Hi-Mobile sent us over the Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman feature phone for a review, and we give it a whirl. It's been over a year since the last time we tested the non-smartphone Sony Ericsson platform and it's interesting to see the advancements in the software department.

Personally, I believe that as long as you run EDGE on its maximum strength (which is able to deliver about 20 KB/sec), EDGE is enough to do emailing, or use Opera Mini or use mobile sites. It gets slow if you want to connect your laptop to the network via the phone, but if you just use the phone as is, EDGE speed is more than enough, including for youtube videos or internet radio.
