A Mobile Phone as Active as You
With a stylish, eye-catching slide phone design and a cutting edge music player boasting unsurpassed Sony audio quality, the Sony Ericsson W580i would be a favourite regardless of its other features. But this shiny, lightweight mobile is much more than a great looking walkman phone. The W580i is the perfect mobile for music lovers with an active lifestyle and a desire to stay connected in style.
Available in a smooth steel white with classy orange accents or sleek urban grey highlighted with retro green, this Sony Ericsson slide phone is compact and easy to carry. The 2 inch TFT display screen is visible when the phone is open or closed and offers great resolution even in sunlight. Below the display, there are plenty of shortcut keys, as well as a navigation pad, that add to the trendy design and the convenience of the phone. Without opening the keypad, users can access the music player and the phone’s menu, as well as place and receive calls. Opening the W850i’s slide mechanism reveals a stylish keypad accented with retro style silver rivets between each key. The buttons are large and easy to distinguish, making this an all around simple to use mobile with the latest features and a quite stylish design.
The W580i’s integrated camera is not the phone’s best feature, but the camera takes decent photos for messaging, wallpapers, and other usage on the handset. The 2 megapixel camera doesn’t offer an auto-focus or a flash, but there is a night mode and a number of other features available. The W580i will capture video clips as well, but the quality of the video leaves much to be desired.
The music player that has caused so many mobile users to name Sony Ericsson’s walkman phones as favourites makes up for what the W580i’s camera lacks. This music player provides high quality sound and supports all common file formats. The FM radio is used with headphones and Sony Ericsson has included all sorts of fun features to make your music experience even more enjoyable, like song recognition with Track ID and Music DJ composer capabilities.
With such a terrific music player, the W580i is an ideal companion for walking, jogging, or working out at the gym. To make this feature complete, this active mobile features a built in pedometer, as well as a personal trainer function. Using special motion sensor technology, the W580i operates in either walking or running mode and tracks important information like distance, speed, and even calories burned. The phone can also record and store your daily progress.
Other features of the W580i are comparable to similar handsets, including great connectivity with both EDGE and Bluetooth, email support, and organizer functions. Battery life is average for a small, feature packed phone like the W580i. Overall, this Sony Ericsson walkman phone is a great mobile that is easy to use, looks terrific, and matches your active lifestyle.
