Well for those of you who remember, last January I got a new Sony Ericcson w580i. (the black / orange one).

I absolutely loved, as much as one can love a cell phone. Yet after having one dead battery, and the same unit a few months (and cracked keys) later unable to slide open with out trying to slide shut. Then I got a replacement w580i. Well yesterday it also died out.

While it had been having some trouble sliding shut or open after longer phone calls little did I know it was going to die. While I suppose it is partly due to the slider again, or maybe the cracked keys... the phone ripped around my keypad so bad it lifted off in places, and still won't sit flush.

So AT&T is giving me the w760 instead of another w580i.

Strangely, I still like Sony Ericsson phones. Granted my wife's LG CU515 hasn't had a lick of problems, and she enjoys telling me so.

I can't wait to try out this new Sony Ericsson phone. I'll give some impressions when it arrives Mon/Tues.

Oh and no I don't abuse my phone. It was never dropped, mangled, thrown, kicked, flushed, etc. I always kept it in a separate pocket from my keys or money. I guess i just used it too much. ??

OK, well here are my impressions of the w760a.

w760a: "Hey there buddy, why don't you check out all my awesome new features and stuff!"

me: OK, i'll just go to your menu....

w760a: Sweet, just go ahead

me: Ok here we go!

w760a: *LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG*

me: wtf?!

w760a: What you want something?

me: yea, i wanna browse the internet

w760a: Oh, ok... lemme see.... internet.... internet....

me: GAH, just load media net

w760a: sorry i gotta shut down really quick

me: but i didn't tell you to do that!

w760a: *off*

me: Turn back on dammit!

w760a: Oh hello, you again eh? ... by the way you got a text

me: sweet

w760a: yea, but i won't let you check it I gotta shut off again.

me: WTF!

needless to say, its pissing me off.

I've swear this phone hates me, in fact i'm sure its e-soul is blacker than that of "Fridge" from samandfuzzy.com ... which is hard to imagine since fridge was possessed by the devil... but moving on.

Hopefully i'll get another w760a here soon, and just take it back to AT&T and get a new phone cause the AT&T people i know roll like that. (i'll have to add another 2yrs to the contract... but hey its almost time anyhow... whatever)

But back to this horrible devil...


Now apparently its taunting me. During music playback, the reason i got the sony to begin with, it has officially decided not to let me hear half the song. How i don't fucking know. I hear the voice, and low tones... but not a single fucking other sound. The annoying-ass ringtones aren't affected but my stuff ... *poof* only some of it am I allowed to hear.

I don't like this model. Generally speaking the sony ericsson w580i (http://www.10facts.com/article/Technology/Mobile-Phones/Sony-Ericsson/Sony-Ericsson-w580i.html) will fail in any comparison to a Nokia one in the same price.
