          i got this phone some odd months ago and to be honest, it's just gets so tiring having to close all the windows before you can get to the main screen. if you remove the batter/sim card and put it back in, the date and time changes and you have to correct it. the buttons are pretty delicate.

          idk what else i liked about this phone besides the "everchanging" theme and the design of the phone and that it's ultra lightweight...'cause i switched to bb pearl lol

                hi i just got one of these phones and have found that the reception strength is crap, it keeps dropping out nd the strongest signal i have had is 3 bars for 2secs. i have other sony ericsson phone and i have full reception strength. is there any way in which i can get the signal strength to be stronger?

Its pretty but, even i love pretty things thats why i got this phone. Every key on my keypad is broken except for 2. I would never buy this phone again. Before i bought this phone i did my research on it, and all of what people said about this phone wasent good at all, but i dident lisen i just wanted a pretty phone and i still got it anyway noing what people have said about how crappy the phone is. Needless to say i got the pretty phone and its not built to last and the phone freezes time to time and i havent had it more than 3 months. i have never dropped it or wet it and i already have all of these probems. i hope you have recieved this message before you bought it. please if you want to ask me any thing here is my email mylittleeris@yahoo.com

                      this is a great phone. good sound quality and picture. only problem is the keypads, they crack up. other than that it is a good phone, i love it!

                        Yes to everyone, the keypad does in fact crack, yes on every S500 (even though it takes longer on some, and no Sony Ericsson has not decided to fix this problem after probably thousands of complaints and about a year-and-a-half. I really wanted this phone at one point but even then, I knew the keypad woould fail so I bought a N95 (I'm not disappointed). Plus if it means that much, boycott this phone! Then Sony Ericsson will see that there's a problem to fix!

                              if your keypad cracks, buy a new one, its replaceable! its not a big issue i dont know why people saying like its a major problem.

Staff of sony ericsson ADMITTED that the 1st batch of the units got "keypad factory damage". Bring your phone to sony ericsson service center & get your Keypad replacement for free. Fyi.

                                    i had this phone and loved it (until my sister dropped it down the toilet) but there was a problem with cracking, i got that repainted, and it happened again. so when the phone died in the toilet, i got the newer version, the w580i. same problem. if you care about the keypad cracking, then don't get it. other than that, absolutely great phone.

                                      I have this phone. I got it about 3 months ago, it's stil in good condition. If you like using it for music, like.. if you want to listen to music on it everyday.. you WILL end up having to recharge it everyday, most likely. I have never cracked my keypad yet, I don't see how it would happen if you take care of your phone.. you can add memory too. the video format used is 3gp.

                                        I've had this phone for around 4-5 months and my keypads have not cracked yet. My advice is to just be gentle with it and do not use your fingernails when your dialing/texting. My one complain is that the volume when I'm talking to someone is quite quiet even though the volume is on maximum.
