        Oh in case you think I've got it in for SE, am actually resorting to using an old (but trusty) K750, which incidentally I got about a year after that model came out. Was one of the first to get it when it First came out, but had to return two of them as they kept freezing, and eventually gave up and got a Sharp903. Think it might be safe to say SE can make great phones...just don't buy them as new releases, but wait at least 6 months whilst they iron out various stupid and irritating problems.

          Originally a fan of this quirky phone and SE, but after owning it just over two months three keys have cracked, and the memory card wiped itself once, so took it back to Carphone Warehouse, who were frankly as disappointing as the phone.

          Sales guy goes, "Oh never seen this before". Like, Please. Like its not all over blogs and reviews that the keypad is flawed and people are taking W580 and the S500 back to shops because of it. SE should be instructing their vendors what to do. Then he refuses to replace/refund or entertain idea of refund and purchase a more expensive phone. Instead he says it'll take 3-4 weeks to repair any memory slot issues, and they might not repair the keys(!), or I could pay Extra and get it done in 3-4 days. How kind of him to suggest it.

                okay dudes, first, you hold the walkman button and then shake left or right to shuffle the songs. it goes random ok? you get it now? i have this phone for almost a month now and so far so good except the battery. it sucks so bad compared to my w810i.

                    You have to hold the small walkman button down as you shake it.

                      the keypads of the phone is vulnerable to cracks easily. And becareful of manufacture of the inner lights behind e keypads, some might be faulty.

                            It's plastic, but if you're careful (meaning normally careful, not extremely careful), your phone won't suffer any scratch.

                              Hi can anyone help.
                              I was just wondering if the faceplate made of plastic or is it aluminum?
                              Will it survive scratches? thanks :D

                                I like this phone a lot except for a few things. I got this phone within the first 2 weeks that it was available, and after having it for about 2 weeks, my phone completely shut off, when fully charged, and would not turn on again...even when I tried to charge it. This was obviously a manufacturers defect. I sent it into Sony and got a replacement, and so far it has been wonderful. The screen is the brightest I have ever seen on a phone, the themes/backgrounds are great and animated, the sound is good, microphone/speakerphone great, and the usability of the MP3 is great.

                                The negatives are: Keypad may be hard to use if you have large fingers, I don't like that you have to hold the back button for about a second and a half to close out of the screen that you're in, texting seems to be a bit more difficult because the predictive text is not as good as motorolas.

                                OVERALL: I would highly recommend this phone. Great features, especially fitness features and MP3 features. It's sleek and compact. Overall great phone!!

                                    I just got this phone and like it, lots of options.

                                    The nubmers are a little difficult because they're compiletely flat. This requires you to look at the number pad when using it, not touch. Other than that one minor thing the phone is great. Make sure you buy extra memory for it!

                                        I don´t know anything about the LG phone, I have´nt even seen it, so i don´t think i can help you. But i think the sony ericsson is very good, besides this with the clock.
