Moving Music
There's a name those of us from the 80's remember with a happy smile on our faces: Walkman. It revolutionised personal music, you could take it anywhere, and listen to your tunes whenever you wanted. Eventually, the name became attached to mobile phones.
And now, we have a brand new Walkman phone, the Sony Ericsson W580i.
Sleek Surface
Sitting within a sleek, sliding body is Sony Ericsson's exceptional engineering. Even just looking at it, the W580i oozes cool. With a wonderful, smooth sliding action, it's an absolute joy to hold and use.
Sitting right slap bang in the middle is the big 'W', that we've all come to recognise as the Walkman badge. And make no mistake, this is one mighty fine music phone.
Bangin' Bass
As you'd expect, Sony Ericsson's Walkman 2.0 music player is fantastic. Easy to navigate, great to look at, and the sound... oh, the sound... with built-in graphic equaliser, you're going to get beautiful sound quality from the W580i, and if you like your bass thumping (the way it should be!) the Megabass will blow your ears away.
Music Lover
Do you find it annoying when you can't remember the name of a song? Well, the W580i will come to your rescue, with its TrackID feature. All you do is set it recording a few seconds of the track you're hearing (but can't remember the name of, which is making you tear your hair out), and in seconds, the album, song, and artist names will be delivered to your phone. And you can stop pulling your hair out!
Throw in a 2 megapixel camera (for instant, phenomenal photos) and Bluetooth (to share your music and your pics), and it makes the Sony Ericsson W580i a seriously nice phone.
