              This phone is the greatest ever!

              I'm so glad i got it!

              It has fantastic animated themes and wallpapers!

              Brilliant camera and video!

              And it's so good for texting, I don't what you people do to the keys to make them brake, but i've had this phone for 1 year and a half and they are still in brilliant tact!

              I absoulutely love it!

              It keeps me amused all night and the moving wallpapers are just fantastic!

              If you are thinking about buying this phone, Don't think just buy, It's brilliant, absoulutely brilliant!

              Reccommened to every single one of you!

              It's to be honest a bit of a girlie phone, but you boys could easily get away with such a stylish phone like this!

              This is Sony Ericsson best ever!

              I Love this Phone!

                  after a year of using this phone. it's had about 4-5 trips to sony to fix key cracking problems. yet to this day. the keys continue to crack. it held up for a while then started cracking again. within a week or two i've had 3 keys crack once again. well.. i've given up on sending this phone for repairs. keys are still usable even when cracked, but doesn't look as nice. i've had a pretty good year with this phone even though about 1/3 of the time it was being sent for repairs. i've flashed it to w580 and dropped it a couple times. still holding up well. but the keys are pushing me to discontinue using it and to move on to another phone. oh well.

                  all in all:
                  s500i's a DECENT phone.
                  - nice screen
                  - user friendly
                  - appearance is nice
                  - okay pictures
                  - love the feel of the keys.. (until they crack)
                  - battery life is affected by the brightness and light effects
                  - cool flash themes

                  -- cameras only 2mp, w/o flash and zoom
                  -- keys crack
                  -- sim card insertion is weird

                  pros > cons (depends how the key problem affects you)

                  like i said. phones DECENT.
                  cheaper than w580.
                  just flash the s500 to w580 and its basically the same exact phone. slight appearance tweaks.

                      I've bought the s500i about 2 months ago.
                      Since i've dropped it accidentaly the upper part of the back was broken, so the upper part could only fit half. Since yesterday my display was also broken. It turns on and off after 2 seconds and repeats that all the time.
                      I'm really not satisfied with the performance of the cellphone.
                      The upper part of the back is now completely broken since i wanted to check if it could work better, so that is broken too.
                      All in all, a pretty phone witch brakes down very easy.

                          as for anonymous, you need your stuff to be immaculate??? why'd you bother posting? it wouldn't matter what phone you had if you'd dropped it, what a waste of space, and for the roughies who crack the keys, buy a tradies phone, its obviously a girls phone, look at the size of the keys for christs sake, oh and i love mine, its great :) needs more internal memory though, but overall not bad at all

                                  I've had this phone for about 8 months and my keys have cracked. SE agreed to fix this under warranty, but I think I want a new phone. I've dropped this once or twice and doesn't seem to have held up well. I loved every thing about this phone until I dropped it, then it became ugly ... but that's just me. I need my stuff to be immaculate.
