The W580i is a slim slider phone with a neat trick; it has a built-in pedometer along with some neat programs to make use of it. The shape is cool and the curve on the bottom is interesting and smart at the same time. However I’m not that crazy when you open it up. There are these lights on the side plus you get these shiny things on the keypad that kind of remind me of a rapper’s teeth.

The W580i is a young people’s (or at least, active people’s) phone. Except the colorful, updated Walkman software, there are 3 applications to be found that have to do with physical exercise. In the front screen, you will find a pedometer and there is also a calories/weight counter.

The W580i comes with 12 Mbytes of built in memory & with a memory slot which allows the user to add a Micro™ M2™ memory card for further storage. The handset weighs 94 grams in total & is 14 mm in depth, 99 mm in height & 47 mm in width. The Sony Ericsson W580i comes complete with a stereo headset so the user will be ready to enjoy their music & comes with everything the user needs to get their music from their PC or laptop onto their phone.
