May 4, 2010 by admin · 2 Comments
The Sony ericsson 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. The user simply selects their connectivity option they require, then selects their favourite music & the final step is to transfer the music file.
The phone comes with EDGE technology, Bluetooth® technology, USB cable connection, fast port & GPRS. The user can use any of the connectivity options to connect their Sony Ericsson W580i to a compatible PC, laptop or printer to transfer files between devices. The Bluetooth® technology provides a wireless connection between compatible Bluetooth® devices & allows the user to enjoy a tangle free wireless experience.
The built in EDGE technology provides a fast & effective transfer speed which allows the user to enjoy a fast experience on their mobile device. The mobile technology does not stop their as the user can access the World Wide Web using the integrated Access NetFront™ Internet browser.
The W580i features a “shake control” – you flick your wrist when the music player is on and a random song is selected to play. Gimmicky but cool. Another gimmick is the built-in pedometer. It’s a useful feature if you do a lot of walking, but pedometers are cheap and readily available – do you really need one in your phone?
The main feature of the W580i (apart from making phone calls, of course!) is the music player. We’ve written about the quality of the Walkman music range many times on this site – take it from us, it’s good. The W580i has the new version 2.0, and is also equipped with an FM radio. A stereo headset is included in the sales package, and there’s also support for an optional Bluetooth stereo headset. The available memory is not generous – just 12 Mbytes built-in (enough for 3-4 songs) but the memory is expandable to 1 Gbyte (Memory Stick Micro™) or 4 Gbytes (Memory Stick PRO).
The phone also comes with a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, but this cannot compare with the autofocus-equipped cameras on the K800i or W610i.
