sony ericsson w580i

It feels quite solid but the battery cover is prone to the odd creak while the soft keys are overly spongy. On the upside, the slider action is reassuringly sturdy and it opens with a snap to reveal what looks to be a cramped keypad. But, don’t fret because the arrangement is surprisingly thumb-friendly.

A very easy to use phone and the Walkman player is fun. The five-way navigation pad controls the player when in Walkman mode but the addition of motion sensors allows you to skip tracks with an abrupt flick of your wrist. Having to keep the front Walkman button pressed before shaking is a hassle, and we found it was just as quick to use the normal controls to change tunes.
