01234 A great Phone for its price, Tuesday, November 11, 2008 - 16:06

I have to say that this device is the best free phone in AT&T's lineup. The Sony Ericsson W580i offers a stylish slider design and a nice set of features. It also offers a 2MP camera and its performance is excellent. It's also a music phone which delivers great musical entertainment. I find it hard to imagine that its offered for free. However the Sony Ericsson W580i is far from perfect. I had experienced a few annoying problems while using it. The most noticeable flaw is its poor battery life. The battery doesn't last for long especially when you use the music player. The keys on this musicphone was also poorly designed. The keys are cramped and a bit small making dialing and texting difficult. Nevertheless, these weaknesses cannot take away the fact that the Sony Ericsson W580i is a great phone with a very reasonable price.

The Sony Ericsson W580i is a fantastic phone. It is beautiful, user-friendly design, love all the features in it. The call quality is excellent. The Walkman 2.0 music player is easy to use, organize and play songs. The music management software and USB cable allow for simple transfer of mp3 to and from a computer.
