Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman Review

The W580 is a quad-band GSM and EDGE mobile phone. It features a QVGA 2″ screen, an M2 slot, 12 MB of free memory, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, a 2 MP camera, a 900 mAh battery and an FM radio with RDS. It is a slim slider phone weighs only 94 grams that in the box we found a 512 MB M2 card, a handsfree with a 3.5mm adapter, a charger, Li-Po battery, a USB 2.0 cable with support for SE’s “Fast Port”, the PC suite in a CD and the manual.

The phone feels very comfortable to hold, since it’s pretty slim, although I can not say that I’m a fan of the twisted lower side as this can be problematic if you wear tight jeans is. On the left side you see the up down volume buttons, and on top of the search OFF button. There are no extra camera or special purpose buttons on the sides other than the normal buttons on the front of the device: softkeys, back, backspace, walkman button and “shortcut” button. The 5-way joystick is very stiff and firm, and it doubles also as walkman control and the camera’s application loader. The stereo speakers behind the joystick, so that when you hear something loud located, you should be careful, not the fingers on the joystick. If you slide the phone up, the 2 MP camera to find the back of the phone.

We found the construction of the phone overall pretty good, except for two points: the keypad and the battery door. Let me first say that I try my index finger, remove the battery door to change SIMs in it hurts. It was impossible to remove it with your hands. I had to deal with a sharp knife and insert the knife at the bottom of the phone, where the wrist wrap holes are found and open the phone’s battery door that way – in danger of destroying the door, of course . I found it impossible to do so accustomed to sliding door down, that is. In relation to the keyboard, the feeling that the real keys are on the phone in their midst only appropriate, and especially the # key feels that it always popup. While this is only my false perception, perhaps, the point is, it does not mean that I trust the keyboard.

Speaking of battery life, manages the phone about 7 hours of talk time and we are about 7 days of standby. Reception was top-notch, as good as W810i’s, maybe even a little better. Audio quality was also high on the hill in both directions. In fact, the messaging and contacts Log usability experience was very positive compared to phones from LG or Motorola.

The W580i is a young man (or at least, active people) phone. Except the colorful, updated Walkman software, there are found three applications that have to do with physical activity. In the front window, you will find a pedometer, it is contrary to a calories weight, one that will store the information. Xls file and allows you to share the information with others, and it is also Track u0026 Field Manager – complete with. .. how many do you medals! Finally, there is a cool little application that you know how many steps aways can find cities of the world. For instance, if you are based in New York and you as your target city Los Angeles, the application will approximate how much you have to walk there.

The rest of the software also updates and changes, mostly minor things seen, but the things that do constitute in a solid software upgrade. The new camera software is easier than the W810 for example, and NetFront 3.3 Does not run out of memory on each corner to use! Java apps also seems faster too, eg Opera Mini, GMail and Google Maps. It is a pleasure to be able to run multiple java apps at the same time and switch between them, with SE’s new app-switching facility. We could not be executed until six Java applets at the same time before the phone started to run slower. More over, A2DP worked very well and we could also set the phone to the Internet can not connect via GPRS, but with the Bluetooth PAN profile, which connects to a Bluetooth router instead of a WiFi one. How cool was that? Overall, the software would No1 reason for SE W580i from an older cell phone upgrade, rather than its hardware qualities. It is my opinion that Sony Ericsson as the best User interface usability in the non-smartphone market with its current platform.
