i have the s500 and personally i don't think it's all that special. the functions of the phone, i think are just maybe a bit better than a basic phone, but there's not much to be wow-ing over. the camera's also a little annoying because it doesn't have that mirror thing at the back, so that you could take pictures of you and your friends without having someone to stay out of the picture to be the photographer.

i had this phone when it first came out for a few days, when a total of five of the keys cracked. i just wanted to warn you guys, if you are thinking about the w580 as a replacement *i have this one rite now* after having it for 2 months, my key cracked and now the top of the memory slot won't close...so if you dont' want to go through this hassle again don't check out the w580i either..

this phone has a lot of problems not just the buttons cracking but software wise as well.. the phone periodically freezes and shuts down by it self without any reason, even at full charged battery.. i am very disappointed with SE in this model and now the problem continues to get worse. Im not sure if any of you has had this problem but now the screen discolors on its own and glitches. Maybe se should stop manufacturing their phones in china and should now start building them in japan or some other reliable facility.

This phone is one of the greatest ones out there I got it after N95 , iphone and then S500i .
it has no problems at all , so people stop making it look bad just cuz one of you broke his pad . . . .

i can tolerate the keys cracking....but mine right now is starting to chip off!!!!
i have been waiting for 2 months now. the ericsson store told me that they don't have yet the "improved keypads" and the ones that they have are still the same old one... I dont even know if SONY ERICSSON really have acknowledged the problem and if they really said anything about replacing it.. do you guys have heard or read something about it? can you give me a link? thanks!

The review said the keypad problem was solved, but I doubt it. Mine cracked after 2 months of usage, and if GSMArena doesn't use it constantly, they will never know about the cracking problem.
