      W595 became available last month. It's an update to your W580. Funny. I wonder how long before the problems will start popping up. 4 months i guess. Most of SE's current phones always has something nowadays...

          well after using w580 for about 1 year i thought i am the best person to write a review
          firstly w580 is a very nice phone no serious problems at all
          although its keys do break
          but only if you play games for long or press them really hard
          but even after breaking they function well and thats not a big problem
          secondally its screen has got a cover on it from the company or you can attach a cover available in market no big problem though


          the only problem i faced is its battery backup is low if you listen to songs quite often better carry a charger with you
          to save battery always set brightness to minimum
          finally w580 is a nice phone stylish and cool
          it rocks a best buy on its price range

                    The first thing i would like to tell everyone is dont ever dream of buying it at all.
                    The phone worked well for 4 months and then started the hell lot of problems
                    first it get shut off automatically and u cant start it again till a long time
                    second the port which is used to connect the charger and headphones...that stopped working and i had to charge the phone catching it in my hand to avoid the loose contact
                    third the keypad cracked and now almost all the keys are cracked
                    fourth and the most horrible problem
                    whenever i call it gives a disturbance in the background.the disturbance is so horrible tht u just cant talk

                    fifth the phone gets hanged every now n then

                    And the worst thing is the service provided by sony
                    damn its horrible
                    i have been visiting the service centre from past 3 months and my phone is with the service centre guy from 3 months
                    the first time he returned the phone in 4 days but no change in the problems
                    the second time he took 1 week but the disturbance i was mentioning increased
                    the third time he took 12 days
                    he told he changes some parts but still no change in fact it got worser with every service
                    the fourth time he took 25 days saying he would replace the motherboard itself
                    and you wont believe after getting back my phone within 2 hrs the problem repeated again
                    i just dont know what kind of service is sony providing
                    im not going to buy a sony erricsson phone in my life.This was the first time i had bought a sony phone i always prefer nokia and im going to do that for the rest of my life...
                    if u listen to me PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT BUY W580i...ITS WASTE OF MONEY...USELESS PHONE

                        Hi All,

                        This is phone is greate in color, shape & its sound quality.

                        But....

                        Main problem is that in this phone there is no cover facility in its body.

                        Screen you are looking is real screen, where as all other phones contains a screen (lcd) cover in its body.

                        And this is the main reason to get damaged by just little moisture in it.

                          I have this phone since it is released on Rogers on September 07, which is last year , and still using it for a year now. The phone works fine for me. No LCD problems, no dropped calls, no battery or keypad problems. I would really recommend this phone to anyone who is interested in a slim walkman slider phone.

                          On a lighter note, anyone knows if this phone supports up to 4GB of M2 memory card ? Don't really want to buy a new memory card just to find out that it is slowing the whole system down like in Nokia's phone.
