Sony Ericsson K500i

...had decided I wanted the Sony Ericsson T630 which was on sale for £130 but when I went to the sales assistant I was informed it was no longer in stock and showed me the Sony Ericsson K500i and told me this was the latest model as it only arrived on the day before I brought it, the original price was £150 but they sold it me for the price of the other Sony Ericsson so I decided to go ahead and buy it. The only thing I was really disappointed at was ...

You also get the charger. Also once you register the phone with the network you get an extra £3 of credit after 30 days and the wap facility is free for 30 days. I’m not sure if this applies to every network ...

The layout of it is really simple to follow as well and includes a start up wizard to help guide you through. The good thing as well is the help is always stored on the phone so if you ever forget you can always go back and check. The layout reminds me of ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K500i

...had been very impressed by Sony Ericsson in the past and found them better Nokias in the build quality, software, and style were all far superior. The K500i is also very cheap at a similar price to competitors less well-known and Sony Ericsson. I believe you can pick one up for around £80 on pay-as-you-go or from free on even the cheapest contracts. ---Features--- The biggest advancements between the T610 and the K500 is that the camera quality ...
...good quality as with all Sony Ericsson phones with a good degree of crispness and a high number of colours. The screen is also very large, which is useful when you taking pictures or reading text messages or e-mails. The very has all the features you expect a modern phone including e-mail, multimedia messaging and GPRS Internet access. I find that the predictive text was better than most manufacturers’, because it incorporates your own words and ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K500i

When I first came across this phone in the display of a shop window, I thought to myself that looks like a very nice and compact mobile phone. So I went in and checked it out and was assured it was top of the range by the shop assistant. The price was well within my range and I thought £85 was an amazing deal for a phone which appeared to have many great features. As I used it more it became apparent that it wasn't as good as it came across. The ...
...it came to the picture quality, it was brilliant and took a very clear photo. Also when recording using the video function, it gave a great quality video. I found that when taking pictures the screen was also very helpful as I could see a wide area as the screen was a great size. It had other features such as e-mail, GPRS and infrared. I found the Infrared very inefficient as most people had Bluetooth. Also it could be said that when sending files ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K500i

I've had my k500i for just under a year now, I got it as a replacement for a broken seimens S55. I had read the stats for the k700i and bought the k500i by mistake, basically missing out on bluetooth. Other than the lack of bluetooth though it's a nice little phone, it has a reasonable camera and can send pictures and take videos (though you can't send the videos and it definitely won't allow video calls). It came with a load of pretty good games, ...
...that these are as standard. The battery life is pretty impressive for this type of phone, I've seen it last 3 days without calls, I don't make many calls (I text most of the time thanks to a pre-pay O2 genie sim that gives me 300 free texts a month) so not sure about length of battery life when calling a lot. I do remember from experience in the past though that manufacturers stats for call time battery life are based on optimum signal and the battery ...

...nifty features. The Sony Ericsson K500i has a lot of good and useful features, and they are not hard to use either. Its main attraction is good quality camera pictures and videos, though it also has other handy features such as a calendar, sound recording, an alarm, a stopwatch, WAP, a calculator and a setting that can remind you of tasks to complete. First I will look at the integrated camera. The K500i enables you to capture both photographs and ...

This phone is also WAP enabled, meaning you can surf the web wherever you are and have a world of information in your palm at just a small cost. It is also possible to send and receive emails on this phone which is a useful feature for people who are always on the move. Quality ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K500i

The K500i is a great quite cheap phone for what it has, it has mp3 player, video recorder, camera, colour screen and infrared. The colour screen is great, really bright and colourful. The Reception is good but like many other phones when in shops or underground it isnt too good. It takes about 3hrs to charge. Talktime is about 10 hours. You can buy it at any good phone shop for about £90. One of the downsides is that it doesnt have bluetooth, a new ...

It would tell me i have no space left in my inbox and to delete some messages, when i have done that i wouldnt recieve the text for about 20mins maybe longer. So the memory annoyed me alot. Also as ive had my phone for 2 years now i know that the navigator button, the circle one in the middle, has worn down a ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K500i

If you can put up with not having bluetooth this phone has plenty of features such as a calender, java games and a decent media player. All of these functions work perfectly for about 10 months but after that I started to notice that the joystick needs a bit of an extra push to get it to work. After a year the reception got really bad and the joystic almost completely packed in. Now, one and a half years since I bought it it is still in this poor ...
...but i get nothing, It seems very random whether it lets me call anyone and i dont bother using it for anything other than calling and texting because the joystic is too irritating to use. So why am I still using this phone you ask, well to tell the truth its because there are so many other things that i want to buy and a new phone is way down my list. And thats what it is at the end of the day, a phone. as long as it calls and texts thats all i ...

This phone is very easy to use and has a lot of the same features of the T610 with a few minor changes. The phone unfortunately doesn't have blue tooth and i'm still struggling to send things via the infra red. The select button is on top of the back button and has the habit of reversing what you have just selected. If you just use the joy stick then this will not be a problem. Another feature which they've removed is the access to turn your phone ...
