Sony Ericsson S500i

First and foremost, this phone is the best I've ever owned. Sony Ericsson always seem to make really cool looking and acting phones and this is no exception. Really reliable and suitable to me needs. Looks: I own the flowery version of this phone and it's really beautiful - I'm always getting compliments on it! Another plus about this phone is the seemingly endless range of lighting effects and background themes available on it - I love the 'everchanging' effect which changes the colour of your menu screens it seems every few minutes - really pretty! Ability to set your own photos as background is fab! Ease of use: The layout is the same ...  Read the complete review

This phone certainly looks great (which is mainly the reason I bought it) but the quality is awful! After only about 3 weeks after buying it two of the keys on the phone split through the middle! As I've said is is a beautiful looking phone which can be bought in four colours, green (which is the one I have) yellow, purple and copper. It's very slim and very glossy. I don't normally like the wallpapers that come with phones but I found that the wallpapers that came with this phone were actually quite nice! I love the fact that the background will change according to what time it is or what the season is. The lights are also great. When you slide open the phone ...  Read the complete review

My friend bought this phone, roughly a year ago at a what was a fair price back then. The S500i is aimed at women, and has a special feature that will change your theme (when you open and close your phone, by sliding it). In January you will get cold colours which will slowly change and become lighter and greener, perfectly in time for spring and so on. I've heard it is quite nice in December when it is christmassy. And with a black cover and green keypad it can look quite nice. The menu is fairly simple and can be changed, but basically has 12 icons. Like most sony ericssons. On the front you have two soft keys, the back key, the clear ...  Read the complete review

What a popular little gem this turned out to be! I knew instantly, this handset would win many hearts. And so it did! What fascinates me about this phone, above all eles, is the design and colour style of it. It's just a little gem, like I said, it's beautiful. The shiny plastic looking cover is elegant, and the green dials and metallic looking pad is just delicious. I preferred this black/green to the yellow version. S in Sony Ericsson stands for slide of course, and yes, S500i is a perfect little slider, aimed at customers seeking at low-mid range handset. Nowadays, low-mid range handset don't really mean much, except that it's affordable - since ...  Read the complete review

I bought this phone a couple of months ago after searching hi and low for a phone that fitted all the requirements. The phone wasn't for me but was for my mum, who had a very fussy list of what she wanted and what she didn't want. Basically she wanted a slide phone, with large buttons or buttons that she liked and you could press, not the ones that are flat such as those on a Samsung U600 or motarola's. She wanted at least a 2MP camera, bluetooth, an attractive looking phone, a phone that is easy to use and the most important of all no more than £80. As your probably thinking i had a hard challenge on my hands, that was until i came across the ...  Read the complete review
