Sony Ericsson is known to convert several of its phones from other series to the Walkman series. The latest example of this is the W580i, derived from the original S500i - which we have already reviewed (September 17, 2007). Riding on the specs of the original W580i, the new Walkman phone delivers a few added features, which amply differentiate it from its parent phone. The uniqueness lies in the Walkman phone being - well - a Walkman, and the pedometer that comes preinstalled. We saw such a conversion even in the Z710's conversion to the W710. Now available at around Rs.10K, the W710 gives many mobiles a run for their money. Let's now look at the slider phone W580i and see if it's worthy enough to replace the clamshell W710i.
