Pictures from the 2-megapixel camera were as expected and suitable for small prints or MMS messages, but not advised for printing large photos.

Battery life lasted for over two days, but expectedly for much less time when we used the MP3 player very regularly. Sony Ericsson quotes it at around 370 hours standby time and nine hours talk time.

Conclusion
The W580i is an attractive Walkman phone that comes in handy if you like to exercise. We're not the healthiest bunch, so we just counted how may steps we took from home to work, but if you're a keen runner it's worth checking out.

If you think you need a little more storage space for all your tunes, you should keep a look out for the Sony Ericsson W960i, which will hopefully come out before Christmas and packs an impressive 8GB of onboard memory.

Alternatively, you could get an iPhone, which is set to come out on 9 November, and also comes with 8GB of onboard memory. If size is an issue, though, then the very slim Sony Ericsson W880i is small enough to fit almost anywhere.
