10 Things I Don’t Like About my Sony Ericsson W580i

6 03 2008

The other day I posted 10 things I like about my Sony Ericsson W580i cell phone, today I will write about 10 things I don’t necessarily like about it (in no particular order)

  1. No flash with the camera – ok you have a “night time” mood, but you still need a burst of light I feel on those dark nights and the images in night mood are very pix-elated
  2. 2 mega-pixel camera – ok I said I liked this (better than my 1.3 from my previous phone), but with phones now-a-days I would have expected at least a 3 mega-pixel camera
  3. Rogers media player – now why would I use this when I have the Sony walk-man already on the phone?
  4. You can’t zoom when taking photos even though it’s suppose to have 3x optical zoom, you can zoom when you are taking a video
  5. Calendar doesn’t display all day events, ie Birthdays.
  6. I can’t change what is on my quick main menu buttons.  I have “Calls” and “Music”.  I would rather have “Contacts” instead of the Rogers Music
  7. Keys are alittle small and with my big fingers I have to really look at them to make sure I’m pressing the right buttons
  8. You can’t send a text message to someones email in you contact without setting up an email account first (Telus you were able to send a text message without any problems)
  9. Work address appear first before Home address in the Contacts
  10. It runs on the EDGE network and is not 3G compatible

I’m sure there are more but there is some for now :)

    I had alot of the complaints you have about your phone as did I, until I flashed my firmware (which isn’t really that hard to do). I went from a brand’ed at&t phone to un branded, unlocked phone. And everything since then has been awesome. The camera comment I do agree that 2mp you should be able to zoom but if you switch to 640×480 you can zoom in.
