Bought this phone from Virgin Mobile on a £12 contract. My old phone was going crazy and decided it was time for a change. After hours of internet research i arrived at this phone, The W580i. And what a phone...
First off. The screen off an excellent screen gives you a high quality visula experience, great for viewing photos and videos. The 2MPcamera is brilliant however the video quality is not so spectacular. The video quality lowers slightly, still viewable but not as good as the camera quality.
It's sleek design and stylish flick at the bottom gives the phone a very smooth look. However the plastic used to create the phone does make it feel cheapish. But the accesories included definatley make up for that.
The walkman feautre is ecellent, its user interface is somewhat simlar to the Sony PS3, remarkably simple to use, the sound quality poduced is brillaint, exteremly loud from such a small phone. Its a pocket size boombox. Also included in the walkman feature is a shake control system which involes you holding down a button and flicking your wrist. This then changes the song you are listeing too.
Volume control is simple, just on the side of the phone etc. The keypad is excellent, nice size buttons and is very easy for texting.
Other features in this phone include a built in Pedometer which measure how many steps you take while your phone sits in your pocket. This also tell you how far you have walked in miles and how many calories you have burnt. You can change some of the settings in this to make it uch more accurate.
The phones come with a memory card already put in the phone, this enables you to have a high number of song, pictures, videos etc. The user interface is very easy to use and very well designed.
This phones battery at first was terrible, lasted me about 10 hours on first charge, but as it use it more and mre the battery seems to be lasting longer. The battery is also dependant on how much you use the walkman and camera etc.
Overall I would definatley recomend this phone. It provides high quality feautres with a very nice looking phone.
