Evrytime i get excited about buying this phone, i see someone here post a comment s saying "this phone sux0rz" "or nokia ftw" without givin a real reason, its kind of annoyin, cuz i research anytingi buy HEAVILY b4 investing
Lemme just say i have a RazrV3 ok...a RAZR!!!! lol (it was a gift)
So i'm just asking , when ppl say the build quality feels plasticky, cheap etc., what do they really mean.....does it creak, or does it feel like its goin to break when youi hold it in your hand??
could anyone who's come in contact with the phone compare it to the razr so i cud get a better understanding. PLEASE!!
..cuz i dont expect a 300 dollar phone to be made of metal like the shine or anything, so a comparison would be good.
thanks in advance

the poster was right phone here (sing) selling for around 270 us. to the same poster - true i was expecting too much for such a cheap price
what would you recommend as a well built slider? other than the sirocco, which is the only well built phone ive seen so far

Oh and to you juxi... my icons don't change when I change the theme. I'm not sure why, but it really doesn't bother me much. I gave the phone to my gf anyhow and bought myself the k810. I haven't got it yet,so I'm using my sirocco again. To anyone who owns the K810? Is the call volume anygood? I hope so!!! *crosses fingers* or imma get yelled at for spending too much money.

If your sim card doesn't work it's because you have to change the network manually. If it's quad band and unlocked then it should work. If it is not reading your sim then you should do the following: go to the menu sreen. Go to the settings option. then go to the connectivity section on the far right.(click right on the cursor 4 times) you will see mobile networks. click on that and you will see search mode. choose that option and it will search the mobile network. If that doesn't work try new search. Both options will work. If all else fails you should contact the person who sold you the phone. Let's just hope you don't have to!

to the comments below about having the sim card not working, if you read carefully
S500c 850/900/1800/1900 MHz for China Mainland
i believe that you shouldn't had it unlocked and imported from the HK because the network was different in the China Mainland. I hope this was helpful.

is there something wrong with the SIM card compatibility with this phone?... it was imported from HK and it doesn't have that funky TIM band logo on it =p for some reason.. any sim card that i've tried so far doesn't work on this phone.. and the phone is unlocked

What were you expecting for the price? common really now... If you want a high dollar phone you gotta put out some more money. This phone already dropped to 250!! I thinks Its good enough.

went to the store today and tested the phone out. Feature wise it is good but the build quality is terrible. As bad as samsungs. Feels like a fisher price toy. Very disappointing. Looks better online than real life.
Anyone else feel the same?
