fantastic. I hav used this phone and its working well. It is probably the strongest slide phone. The only precautions ppl should follow r not 2 force the selector cuz it has a speaker embedded beneath it and secondly prevent the usage of the keypad with the nails, use the whole thumb or finger. I would like to leave a msg 2 all the ones dissatisfied with this fone "TAKE A HIKE". Ur complaints would have only occured if you have been rude to this model. And all ppl who compare ericsson with nokia should know dat NOKIA IS CRAP. W580i is a typical guy phone.

  • Hey, i've used the w580 since 2007 & it has'nt given any serious problem. There was a time it fell into water for about 15 minutes unknown to me but it still came out working perfectly. Its simply the perfect phone.

  • nice phone/mp3 player,, nice features & scratch resistant lcd,, only,,, you have to take care of this phone more than youre girlfriend,,

  • This is a really cool phone. It's got all the features (and more) that you will need in a phone. Only one negative comment, the two top circle buttons on the outside of the phone tend to stick after a few months.

  • its a solid phone.Its wot i use

  • I have had this phone for about two years and it is by far the WORST phone I have ever had. I have gone through 2 of these phones. My calls did not work on my first one so they sent me a new one and then the same thing happened to the second one. The slider gets really loose and the keys crack after only a short period of time. Basically just don't buy this phone. EVER.

  • I own this phone since last one and half year and got no problem except the little cracks in keypad. Could anyone tell honestly - upto how much memory could be expanded without slowing down of this phone (i mean to ask Upto what GB company recommends)

  • I agree with you Nokia is number one. Number one at making horrible phones!!

  • so what? nobody is forcing to buy nokia. afterall it is ur money. everyone has their own tastes and preferences. both nokia and se are good. but nokia is still no.1

  • so what? nobody is forcing to buy nokia. afterall it is ur money. everyone has their own tastes and preferences. both nokia and se are good. but nokia is still no.1

  • so what? nobody is forcing to buy nokia. afterall it is ur money. everyone has their own tastes and preferences. both nokia and se are good. but nokia is still no.1

  • Its not worth. I say its useless. I've taken the phone to the service center 6 times in my warranty period , now after 1 year use its having multiple probs and i was recommended by the service center people to pay Rs 7000 to get it repaired. I payed 13500 when i bought the phone so"13500+7000" its a waste. still i love everything about w-580. i would suggest dont go for it

  • i have this phone,, but i have a problem,, the left panel key doesent work,, & also the # sighn key,, does any one knows how to resolve this???and also is there anyway to avoid the keypads to crack?? pls help!,, :(

  • I really like SE and I bought two SE phones this year. The interface is very cool and the screen is super vibrant unlike with NOKIA that the screen looks very sad and oldish. SE has cool games which I can download for free and the walkman phones has superb sound.. NOKIA cannot beat their walkman headsets and its only SE that does that.. =)

  • Walkman players never got boring. You can custumize it if you want. Unlike Nokia were the interface is the most boring interface of all interface. Almost everything is the same. I mean come on! N series music players are the most horrible music players too. Walkman players are the best. It's so organized and at the same time has really smooth and fun animations. You can even custimize it or add some skins. There's Walkman 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. Unlike Nokia were it's all the same old boring thing.

  • Walkman is way better and MegaBass is not a gimick. It's really high in bass. Nokia phones may have that stupid symbian, but you don't really need all those applications. I was an N series user once. I owned the N73me and I realized I don't need those applications and there are lots of java applications available for SE. N73 gave me lots of problems like memory full bug. Stupid Nokia processors are so slow. SE is relly good. And you don't get bored with thier interface because their ar tons of flash menu and you can even custumize your phone. Stupid Nokia has that same old menu for how many years now and there are no animations at all. How boring is that! Their phone's design are so boring. SE has those really funky design and awesome interface. Their phones are more reliable because Nokia's phones always tend to hang and lag. And XpressMusic has the worst sound quality ever!! SE is the best! SE Rules!

  • i agree with u totally . nokia is garbage . i mean allmost every model of nokia is garbage . i know there r 1 or 2 weak models in sony too like w580 which is little dalicate but sony is way better than dust called nokia

  • this peice of crap s.e. walkman w580 series prooves that the walkman models are not that good like they were used to be . this w580 model is the most returned mobile product for the last few months since the time it got released . the walkman series got boring animations and menus just like the s.e. k series products same old firmware in almost all s.e. products and with two or three options changed here and there each time they relelase a new phone , plus the s.e. firmware is really well known for crashing stuck up and lag problems . since s.e. doesnt have inbuilt processors like most nokias its a shame that just a firmware is getting stuck up on usage . nokias are way better cuz they perform with quality processors and uses symbian os . symbian os supports millions of applications while s.e. firmware is having difficult moments finding java supported softwares around the internet . the s.e. walkman series mega bass option is just a marketing gimmik its just a equalizer preset in nokia xpress music model u can match the s.e. mega bass sounds just by changing the equalizer presets in order (some gsmarena xpress music reviews have confirmed this) . s.e.s are just for ppl who wanna get bored with ur mobile just in two three weeks while nokia xpress music is for ppl who wanna love there mobiles for a life time .

  • i agree with u totally . nokia is garbage . i mean allmost every model of nokia is garbage . i know there r 1 or 2 weak models in sony too like w580 which is little dalicate but sony is way better than dust called nokia

  • XpressMusic has the worst sound quality ever and has the worst music players ever. The Walkman's walkman player are the most awesome music players out there. The interface is really fun and has a lot of animations. And walkman's sound quality is just awesome! While in nokia, it's all the same old crap. So people, if you want way better music phones get Walkmans not that stupid XpressMusic because you'll really regret it and you'll get bored with the same old music players and interface.

  • Eeewww Nokia phones are stupid. Especially the N series. They look like bricks and their really heavy. And what horrible user interface they've got. Xpress Music has the worst sound quality ever and their designs look like toys. SE has the best userinterface and best designs ever. And don't talk about Nokia having better processors because their phones always hang and lag. This phone might have a lot of problems but there are still a lot of better SE phones out there. Nokia is just plain crap. SE has the best looking phones, most stable phones, and the most awesome user interface ever. Nokia is just so boring. All their menus and such are all the same. SE RULES!!

  • dont lie man ... ur using a w580 for half an year and ur not having any problems thats the biggest lie ive ever heard probably anyone who used a w580 wont beleive what ur saying ... i hope ur keys are not damaged at least - freaking liers .

  • I work in an O2 Store in Ireland and I can confirm that the w580 by Sony Ericsson has many, many issues. Last year, it was possibly the most returned phone of the year. The major faults were: .Cracking keypad .Keypad keys not responding .Slide getting stuck half way up .Screen seemed to slip behind casing, meaning that some of the screen cannot be seen. A customer has given me this phone for free because of all the troubles they've had with it. Ive gotten it repaired (for free, of course :) ) and I'm gonna try it for a few weeks from tomorrow, to test it for myself. But yes, the phone is extremely unreliable and would not be advised. It looks good, and thats about it. Hope this helps, Jay

  • iam using w 580 for one and half year the phone is very good and no complaints

  • The display of this phone is really worst. My phone worked well for 5 months, later i had changed the display because of the display problem. I spend rs 2500 to change the display.. And i m not the only one who got this problem, there are so many others also google it.

  • i had this phone for well over a year and i had no problem with it what so ever.this is in fact a very good phone.

  • its a stupid phone..! one of frnds has it and the buttons came off in jus 2 months..! its slow..! and highly over priced for its features..! but wat the hec.. thts how sony ericsson phones are.. stupid and over priced..! so i wud suggest uall to stop buying sony phones. nokia phones wid equivalent features and better processors are for almost half the price..! i feel sad for ppl who bought this phone. sony ericsson tricked u into it.. its jus looks good.. but inside its a horrible phone.. i wont use a sony phone even if someone sells it to me for free NOKIA ROCKS..!!!!

  • This phone takes okay photos. And that's about it. The buttons crack in half and stop working after a while... for example, my space button quit working, and off and on, other random buttons quit working then work. I don't know what's up with it. All of my keys are cracked and the center button in the ring always gets stuck. I can't wait to get another phone. It always locks up when you close it, and the clear button is so conviniently close to the browser button that you are writting a text message when you get on the internet, lose your text for about a week, and your text messages stop popping up. Unless you restart the phone which takes forever. I do not recommend this phone to anyone, unless it is just to have for a few days.

  • good fone but just a show peace..... i got a lot of problems and suggest everybody not to buy it.

  • this reply goes to mr surinder - ur comment on this phone (saying its a very very very good phone) just made a another 1000s of ppl get into trouble by buying this model - so why dont u face the truth and speak the truth ok . dont put innocent ppl into trouble . some are working hard for a few months just to buy a new phone that fits em for a life time using there salary . not everyonce rich . this model is a failure im sure u have expirienced it with every fault in this phone . the w580 units were sold and have been returned in thousands to mobile phone stores around the world . please try to be true next time . this is going out all of u ppl who have commented on this phone saying so many good things about it . go for w910 by s.e. its way better than this one but never buy w580.

  • ur comment on this phone (saying its a very very very good phone) just made a few ppl get into trouble by buying this model - so why dont u face the truth and speak the truth ok . dont put ppl into trouble .

  • It's really a very very very good phone .

  • k series c series or w series its still crappy with s.e. cuz i expirienced too much trouble with my s.e. k850i even not only with w580 . it didnt even took one or two months and my touch buttons in my k850i started to work instantly . like i dont even have to touch the buttons to work properly . it started to work like super touch lol . and the phone started to give sudden restarts . i never drop my phones i never have , i never connect my phone to computers with viruses or torjans i never plug in my phones to damaged power sockets . and one more thing i really hated about my k850i i used to have the nokia 5700 xpress music back then i sold my 5700 after i brought the k850i thinking that its sound quality must be good on headset . i was really wrong i really hated s.e. its like when im on the road i cant almost hear the song while i have my headset connected even when my k850i is on the loudest volume with mega bass on its the same . nokias are promising thats why they hold up the market on the top of the mobile world .

  • and u must be a sad lil man who gets pissed off when u hear the truth cuz as i have heard as many have said in comments on web sites w595 still got the key pad cracking problem that w580 had i dont know if its true or not but its others comments , i dont like w595 still anyway cuz its still the same looks and materials as w580 even with the keypad . and by worst quality nokia which nokias ur reffering to dont be childish . u havent even used a nokia ur self . :-)

  • i know this model hv some issues with key but no other sony model hv tht prob so better u keep tht rumour to your self tht w595 hv tht prob !!!!! w595 hv gr8888 build quality and nokia is garbage with poor quality material and really poor sound

  • my expirience with this model a year ago - * buttons get cracked after two weeks use eventhough ur not using those very much or even if ur not a hardcore texter * takes one or two weeks for the buttons to be repaired then again in a few weeks gives the same trouble * signal gets dropped most of the time * sudden restarts crashups * even the mobile shop owners will warn u about this product before u buy it from em they hate it cuz so many w580's get returend to em from the customers. the sucessor for this model is w595 still looks crap to me cuz some have mentioned even the w595 still got key pad cracking problems . waste ur money on something else with good quality - like the nokia 5610 xpress music . my point - the worst walkman product ever made by sony ericsson .

  • nokia 5610 xpress music is better on music quality all the way than the s.e. w580 dont take my word on it just get both and check out the music quality ull feel that the 5610 is better clearer .

  • i love this phone but the buttons keep givng up and it takes ages to be repaired

  • how do i activate the shake features

  • this phone is not worth buying if you are really thinking of buying a good phone its boady is very delicate and easily get damages and its internal parts two,its good features are its graphics,sound quality these are only the two good features of it

  • i am using this phone from past 1 year but i felt that i have done a big mistake by buying this phone and i would suggest not to buy this phone

  • i am using this phone from past 1 year i would not suggest anubuddy to buy this phone i have replaced the board of my phone atleast a twice then also after two months its shyows the same problem,ithink i have done the biggest mistake of my life by buying this phone i request you to not to buy this phone if you buy it you will raally feel sorry for it

  • I have this phone from about March of this year. The phone scratches very very easily which is not good at all. I love the look but after a few falls it becomes almost useless. The picture quality is not bad for someone who is not a "phone lover".

  • hi my name is sam i have this phone this is not good phone it is only actractive buttons are fancy buttons.i am using carefully you also by carefully igoing to buy motorola A810 which is good and cheep one it is touch screen

  • for the past 10 years i have changed more than 2 phones every year and i always keep 2 phones at the same time. but from everythhing i have tried this phone is the best. its 2 years that im using it and i didnt have any problems and even though i talk a lot on the phone during the day and i listen for hours to music the battery is still working fine.

  • hey there i have had this phone but thanks to my dad i havent used it..my dad wants to give me the phone back but after reading your messages im wondering should i ask my dad for a better phone im really worried if anyone has a opinion of what i should do i would be grateful...the phone would come into use cause i want to listen to music and i love to type messages so any suggestions on what other phone to get

  • Cracking keypad ...

  • THIS PHINE IS THE WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!! i would tell everyone not to buy this phone! i have only had this for a year and already i have had to send it back twice for repair and cant be bothered to send it back any more. Firstly the gap between the slider got larger...proberly due to trying to force the back off to get the the battery (very very hard to do without breaking the phone). The buttons are very weak...the return button on top had come unclipped from the side and now moves around...the middle enter button also does this. On the back of the phone the case (where it shouldnt come off) is falling off on one side (dispite attempts to push it back in in wont). The slider sometimes gets stuck and is stiff to push back down. The memory card frezes sometimes and doesnt recognise anything...will work if just taken out and in again. (still not acceptable tho). The battery sign tells you its low...then says is ok...then tell you its not..very confusing. It also frezes when you take the charger out. the phone has scratches and dents all over it as it is very weak and does so easily. I was also out in the rain with this phone in my pocket and now the sound is all crackly! I know..not a good idea to take it out in the rain..but it rains a lot in England and this has never affected any of my other phones. All in all very bad phone. Would strogly advise you to not buy this phone.

  • hi every1.. well i just wanna say this mobile phn. is good looking and i wud suggest everyone to have this phn...

  • hi there... well i have got a solution ...u can go to a sony eric showroom they will do that for u... bye

  • hi i have s small question can i chane the sound when i restart my w580i ???????

  • is the best

  • Mines been to the carphone warehouse repair centre 4 times. Piece of cra*. The loudspeaker is intermittant, which means the phone doesn't ring half the time, only vibrate. I will continue to send it back for repair until they realise it's a bum phone and give me something different. Don't see why I should settle for this poor service. This is the second SE I've had now with problems. Will not be buying a SE again.

  • hi,i hav a problem. there is a button by pressing which & shaking,we can change the song.but suddenly that button is not working?is there any solution?plz if any1 knows the solution, help me out..

  • okay, so i've had this phone for almost a year now. i pretty much hate it. its good if you DONT want your phone to last long. my friends have dropped it few times, the battery back door is broken, and the screen is seriously messed up. one drop and the screen darkened and now its hard to see in. if your a texter, dont get the phone. these keys crack easily.i should know. practically every key inside the slider part of my phone is cracked. as i said.good phone. but if your clumsy or text alot. dont get it.

  • i was scared when i purchased this cell for my dad today..but after seeing the reviews im relaxed.. hope this phone works well for a longer time...thank u everybody for ur opinions..

  • I was just about to buy this phone today but The SonyEricsson store says it's already phased out. T_T

  • I put music on to it but I can't use it as a ringtone

  • Okay, you want to change the language of your cell. Follow these things. Go to "MENU" and then "SETTING". In General option you can see "LANGUAGE". Now choose any one option like "PHONE LANGUAGE" or "WRITING LANGUAGE".

  • I have a little big problem with this cell ehehe... in fact, i speak spanish, but for some reason i changed the lenguage, now its in english, aaaaand... i dont know how to change it �.� . When it was new its was in Spanish lenguage but!, i dont know really how to change it again, has gsmarena a good hermano to answer meh? Pleaseee? *O* Greetings.

  • i used it for nearly 2 years.once i change to another brand nokia,(navigator6120)jus bcas of a little big screen (2.4").hmm.soon i could understand that i cannot be satisfied with any other brand.seW580i is a great phone.music quality is excellant.you believe it,last week i sold my nokia and bought a new w580i again in s stunning new jungle green colour.nokia fans may say i might select nokia music edition.even though it is not comparable with SE.i strongly reccomend SE W580i.

  • I've had this phone for 11 months and its just great. It's fast, great sound from speakers and headset. All buttons are fine. Style is just great, the lights and etc. Only problem, that i have is that the memorycard reader won't work sometimes. I have to take the memorycard out and but it back in and it works again. I'd give 9/10 to this phone. I recommend it!

  • i have one..it is really stylish and i am proud to have it..i prefer you one.

  • Is the cracking keys issue fixed already? I text about 70 messages a day. Do you think it's ok if I get his phone?

  • Did't like it. The keys started to come off after a few months. Also the batterey was hard to get to. I accidently bumper into a counter at school one day, and it completely screwed up the screen. I didn't like it al all. Plus it's really heavy.

  • I have that phone for almost 2 years and I can truly say. Damm good phone. I don't know why people saying bad stuff about that phone. Battery is good, if you calling few times a day, battery will keep for 3 - 4 days. Camera 2.0 is fine for the phone. Daytime photos are good enough. Sound is superb. Application are ok. Colorful display and that most important is this phone is really easy to use. Almost 2 years of using I can truly say that it was worth it to buy.

But after having for 2 months the keys started cracking in half and now they are all cracked and half of one key is off. I wouldn't recomend this for an avid txter. Also really hard to navigate. When my friends look at my phone the can't navigate at all i have to teach them.

  • This is one of the best phones I have ever owned! Excellent performance, excellent sound quality, excellent ringtone quality, excellent contacts management / ability to sync with PC easily, excellent battery life, excellent music player with shake control feature (just shake the phone to play another track randomly), reception is very good, what more would you want from a phone that is priced to be in the budget of any user. Camera is just a 2 MP but if you want a camera, please go buy yourself a full fledged digital camera, they are so cheap these days. I have a Fuji 8 MP camera that I bought for $120 USD that does all my photography needs :)

  • I have been using this phone now for about an year n faced no problem at all.A wonderful phone for music lovers and battery last longer than other phones.Wonderful clarity even with 2mp camera...its a good buy....

  • yap its a damm good mobile

  • I've had this phone for two years and it served me relatively well. I have a few buttons that are cracked as well but they still work just fine. The battery was awesome for the past two years. Talk time was much more than other phones I've had. I didn't make much use of the Mp3 options so I can't say much about that but the camera and video options always worked well. However, now after 2 years the phone decides to shut off randomly and takes a few mins to re-start. This happens when msging, when calling, anytime really. So now - I have to get a new phone sad as I am :(

  • this phone is great,i got mine a year ago and still its ok,,i havent brought it yet to any repair shop..and even when i've accidentally fell it, its still okay,,

  • sorry the colors are supposed to be seperate showing what colors are avail. not saying that its 149.99 for the pink its just sorry for the confusion.

  • Rogers NEW CUSTOMERS Rogers.com $10 Activation Credit (Web Only Offer) 1year : 249.99 Colors: Pink 2year: 99.99 Blue/Grey 3year: 49.99 White/Orange Red/Silver Full price: 299.99

  • Model: Sony Ericsson W580i Pink Purchased : 2007 Next model bought after this model : LG SHINE I had that phone, was very nice while it lasted. Unfortunatly it didnt last long ( 6-8 months only) First thing that went on my phones were the buttons on the number pad. they were cracking in half. I dont have any nails and i was a Newbie texter so a overusage or (using nails) isnt possible for that. Another thing was the side buttons - The menu buttons Left/Right aswell as the bottom werent working all the way. you would have to push down extremely hard in order to actualy enable the button to do what you want. The speakers when i slide open it would be alot louder and when i slide itclosed you can barely hear anything that comes out of it. Last and not least, THE FACEPLATE of the phone fell right off, ya thats right i could see what the phone was made of. Those are just the Cons of the phone ( when i got it ) The pros about it, it was a EXCELENT music player, very fast and the quality was great! i loved the earbuds. Aswell the camera quality thi its not much and no flash very good quality. aswell Loved the Pedometer ( shows how much you walk/distance and cal burned) over all it wasnt that much of a disapointment. i loved it while it lasted. i would say buy at own risk, tho this phone is pretty cheap now so if you need a phone that you need to use incase of emergency. go for it.

  • Great phone, very fast and very good looks! The camera and music are also very good! I also got the problem of the cracked buttons, but mine didn't drop off... Keypad works still fine for me after a year... Really a great phone

  • thanku

  • Didn't even last a year.

  • it`s great except the key pads that are cracked and not easily available for change

  • Amazing look and amazing phone

  • Heee the batt life on my new one doesn't last that much????

  • great phone ...its awesome !!

  • i have been reading that the keypad brokes up very frequently. so whats the solutions for this. can it be fixed with glu or gum or the only solution is the replacement of keypad and how much does keypad costs

  • My w580 have poor battery life!!!! waht is my phone problem???????

  • this phone has a ton of cool features, worth the price. however, the keys crack and fall out and its not very sturdy at all. overall its a good pick.

  • All of the above comments are right bcz i also have w580i its a very good handset the only problem that i face is its key buttons craks despite all that i like this phone.

  • i like this phone but just bought it a month ago. it's already starting to lose up at the head and it heats up easily. other then those still love this phones

  • i used to owned w580i. the keypad won't crack if you don't use your nail to press it. the camera and sound is totally gorgeous ! but, the batery's suck ! i could never play games while lstening to mp3! even though it's already fully charged! arghh. my w580 is already broke. it fell down and the screen broke. and also my keypad jam. i am not sure, but i can hardly press some of the keypads. i have repair it, but after a few weeks, it broke again.

  • This phone is so awsome. I have had it for almost a year and there is just one problem, the screen would go black when I was useing the buttons but for some reason it stopped doing that and it works fine again so really if anyone wants to get this phone and is to scared to buy it because the commets ,don't be scared it is a awsome phone. also the MP3 player is awsome.

  • this phone is gr8! although the keypads do drop off.. however, i drop the phone over 10times and its still working! every other functions are good too. Gr8 phone!!

  • i v w580i from july 08...it is fantastic fone... but some time when some 1 call me... ipress answer key, but cant ans d fone.......on the other hand it fell down from my hand 8-9 times it has broken too from a edge but it is working 100 percent performance,,,, on \\no obstacle

  • its really great. the phone is so cute and compact. it has really nice sounds. well, its a walkman phone!

  • Sony Ericsson told me in an e-mail that the phone is under a two year warranty, so you can send it to Sony Ericsson and they will fix it for free provided it's been less than two years since you bought it and if the fault is covered by the warranty. You can check with the shop where you bought it but they will probably charge now it's been a year.

  • i dont have this phone but i love w580.

  • I have had this phone for 3 yrs in pink, and never experienced any problems, the keypad is a bit hard to type text in but otherwise its great. As with all sony erisson phones the sound is excellent.

  • i had the black one and my sistet had the pink one the best one is black but its anoying as fuck it breaks eassilly and it gets anoying theres no point of this phone it should be canceled

  • battery pack up no.listining music amesing

  • I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS PHONE AND THESE ARE THE REASONS!: 1) I dropped this phone ONCE like from 3ft hight and the little button the white "back button" fell off 2)I charged the phone for one night and when I woke up the battery was still "0%" as in blank, if it is fully charged it is GREEN but when I woke up it was white meaning there was no battery (happened 10 times) 3)The keypad is really hard to control when you type texts 4) Bluetooth connections fail basic ally EVERYTIME I recommend people not to buy this phone if you are planning to use it for a long time. I only bought this phone for 5 months and this is what happened.

  • yes the keys on mine broke within a month i have done been through two of them now my second one's keys are already broke and now it's doing off the wall stuff turning cracy color's and going black for couple mins it sucks i would never get this phone again.

  • it just shut down and it can't be open sucks =.=

  • 352430025743439

  • this phone REALLY piss me off, i just stan by the phone n the batery just slowly drop. where the batery gone??? i didn't use it 4 call/game/music.SUCKK!!!!

  • I agree, this phone is quite sensitive to moisture. My LCD screen has gone blank coz of the moisture.

  • Need to speak to you regarding your concern.... can you call me on 9999159772, or can I get ur no.

  • it is not working

  • I have had the phone about 14 months and have had only 1 serious problem, and that is moisture damage. It appears this phone is extremely sensitive to any moisture, unlike any phone I ever had. Finally, Bluetooth function is down and can't be repaired. Other than this, ecxellent phone all the way around. Just wish I didn't encounter this stupid problem twice.

  • hey its a great phone had it for about a year, works fine for being a walkman. not camera, my 2 year old evens plays with it.sony ericsson rocks !!!!!

  • Do not take the back off! I tried so that I could get the sim card, and my back won't go on right anymore! =(

  • I have had two of these phones one in grey, keypad split and it felt loose sent it to sony and they repaired it within 5 days. The black one I have had since june 08 and it gets used for texting lots . Every phone has its faults but i love this model, the lights on it and the themes it has. its a really good phone for the price.

  • Dev, you are saying that the camera of the sony ericsson W580i is not so good. What do you expect? it's a walkman phone, it is designed for Music Lifestyle. Why dont you try the sony ericsson K850i Cyber-shot if you are looking for a good camera. I have this phone for 3 months now.

  • sony ericsson w580I this phone is bad very bad i have it goes in flight mode automatic after removing and again puting battrey it comes in normal mode sound quality is low level, keys r not so good, camera sucks very bad phone pls dont buy w 580 i it is the worst phone i have used in my life....

  • Had this phone for more than a year now and all was good untill a few weeks ago, the screen stopped working and now the whole phone just doesnt want to turn on at all! Im really annoyed and im NOT paying to get this fixed seeing as i didnt damage it myself, it jsut stopped working on its own! Can i get this fixed for free in the shop where i got it?

  • does sony ericsson replace the keypads?

  • Regarding this phone, here are some pros and cons i encountered after one month of using it: -the cons 1. yup, the keypad does break, but probably because of the frequent texting and gaming 2. NOT "drop-proof". first time i dropped this had some small chips but still functional 3. Video is really not that good compared with other phones -the pros: 1. awesome slide phone. the style and design looks great 2. excellent features. you can do a lot with this phone. shake feature is cool too 3. clear and crisp camera

  • hi this is so good phone do u know that?

  • hey everyone i just wana say this is an awesome phone but mostly for the music and unfortunately the web browser isnt that excellent as a nokia e71 but still is a great phone . . . . . the only thing that put me off was the poor keypad :( other than that NOTHING!

  • its a very smart n a cute it has a les weight n agood camera result n its a perfect for young girls

  • it is very bad for soundand camera clarity then it s internet connections is very fast then a simple good phone and its very hot deal

  • Its a very stylish ,slim,slide i have been using this mobile past 1 year and it has not given any type of problem about keypad or display it is awsome mobile those who want buy this can buy it without any fear or tension

  • i had this phone before it lasted me a godd little while and took quite a few drops and functioned perfectly anyways the buttons have cracked after text messaging frequently over a one year period but regardless it didn't effect the function of the phone in any way i would recomend it its a new model but it gives what it offers

  • I really wanna get this phone. But the comments are just making me think twice if I'm gonna buy it or not. It just looks so cool! I feel like I wanna ignore those comments and buy it but I'm scared. Do the keys really break even if you're careful?

  • I have had this phone since it came out, close to/if not 2 years. I drop it probably at least a thousand times a day, and it keeps right on ticken! The only thing i've noticed is that the sound is definatly not what it was when it was brand new, and all the keyboard buttons, (with the exception of 0 and *) are cracked. The only one that I have any dificulty with is the pound key which sucks since it is also the space key. All in all, I love this phone, but I do know someone that has had nothing but problems with hers from the start.

  • hey i hd dis same mobile .... i lost it a few days back .... can somebody help me track it ... i have the imei no. da serial no. n everything ..... plzzzzzzzz help me track it!

  • red or grey

  • cuanto sale este celular, donde dice el precio?

  • Hey, i've had this phone for just over a year now. It has been a very good phone and i like it. Just afew problems though. 1)About 4 months after i had got it, the camera stopped working, it still doesn't work. 2)It doesn't handle well to being dropped, and it doesn't help when you have butter fingers. After it was pushed out my hands the back pretty muck broke off and the power button fell down the back, i had to, turn it on and off with a pen. I have now given up on this phone and i am looking for a new one.

  • heyy...cn sum1 plz tell me whethr dis w580 or da w910 is bettr??? plzzzz...cz i cannot decide on one cz dey both look great.. Tnx!

  • am using 580i back of 1 yr and really a vry good exp. awsome phone

  • i don't know why so many people tell only bad things about SE phones. i've using w580 for nearly 7 months n i use text message very often,but never been faced with ANY types of prb. So plz don't be alarmed.

  • I had this phone for only a year and It cannot handle being dropped, or even any minor damage. My buttons cracked, the screen and the front cover come off and the buttons actually slide out. Then the buttons broke of completely awful phone don't get it, you will get sick of it so soon

  • I just bought one, despite all the warnings. It just looks so good. Even the newer W760a just doesn't look as good. Hopefully mines will last a few months before the keyboard problems start.

  • i really wanna have this phone but i'm having a hard time dealing with those opinions i read..all of them are having problems with their keypads..badly i'm a text addict that's why i'm scared if the keypads would break easily..but i'm still looking forward to buy this phone..how i wish the keypads won't break..

  • nice look , good options , very very very bad keypad quality , keys stoped working 4 month after i got it , it didnt fall down ,it just stopped working

  • Hi I know that problem is usual with sony ericssons, its a simple fix just get a software update and it should be fine. You could even do it yourself by going on to sony ericsson.com

  • I love this phone. I think it's a really cool phone. Nice memory, nice picture, amazing functions. My keys are fine. I have just had 2 problems tho: 1. My daughter got ahold of it and squeezed it (she was only like 9 or 10 months) and it wouldn't slide open very easily. It took a LOT of messing with before it finally worked right again. 2. I've had it for not even 4 months and the screen randomly went crazy. Sometimes when it's closed, it's fine....but when I open it, the screen has crazy stripes and it turns black or it flashes or the picture is distorted....You can still use the phone, you just have to constantly close it to see what you're doing...(sometimes the screen is messed up even when closing it and you have to turn it off and on) Overall, I would give it a 4 out of 5. Like I said, it's a great phone.....the only issue I had is the screen issue. I think the price could be lowered a bit tho. OH!!!! and when you set a theme that uses different light colors on the sides, after a day or so they change back to green.

  • nokia is the best in qualtiy and performance but beauti carries matter sony ericsson is best for beauti

  • Which color should I get? The black or the white one? Kinda confused...

  • i agree...very good phone but too brittle keypads! no matter how careful you are...it'll break soon. harharharhar

  • Its brilliant phone particularly its display resolution and sound quality.

  • I look after my phone, haven't dropped it, don't press the keys hard when I text or anything.. It's just a design flaw.. whether you've had your phone two weeks or two years, it will probably get a cracked keypad or soft keys falling off at some point.. If they have solved the problem why are people still having problems?? In all other aspects the phone is brilliant, very impressed with the sound quality.. I just wish I never bought it!!

  • i have been using this phone for more than 5 monthes when i bought it it got down after 20 days but it was in warranty so i contact to the company they tried to fix it but it was not repairable so they gave me the new one now its working properly one thing that i like in this phone its sound and looks

  • Can you explain about HOW to take care of it? lol i mean the keys. I've heard the keys get cracked due to the over-heating of the keys while the phone is charging. I soo wanna get this phone.

  • I would say dis is one of the best phones out there!i've had this phone for two months and it looks like i just got it!plus it plays music loudly!

  • man whts the rate

  • I've had mine for over a year and a half. Dropped it and everything and have had no problems. I love my phone.

  • OK THE PHONE IS A GREAT PHONE. it wont break if you take care of it. when you get mad, and text hard, by pushing extremely hard on the keys, then yes it will break the keys, like all phones the sony ericson w580 is fragile, I have had mine for almost a year, and the ninth month i had it, i threw it against the wall, the screen broke. so my point is, buy the phone, but respect it.

  • I liked the look of this phone so much I decided to ignore everyone's warnings about the keys... The keypad split within two weeks, sony ericsson fit a new, stronger one which has not broken but now the soft keys are falling off and the software is messed up! I've only had it 6 months! I've learnt my lesson! I'm confused why shops still sell this phone as all batches seem to be faulty!

  • This phone is by far the best Sony Ericsson I've had and I'm quite a big Sony Ericsson fan indeed. However, this phone is mainly for persons who care their phone well, since problems such as cracked keys, malfunctioning screen, main board crash etc are a result of negligence or carelessness on the part of the phone. April 4th '09 will make it one full year I've had my W580 and it only started giving trouble when it took a dive in the sea with me. I was extremely upset for days since I was unexpected thrown in the sea with the phone. The phone is currently down for the past month due to needing a new main board. I'll fix it back really soon, sell it for less than the going price and buy myself a new W580 and cherish it as I always do my Sony Ericssons. :D

  • idk wat yall are talkin bout i've had this phone for a year now and all my keys work i guess its just operator error

  • OH MY... I cannot believe this, i was thinking of buying this phone but not after the comments i've read. oh gosh i've gots mxit, so i cant be having problems with the keypads.. i'm sorry but i love my mxit too much, i can't give it up by buying this phone!!!

  • Dont buy this phone it is a complete waist of time. It has been in the repair shop more than i have had it. keys cracked, keys falling off, software problems over and over total rubbish

  • Anybody having cracked keys? Cuz I soo want this phone but then people keep on complaining about the keys .. m not much of a texter although. IF yes, can anybody state a way of preventing it? :S

  • Anybody having cracked keys? Cuz I soo want this phone but then people keep on complaining about the keys .. m not much of a texter although

  • yes u can set as ringtone the mp3 u put in it

  • Only if you get the phone unlocked, about $25 Can.

  • Yes, up to 4 GB. I am using the 2 GB now. Check out the SONY Eric specs page on this phone.

  • Can you make the MP3s you put in this phone as your ringtone? Please answer. Also i'm not much of a texter so this cell phone is ok for me right? I've heard people having keypad issues

  • Does this phone has stream?

  • Hey guys, I've got a K550i and i'm thinking of selling it and buying this one ... what do you guys think ? Should I or should I not?

  • i like this phone, more than nokia, the sound its really d best, little prob with the keypad but its ok.... if ur looking for a good sound specially in downloaded song bet u need to get this one..

  • within one week it created hanging problem

  • im using this one right now... its cool.. but the keypads broke quickly... hmpf

  • you have no idea how good the phone is :(

  • awesome phone strong absouletly amazing. i reccomend you to buy it. buttons light up so you can use it anywhere dark and you can turn down the light so you can increase standby time

  • i think it is a real useful and excellent phone and you just have to be careful when pressing the keypad because it is easy to break and stick

  • yea nice sat. but charg sait is very bad.i ma very fadap.

  • Im going to buy the W580. Why? Because its a phone thats have A LOT of features (Good camera, Good video, Bluetooth, Java, VERY Good Operating system, good apps, good MP3 player and Sony Ericsson Support). Thanks

  • Es un muy buen tel�fono, pero lamentablemente es muy delicado, ya tengo 4 teclas rotas y eso que no lo ocupo para jugar, ademas que la tableta del teclado externo se desgasta r�pido, ya se me arruinaron 2 y ahora debo pagar $50 por una nueva, es muy delicado este modelo, en especificaciones es buen�simo.

  • I would not suggest this phone. I am on my second one and it is garbage. Humming sound, freezes on me..

  • This is the worst quality phone I've ever seen.I have it for almost a year and a half, and almost every month I had to repair it, every time for a different reason.VERY BAD QUALITY PHONE...DON'T BUY IT YOU'LL REGRET.

  • hello i what to buy now ok

  • Good Phone But the buttons are very bad and also The battery

  • Try to debrand it. You'll enjoy this phone. So much! :)

  • best part of the phone music quality..... worst part every thing .....like other sony phone... PLEASE......PLEASE FOR GOD SHAKE DONT BUY THESE PHONE....

  • yea, this phone was great, sound and picture qualty is awesome.... unlike other phones it hangs and sometimes file reading is much slower than this phone...

  • Hello please tell me about the gprs how it works with this handset.....!

  • I loved the phone... Your picture,your music,about memory its very good...

  • the worst phone ever in the history Alexander Graham Bellwouldnt even use this, turns off keypad breaks off, scrathes itslef, warranty sucks on it turns off can go on for days

  • yes there is jungle green color of w580i and s500i green is different

  • there is green version of this phone

  • the green version is s500 not a walkman and yes its better ot at least i think its prettier... besides you can flash it and turn into a w580

  • ooh my god this phone its the worst of the worst it does work it always turn off itself the keypads are folling off it cant receive text messages or even send it might say send but the person wont receive it. this is the most annoying phone ever. ho wcan you help i have returned it once and know i have send it back for repair.

  • Hi used this almost for a year. Irritated much by frequent hang and restarts. Except software going mad, everthing else is so great. but you won't be able to use though.

  • its great...i liked the picture and sound quality very much.

  • This type model phone are used by my girlfriend..but i now just use nokia n73me... heart are now complicate want to change the phone same to girlfriend or not.. this problem very terrified me..But sony w580i look very good and stylish but my friends says that the button will cramping after long period time of using it...I now also use sony c905..c905 is good in camera but its button very hard tp press..type message the response slightly slow..and the slider no tough enough and got some loose in the slider...Forgot to tell you all my girlfriend name is Chong Shu Ming..and my name is Kent..haha..I now planning to buy w580i phone.. girlfriend is more important than phone...haha..guy is that correct????

  • very good phone. features are really functional. with it's current price, it's quite reasonable...there's just one major downside with this phone - KEYPAD! it's too brittle. i know others would disagree but hey, there's only a few of you. generally speaking, the keypad needs extra extra extra care. mine cracked in just a matter of two weeks since i bought it!

  • the green version is the best.............it s really cool and rally preety

  • it sucks . my bestfriend Iman Aslan used this and it sucks just like the owner . the button are cramping . and the battery drained so fast .

  • About Nokia, I sure agree with you, the old ones are way better than the new models. The last Nokia I had was N70 and it was my best and my worst phone... My best for 2 weeks then the battery life killed all the joy I had... Now I'm about to buy this Sony Ericsson W580... I've heard some reviews... I'm not sure now...

  • its hard to text on it because youre fingers hit the bottom of the part that slides up but other wise its a good phone

  • Battery consumption is too fast. talk is ok but when we use as music player then battery drained very fastly.

  • Its really a cool set. Nice slider look and feel is excellent. But its firmware is little bit slow and sometime halt. I personally face the firmware halted problem.

  • Sony Ericsson W series is excellent except w580 because this is the most faulty cell in w series.

  • Fine but not excellent, camera driver halt sometime

  • how much is the expandable memory to this model... though the co. is giving an 1GB card included?

  • This a great phone I had it for more than a year and is working like the first day , it is unlocked and work around the world perfect, never had any problem I use with de S-60 speakers and the music is great I really recomended

  • Yes it is possible actually it is the maximum memory capacity that it can hold.

  • I bought this product just three days ago and after that its starts showing up some defects like it drains its battery in less than a day and I would have to charge it twice a day. And the shake control thing that it has it is not working like I almost throw it away when I was using the shake control of it and it is not changing the songs at all. Its a piece of crap although it has very outstanding features, well some of its features its not even working...the quality of the pictures is relatively clear but this is not the only thing that you need for a phone right..and the technical service that they have its a crap....=C

  • my service provider give me gprs and it is working and when it get to a stage the gprs delete automatically

  • Hey Shiva, I am using this phone for past couple of months now. No such problem as many peaople are writing, like breaking of keys. The sound & picture quality is very good. Only problem is battery life, my phone usage is not much but I play games a lot and the battery lasts for only 2 days.

  • its just best

  • I don't wish any1 no buy this fone, 'cz it's very fragile, the keys on my phone are breaking and... it's turning off by himself!

  • For the music its the best one and also the ear phones rocks.the cam of dis mob is awesome man,for d look its the best piece ever with lightin effect on side.the cam is is safe beside slide so the lens cant b damaged

  • Hi frnds, I wanted to take w580. so can u please help me out abt the phone, how its working and what u can suggest me to take phone, i am waiting for your reply Thanks in advance

  • my name is venkey. i taken sonyw580 on january2009.basically it is a slider phone so good for looking and cemera clarity is too good but it's alwayas swithoff and hangout when memory is overload so dont buy this phone piz piz

  • it's a really beautifull phone

  • i used this fone for like 3 weeks oredi.after using for 2 weeks plus,when i was sms-ing,i noticed dat i nids to press the "space" button abit harder than before.but,i love this fone very much cuz its unique,both of the sides gt light.speaker is loud and clear.small and slim. =p

  • Had this phone less than a year, buttons stopped working :(

  • this phonw is nice but the camera in not that good.... XD

  • Battery problem unable to work whole the day it has to be charged twice a day

  • The best phone ever! For a not so expensive phone, it's got great features. The camera really works great! Very clear images and many light effects to choose from. The sounds work perfectly! Very loud speakers. I like it's design, very sophisticated and hip. Now, the common problem I've read are the keypads. Well hate to burst your bubble, my keypads still look and work perfectly! :) I've had this for a long time and not even one key was damaged. You shouldn't use your nails for texting. Use your nails for scratching your back. I'm happy I've switched to sony ericsson. :) Waaaaay better than Nokia. :)

  • its a good set which has all the features required for a good mobile....the mobile sound clarity is too good and the head phone music just rocks...awesome bass effect .......the camera is also good... after using it for one year starts the problem with the keypads... one of the left key is not working at all... and the head set cable is giving lot of trouble...i can hear to music on only one side of the head phone... its not the head set problem coz i cheked dat out with other new head sets... the problem is that it dosent fix properly inside the mobile......overall its a good set....looks of the mobile is tooo good.....so guys think twice before u buy this set....i shared my experience....

  • The worss cell ever, the buttons break, the internal electronic dont work very well

  • great for music but the memory card port gives trouble

  • The phone has a variety of glitches. The phone does have a very plasticy feeling. Everything is fragile, and if you are not careful, you could break it in about a week. The keys are flimsey, and over time they will start to crack and probably cease to work. The hands-free (or whatever it's called) works well at first, but the phone will struggle to recognized that the application is plugged in. I've had the phone for about a year and a half, and the screen will start to glitch. It will turn different colors, and work fine but the screen will be distored. The phone also has a tendency to occasionally just freeze or black out. The internet browser in very annoying, as you will spend an amount of money paying for internet you phonse has used without even having pressed the button to connect to the internet. Sometimes the backlight will not go off, i don't know why. But then this happens you just mess with it a little. The little memory chip you intsert at the top of the phone is also very sesitive, and you will find your self jiggleing the top in attempt to get the phone to recognize that the card is in there slot, so you can play your music. The battery life is good, and as long as you arn't a big caller, you're ok. Most people I know with this phone have not been able to keep it very long. I must say, I am getting sick of this phone. The fetures are very nice, but I dislike how the phone isn't mean to be the phone of a carpenter or a construction worker. It's a very, flimsey phone.

  • i think its one of the best cell phone u will be very happy its cheap i tryed lots of cell phone this is the cheapest and the best cell talk as much as u can has so much stuff best pictures iam telling you its great i dont care if you buy it really dont this is just the way i think i am trid of people buying the wrong cell phone what else u need longest talking than any other cell,best pictures , best sound,take it to workout ,running,its great

  • To all SE owner. Secret message in service menu. At standby mode press > * < < * < *select service info,select model info then press 2,4,6,8 you'll be amaze =D (> right, < left, * asterisk)

  • Am using Sony Ericsson W580 from past 10 months, as i heard from the other feedback that this phone freezes,mine phone was never freezd till date,and i agree that the buttons are very much delicate and it brokes,but the good thing i felt using this mobile is,its sexy look and the side colours and the camera is pretty well and music is too too good and its very loud, if you want to feel the real music kindly use the creative ep-630 earphones, this phone is not that that much delicate as other people say.........

  • no

  • Got the W810. GREAT PHONE, lasted 2 years until I went swimming with it. Used my insurance to replace it, but it was disco, got the W580 "upgrade". First thing, go out and buy a $50 card because it doesn't come with one. The slide cracked 6 days later, replaced it and bought an expensive case to protect it. 2 weeks later the LCD screen fuzzed out, replaced it. 1 month later, the keys cracked even though I never text, replaced it. Began treating the phone like fragile glass, 3 months later the paint is wearing off the key pad, and the slide is loose. Hey, but it has really cool lights on the side. YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

  • best amongst i hv ever seen mobiles......but the key jus spill out even u use it wid intense care. otherwise gr8 phone.......

  • Had my phone 3 months before plastic face keys fell off. I had to pay additional to replace it(same phone) and these keys are already loosening to break. I don't abuse or even use my phone to excess and believe this is a manufactor issue that should be looked into by Sony Ericsson. Fantasic phone if the quality were better.

  • you need to get a grip this phone is balls, i had 3 of them in 2 weeks and i wasen pushing the bottons hard at all and my missus was the same, i know a number of people who has the same problim, the phone is crap has crap features 1 word to discribe it, BALLS!!!!

  • i like this phone but the problem is it has no flash.

  • I purchased 10 months back, 3 times i sent for servicing, it't tooooo delicate to handle. But the service is very bad &Carelessness. buttons &bottom sides r cracked, service peoples r asking for extra money (but warrenty period is not over). sometimes it 'll hang, sometimes keys r not working. Only the plus point is Good Music. That's all.

  • I bought before 7 months. The stylish mobile with awesome features and rocking music. Everything is fine and good. The only problem is the keypad buttons are cracked and broken. I contacted the authorized Sony Ericsson Service center. Since my mobile is under the warranty period they agreed to replace the keypad in free of cost. Also they assured me that the replaced keypad will be a good quality one and will not have any problems in future.

  • Y'all keep bagging on this phone because the buttons are cracked! Well just think they wouldnt be cracked if you took care of the phone! Its not a toy and if youre gonna diss this phone in any way dont do for a reason that you caused! I think this phone is great ive had it for several months and its as good as new! The keys arent even close to cracking. Nothin on my phone is cracked and the whole thing is perfectly clean. The phone has a wide selections on the menues and templates. It has the right sound of speakers where you can hear your phone loud and clear. This phone is a great size, not to small like a samsung juke, and not to big like razr. It has a big enough screen unlike the juke and not to big either. The keybord is smooth but well spaced not like the juke or black berry, and it is capable of going through accidentle drops, the juke and blackberry, and Razr are very protective of that too. All of the phones i mentioned are very nice so stop bagging on the walkman!

  • This phone has extremely POOR quality i reccomend it to no one the keyboard is ridiculus i had it just for one year and i am getting a new one due to the uncomprhensive ludicris of this phone it is a watse of money! Do not buy I REPEAT do not buy!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me i am saving you the hardship and the money....

  • is this a shake control phone???

  • does the camera of w580 has autofocus?

  • lol and we should believe what you say because we completely understand everything you said.

  • last 8 months back i bought this phone.the joy stick buttons was broken and automatically cut the phone calls and automatically switch off phone was restarted the comany was concetrate this things to satisfied the people

  • This phone is crap! brought it about 8 months ago, and 2 keys have cracked already. sony ericsson phones are meant to be the best arent they?!? i had one before and it was 10x as good as this one i hvae got now. i am currently looking for a better one. help?!?

  • Add 3G

  • dont recomend it to anyone my keys broke then my hash button wouldnt work the my back button stoped work and the one time i dropped it off ma bed the screen stoppeed working its too frigile i know 3 others that had this phone and they dontrecomend it as well

  • phone is very sexy, shape aslo so cute. but my mobile keypad (joistic and shortcut key's) has been cracked with in 15 day. kindly find the solution for this. hopes company will understand customer satisfaction...

  • After three replacements courtsey of my carrier, I finally received a W580i that functioned as it should. For more than a year, this little multi-functional handset has proven to be a handy device. Pros: 2.0 Megapixel Camera Radio MP3 Player Mass Storage Device Capability Lows: Sound Quality

  • hahah never evr buy dis fone cauz ihz crap.By the way ppl did yew nuh dat from al dah pohne comapies ericsson iz dah worst 1 becaus it has 2 many software problems n dah best is samsung beace it has least probles. so you should personaly from my view never buy an ericsson fone becasue dey hav 2 many sotware problems n 2 b honest wid yew dah onli gud things about ericsson fones r dah dat is dah onli company dat makes walkmans if any other company made walkmans den never in my life w ould i buy a fone from them. and regarding dis fone W580

  • How is the screen size of this phone 2"? I measured mine and it was 2.2 and not 2.0. And comparing it with other 2" phones like W810i and N72 it is alot longer although same in width. And I got cracked keys in mine too and now i am happier than before because the middle part is raised and the pressing it is easier. Pin thos phone along with the Media Manager software and songs at AAC+ 92kbps and this phone is a real winner. And the camera lens is hidden and the back cover almost never gets scratched because it is raised. This phone RULZ!!!

  • wonderful design huh?! i praised to be the user of dis phone! no more could i say,juz the real satisfaction which i retrieve since my purchase on this awesome model

  • i bet this brand new model are too awesome in the aspect of the design,shape and the colour also attractive;besides its speaker could be listen in pleasant condition where it was built sharply on the center of the button.it made it's unique than the other.i juz disatisfied with the performance of the CRACKED! keypad which occured either softly touched or harsh indeed.it juz lessen my performance of typing the text tremendously which i owns.however,i mostly support this model,w580i!

  • Do not get this phone unless you are verrrrrrrry careful and do not need it for long term. The buttons are verrrrrry fragile. I had mine for almost a year, then it vibrated and fell off a 3 foot counter onto CARPET and the screen stopped working. If you get this fone be verrry careful with it, but overall it was a good fone, but not worth as much as it costs

  • ive had this fone for about 1 and a half years overall its design is sleek and sexy awesome colours too however the keys are weak and break easily and the camera is ok. music quality is awesome and very loud however sometimes it just randomly freezes if you use it alot battery life lasts about 1 and a half days. overall i would give it a 6/10 and rather consider buying a w980

  • its the wonderful set but key pad is not usable

  • i hav s500, isn't it look same model with tis phone?? s500 keypad has a really2 bad material, same by tis one..and my fren hav same problem with it. KEYPAD CRACKING ONE BY ONE..

  • cool phone wit sexy design sony rokz asusual

  • had two units, both screens went blank, had one replaced by att, other one will try to get fixed. dont buy this one

  • I have had this phone-in green- since June of '08 and it has been nearly perfect! It does occasionally freeze, but not for long. I text like crazy and I have never had any problems with the keypad or anything else! Im also really careless when it comes to phones, I have thrown this thing across rooms, down carpeted stairs, at walls, it's been stepped on, and it's always in my back pocket so Im always sitting on it. I love, LOVE IT! I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT! -Jordann!-

  • You can't use the bluetooth for the radio because the headset works as an antenna for the radio. The bluetooth wouldn't get a signal. -Jordann!-

  • i think its an alright phone... just recently bought it i have had no problems with it so far luckily enough!

  • Hi, Even me also facing same problem. service centre they are asking money for service, but mobile is till under warenty. very bad experience about this mobile.

  • hi, Even me also facing same problem on this mobile. keep and keep on giving problem. My mobile is under warenty but show room they are asking money for service. very bad experience about this mobile.

  • my phone does not work at all when i push the on button it just doesn't turn on.. i wanted to charge it but it doesn't appear anything on the screen,...i don't know... it does...nothing..

  • really a good phone... does everything its supposed to. the walkman/mp3 player feature is almost perfect (would like more volume/eq controls and maybe a visualizer (real one). the camera is kinda cheap, it might look "ok" during the day, but its ugly during the night... probably the worse of it its the lack of auto-focus. (or any focus at all). the internet Browser is good too (actually very good to NOT be a smartphone). theres some ppl in the internet complaining about the keys braking.. so be careful with the usage (havent happened to me yet.. but im gentle) i bought a 2gb m2 card and it works perfectly, dont know if anything higher will work on it. PROS: sweet design, speaker is loud, very good mp3 player and call audio is very good too CONS: lack of wifi support (then again this is not a smartphone), lack of focus and/or light for pics (flash) other comments: i would totally recomend it if you dont care about the pics quality.. and its very cheap.
