Sony Ericsson W580 Walkman announced
27 March 2007 by Olav Hellesø-Knutsen "The W580 Walkman® phone is designed to match your lifestyle, whether you are in the car, at a party or busy at the gym," explains Steve Walker, Head of Product Marketing at Sony Ericsson. "As well as letting you have your latest music with you at all times, the W580 steps in as your portable photo album and pocket gaming device. It will even serve as your training partner thanks to built-in sports applications that track running speed and distance." This latest Walkman® phone pushes the boundaries of urban style. When the slider is closed the design, either in Style White or Urban Grey, is ice-cool, understated. Flick open the slider and the phone becomes a real attention grabber, revealing hot orange colour accents and stunning light effects along the sides. At only 14mm thin, you wonder where the W580 finds room for all of that music, the camera and the fun applications. But it does, effortlessly, and there is no compromise on the full Walkman phone experience. As well as storing up to 470 full-length music tracks *, it is incredibly easy to get music from your computer into the phone, since the Disc2Phone music management software and USB cable all come in the box. You can even use TrackID™ to identify music tracks you don't recognise, regardless of whether they are playing out loud or via the phone's RDS FM Radio. With all this going on, make sure you take time to notice the light effects on the W580. Navigate to the Walkman player and they automatically change to a glowing orange colour. With the W580 Walkman phone you can even take your favourite tracks to the track. It will count your steps, your calories and monitor your running speed/distance/time. Add to that your best tunes for motivation and whether you’re on a run, in the gym or just out for a stroll, the W580 is the perfect fitness partner. Urban cool really does meet mobile entertainment with the W580. The 2.0 megapixel camera and fast connectivity make picture blogging and instant messaging second nature. 3D Gaming is fast action too with hit titles preloaded. The slider action also allows for a large 2.0" colour screen, ideal not just for gaming but also web browsing and viewing your camera photos. As if the W580 did not already scream of street style, you can also add music accessories to your Walkman phone to make even more of an impression. Two sets of cool, optional speakers – the Portable Speakers MPS-70 and Snap-on Speakers MPS-75 – instantly transform the W580 into the heart and soul of any party. If you want to turn up the volume still further, then the Bluetooth™ Music Receiver MBR-100 lets you play your phone music directly through a home stereo, using your W580 as the remote control to skip through tracks and adjust the volume. So the W580 Walkman® phone looks and sounds stylish, whether you are at a party or just hitting the street. The W580 Walkman phone is a 2.5G, Quad Band EDGE device (850/900/1800/1900) and will be available in selected markets from Q3 2007. * W580 Walkman® phone capable of storing up to 470 tracks in eAAC+ codec.

Fantastic On 27 Mar 16:25 Spike wrote I want this now! It's even sexier than my w880i On 27 Mar 15:55 Littleman wrote Oh yeah baby keep em' comming! On 27 Mar 15:51 DoctorMantis wrote Very, very nice. Glad they've gotten away from tiny, hard buttons (W880, K810). Nice features for a "5" series phone. (Get it, KaVz? It's only a "5," not an "8," so how is this a downgrade?) On 27 Mar 15:21 ToneyEricsson wrote 2 mega pixel is so 2006. On 27 Mar 15:16 KaVz wrote Yeah! Nice design! But the features? Really... Beauty is only skin deep! Hehehe... Why does SE is keep on downgrading? Except the name, what is "walkman" on the so-called "walkman" phones? Nokia or any other music phone brand sounds almost the same if not superior to SE's walkman. Nokia's music phone sounds louder than SE, SE has a very weak speakers! Although it sounds better, yet too weak! SE must listen to consumers, if they will continue releasing such phones, they'll lost fame! Nokia's xpress music is not so far behind walkman on its race! And soon it will reach the top! Mind you SE... Music must be heard! Play it better! Play it louder! Let them hear it! Its not a fashion phone! Who cares about the looks? IF it sounds louder and far better! On 27 Mar 14:36 Ranjith wrote nice...attractive! but no stereo speakers! R On 27 Mar 13:51 thedudesays wrote Yawn...we came to know about it yesterday... No Autofocus...am not even thinking about it as my next buy.Why is the connector on the side?? speaker behind the d-pad is cool!! and why is there a bend at the bottom?? On 27 Mar 13:25 no3GipreferW850iinst wrote banyu On 27 Mar 12:18 skylineR35 wrote why IR? i think all function from IR is nowadays replaced by Bluetooth including remote control mode. Nice design, speaker in the middle of button, and key separator look like a small diamond wannabe. i think should be correct W580, just release us a W910 SE... On 27 Mar 11:57 Abi wrote No IR?? I won't buy any phone without IR... On 27 Mar 11:45 MightyElf wrote Don't get me wrong this is a very nice looking phone, but why are you going backwards Sony Ericsson? I know there is a low-mid end market of phones to cater for but the amount of downgrades we're seeing coming out really is just annoying to be honest. Don't become Nokia... please! On 27 Mar 11:45 daremo wrote looks hott !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On 27 Mar 11:39 SirGrullin wrote mucho tu bueno este cel slider, ya era hora de otro, disponible para latinoamerica ¬¬.
