Advantages: great design, great music capabilities Disadvantages: deletes numbers and other media
When i recieved my W580i, i was excited packed with good music features great easy to use menu, good design. Its got an interesting blogging feature as well as a good camera, video camera. It also has an inetersting feature called the Track id record a few seconds of music and TrackI returns the song name, artist and album to your phone within seconds.
However the specs were a little dissapointing as i learned later on. The 12 MB memory lasted only a short time and i had to buy additional memory.
Aside from this it seemed to delete my playlists of it's own accord and some of my phone numbers went missing too. Might have been a fault with my phone in particular however a friend of mine also had the same issues.
My advise would be go for the even better spec W595a its got loads more specs without the bugs. ...
Advantages: Music Quality, Apps, Picture Quality, Sleek Features Disadvantages: Battery Life, USB jack
The sony ericsson w580i is the best walkman phone with a value for money that is available in the market. It has all the compulsory sony ericsson features and apps including photo dj and music dj and even has a 2 MP camera for your photo needs.

The keys are very suitable to any person who has used sony ericsson phones before and the picture quality is excellent. However the battery is a major downpoint in the phone. Using the net and listening to music quickly drains the battery. One more disabling feature is the fact that the headphone usb and charger are all in 1 jack making multi-tasking impossible. But non the less its a cool gadget to keep by. ...

I bought the Sony Ericson W580i as a gift for my daughters 13th birthday, and she loves it. We got her the pink one which was exclusive to Orange shops, so it had to be on an Orange pay as you go, which caused some problems as they refused to offer the texts deal they were advertising at the time.
Anyway onto the phone which my daughter mainly uses to listen to music, and make occasional calls to let us know where she is, and text her friends. All of the basic functions are easy for her to use (if not for us old fogies to use) and the 2.0 megapixel camera is ideal for quick snapshots of her and her friends and sisters when they're doing something silly.
It all fell down when the keys started cracking though. After 3 weeks of use the first of the number keys cracked, followed quickly by 2 others. We then had problems with the shop we ...
