And you forgot that he is ugly. He has many disadvantages.

i love w580 and s500 too,i believe they are two of the most stylished phones,but i am sick and tired of their keypad...

it could be yellow,as sony ericsson released S500 at yellow and green...And some other colours...

I like s500 in green and don´t like gold

If they keypad's didn't crack i would of got this phone... they keep announcing some safe week but they end up breaking anyways.

I really like the green S500 (gold doesn't look as good), really stylish, the only problem with it is the camera (no AF and flash) and small screen...

The review praises the keypad which I'm sure everyone at this point knows had manufacturing issues when it was released. The keypad is very flat - most of my friends describe it as too flat. My girlfriends can't use it effectively because of their nails; the guys don't complain about that issue as much.

If you have the S500i I would highly recommend using the W580i firmware on your phone. The hardware is virtually identical with a small difference in features. Using the firmware gives the S500i the superior Walkman media player instead of the clumsy one that is built in.

Mysterious Green is the nicest version imo. It would be cool if the phone looked up your weather information online and adjusted the flash themes to match it (e.g. raining outside and the flash theme shows rain). The way it is now is random.

i have buy the s500i in contrasted copper for my mum and thats nice ^^

I love my silver K750i. :D

now that is just YOUR opinion :) realy reviewers only say things about how the phone works and if it's good quality or not, opinions don't belong there.

Go ahead, delete my post again, just like u deleted many of my posts cuz u don't agree with me. fsss


On topic :) Nice review ;) When U want a radio, go for w580i :)

Who is that man that is ugly and has many advantages?:p:p:pAs I know from personal experience,"he" is used for a man,"it" is used for a phone...

Nice Day

s500 is a very beatiful phone, bright screen and vivid colors, nice design, but, there is a but....the numeric keypad cracked, the buttons split in 2 pieces.I thinck this is a - for this phone

I bought s500 , I am not satisfy
It s keypad brake and I have a charging problem , I charge it 2 times everyday:(:(:(:(

the looks are great!!! but quite pricey though!!

I think the w760 is going to blow the s500 and the w580 away. It's a way better phone than either one of the two, has a better camera, is just as stylish, AND has a better keypad so texting wont be so cramped and the keys won't crack

Although I'd STILL love to get a c902 (or the future c905) more than the w760

god, i hate that phone

nice i love my s500

Complete mechanical partlist S500, W580
Send big files the easy way. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

i love mine too. =) and it's flashed to w580 firmware so i love it even more!

nice phone, but main disadventage (generaly in SE sliders) is absence of flash

hi friends
i need themes original for s500i
thanks

please help me

Hi,
Sony Ericsson S500 is a mid-range slider of slim design and daring exterior, which offers very standard, not to say unoriginal, functionality. Available for around 225 Euro, the S500 is easily challenged by a number of Sony Ericsson models offering respectable functions in this price range. Which way you will go is just up to you.
The S500 will easily appeal to the senses, but the Walkman W580 could well be the more reasonable option. FM radio, fitness application, superior headset, and a 512-MB memory card are enough features to make the Walkman phone worth the additional investment.
