    Anonymous, 21 Jul 2009i agree with u totally . nokia is garbage . i mean allmost ... morethis peice of crap s.e. walkman w580 series prooves that the walkman models are not that good like they were used to be . this w580 model is the most returned mobile product for the last few months since the time it got released .

    the walkman series got boring animations and menus just like the s.e. k series products same old firmware in almost all s.e. products and with two or three options changed here and there each time they relelase a new phone , plus the s.e. firmware is really well known for crashing stuck up and lag problems . since s.e. doesnt have inbuilt processors like most nokias its a shame that just a firmware is getting stuck up on usage . nokias are way better cuz they perform with quality processors and uses symbian os . symbian os supports millions of applications while s.e. firmware is having difficult moments finding java supported softwares around the internet . the s.e. walkman series mega bass option is just a marketing gimmik its just a equalizer preset in nokia xpress music model u can match the s.e. mega bass sounds just by changing the equalizer presets in order (some gsmarena xpress music reviews have confirmed this) . s.e.s are just for ppl who wanna get bored with ur mobile just in two three weeks while nokia xpress music is for ppl who wanna love there mobiles for a life time .

        XpressMusic has the worst sound quality ever and has the worst music players ever. The Walkman's walkman player are the most awesome music players out there. The interface is really fun and has a lot of animations. And walkman's sound quality is just awesome! While in nokia, it's all the same old crap. So people, if you want way better music phones get Walkmans not that stupid XpressMusic because you'll really regret it and you'll get bored with the same old music players and interface.

          nikit, 18 Jul 2009its a stupid phone..! one of frnds has it and the buttons c... moreEeewww Nokia phones are stupid. Especially the N series. They look like bricks and their really heavy. And what horrible user interface they've got. Xpress Music has the worst sound quality ever and their designs look like toys. SE has the best userinterface and best designs ever. And don't talk about Nokia having better processors because their phones always hang and lag. This phone might have a lot of problems but there are still a lot of better SE phones out there. Nokia is just plain crap. SE has the best looking phones, most stable phones, and the most awesome user interface ever. Nokia is just so boring. All their menus and such are all the same. SE RULES!!

              I work in an O2 Store in Ireland and I can confirm that the w580 by Sony Ericsson has many, many issues. Last year, it was possibly the most returned phone of the year.

              The major faults were:

              .Cracking keypad
              .Keypad keys not responding
              .Slide getting stuck half way up
              .Screen seemed to slip behind casing, meaning that some of the screen cannot be seen.

              A customer has given me this phone for free because of all the troubles they've had with it. Ive gotten it repaired (for free, of course :) ) and I'm gonna try it for a few weeks from tomorrow, to test it for myself.

              But yes, the phone is extremely unreliable and would not be advised. It looks good, and thats about it.

              Hope this helps,

              Jay

                  The display of this phone is really worst. My phone worked well for 5 months, later i had changed the display because of the display problem. I spend rs 2500 to change the display.. And i m not the only one who got this problem, there are so many others also google it.

                        This phone takes okay photos. And that's about it. The buttons crack in half and stop working after a while... for example, my space button quit working, and off and on, other random buttons quit working then work. I don't know what's up with it. All of my keys are cracked and the center button in the ring always gets stuck.
                        I can't wait to get another phone. It always locks up when you close it, and the clear button is so conviniently close to the browser button that you are writting a text message when you get on the internet, lose your text for about a week, and your text messages stop popping up. Unless you restart the phone which takes forever.
                        I do not recommend this phone to anyone, unless it is just to have for a few days.

                            surinder, 16 Jul 2009It's really a very very very good phone .this reply goes to mr surinder -

                            ur comment on this phone (saying its a very very very good phone) just made a another 1000s of ppl get into trouble by buying this model - so why dont u face the truth and speak the truth ok . dont put innocent ppl into trouble . some are working hard for a few months just to buy a new phone that fits em for a life time using there salary . not everyonce rich .

                            this model is a failure im sure u have expirienced it with every fault in this phone . the w580 units were sold and have been returned in thousands to mobile phone stores around the world .

                            please try to be true next time . this is going out all of u ppl who have commented on this phone saying so many good things about it .

                            go for w910 by s.e. its way better than this one but never buy w580.

                                  gka3000, 14 Jul 2009and u must be a sad lil man who gets pissed off when u hear... morek series c series or w series its still crappy with s.e. cuz i expirienced too much trouble with my s.e. k850i even not only with w580 . it didnt even took one or two months and my touch buttons in my k850i started to work instantly . like i dont even have to touch the buttons to work properly . it started to work like super touch lol . and the phone started to give sudden restarts . i never drop my phones i never have , i never connect my phone to computers with viruses or torjans i never plug in my phones to damaged power sockets . and one more thing i really hated about my k850i i used to have the nokia 5700 xpress music back then i sold my 5700 after i brought the k850i thinking that its sound quality must be good on headset . i was really wrong i really hated s.e. its like when im on the road i cant almost hear the song while i have my headset connected even when my k850i is on the loudest volume with mega bass on its the same . nokias are promising thats why they hold up the market on the top of the mobile world .

                                      w595 hv gr8888 build quality

                                      and nokia is garbage with poor quality material and really poor sound

                                        my expirience with this model a year ago -

                                        * buttons get cracked after two weeks use eventhough ur not using those very much or even if ur not a hardcore texter

                                        * takes one or two weeks for the buttons to be repaired then again in a few weeks gives the same trouble

                                        * signal gets dropped most of the time

                                        * sudden restarts crashups

                                        * even the mobile shop owners will warn u about this product before u buy it from em they hate it cuz so many w580's get returend to em from the customers.

                                        the sucessor for this model is w595 still looks crap to me cuz some have mentioned even the w595 still got key pad cracking problems .

                                        waste ur money on something else with good quality - like the nokia 5610 xpress music .

                                        my point - the worst walkman product ever made by sony ericsson .
