    "well sef how can you rate this phone for its performance if you havent used it yet .... you say you are rating it just because it is S.E and is reliable , that somehow makes you a fanboy too and maybe a fanatic too .... and i dont want to sound rude just my opinion"

    i honestly understand your comments, but what rating i gave was just right for this phone. yeah i may not used this phone yet not hold it. but as i said SE phones proved to be very reliable to me as an experienced user of so many phones, specifically SE phones. sorry if i sound ridiculous and SE fanboyish but this was my opinion. anyway even though i give this phone a high voting rate, it won't even bring the results up from the very low rate made by those Haters to the deserving point. and you're right, i'm an SE fan but not a typical fanboy.

              Yes. I think theres a group of SE haters that constantly vote 0/0/0 to any of SE phone.
              I suprised that only in 4 hr P1, S500, T650 score has dropped sharply.

                Yes it really is ridiculous to see how many people complain about the 3G issue. If you want a 3G phone buy another one. I really like this phone and I'm gonna buy it since it's the first slider that impresed me :).
                I don't need a mini office and this phone is not meant to be one. I have always had SE phones and have never been disappointed. They really make good phones.

                So this is definately my next phone and I hope it will be available soon :)

                  It ridiculous to see again again the same 3G issue.
                  The fact is even in this century not every country has the 3G infrastructure/support. If that is not clear to you, get some knowledge.
                  Not everyone needs 3G, not everyone wants to pay for something that they wont or hardly use and drain the battery.
                  There are many 3G models to choose from. and there will be more coming up, so have patience. Cheers!

                      JohnOrion:

                      to be honest, phone ratings here in GSMArena is very unreliable, this site is infested with haters, bashers and fanatics from different brands in which they always vote down the phone they hated even though they don't even used and tested it to ensure it deserves what they give. anyway i'll give this phone 9 in design, 8 in features and 9 in performance because it always deserves it as being a reliable SE.

                        Why are people giving this so low scores? Compared to Samsung U600, S500 is better-looking, sturdier and has a better keypad (and no touch keys to cause irritation). It does have 2MP camera, but are you honestly giving a fashion phone low scores because it doesn't have a digital-camera-like cam. BTW, U600's 3.2MP camera is very sluggish, so S500 should be faster.

                        I hope no-one here is giving this low scores because it isn't 3G. Again, not eveyone needs it and this is a fashion phone (3G not manditory). U600 doesn't have 3G and no-one is blaming it for this. Yes, Samsung has U700 but then again SE does have 3G mobiles as well. If you want 3G, buy a 3G-mobile and don't trash the mobiles that don't have 3G.

                        This will be my next mobile. I've been looking for a high-quality stylish mobile for months now and have spend hours upon hours reading everything there is to read about these things. S500 is definately the only slider I'm excited about. The only thing I'm worried about is how "plasticy" S500 is, but as it is reasonably thick at 14mm (and not ridiculous like Samsung's 10-12mm), I'm sure it's sturdy.

                          Actually, in some countries it's Q2 (in Finland it will hit the shelves within six weeks).

                                        There is a 3G version of this phone: it's the W850.

                                        But a slimmer version with a larger screen is coming out soon called Shinobu: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=133292
