Sony Ericsson Walkman W580

Posted in Mobile Phones, Sony Ericsson, Walkman by Chris Weber on March 27th, 2007

Sony Ericsson Walkman W580Sony Ericsson continues to expand their Walkman mobile phone lineup and feature list by now adding the Walkman W580. The W580i sports the Quad Band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900) connectivity along with music playback, and this time Sony Ericsson has added some additional new features to help with your outdoor exercise routine.

The new mobile phone supports Disc2Phone software to transfer music to an internal 12MB of storage which can be expanded with a Memory Stick card, and TrackID will identify unknown songs whether they are downloaded or even recorded off of the built in FM tuner. Some other highlights are a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity and a “slider” style frame.

These are all nice features but the real unique item for the Walkman W580 is its concern for fitness by providing a pedometer built into the phone. By counting steps the mobile media device is able to measure distance, speed, exercise time and calculate your calories burned all while providing music and keeping you connected.

This new offering from Sony Ericsson comes in colors of Style White or Urban Grey, is only 14mm thick and will be available for purchase in the 3rd quarter of 2007.

    I have the black one, I love it. The camera is only decent in good light though, but that’s not a big deal for me. A tiny phone that looks cool and has a good music player is all I wanted. The phone comes with a one year warranty, so don’t worry too much about the key pad, SE has supposedly improved the design

    I own this Phone. And it is a wonderful phone! It is very durable, and I have had mine for six months now with only 1 problem. The 2,3,4, and 6 keys are cracked on mine. They even broke in that order. Other than that, it is very reliable if you don’t get a lemon. It has lasted the longest out of any of my other phones! And my phones have a fairly rough life!

    I suggest to not buy this phone. The battery cover is almost impossible to get off. You probably end up scratching the battery cover trying to pry it off. Also, it is hard to insert the SIM card. You need something small to push the SIM card up in the phone and make sure that it clicks.
    Also, I couldn’t turn the phone on. You hit the power button, and the phone vibrates and sometimes the AT&T screen comes on, but then the phones goes out. I thought it was a problem with the battery, but to find out it was a problem with the phone. I took it to a AT&T store and they confirmed that it wasn’t the battery. Luckily, the phone was under warranty. I took it to the Device Support Center (DSC) and they replaced the phone. Needless to say I have only had the phone for less than a year and this crap happens. I bought this phone because I couldn’t get a replacement battery for an older LG phone.

    Yeah I’ve had the phone for a few weeks and the buttons cracked but other than that the phone isn’t too bad itself.

  31. vanita Says:

    i honestly love this fone, appearance wise..series of problem though..the bloody buttons keep cracking. Within 2 weeks the # 2 3 4 6 7 9 & # keys cracked. Also, within 3 months the button you hold to shake & change songs while playing, has stopped working.

    My phone went psycho on me today…for 2 hours the 8 button would not stop pressing by itself..i figured it was jammed or something. Now its stopped working completely WTFFF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW???

    The phone goes all weird on me sometimes..it just shuts on and off..doesnt even charge!!. When i turn it off, for some reason the lights that usually flash whne someone is callin still stays on. *sigh looks like im taking a trip to the rogers store tomorrow…
    what b.s …f*ckn fone if it doesnt get fixed imma give that rogers guy a good cussing…

  32. ga Says:

  33. HMPH Says:

  34. stephanie Says:

    the buttons keep cracking me and my husband both own one they replaced is but it does no good but other than tat they are good phones

  35. lewis brown Says:

    this phone looks amazing and the lights are awsome! buuutttttttt after about a week the buttons will crack then about 2 weeks later some of the buttons wont work and then about 2 weeks later it will probably stop working altogether lol so yh my keys have cracked and my top left back button and select button have stopped working so i have to use the shortcut buttons all the time also my shake has stopped working i wouldnt reccommend spending a lot of money on it and if you do get it: BE CAREFUL WITH IT! DONT DROP IT EVER!!!!

  36. Rosie Says:

  40. ian Says:

    ITS A PEICE OF REAL CRAP BELIEVE ME THE # BUTTON FELL OFF AND NOW THE 2 3 8 and 9 DONT WORK neither does the down button on the d-pad also the charger is a bitch to get in right

    DONT GET THIS PHONE DAMNIT

  41. mark Says:

    DONT BUY THIS PHONE. My 18 month contract has literally just finished. When I got the phone the sim wouldnt connect properly and had to be wedged in with a small piece of cardboard. Within a year the keys cracked. I got some replacements from ebay and although they were pretty simple to replace, it shouldnt have happened. Yesterday the phone stopped working all together. It wont charge and wont turn on. Ive visited loads of forums but cant get it to work. All that happens is the light behind the ‘c’ button momentarily flashes. Very disappointed in the phone and waiting for my new Samsung Jet to arrive. I should never have changed from Samsung to Sony Ericsson in the first place. I hope the postman is early!!! RIP W580i, I wont remember you with fondness!
