s500 in short terms

2 Nov 2008 luxan

8.7 out of 10

I had this phone for almost 4 months now I have to say it's a very beautifull phone and very elegant.Sony did make a mistake with the keypad and a lot of users are complaing for the keypad to brake.But Sony knows about the cracking problem so all the new S500 which had been packed THIS year,in some late month (around july or june) have been reinforced so the crakcing isn't a problem.


I have to say that I am very pleased with this phone and if anyone want's an opinion should he/she buy this phone then it's the best buy stylish mobile phone!!!I guarantee you won't be dissapointed!!





-slim design
-good battery life
-cool themes
-friendly user interface
-small keypad
-function buttons are some times hard to use

i had the s500i. sony replaced it after the 4th time they worked on it for cracked keys. very frustrating. was happy to get a new phone (w580i) but now the keys are beginning to crack. my sister has the same issues with her s500 so..........i wouldnt throw away your old phone if you get one of SE's sliders.

love the phone !

However after three days i noticed that the keys began to crack ! The '1' key completly fell off meaning i had to go through the trouble of sending it back off where they replaced it without a problem.

After recieving my new phone three to four weeks onwards all the keys had cracked again and the star key fell off i am now in the process of trying to sort out my phone!

apart from the key pad i would rate the S500i highly !
