Sony Ericsson S500i

its a very good that works well ans is easy to use

THIS PHONE IS SMALL BUT LOOKS AMAZING IF YOU LIKE SLIDING PHONES.SCREEN CHANGES COLOUR WITH LOVELY BUTTERFLIES .

ONLY THING THAT BUGS ME AT TIMES IS TRYING TO SLIDE IT OPEN . CAN SOMETIMES CUT OFF CALLER.

this phone is so lovely to use and all the little aesthetic features, such as the everchanging background and the different coloured lights are lovely. the phone is not too girlie (mine is gold/yellow) but i just love using it! sounds quality is excellent and the features that allow you to personalise it are great.

one minor criticism is that i would like the key lock to go on automatically even if you're in the middle of an application so nothing can happen when it's in your pocket or you have to quickly turn your attention to something else. i do like the fact that the screen stays the same and you don't loose data when you do close the phone. i don't quite get two days out of the battery, which i suppose is down to the high power screen and features, but again, this is a small criticism.

The screen smashes if dropped :(

small memory on the phone.

looks nice, loud speakers, easy to use and overall the best phone i've had so far !.

the battery does'nt last long and you have to buy a memory card for it to hold more then a couple of songs!

Being a designer I've had many positive comments made by colleagues with regards to the look/design of this phone. It's absolutely great, it's funky and it comes in a very compact, slim, stylish shape. The only downside is unfortunately the battery life and that is due to the super flashing look you get when the phone rings and when you use it for a long call. So if you are prepared to have it on charge a bit more often then other phones well...that is the price to pay if you want a phone that looks great! Roma'72

its cuite girly phone, looks nice with the lights ect screen changes are nice.

battery is really rubbish, my key pad has split already! cant recieve incoming calls or outgoing calls well! ive never dropped it i keep it in a little pocket thing and yet it still looks like ive had it for 2 years ive only had it a couple of months. also i find that it is slow and has very little memory its a really naff phone im not impressed and wont be getting another one i wouldnt recommend it to any one either.

nice looking, small, light features, sony navigation is always good and I always go for their phone

having the internet connection on easy access closed part - i have been on the internet for hours without realising because it is so easily pressed when you are sliding the phone closed

The phone looks small and stylish.

The phone's battery life is very poor compared to the other 3 sony ericsson phones that Ive had. The key pad buttons are extremely poor. Within 3 weeks of me having the phone, 6 of the keypad buttons snapped. I had to wait 3 weeks while the phone was sent off to be repaired. I have had it back just over a week and 2 buttons have snapped again. I am in the process of making a formal complaint. I would not recommend this phone to anyone!

the organiser is very good

synchronisation with other networks

It is a lovely looking phone, reasonable easy to use, excellent quality photo/video - I actually filmed some owls this weekend and did not expect the video to be any good as the sun was slightly in front of me and the screen was very dark, but when I played it back the quality was amazing. Navigation is good and the directory nice and clear and the screen savers good too.

The only bad point is that the battery life seems too low and I am topping up every 3/4 days even though I do not use the phone excessively.

This little mobile phone is so cute and girly, i used to have a pink phone but now everyone has one so purple is a bit different. The picture and sound quality of the phone is really good.

The battery runs out quite quickly, although it is probably my fault for not charging it for the correct length of time when i first switched it on? Who knows.

I like the look of the phone and it's easy to use

can't store many photos on it without buying a memory card, keys cracked easily on the keypad, doesn't go back to home screen when you slide it closed, no light for the camera for night photos and not many options for the camera

Looks good, mp3 player is great. Overall impression A++

I would recommend, the battery life is short though and removing the back panel is problematic.

small and quite easy to use. Good sound (music) and looks stylish.

battery life could be better.

Sleek, good looking & stylish. Easy to use & doesn't get lost in may bag as much as others have. Comfortable to use when texting & speaking. Clear when talking & speaker phone is clear. Was easy to set up & get started.

Battery Life is really poor. Screen started pulling away from the casing a bit, but did pop back in, just felt a little flimsy. Buttons on top part of phone are a bit small. I have sometimes connected to the internet without wanting to when the phone was in my bag.

good sound quality easy to use my teenage daughter loves it

The battery nees to be charged every single day

Very easy to use, excellent battery life, looks cool, synchronizes easily with PC.

Internet button on face of phone means you can accidentally connect to internet when phone is in pocket. Inserting sim card can be fiddly.

Love the phone, is easy to use

Instructions weren't that clear as to where the switch on button was, found it eventually

Great compact design - very girly

Material too thin, breaks easily

looks nice easy ish to use music sounds fantastic pleased all round

navigation/ keypad ok but i do not like where you have to keep using the backward symble unless i not sussed out all it does yet

Easy to use

Internet browsing, even when phone is on lock, it can be activated, I have occasionaly found mine running for a few hours even though I have not physically activated it. So i'm being charged for Internet browsing, of which I didn't want to use at that time.

small, lightweight, easy to use, good camera.

several keys have split in half within months of having it. NOT happy about that at all!

Small and compact. Camera very good. Music is good.

Switching on very poor.

Looks smart. Nice & compact despite having all the features that you need.

Difficult to get a case for.

the keys have all broken

Design - it's something different, i love it! Features - it has everything i need in a phone, music, camera etc. Use - it's easy to use and set up to do exactly what i want

Memory card - sony ericsson have a different type of memory card to other phones, so i couldn't use the one i previously had.

Attractive looking phone with some good features. Godd variety of ringtones that are completely different to most that you hear from other manufacturers and phones. Like the everchanging themes on the skin of the phone, that change dependent on the day and time and change every two weeks or so.

The keys have cracked. I had had the phone just about a week and a half before the first key cracked. I now have 7 of the 12 keys with a crack straight down the middle!!!! Not sure if they will all go the same way but it is apparently a fault with the black phone only.

Nice to use and hold, nice smooth slide.

Battery life is good for the first week, then battery can run down in 9-10 hours without evn useing the phone

Buttons on phone have broken after 2 months and it has gone in for repair

looks great,can listen to music

The design of the phone is really nice, the phone itself is easy to use.

The keypad can be a big annoying at times,

Love the look of the phone, have had no problems with cracking keypad.

Battery life low.

Signal strength too weak Buttons too small

Good design and i like the way the side lights up when you recive a call and when you open it.

The battery does not last very long.

small, neat

the keypad buttons have split on 3 of the button

looks cool!

The battery is not strong at all, quite dissapointing.

I love it!!

Can't seem to use the bluetooth, maybe its just me!!!

I bought this phone for my daughter and she does not dislike anything about this phone she loves listening to music different screen saver different colours on the side of the phone camera

Gorgeous graphics, really pretty "girl phone" nice and easy to use. Takes good photos too.

Key pad can be hard to see in some lights or for people with poor eyesight

just a nice phone but as its not a vodafone fone it makes it difficult to connect to voda live

uses battery power quite badly, other than the statement I made about vodafone - thats it

It is compact, simple to use, the navigation between the functions is easy to do and the colour is a conversation starter!

The battery does not appear to last more than 48 hours before requiring recharge

I like everything about the phone, its easy do use and looks good, would totally recommend.

There is no bad points that i have found on the phone as yet.

Ease of use

Battery cover is hard to remove

Looks good, ok memory, good pics and videos, compact

slider design sometimes sticks

I love the way the background is changing all the time, its fun. Its a nice looking phone as well and very easy to use.

Only bad point that I have found is that the battery has quite a short life.

Looks great and is used as a music player most often

look good, small light and compact

some of the buttons have split into two, sometimes turns itself off

good camera and video and easy to use

no flash on the camera

looks good , easy to use, compact.

camera not very clear.

LOVE COLOUR

FEELS A LITTLE PLASTIC

Easy to use. Lightweight and compact. and looks great

Battery life is not as good as previous phone. camera quality isn't great

everything other than the thing mentioned below is of good quality.

it has got a low memory capacity, but this is easily sorted out with a memory card.

easy to use, a doddle to set up

no radio

Looks good, easy to use

Back lid only opens with knife blade! Camera broke within 3 weeks.

just a good smart phone

have not got any

this phone has a really sleek design and stands out from phones alredy released this year. It has some really interesting feautures such as an everchanging theme, great games and easy to use menue's. Over all its a great phone...and i havent seen anyone ells with on yet so its kind of unique!

there arent any, this phone rocks :D

Colour and size network works well in our area

Had to already go back to store to have it reset as keypad keeps freezing!

very simple to use

Nothing bad about this phone

The nature screensaver is amazing!

The games are rubbish.

It is compitible with my TomTOm - I get texts read out!

It has had to go away for repair - it drops calls. I would like different contacts to have different text alert sounds as I answer some 999 sms messages with it. I never know whether it is friends texting or and emergency.

it just looks good

battery life, memory card slot doest close properly, cant insure the phone after you've had it for about a week

Lots of features and easy to use, although the select buttons are quite small and sometimes press the return button in error.

Memory is quite poor and we needed to purchase a sperate memory card as none was included.

small compact and light weight with good desighn

battery life and camera isnt the best and has no flash

love the design. its just an alround good phone

none so far!

Good looking phone, very good camara

Keys are difficult to use at first. Zoom not possible in camara mode. Easily breakable! chips very easily and falls apart with ease!

fantastic cool phone and good price, excellent memory

everyone wants to use it

Pretty!

Bit dull,nothing speical

The colour is nice and has a great theme of ever changing

Key pad is flimsy and battery life isn't the same as my other W300i

Looks Great

No Radio

keypad buttons cracked easy, not had the phone long, battery life is very short, camera could be better

It looks good

It fell apart after 2 weeks

colour

it does things on its own(connects to internet/random dial numbers

small, easy to use with a lot of features

battery life very poor

It looks good

Phone shouls have been made as a walkman. Could have done with more internal memory.

Love that it's purple - but then I am a little sad about the whole loving purple thing! Easy to use with great themes and sounds.

Battery seems to be gone in a flash and it has a nasty habit of pretending that I can only make emergency calls only to work perfectly when I try to call a non emergency number.

There is nothing bad about the phone. I am well pleased with it and would tell anybody to buy one.

Slim and compact. Very easy to use. Good features in general.

Buttons are quite small, I sometimes catch the wrong one although it is alright once you get used to it.

its easy to use and i love the fone

noun bit to low but thts not a big deal

Lovely phone, good look, easy to use/understand, love the everchanging feature

very slow to react, during a call the person at the other end is very quiet even when the volume is full

the everchanging theme is really good and the lights at the side of the phone and the features that come with them.

when i bought this phone it broke after 12 days, the buttons on the key pad craked in half and because it was 12 days i couldn't get my money back as sony ericsson said they can only allow the retailer to do exchanges but i did get an exchange so i just hope it dosen't happen again as im stuck with this phone as i cant get a refund.

Poor sound quality, poor battery life, poor coverage compared to other phones on this network

Good looking, features are good. Overall most pleased.

Battery life not very long.

I love this phone! It looks gorgeous, feels solid, is easy to use, and has great themes and ringtones. The 'Everchanging theme' is so much fun! My last 3 or 4 phones have all been flip-phones, so I wasn't sure how I'd get on with a slider, but it's fine. The camera/video are much better quality than previous phones I've had.

I haven't found anything bad about the phone yet!

I have tried 3 times to install the software and each time it has crashed my computer

Everything about this phone is great easy to use, neat in size, and the choice of colour lovely

The only bad point I have about this phone is how long the battery lasts.

Looks good and very easy to use and also small and compact aswell.

The camera could be abit b
