I had this phone before, but now using K750i. K500 is a cool phone, i like the design- juz tht it is not really turgid and hangs alot too. The Joystick is the worst of all, after just 2 months of purchase, it could not respond. No matter how hard u move the joystick, nothing happens. Secondly is the craftsmanship. The silver area around the screen can easily torn off - mine is all gone after 4 months. The 'QuickShare' sticker at the bottom fell off easily.. sigh, its a good design but shame on some functions and especially the craftsmanship. It also lacks of Memory (Not enough for songs if u take 50 or more snapshots). The camera on the other hand is alright for a phone in tht class (i thought it was excellent bfr i got the K750, but still good for the phone!) The sounds are good, but none of these new SE ringtones (midi) can outbeat the previous Z600 ringers.
Overall, its a good money-saving phone. But if SE just change the Joystick to a normal 4-pad navi-keys, i would still be using it. Good phone (design, functions) but bad craftsmanship (Keys, >>joystick

by far one of the most troublesome phones i have ever had, when launched there was a group of us that got them due to price but everyones has had to be repaired at least twice in a year, bad joysticks, turning itself off, freezing and error messages "failed playback etc. dissapointing as i like sony products generally

All i can say is DONT GET THIS FONE... at first i thought it was great, good camera, great features and i still think this... but the built quaality of the fone is horrible... the screen and silver film around the edge of the screen scratch easliy, mine is almost all gone (this started within a week)... the 'quickshare' rubber thing fell off, the joystick works about 10% of the time now... it was the biggest waste of $450 (aussie).... im gonna get an e730, at least i know that wont suffer fro joystick failure.... all in all not a very good fone to own for 9 months mainly due to shockin build quality...

This phone is quite cheap for its class but if you use the joystick frequently, it will be insensitive. I'm having this problem now especially when I play games on my phone. Other than that, the camera shutter sound cannot be shut off so you might want to think twice before buying this phone. I have been using this phone only for 6 months and problems already seem to be popping up. Sometimes, your phone can even jam! I consider buying Sagem MY X6-2 because it's cheap and good at the same time. Anyone care to join me? Hehe.....

My daughter has this phone and is using it in Spain. It has been activated for three weeks and she can no longer hear incoming calls. It rings, the caller can hear her but she can not hear who is calling. Volume is all the way up. Any suggestions other than a defective speaker?

the joystick on it does go iffy after a while. i got mine about 8 months ago and now its hard to scroll down and i'm getting a pain in my thumb trying to do anything that requires the scroll key. two friends of mine are having same problem with SE.
