I wanted to buy SE W580 but i've discovered that there are tons of users who are complaning about:
- The keycracking problem
- That it is made of plastic! WTF? Yes, plastic
However, it has a beautiful desing and screen

Well, w810 was my second option but it's an old one (2006) and it's fat.

So i don't know what can i do. I'm only looking for a SE Walkman
what do you think?

W910i great phone indeed, but it you have a month or 3 to spare consider saving ur money for a shiny W760i or the new cybershot series (if you want that is, i know you said walkman)

If you want mid end walkman go for W200, for better one go for W610 (nice camera too) and go for W890 or W910 if you want the stunning looks. As for the sound you can mod a bit to get it done without losing the warranty.

It depends how much can you pay.

If price doesn't matter buy W890i or W910i. And if you are looking for a mid-end phone - W610i is a good choice (and has AF yay! ).

If you want a slider, buy a W910i, if you want a candybar phone, buy the W890i,

both phones are perfect for listening to your music-files, i've got the W910i and i'm über-happy with it Only problem is that the pictures i take with the camera are very crappy. But i'm used to a K810 who shoots almost perfect pictures.

The W890i comes with a 2GB m2 card btw....

I'm a HUGE fan of the W910i, but the W890i is a beautiful handset.

Them are the two i'd go for (out of the phones that are out now).

But obviously, it depends on how much money you have to spend

Dude you should be surprised at the buttons made of Plastic. Name me more than 5 different phone models (regardless of brands) that does NOT make phone buttons out of Plastic or Rubber (usually metal plated platic like on RAZR2 is the alternate unless Metal alone)?? There are MANY different KINDS of Plastic - Bottles usually made from #2/3 (avoid #7 in the triangle under bottled water/oils that you cook/drink), Plastic tupperware, Keyboard for you PC, Tablets, Laptop shells, etc).

Now You CAN get the W890i which is VERY nice, but if you like sliders & want the features the W890 have, wait for the W760i to debut (same A2 platform, same Camera, A+B Buttons for gaming, GPS inbuilt is a BONUS, 3G Triband is great for travelling and you still need 3G - laptop tethering when mobile in another country overseas). Same size screen as well.
