| CNET.co.uk judgement |
The W580i is an attractive Walkman phone that comes in handy if you like listening to music and exercising. We're not altogether sure about the flashing lights and shaking feature, but it's a refreshing addition to the Walkman range and we hope to see more innovation in the future. |
