Advantages: Lovely pink, excellent picture quality

Disadvantages: Back cover is very hard to remove

I bought this phone as a pay as you go a few months ago and I absolutely love it!
The model I have is the W580i Pink. The colour is a nice pale pink so not too overpowering, however when you slide the phone up it reveals a very bright pink surrounding the camera.
As indicated this is a slide phone. It has a simple slide closed to lock and slide up to unlock. There is also the option to answer a call but simply sliding up the phone and ending the call by sliding it closed again, which is a feature I like.
When I was researching this phone I read reviews regarding the keypads splitting and a friend of mine had this problem as well. I have so far had no problem with the keypad splitting, so whether this issue has been rectified or I have a lighter touch, i'm not sure!
This phone comes with a 512mb memory card so can store a good number of photos and songs. Photo quality is excellent, 2 megapixel camera, pictures appear very clear. Phone comes with a lead to connect to a computer or laptop so photos can be uploaded and also photos and songs downloaded to the phone. Photos that i've transferred to my laptop still appear as very good quality.
The phone comes with some good games, including the very addictive Lumines Block Challenge!
One negative is the back of the phone is extremely difficult to take off. When trying to remove the back cover to insert my sim card I had to consult some online instructions, but got there eventually! Thankfully I've not had to remove the back cover again!

Summary: Excellent phone, I love it!
