hey guys!
i'm thinking of buying this phone. can any of u K500i users pass me a piece of advise or two? do u think this is a good buy? it's available for me for around 170 US$. from authorized dealers of course. and for that price a phone with better features is hard to come buy, where i live. i don't much care for a high end phone. this phone would really do. so if any of u could tell me if this is a reliable phone that has value for money, i'd really appreciate it.

MFH, as much as you want to think that this is a megapixel phone, it is not. it is only a vga camera, which means it is 0.3 megapixels. and yes the craftmanship is disappointing and the joystick is rubbish. i've only used this phone for less than 2 months and i had enough of it. the battery cover tends to jerk, because there isn't any lock for it, its just clip on. trust me, its much more worth it to get a 3660 with the price.

K500i is a medium high end phone-mobile and cool, but Siemens M65 more better i think

The phonebook spec. stated (in this web) it was 500 phonenumber with 8 entry. Well, it's not completely true.
It contain 510 contact number, meaning when you save 3 number (ex. Mobile, home, & Office) for one person's name, it will reduce 3 space on the phone book, instead of 1 like in other brand such NOKIA or PHILIPS.
Can anybady tell me, is there any PC Software can read video file *.3gp created by this phone??

I had this phone for 6 months and im quite satisfied with it. I dont know why you guys complain about the camera but i think its super fine! Maybe the images shown on the display is abit blurred or pixalated but when you send it to ur computer, its as clear as a 2MP camera. Ive always take pictures with the K500i and had it printed out at photo shops. I like this phone because it has a 1.3Mega Pixel Camera, you may not notice it or is written on it or in the information but it does have a mega pixel camera.
The sound quality is excelent especially for MP3s, its loud and full of bass. But the only problem is that you only have limited storage of 12MB and no expandable slots and it doesnt have bluetooth. But other than that, the K500 is a fine piece of mobile equiptment from SE.
As i said, im quite satisfied, not fully as some problems occur, such as the joystick not functioning well and the lack of quality in craftsmanship. The area around my K500 screen (the silver bit) is worning out, you can see the insides and it doesnt look good. The Joystick is having so much problems. You cant direct them to the direction you wanted. Sometimes it stalled and sometimes you cant press the centre. Now the phone doesnt look as good or feel as good due to the joystick and lack of quality in craftsmanship. Anyone has the same problems??
I bought this phone for RM1199 in October and had droped down till RM799 untill today.
Pros
+ High picture quality
+ Budger Mega Pixel camera phone
+ Clear sounds (both poly and MP3)
+ Satisfying battery life.
Cons
- Small 12MB memory space maximum
- Lack of craftsmanship quality
- Joystick malfunction
- Low pixalated LCD screen
Btw, if you also have problems with either the craftsmanship or/and the joystick, please reply back the post. TQ

the camera quality is pure rubbish. especially in dim areas or during the night.
even taking pictures in enclosed areas (buildings, etc) during the day comes out in totally poor quality. totally crap. can't even see a person's face, only a smudge of skin color.
