Good

6.7

View score

The good: Compact design; unique themes with fancy lighting effects; hot-swappable Memory Stick Micro card slot.

The bad: Buttons are tiny; very basic feature set.

The bottom line: The Sony Ericsson S500i is a very basic slider phone and you'll be buying it almost mainly for its unique themes and fancy lighting at the sides.

Pros: Awesome Sound Quality for Music, Simple to Use, Great Style!
Cons: Keypads Cracks!!

- Works a lot better than the W580i!

Cons: cracking keypad
Opinion:
This phone is all about bling. Tailor made for the youth, it is sure to make heads turn. With little or no negatives, it is sure to be the next big thing!!


Looks and Build Quality:
While the build quality can be a matter of concern over a period of time, the looks are simply astonishing. CanÂ’t think of another phone that can match the looks of the S500i. Since the phone is supposedly ‘inspired by natureÂ’, SE has taken extreme efforts to make this phone special. The phone flaunts some flashy lights at the sides, a la 3220, except that they look much more classy! The phone comes to life during an incoming call.
