Advantages: Seems ok. Disadvantages: Might be complete and utter failure
...has 12 icons. Like most sony ericssons.
On the front you have two soft keys, the back key, the clear key and two shortcuts. You also have the navigation buttons and the the middle button has a contrasting green trim.
But why I am reviewing my friend's phone...? Well you will soon know.
The phone is a slider phone and has a 2.0 mega pixel camera that you see when sliding the phone open. This also reveals two little lights that also change according ...

Advantages: Stylish, cool features, good quality camera Disadvantages: Not suitable for larger fingers, quite slow and sometimes crashes
I have owned the floral version of this phone (http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&rlz=1C1GGLSenGB291GB321&ei=jKciSsT4G5KsjAe82O2wBg&resnum=0&q=s500i%20flower&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi) for roughly half a year.
This phone comes in a variety of colours, such as black and green, white, yellow, purple and silver. However, I bought the limited edition Jemma Kid version, which is floral and aimed towards females. Apparently if you buy from the Carphone ...

Advantages: Great Features Disadvantages: Memory Space
The Sony Ericsson S500i is the best phone that I have had, and I have had a lot of phones reasons why it is a great phone are shown below along with a few bad points but every phone has bad points this one has a little less than other phones.
The fact that it is a slide phone mean that it is helpful for calls all you have to do is just have slide it up and the call is answered. The phone has great reception, which is good because the majority of ...

Advantages: Sleek, lightweight, large high resolution screen Disadvantages: Needs regular wiping to remove finger marks
Lovin' it!
Had few problems when first got phone but this was due to network faults rather than phone.
S500i will defiantly turn heads. It is equipped with many features for the mobile phone user who is always on the go & wanting to stay in contact with friends, family & work colleagues.
The overall design & style of the phone I believe is inspired by nature which includes the colour of the handset, the internal patterns & materials used to ...

Advantages: Very stylish with quirky features Disadvantages: Small memory
I brought this phone two weeks ago and have been very happy with it so far. It didn't really take any setting up apart from putting in the time and date. It's also really easy to get the hang of, and although I did look through the manual I probably could have worked it.
Look
This phone is stylish, and certainly stands out, with its sleek black case with green keypad and back (also availible in yellow and silver). It also has lights down each ...

Advantages: Looks great, clear screen, lots of features Disadvantages: Need a screen wipe!
This phone is what you would call one aimed for the fashion conscious as it certainly looks the part. It is also packed with too many features to mention, I haven't yet looked at them all! It is available in 2 colours and when you receive a call, the whole thing lights up. This is more of a gimmick than a useful feature though. It is very light weight as well.
Its screen is very clear and high resolution and can view photos clearly. The built in ...

Advantages: Visually stunning, a breeze to use, very pleasent to own Disadvantages: keys split!
I fell in love with this phone while I was shopping for a new phone. I saw the pictures and descriptions of it and I knew I had to have it. I will break this down into categories:
Looks/aesthetics: Simply stunning. Easily one of the most stylish and attractive phones out there. When closed, the phone is a tiny and compact slab of of reflective black with contrasting white edges. The colorful keyboard is revealed when the cover is slid up. The black ...

SUPERB phone Review ofSony Ericsson S500iby
curious1
Advantages: Easy to use, great setup, good music player, easy USB access, GORGEOUS handset. Disadvantages: No camera flash, cant rewind or fastforward music or videos, screen dirty quickly
...go "wow" lol.
Secondly, the way Sony Ericsson have set up the phone's systems & day to day working, really is just so easy to use & work with. It has easy quick access to WAP, a pretty good camera/video recorder (although unfortunately, without a flash - meaning shooting in dark atmospheres in near impossible) But then again, a phone is a phone, you want a camera, go buy a damn camera...Also comes with a handy little video & photo editor ("DJ") ...

Advantages: Lightwieght, attractive and easy to use Disadvantages: Low memory
I have owned this phone for 8 months now in purple. It is very attractive and people comment on how good it looks. It is easy to carry around and the slide function makes it easy to make and answer calls.
The camera is very good on this phone. The disappointing thing is that there is a very small memory and requires a memory card if you would like to use it to store photos or songs on it.
A particular feature i like on this phone is the 'themes', ...

Advantages: Never had any problems Disadvantages: weak vibration alerts
I was deciding between this phone and a cybershot one, but i chose this one because its so much prettier! I have the purple version of this model (it comes in a variety of colour schemes including the black one in the above picture). I have found no problems with the design or keypad and my phone has never needed to go in for repairs (I've had it for 6 months so far). The camera is 2MP and is quite good quality, though I've had better. The menu is ...
