I recently bought the Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman cell phone and I love it thus far. I had been deciding between the LG Shine and the Sony Ericsson and the Sony was so much lighter in weight and much easier to nagivate.

The Sony Ericsson W580i was named by Shape Magazine as the best fitness phone donning its fitness feature with a built in pedometer as everyone carries their cell phone on them while walking right? Why not track those steps taken and calories burned? Also a walkman with FM radio and a MP3 player (with the ability to have ANY MP3 can be ringtone!), the ability to watch TV/video, built in stop watch, gauges how at what pace you run at and showing your progress on a chart, and a walk around the world application showing you how long it would take you to walk to Abu Dhabi or London at your current speed.

Another wonderful feature is that the W580i is a WORLD PHONE meaning the phone supports domestic and international GSM frequency bands for coverage at home and abroad (see below for more detailed information).

More cool features are:

• Light effects ring tones, meaning the sides of the phone and buttons on the front of the phone light up in different colors when the phone rings and colors can be set differently to different callers acting as a colorful caller ID.

• A super clean crisp screen and graphics which is a total bonus when playing games on the phone such as SIMS which comes standard on the phone.

• Slider phone, meaning the screen/front of the phone slides upwards revealing the numeric buttons and there is an auto lock feature so that you can not make calls by mistake which most OTHER phones are notorious for, when the phone is closed. (I had a razor phone before which is a flip phone so I wanted something a little different, but just as easy to use and with more features)

• You can watch TV and music videos on the phone as well. The FM radio feature is awesome too,  and no other phones offers it. An MP3 player is almost standard on most phones these days HOWEVER the shake technology is not…
  

• Awesomely this phone is equipped with shake technology which means if you want to change the song that is playing you just simply shake the phone and it shuffles the songs for you!

• The Sony Ericsson W580i is a world phone. You can take this phone internationally and use it without general problems such as service, unlike other phones that have problems because they don’t utilize the same wireless networks, and are not compatible with foreign broad bands. This is a great feature for the world traveler

• You can change buttons function to do different things, this has its pluses especially if your right handed or left handed as you have the ability to change button function to fit your needs. BASICALLY the phone is totally customizable and I LOVE it!!!

There are so many more great features and I think this phone is just down right amazing and perfect for ANYONE! It gets great service and contrary to what some people say, my battery life is great. It is really easy to utilize and check your messages, text or voice, and it is also very easy to make or pick up a call even without having to slide up the phone. If you do buy this phone please read the manual and utilize ALL the features…you will not be sorry. Enjoy!
