 If our review score seems lower than our enthusiasm, our scoring takes into account amenities we've come to expect on a modern music phone, like music streaming or access to a music store, or at least some DRM-controlled content. While the W580i may lack these features, it is still a polished phone, and by that we mean that every feature, like the pedometer and scheduling apps, looks good, is useful and functions without flaw. The Walkman player is second to none, and the alert features, most of which involve music and flashing lights, complement the lighthearted nature of the phone nicely. It may not have scored highly, but the Sony Ericsson W580i left us feeling good about the solid slider, and for music phone shoppers that should count for a lot. Release: September 2007. Price: $80.
Pros: Good calling. Fun alerts. Best-in-class music player. Cool gimmicks don't detract from a solid phone.
Cons: Few messaging presets. Stiff, small keys. Disappointing camera. No 3G connectivity or advanced music features.
