Sony Ericsson W580i

Previously, we saw the first Walkman shake phone made by the Swedish-Japanese handset maker hitting the market of Hong Kong, and now it’s available to mobile users across Canada — or at least access Rogers Wireless‘ coverage area. Don’t expect the fast data transfer speeds, but while it’s limited to EDGE connectivity, with its smooth UI, the Sony Ericsson W580i is one of the best music phones on the market, additionally sporting 2 MP camera, stereo Bluetooth, pedometer (hence the shake function) and Memory Stick Micro expansion slot. All this could be yours for $150 CAD on a three-year contract… Sounds like another reason to “blame Canada.”

    does the keys crack on this phone like the S500i ..?w.b. asap

  • Anshika Jaipuriar

    Yes, the keys crack very frequently! If you text a lot (like 2,000 texts/month) then this cellphone is not for you. I got the whole keypad replaced twice in 1 year! But other than that this cellphone rocks!
    Its music player is simply awesome! Camera pictures are clear and sharp.
