Design
Bird's S580 has a standard design for this class handsets, measuring 44 x 107 x 20 mm and 75 grams. Despite the weight it has a good feel in the hand, and the good shaped plastic body and styled highlights give it an attractive and nice look.The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 128 x 160 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Bird handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The S580 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Bird handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.

Performance
Audio quality on the S580 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 hours talk time or 100 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
