"Funky phone with cool features!"
Pros: features, ease of use, pretty
Cons: Battery, rejects calls when take out of pocket!
Summary: I have been using my grey W580i for just under a week now and I've really been enjoying the features. To date I only have two grumbles..
1. The battery on my phone is very poor and I have needed to charge my handset every 36 hours.. I haven't spent much time on the phone / texting etc. and ensured that it was fully charged before disconnecting etc. I am currently arranging with the network provider for a swap as this is not what was promised and they think I may have a fault handset.
2. The volume keys on the side of the handset act as a method of rejecting (sending the busy tone) to callers and quite a few of my calls have been lost this way. If anyone can suggest a way of setting the phone so that taking it out of your pocket doesn't result in this.. please let me know.
Apart from those 2 issues, I am loving this phone. There are some crazy little novely features such as the paedometer which make the phone great fun to use. I'm a big text message sender and have found no problem in sending messages with the smaller key pad.
