The W580i joins the ranks of sexy slider phones that pack music and multimedia into a slim design. Ultra light at 3.3 ounces, the phone fits easily in the palm of the hand and features a curved bottom edge for extra leverage.

Measuring almost four inches long and 1.8 inches wide, with a thickness of half an inch, the phone is shaped like a small brick. The body has brushed metal sheen that disguises the fact that it's made of lightweight plastic. In the hand, the phone feels almost too light at 3.3 ounces. Although the phone slides easily on its chassis, there's no easy place for the thumb to grip when opening the phone with one hand. The lack of grip coupled with the fact that the plastic is slippery makes for awkward one-handed opening, although after repeated use the motion gets easier.

The W580i slides open to reveal a flat numeric keypad with a cool blue glow. The tight placement of the keys makes blind dialing difficult, but the keys themselves have a solid feel. Opening the slider reveals the 2.0-megapixel camera lens at the top of the phone.

The sides of the phone light up playfully in 16 color patterns when a call comes in. Colors range from Apricot to TuttiFrutti.

The phone lacks a designated camera key, so unless the camera is set as a smart key, users must navigate to the camera from the main menu to take pictures. Once the camera is activated, selection keys below the screen can be used to capture photos or change settings, while the volume keys adjust brightness and the up and down keys on the navigation keypad zoom in or out.

great phone, but as you know nothing is perfect, the last one i had, started having problems with the screen, as i couldnt see nothing it was pitch black and the bad thing about it is that is a manfacter problem for me it has something to do with that it overheats....
