I used to have the grey one. It's a lovely little phone, but - and this may have just been my model - the earpiece speaker is quite muddy.

i like the phone, but apparently build quality isn't the best and the also had the problem that the keypad breaks after a few days on the majority of the devices, and there hasn't been any official word yet about this being solved !

3 of my friends got it for christmas and all of their keypads have broken and had to be sent back.

w580 is a very nice phone, I had the white version and is beautiful, no problem with the keypad, brilliant display, lights effects and good music.
You should test one in a store before buying, if you like then buy it

I just upgraded to one of these at O2 the other day and i took it back. My reason was muffled call quality and it feels far too flimsy and i decided i just dont like white phones. The sales lady in the shop said the cracked keys problem has been solved it only was with early batches. I now got W880i which is better.

the keypad is really crap of it imo, just like on s500. very bad construction and its really easy to brake

yup, but when my friend returned it to they changed it with rubber keypads

@kingbooker5,
it's just another 262k colors screen with 240x320 resolution like most se phones.
i totally fail to see the fantastic part you heard of.

THis has been OFFICIALLY resolved by SE! Any w580i built past wk 34 of Last year is a RESOLVED issue. The issue was resolved by switching the corrosive paint that was outsourced to another company.
