Broke key issue is recognized officially by SE in Germany. The reason was a chemical reaction between the keypad-resin and the green paint. So only the green S500i built before W(eek)27 are affected. You can check the "construction date" by taking out the battery and check the sticker on your mobile device.

The MP3 player is decent, playlists are ok. I see nothing wrong with it but mind you this is coming from a former MOTO user. The keys work after being cracked, my cracks on the keypad are straight down the center of 2 and 6, they look like surgical lines b/c they are perfectly straight suggesting that the pad itself is too weak. Karlz, on the defective S500i, what is the confirmation you received?

The main defects are the keypad, overall build quality and firmware. I suggest everyone to stay away from this until (if) they release s500i v2.

My S500 did not come with the memory card (micro m2), but I bought it separately, 1 giga SE M2 for like 34 bucks.
And yes, inserting the sim card it is a real pain, and taking if back off is even worse, but then again, how offen you actually do that?

Sarah:
Deciding which phone to buy it's really entirely up to you, all I can tell you is that to me, S500 is a much better option. Here's why:
S500 / Nokia 7373
Extremely nice looking / Too girly
Light effects / not light effects
everchanging themes / probably just 2 themes
4 bands / 3 Bands
72 channels (audio) / 64 channels
12 mb internal memory / 2.5 mb! What a JOKE!
Video resolution QVGA / QCIF
the only good thing about the n 7373 against the s500 is the FM radio, S500 only has RSS to listen over the internet radio.
But hey, it's all bout what you like best, nevermind what the rest think! =)
Cheers!

Hey guys, STEER CLEAR from S500i for now, i got info from official service center that S500i is 'DEFECTIVE', there are major design flaws right now especially with keypad/sim holder and firmware, and i was told that a hardware revision is in the works possibly 3 months from now.
Cheers
