W580i.....??

[twisterkev]

i am planning to get new phone - W580i... i just wondered if anybody had got one already??

i am not sure that if this phone can use the S500i themes (flash menu themes aka everchanging and day and night) without any fuss.. (like, need to download the phone XS to make it work... etc)... i just dun want to be like getting flash menu to W600i (which i had right now.. it is wayyyy too much work for me!!)

how is the camera too?? is it great to use??

cuz.. i know it is newest one!! LOL!! :D but... let me know if u have another suggestion, as long as they are sony ericsson!!

thanks everybody!!

I have one. I'm pretty sure you can't use flash themes without using some of the hacker tools like XS++ or setool2lite.

I think the camera's great, but I'm coming from a T637 with a camera that was utter crap. It would be better if it had autofocus and flash, but oh well...

w580i with branding don´t support flsh menu. so you need to do a lot of work to change that.
those without branding support flash menu!
some shops do debranding for about 15€...

Yeah just debrand it to get flash themes, I used wotan. You can put the S500i themes everchanging and day & night onto it pretty easily, and they actually work. They work on my phone anyway.

This was the easiest to use phone ever! I waited for ages to get hold of it because of the features, usability etc but by day four, four of the keys had cracked so I phoned O2 & they said they had not had any other complaints but would send a replacement. By day 10, 9 out of 12 buttons were cracked & now I've seen these reviews & realise I am not alone. I noticed yesterday that 02 are no longer showing this phone (urban grey) on their pay monthly shop so it looks like they may have withdrawn it.

The query about the memory stick, I had the problem then realised you have to push it down deep inside until it clicks. You probably need to push it with a pair of tweezers or something as I certainly couldn't push it right down with my nails, which are short. This also goes against the reviewer who said the buttons were cracking because people were using their nails. This isn't the case it is just badly made I am afraid. Great phone but poor quality.
