Sony Ericsson W580i

Sony Ericsson is known to convert several of its phones from other series to the Walkman series. The latest example of this is the W580i, derived from the original S500i - which we have already reviewed (September 17, 2007). Riding on the specs of the original W580i, the new Walkman phone delivers a few added features, which amply differentiate it from its parent phone. The uniqueness lies in the Walkman phone being - well - a Walkman, and the pedometer that comes preinstalled. We saw such a conversion even in the Z710's conversion to the W710. Now available at around Rs.10K, the W710 gives many mobiles a run for their money. Let's now look at the slider phone W580i and see if it's worthy enough to replace the clamshell W710i
