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

 Written on January 26, 2008 Summary: Cracked keypad problems not fixed! Before buying this phone, I did a lot of research. I read tons of Amazon reviews, CNET reviews, random web reviews---you name it. While everyone went on about how well-designed the phone was, they DID complain about the keypad breaking. I called Sony Ericsson myself and spoke with a representative from there. He stated that the broken keypad issues occured with the first batch of the w580i phones and that I should rest assured knowing the problem had been addressed and fixed. I thought to myself: how hard could it really be to completely fix a broken keypad and replace it with one that doesn't have the slighest chance of breaking? So, I went along and ordered the phone. To my dismay, not even 3 weeks later, I noticed three of my buttons on the phone's keypad had broken! I guess the representative didn't know what he was talking about. While the phone has a ton of great features (which I'll save you the trouble of reading; past reviewers have raved about it all enough) and a very good battery life, to me that's no good if the keypad is going to break after only 3 weeks. Out of all the phones I've ever had in my life, I have never once had the keypad crack. What a shame, really. I will never trust a Sony phone again. I will be just fine with my Nokia and Motorola phones from now on. Written on January 24, 2008 Summary: A pretty cell phone but with some flaws I had this cell phone for about 3 months. This phone has many functions and also has a low range of digital camera which can be used occasionally for causal use. I gave this phone for a 3 stars for the following reasons: Pros: 1. thin, and pretty 2. lots of function. 3. comes with a built-in camera. 4. cheap, and strong signal (due to AT&T good broadcasting towers?) 5. with built-in mp3 player, and changeable Micro card. Cons: 1. The mp3 player does not work for other non-latin languages. I guess that the programmer has no idea that there are at least hundreds of languages other than English, Spanish, German. :) 2. The slot for the Micro card is not well designed. 5 out 10 times I have to press the card door to ensure the card readable so that MP3 files can be player, because mp3 files are stored in the Micro memory card! This is annoying!!  Written on January 23, 2008 Summary: Cool phone with great sound and loooong battery life. I really love the battery life of this phone. It lasts a good 8-9 hours talking and or listening to it as a MP3 player or radio. Great music phone with good built in speaker too. Comes with headphones also. Written on January 21, 2008 Summary: pretty good phone I have enjoyed this phone since getting. Music capabilities are pretty good for someone like me who is technologically challenged. One drawback for me was some of the pre-loaded games are identified as not compatible for down loading, go figure?!?!. The salesperson in the ATT store says give it a few weeks and it will be compatible. Sound quality is good, my husband always has me repeat things when were in the same room but he seems to hear me fine when we're on the phone. Written on January 12, 2008 Summary: Excellent technology built with inferior materials Pros: MP3 Player with great sound with and without earbuds, comparable to standalone mps players I own Bluetooth built in Internet is fast 2 Mega-Pixel camera with excellent quality photos and videos Fitness application which counts steps, calories, and records progress High Resolution screen Camera protected in slider Lots of Lights giving a cool futuristic look Slick look in general Shake and shuffle mode makes listening to your tunes easy and fun Memory card allows up to 4 gb of songs Video upload capablities Long talk time of 9 hours Great sound quality, the person on the other end of the phone sounds almost there Cons: I got mine last week and the 4 and 6 are cracked in half and the 7 is falling off also with little wear. The keys are made up of very thin plastic and crack if hit wrong; went to the AT&T store to find the store model also has cracked keys. The keys not only break easily with minor usage but are very crammed and you will find yourself punching in more numbers then desired The screen also isn't very well protected and very exposed which will most likely lead to future damage The whole body and frame is made of plastic and feels cheap and flimsy Memory card has to be a special one for sony phones only and are alot more pricey than the storage disk for competitor phones No flash on camera Bottom Line If you aren't a perfectionist, texter, or cellphone gamer and are looking for a cheap phone with incredible technology and mp3 playback and don't mind if the phone is cracked up this is the phone for you. If you are one of the previously mentioned look to the new lg shine cu720 slider phone offering almost all of the same functions in a stainless steel body and keys. It may be more expensive but it is worth it. It was not in sony's best interest to produce such a top of the line phone from a technological stand point and then skimp on the materials, they should of charged a little more to make a more durable, less delicate phone. |
