I have bought this phone[w 580i} from mobile store in trivandrum, kerala one week ago.i read a lot of review about mobile from mouthshut and bought this phone.after using for I week am satisfied with this phone.phone is very stylish.slider is good and easy to handle.user interface is good.music output is superb.battery is ok.music playing and gaming takes a lot of battery.
After a full charge I played game for abt 6-7 hour and battery finished .One disadvantage and reason I think for average battery life is that the side light cant be switched off.the lights in side will always be switched on when we play.music player is very good and can be accesed easily.sound output through speakers in phone is good and through earphone is superb.Then coming to shake facility.i find it useful.its advantage is that when phones keypad is locked we can change songs without unlocking.
Then camera is average .in good sunlight picture quality is good .but in medium and low light picture quality is bad and very bad respectively.Photos taken outside building hasgood clarity.camera has a timer mode which I find useful.there is no zoom available.zoom is available only whencamera is put in vga mode.night mode in phone increases the clarity of photos and is helpful.one attractive feature is that the side lights change colour automatically and is good to see.
phone act as usb so no need for using any software for transferring anything between mobile and computer.it is quick.
if u need stylish, good music phone , average camera go for it.within a month the price of phone droped from 13500 to 12000.the black phone is costlier .the grey one cost around 11750 only,
