 Great phone, but poor quality December 8, 2008
D. Bezboruah (Los Angeles, CA United States)
I have had the w580i for 1 year, 2 months now and I have enjoyed using the phone and most of its features. However, during that time I have experienced several quality issues. One of them (the ear speaker died) was probably isolated to my unit. But I also had my keypad crack twice. The cracked keypad seems to be a common issue with this model, just search online about it. I had to send in the phone twice for warranty repairs. Now, the left soft keys (select/back) have stopped working. Another search revealed this to also be a common flaw also. My warranty has run out, so Sony Ericsson will not fix this. Fortunately, there is a workaround by pushing hard on the area between the navigation keys and the LCD screen (where there is either the 'W' logo or the at&t logo), then the keys will work.
The bottom line though is that this phone has some serious quality flaws and therefore I do not recommend purchasing this model anymore. I give it 2-stars since the phone is still a very nice slider design with excellent software/interface.
 Deceiving November 3, 2008
M. Markgraf (Chicago)
I would not recommend this. Don't be fooled by some of the cool features.
The phone looks cool, the music part is awesome. BUT - the phone is extremely fragile and prone to unexpectedly dying out - forever.
Three weeks after the first one I owned, it did just that - completely die. busted. wouldn't turn back on.
So I called ATT and had them send me a new one (for a fee of $20!). Okay, fine, maybe I had a faulty phone, right? The second one is worse. The buttons fell off and I can no longer see the top half of my screen. Trying to place a call in the daylight is a joke - can't see anything when the sun reflects off the screen.
You may be thinking 'well, he's reckless with the phone.' I'm not. Never dropped it, never washed it accidentally, never gave it to a small animal. It's literally falling apart in my hands.
I don't even know what to recommend, but it's not this. The Walkman part is cool, but you'll need a memory card if you want to make it like an iPod. You'll also need to pay for the internet connection to use most of the features anyway.
Before I bought this phone, I read all the reviews on here. I really wanted it to be a good phone. I already had a phone, but I wanted to get something nice. Trust me, this was not worth it.
Walkman FM radio +++ but small keypad November 2, 2008
Mother of Twins
I bought this phone because it had Walkman FM radio, too. This phone is pretty (I got the PINK one), lightweight, has lots of whiz-bang menu selections, but doesn't wow or impress me as much as the Samsung A737 or Samsung A747 models which I bought for my children. I listen to the radio a lot, more than MP3s and really thought this feature would be cool. If you like effects, it has 16 settings for flashing light patterns customized for every caller. It takes a day to find out how to set the patterns in all the menus....
The keypad is a bit on the small side, and feel like dry plastic. It's OK for me because I have small hands, but I don't think a man would enjoy using the small, non-descript keys. The letters on the keys are hard to see being so small. When I enter text, I still have to look--er, squint--at the keypad. I don't pay for texting service, so it's not a huge hassle, but if you text, I can't imagine it would be much fun.
When I enter an phone number in the address book, it doesn't put hyphens between the area code, prefix, and last four digits. That's not fatal, but a pet peeve, and makes it difficult for me to figure out the numbers as they come up.
The M2 Memory Stick is not common, but Sony Ericsson uses it. They supply a 512MB one. Buying one with more memory will not be cheap. The access slot is on the top. It took me a while to figure out how to open the little, flat plastic door. Which side to open? It doesn't have a flap, can't open with a fingernail, so I use an unfolded paper clip or other similar-sized object to pry it open.
You need the wired earphones to have FM service. If you like radio, it's just one more thing to carry around. The sound quality is EXCELLENT on this wire unit and the ear buds very comfy. It also works as "handsfree" phone device if you don't want to do Bluetooth.
The display, although narrow, is bright and sharp. The sound is good, and it interfaces well with my Bluetooth earpiece and Palm device. The phone is very lightweight and slim. I dropped it a few times but the case didn't scratch or crack. The pink IS pretty, and has little red "jewels" between the number keys (other color models have different color jewels). The speaker phone option works well and is clear to hear. The slider is a little unusual to work at first, but works very nicely. Sony Ericsson phone support is SUPER, too.
DO NOT PURCHASE!! October 18, 2008
Nicole Claessens
I bought this cell phone from an authorized retailer. I usually do not write reviews (this is my first), but I feel like I should let people know this is not a quality product. In the first couple of months, the keys cracked on the phone. When I called they told me I would have to pay for the warr. service. I was told that this was a "known issue" with the phone. I got the new phone, and the keys are cracking AGAIN. It does random things like turn off by itself. This was not a referb. and I would recommend staying away from this phone. I am stuck in my service contract until 6/2009 and will have to baby this fragile phone until then!
