Are Sony Ericsson‘s designers thieves? Because it looks like they stole the stars from the sky and put em into the w580 Slider. Meow.
We’d written about this midrange phone before, but it wasn’t until *tonight* that I realized just how beauuuuutiful it is. It’s the little things, really. Like the downturned bottom end; the orange-anodized aluminum back around the 2.0MP cam; and the faint glow on the buttons and sides. Utterly charming, especially when you consider the Sony Ericsson OS and the second gen Walkman software and MusicID. Highly recommended, even more so than its waifish older, skinnier sibling, the w880. and as Travis noted this morning, it IS coming to the US. First, even.
