Sophisticated bluetooth headset -Sony Ericsson Bluetooth HBH-PV70

Advantages: Good sound quality, stylish design, easy to use, great price.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any.

...I purchased this bluetooth headset a few months ago and it has been really useful. I'm on my phone quite a lot, and it was a nightmare whilst I was driving and my phone went off. I decided I had to invest in a headset. There was so much choice in the internet so it was difficult to know what one to go after, and after reading a few good reviews for the HBH-PV700 I brought it. I own a Sony Ericsson phone and I've heard if you connect the two you get better results, although it works perfectly fine on any other phone. It was really simple to use. You only really had to turn it on, connect it to the phone with a simple bluetooth passcode (generally I think its always 0000) and then it was set up. It's easy to turn on and off, and if you turn it on with the phone in distance, then it automatically sets it up, so that if you get a phone...

Sony Ericsson Story...

Advantages: Good value for money, excellent sound, good quality camera
Disadvantages: Battery runs down quickly

...I have always had a Sony Ericsson phone eversince i brought my first phone when i was very young. I really like the make and have never had any problems with Sony Ericsson phones, however i brought the W580i sometime last year and have been a bit dissapointed with its performance. I brought the phone from the carphone warehouse as i could it on the network that i wanted and for the first 6 months everything was fine but all of a sudden i began to have problems with the screen. I took it back to the shop and was told that this was quite a common problem with this model of phone. It was sent off to be repaired twice and has been ok since *touch wood!* The walkman on the phone is brilliant, it holds lots of music and the sound is really clear, the camera quality is also very good. It is an ideal shape as it can fit in to your pocket easily...

My Sony Ericsson W580i

Advantages: Thin, Good Memory, Aesthetically pleasing, good value for money.
Disadvantages: Cover is worn quite easily, buttons crack quickly.

...I have had my Sony Ericsson W580i for around 1 and a half years now, after receiving it as a gift from my parents two Christmases ago. The version of the W580i varied to the dark grey and blue one stated in the picture, and was instead a white and orange version, which was bought on a pay and go tariff on o2. I was in desperate need of a new mobile and picked the W580i from the Carphone Warehouse catalogue, as it was aesthetically pleasing and had many advantages over my current mobile; 2mp. Camera, a 512mb memory card, and the new format were also appealing to me. When i first got the phone, i noticed that many of my friends and others i knew had also received the W580i for Christmas - proving it was a popular choice! 17 months on and I?m still using the mobile... Although it is beginning to get a bit dilapidated - possibly due to...

Sony Erricson W580i

Advantages: free 515mb memory card, extra options, "Shuffle" control and music & picture quality very good
Disadvantages: buttons crack and stop working for no reason at all!

...I owned this phone for just over a year I was on 02 network and I paid £139.99 for it. The mobile phone software is very good but the phone itself is very disappointing!!!!! First of all the Sony Ericsson W580i comes with a 512MB memory card and a 2.0 mega pixel camera. This obviously means that there is alot of space for pictures, music and video files. The picture quality is also brilliant too. The menu's are easily accessable and is practically the same as other Sony Ericsson mobile phones. On the Sony Ericsson W580i you can listen to the local radio station, Play the Games (My phone came with two games), TrackID (This you put your phone next to a speaker and the song is ID'd but comes with a price), Video Player. A "Video dj" Which allows you to add your videos together, PhotoDJ which allows you to edit...

Sony Ericsson W580i

Advantages: Good all round phone
Disadvantages: None

...I have owned this phone for about a month now, on a pay monthly orange contract. I have had sony ericsson phones since 2005, and will probably never go back to another brand. Sony Ericsson has the easiest user interface (once you get used to it, as with all phones) and they are built like bricks. Needless to say, i was just as impressed with this phone as I was with any others I have owned. Having read reviews about buttons cracking and the phone freezing and crashing, I decide to chance it anyway, such was my faith in Sony Ericsson. I have experienced none of these problems, and, again, as with my other phones, I have managed to bounce it down the road a couple of times without more than a slight chip in the casing. The number buttons are quite close together, but they are also quite large and responsive so texting is not a problem, as...

Sony Ericsson W580i

Advantages: Stylish. Easy to Use. Fantastic Applications. Great Sound.
Disadvantages: Buttons split easily..

...you can input your personal details and use the pedometer which counts your steps everyday and measures who many calories you're burning.. My phone also includes many other great applications including Photo DJ, Video DJ & Music DJ and my favourite.. Track ID, which enables you to record a short clip of music from the radio, TV or another external music source and it'll send it over the internet and find the song title, artist and album name it is from [if available] Genius! :) The phone includes some fantastic, modern themes, I especially love the 'Splat' theme :) Camera isnt as great as it could be, but its a Walkman phone.. if you're after a Sony Ericsson with a fantastic camera, go for 'K' range. But for a great looking, easy to use music player phone.. this is definately worth looking at!!...

Sony Ericsson W580i

Advantages: slim, light-weight, feature packed phone
Disadvantages: Battery life could be better

...I have had Sony Ericsson phone for the last 3 or 4 years now and am very happy with them. I find they are the easiest to use (nokia come very close) and they are good quality feature packed phones. This phone is not an exception. If you have used Sony Ericsson before you will be familiar with most of the features on this phone - the only difference really is the appearance and one or two features have been added or upgraded. If you are considering getting this phone, I would imagine you won't have to pay for it, it will be free on most contracts or around £200 sim-free! Shop around for the best deals? As this is a slide phone, you can answer a call by simply opening the phone up and end the call by closing it?it also locks automatically when it is closed which is good. The camera on this phone is 2megapixels. In good light...

The Sony Ericsson W580i

Advantages: Good MP3 player
Disadvantages: Camera

...I got this phone as part of a package but wont bore you with that, so i cant really comment on price, but only on its useability. At first i was quite content with the phone but it is starting to have some annoying habits that do go with some of the very good features. I will start with the specification FM radio Email Video Download Video - Record and playback MP3 Player PIM (?) Memory Stick Micro M2 Expandable Memory 2 megapixel camera WAP GPRS Bluetooth 240 x 320 pixel screen 1000 phone book entries up to 370 hours standby up to 9 hours talk time Weight = 94g As you can see there is a lot of features and i have used a lot of them. The good features are the MP3 player. It has a shake shuffle whereby you shake the phone to shuffle the song and the sound quality from the earphones is very good. External speakers...

Review of Sony Ericsson W580i

W580i sony ericsson walkman phone

Advantages: good for music and entertainment in general. Pedometer feature and shake feature v good
Disadvantages: pricey and buttons can be annoying at first

...I had never had a sony ericsson before and some how i got the impression that they would have been complicated to use. How wrong I was!! Being strictly a nokia buyer in the past i had felt a little aprehensive about this purchase. I got the phone for around 150 pounds in Argos which was a special deal on pay as you talk vodafone. I was surprised at the slim body of the phone as sony ericssons in the past have been chunky. It fits very nice in the hand and looks very smart . The phone came in a really smart little red box like a cube with software for the computer,a cable,instructions, headphones and charger. I couldn't wait to use my new purchase so i plugged it in for charge and turnt it on and it already had half a battery which was a very nice thing if you want your new phone straight away. You have to get used to...
