Belkin router.......2008-01-01
very easy to install and use. my daughter installed it and she needs help with everything. It is working great and she is now able to connect via her laptop and don't even know how.
Router Review.......2007-12-31
Works as described. Purchased a few weeks ago and have been using since received without any problems. Initial problems with instillation of software. However, contacted Belkin support who assisted me with resolution of problem. Overall happy with product.
What's everyone's problem? This is a great product........2007-12-30
I love this router! It took a few moments to hook-up, but not long. We have Port Magic on our PC, and it covers the security that we needed. It's small and I get about a 60% reception in my room from abour 50 ft. and 6 or 8 walls inbetween.
It's networked to my PC and I can't wait to get an extender so I'll have a %100 rating there. It'll definitely be a Belkin too!
belkin wireless G, some issues........2007-12-18
I have this installed and often I have to reboot the thing to get it to work. A tech frind of mine says I should have went with a LINKSYS. I just may do that.
Not Ready For Prime Time.......2007-12-18
This wifi gateway router technically 'works' but did not at all meet our ordinary domestic needs. We ultimately had to return it.
Average customer rating:

Amazon.com Product Description
Sony Ericsson shakes things up with its new quad-band W580i Walkman phone, introducing an innovative "shake to shuffle" feature that randomly chooses another song stored on your phone with just a flick of the wrist. This thin, slider-style phone also features a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, fast Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR connectivity with music streaming, Memory Stick Micro expansion, Web browser for viewing full Internet sites, email access, an FM radio with RDS, and EDGE data support.
The slim slider W580i measures just 0.55 inches thin and features a brightly colorful QVGA screen, external music keys, and a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder. |
With AT&T's Mobile Music service, you can access your Napster subscription service for music downloads to keep you booming out the tunes for up to 20 hours. |
AT&T Service
The W580i operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks and can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution"), with availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. This third-generation, high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go.
The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. It also features AT&T Mobile Music, which provides access to the Napster subscription music service in addition to Music ID song-recognition software, music videos and The Buzz music news portal. (A MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.)
Phone Features
The W580i Walkman phone offers a full-function digital audio player that's compatible with MP3 and AAC files. The front of this slider phone includes dedicated music control buttons, and it includes Sony Ericsson's innovative "shake to shuffle" feature. With Shake control activated, press and hold the Walkman key and flick your wrist. A vibration lets you know that the track has been changed--a new song from your current playlist is randomly selected and automatically played.
With the TrackID service, you can identify any song that you can hear by just recording a snippet of sound using the microphone. After sending the file for recognition, you'll have the name, artist and album sent to your phone. Other Walkman features include MegaBass enhancement for added depth of sound, a flight mode that lets you keep listening to tunes with the phone's network connectivity turned off, and Disc2Phone software for easy transfer of song files between phone and PC. It also includes a built-in FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations).
This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity with EDR (enhanced data rate), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.
The built-in 2.0 megapixel camera captures stills and video--and playback of video or still pictures is only limited to the memory card size. Picture effects and custom screensavers, backgrounds, and themes can be setup to fit your personality. It provides support for PictBridge technology so you can print your photos without the need of a PC (either using USB or Bluetooth). And the W580i makes it easy to send snapped photos directly to a blog or an online photo, complete with text. This phone is also compatible with RTSP/3GPP streaming video playback
You can even take your favorite tracks to the track with the W580i, which will count your steps, your calories and monitor your running speed/distance/time with the integrated motion sensor. Your workout results are stored in your phone so you can monitor your progress.
The phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3 and IMAP4 protocols, while the included Access NetFront Web Browser allows you to surf full HTML web sites. It also supports RSS feeds, allowing you to use your phone to view up-to-the-minute news and other content from selected Web sites and blogs. Just subscribe to the feed and let it come to you. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics and sound via messages.
The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard. This means the phone can be used with the included Sony Ericsson Sync Station software, which lets you synchronize your Microsoft Outlook calendar, contacts, notes and tasks on your PC with the phone.
Other features include:
- 2-inch LCD with a 240 x 320-pixel resolution and support for 262K colors
- Up to 1000 contact entries, each with five number fields
- Built-in pedometer and fitness applications
- Picture blogging with Google Blogger
- Mobile email and messaging via AOL/AIM, Yahoo!, and MSN

Customer Reviews:
Amazing phone!!.......2007-12-25
When I got the phone, the 0 button was not working. Sent that back and got a replacement phone. I am not the most gentle person when it comes to phones. I was kind of skeptical about the slider, whether it will stand up to abuse etc.
I absolutely love it. You can play mp3 and radio(with the headset). I've had it for about 4 weeks or so and I love this phone more and more. I've always been a big fan of Sony Ericsson phones, so this might be a very biased review. But this phone IS amazing..
I was running to catch a train, forgetting that I had left the phone in my jacket pocket. And then the most unthinkable thing happened! The phone flew out of my pocket and onto the tracks right behind the train. I actually saw it hit the ground and the battery cover and battery breaking loose upon impact. I was just ready to cry right then and there. I picked up the 3 pieces, battery, cover and phone. Proceeded to put it back together and just basically praying it works. And to my amazement, it started up without a hitch.. it still slides as normal, and the phone still functions as it should. My phone has a few battle scars, but I love it even more now.
I have the white one which actually comes with a 256 mb memory. The only hitch is the Sony Memory Stick M2 micro, which is expensive and can only be used with other Sony products. Other than that, this phone is the BOMB!!
F***ING AWSOME.......2007-12-22
This product is just greate! I have had no problems with it, beside having to get use to different controls from my RAZR. The music playback surpasses the ipod, picture quality is superb, and the other gadgets built in it are fun to use along being useful. The headphones may be uncomfortable at first, but you will get use to it. The memory stick it comes with doesn't hold alot of music, so you may want to buy a larger one.
Great Phone/MP3 Combo.......2007-12-17
I had been looking for the right phone/mp3 combo for quite a while and finally settled on this phone after trying and rejecting the Nokia N75 -- no stereo bluetooth on ATT version, poor battery life. The W580i is a clear winner. Although I wrote much of this review on the phone, I would say that a heavy texter probably won't like the small keyboard.
Design:
Compact form, sharp, colorful screen and sturdy slider. Can answer calls with phone closed (not so N75). Don't like flips, wanted a candybar, but this now feels like a better format. Faux metalic finish on large front nav control already beginning to show the plastic underneath.
Nav buttons on the closed phone are raised, textured, and of different sizes and shapes allowing me to control many features without looking at the phone (not so iphone). This is great for stopping/starting the music player, ending a call, closing out apps.... without looking.
Keys have a nice click but number pad probably too small for heavy texters.
Menus:
Easy to use and logical. Easy transition from my 3 yr old Nokia. Voice recognition is speaker dependent, but works. Don't voice dial much anyways as most calls are on speed dial. Pop up submenus are also great and always seem to be where you expect them.
Calls:
Strong signal, no drops or interference. Sound from the speaker could be a bit clearer, but calls on the included headset are excellent.
MP3/Storage:
This is a really nice interface and the sound is very good and includes an equalizer. It is easy to complain about the proprietary POP port rather than a standard headphone jack, but the included earbuds are just fine for podcasts and non-critical music listening. Better still, their 2 part design allows you to plug in your own standard headphones and use the included headset simply as an adapter. This POP port design is a lot better than the Nokia one. It is easy to insert and remove but still stays put; not so Nokia.
Sony includes a POP to USB data cable, but Sony's included Disk2Phone music management software hangs up under Vista. Fortunately the phone synchs fine with Windows Media Player. Maintains tracks by album and artist automatically, but playlists can only be created on the phone. Album art gets transferred too, but only in a very small thumbnail (bet there will be a firmware upgrade to allow viewing full size).
Other phone management software works just fine and the phone shows up as just another drive in Windows, so you have access to all music and photos that way too. Threw away all the kid pics in my wallet and just copied the jpg's to the phone. POP to USB doubles as a spare phone charger.
M2 memory: yeah, another proprietary memory format from Sony. Don't worry, available cheap over the net with an adapter to allow use in any modern memory card reader. 2GB works just fine. I hear 4GB is out now. Inserting and removing is not very fun, and the card cover feels flimsy. Who cares, just use the included data cable and leave the memory alone.
Photos: Wow, not bad, but not why I bought the phone. No flash, still cant get zoom to work.
Web/Email: sorry haven't used these.
Other: Cute fitness apps, plus usual calculator, stopwatch, calendar... It's all here. Have not tried synching w/ Outlook or the like.
Battery life: Excellent. Play music, make calls, take photos, never use up more than a 1/3 of the battery in a day.
Myths: Battery cover hard to remove? Not for me. Slide a thumbnail in the crack, pop off cover. Cracking keys -- maybe, but not sure how much abuse you need to throw at them to make this happen.
Summary: Need a great phone and music player without heavy texting. This is it.
Returned them and bought Motorola phones instead........2007-12-12
Bought two of these phones for a family plan. Call quality was terrible on both (in the city of Chicago!). Lots of dropped calls, static, etc. Phone is cheap plastic (our new Motorola Razr and Krzr phones have metal housings, very nice). Typical Sony poor build quality. While trying to get the battery cover off of one of them, I ended up accidentally popping off the Sony Ericsson logo which was glued to the cover! I'd like to see anyone remove an Apple logo from an iPhone. Based on forums I've seen, I'm not the only one who had trouble with this.
The user interface is mediocre, meaning it's typical for a cell phone. One highly annoying problem is that I couldn't see the time on the main screen because of the color of the font blends in with the wallpaper pattern. And Sony only provides two themes, which do not appear to have any way of setting the font color. The only solution is to customize the wallpaper with a picture that doesn't blend with the font color.
Oh, and to listen to headphone using the so called "Walkman" feature? You have to use a special Sony adapter (included in the box) with plugs into the charging port, then plug the headphones into that. Now, this is the same as my KRZR, EXCEPT, the Sony adapter is this huge bulbous thing that sticks out of the side of the phone. Terrible ergonomics. It's readily apparent how Sony lost to the iPod just by looking at these terrible design decisions. I could just picture a product designer at Apple handing a design like this to Steve Jobs, telling him this is the new version of an iPod or iPhone. They'd be in surgery about an hour later trying to get the thing extracted from various body cavities.
I'm glad these phones are out of our lives. My wife hated them as much as I did.
nice and cool.......2007-12-07
It's the first time that I tried a slider from Sony Ericsson. Cool design, bright color, small size and light weight. Looks good and feels well - like it a lot!
The only thing is that even though I chose "open to answer", calls are picked up or go out unintentionally when the outside button is touched by stuff in the pocket/handbag. It is annoying still. Other than that, great phone!
