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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review

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', ... Read review

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Great looks, very good features
Disadvantages: keypad cracks

My friend bought this a Sony Ericsson S500i during the last quarter last year. The style and looks are very impressive and the features as well.

The Sony Ericsson S500i comes with a 2 megapixel camera, a video player, a trackID music recognition, an MP3 player as well as AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+, as well as a built-in handsfree.
