I'm looking for a cheap phone but with nice features and i've found the w580. I know it's an old phone (2007) but it's still amazing. The only disavantage is the keypad / display crack problem, i don't if this problem has been fixed. I've read some users talking about this problem and others than say that it doesn't get cracked.

It costs 140 bucks (i'm not from US, so it's overpriced) .

I was thinking about getting the w995 because i takes awesome pictures but i don't like the quality of its videos. My budget is 350 dollars so i can get a nice digital camera with a w580 instead of getting the w995.

What do you think?

Get the W595, it's the improved version of the W580. W995 is the best walkman though.

You probably mean you don't like the W995 QVGA (320x240) resolution video but then again, so has W595. Because at around 800kbps in 30fps it probably has the best QVGA video recording in the market. Most QVGA videos hover around 400kbps, which makes W995 videos viewable in VGA size really. So I don't think W995 video should be a deal breaker but rather a deal maker

Thanks for replying! (and sorry for my english)

well, if i get the digital camera it doesn't matter that w595 has better camera than w580

the only reason why i would go for the w595 is for the 580's keypad crack problem
w580= 140 bucks
w595= 200 bucks

i love the design of the w580, does anybody know if the keypad crack problem has been fixed?

It hasn't been fixed, if you buy W580 the keys will crack.
