king10000's Full Review: Sony Ericsson w580i Cell Phone
So far been pretty happy. Went with this one over the other colors since it looked the coolest (note that it may not necessarily indicate it, but some of them are more two-tone). The music feature is pretty neat, I don't use it as a true Walkman but more as a backup to my ipod. Phone has been fine so far, no dropped calls. I bought this phone for the added features like the radio, the ability to add the 4MB chip (buy it online for like $20) so you have a music and phone player, and the pedometer/step counter. Overall, have been pretty happy.
Only down side is the proprietary power and headset, which is a major drag. While they include an adapter for you to attach a headset (note, NOT a microphone, but a walkman style headset, different size jack), who wants to have to carry that around. I was also a little dissappointed to have to carry around the headphone jack to serve as the radio antenna, but if that means less radio waves going into my head, I'm cool with that.
Overall, 4 stars, still a little too early to rate battery life. I also bought one of those accessory packs only for like $5 that provided a car charger and an extra regular charger and a phone protector. I'll try and update this review once I've had this longer to comment on durability and other factors, but so far, so good.
