    They are basically the same phone. It's just that the the W580i has the Walkman application and the "Shake" feature where you can skip tracks by shaking it.

    Re: Wrist watch Cellphone $245!

    I would suggest the 810i personally.

    I am a small time cell phone Vendor, I vend locally.
    I switch phones all the time and I have used pretty much every phone and I've decided to stay with the 810.
    The features are much better than the S500.
    What I really enjoy is the flashlight, and the 2.0 megapixel camea.
    The S500 is also 2.0 but isnt as clear for some reason.

    I think you should go for the s500 cuz it's very neat and the design is very genuin. But it is'nt the best phone though. But the w580 feels kinda cheap and i know you'll get annoyed with it.

    I have the W580i right now it's great with the walkman feature which the s500 doesn't have. It also has a pedometer, but eats up your battery though. I think that's like the major difference between the two.

    I would definitely say that W580i is a better mobile. Most of the features of W850i is better than that of s500i

    Re: S500i or W580i?

    well, who is the provider? I got my w580i for 25 bucks with a new 2 yr contract. Its supposed to be 50, but my wife works for att. A girl i work with got the 500i thru cincy bell, and cost her about 200 bucks or something. No contract on her end.

    Are you buying the phone outright? I dont know what the price difference is, but the phone itself, I would go w580i. Basically same phone, more features.

    The only difference between the S500 & the W580, is the W580 costs slightly more & it has a radio, thats it.

    Re: S500i or W580i?

    The S500 looks better and fancy. seems more costy.

    The W580 looks good, but not as fancy. It features the Walkman feature, where the S500 does not.

    So depending if you use music a lot, that would be a good way to pick between the two phones.
    If you like using your phone for music, the 580 would be your best pick.
    S500 if you dont need as much music from your phone
    Hope this helps.
    Have a great day.
