Sony Ericsson W580i
If it weren't for the you-know-what-Phone, Sony Ericsson's latestwould be the music mobile to beat. Though not as graphically inspiringas its sleek rival, the music player functions very well and evenoutdoes Apple's device thanks to its FM radio, stereo widening, andmuch louder speaker. A pedometer plus fitness software for measuringdistance, calories burned, and lap times make it the perfect exercisebuddy. Only major flaw is its undersize keypad, which seems to havebeen designed for baby Smurfs.
WIRED: Half-inch thin. Super light (3.3ounces). Browser provides easy Gmail and Google Maps access. 256-MBmemory card in box. Unique extras like TrackID, mini music sequencer,and video editor.
TIRED: No camera flash. Sorta pointless shuffle feature requires you to press a button, then shake.
