Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Awesome Sound Quality for Music, Simple to Use, Great Style!
Cons: Keypads Cracks!!

Overall, even though the keypads cracked, it still does not take away the awesome music sound quality on loud speaker and great software it has.

- Memory space is a lot and memory usage easy to transfer.
- Works a lot better than the W580i!


 

Ideal phone for the youth especially for the ladies

Nov 26, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: everything except the keypad
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.

Put this one on your shopping list (Best buy)

Oct 11, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Kool design, slim, great audio, display and battery life
Cons: Poor keys, but SE are rectifying (Chemical reaction between resin & paint)
Opinion:
Pity about boo boo with keypad, otherwise I would give this excellent slider 10/10.
Amazing value in Oz. $199 and prepaid from that man Richard Branson (Virgin Team). Coming soon, should be available towards end of October 2007 in Australia.

 

Nice phone but keypad stinks

Sep 28, 2007

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: nice design
Cons: easily cracked keypads
Opinion:
nice phone but keypads very very fragile. even after one replacement, the keypads still cracked. now would have to go through 2nd replacement. service centre guy said probably because I was too rough while using the keypad but then, what is the use of a phone if you cant use it for sms? I was very very gentle this time but the keypad still couldnt make it. am considering changing phone.
