    Sony Ericsson W580, being a Walkman variant of S500, disposes with the extra functions, typical of this series: an improved music player, FM radio, as well as the new Shake technology for changing tracks by a jerky movement.

    I had many cell phones in the past few years, mainly Motorola's and Nokia's. This is the first Sony phone i bought, and i now had it for 4 months.
