Worst build quality, extremely poor display hardware!

Aug 31, 2009

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: Looks, Multimedia options, Slider
Cons: Worst build quality, poor hardware, heavy maitanance
Opinion:
I got this phone about 3 months ago for a price of about 10K in Hyderabad (India).

The phone's functionality is good as per its specifications. Voice quality is okay, sound and the Walkman are good. Talktime is about 4-5 hours and the average backup with 10-15 calls a day and normal multimedia usage is not more than 24 hours.

The worst part is its build quality, the screen display is screwed up in less than 2 months, i took it to the authorized service center and was surprised to see the same model handset with same problem for one in every 2 complaints they had that day.

I spoke to the center manager and he confirmed the fact that this model (W580i) is the faultiest model that SE had produced in the last 2 years. He'd confirmed a fact that 90% of the handsets of this model which come for warranty are due to the display ... Read more

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: music quality, 2.0 mega pixel camera, sound quality while on the phone, ease of uploading files, walkman-shake
Cons: key's cracking, no flash, can only zoom in vga camera picture size, severe fluctuating signal
Opinion:
I got this phone just over a month ago. The service has fluctuated since the day that I got it. I had a "bad" phone since I had 2 cracked keys with in the first 3 weeks. I was told by sony that there were a few bad phones that had weak keys. I also have trouble getting video's that I've uploaded onto this phone to play.

Other than these issues, I love the phone. I find it easy to text with, the lights make it easy to see in the dark, and the music sound quality is amazing! I have wanted this phone for a long time and I'm glad that I finally got it!!
