[p00crumz]

ive had this phone for a month now im guessing.
within two weeks of usage, my number 2 and 6 keys have cracks down the middle =[
sighhhh. when i first noticed, i was reallllly upset >o<
i like the phone though. x] ha

[taehyunee]

the rims looks really cheap...i think. its plastic and when you drop it. the side starts to crack first. but I gotta admit, background and look wise, it looks very thin and slim. and I saw it in person =).

[Conni<3]

yea its KINDA worth it i guess.. im getting it for the looks. the features are..okay i guess. its pretty cheap..so yea. i think you should get it.

man i heard so much of this. the keypad is made of real bad quality and design, breaks like meat pie. i like to get this phone but the keypad puts me off. if it breaks try and get it convered in warranty, they may decide to put better quality keypads and also in the new butches if people keep sending them back.

the lights and the day and night theme is cool tho

[p00crumz]

yeah this phones considered a "fashion phone" i guess.
and it supports the name ha. the lights are cool, you can customize em for different contacts, along with pictures and ringtones.
the day n night themes okay, but to see the night theme you gotta wait til nine and when its day its like idk 8 in the morning?
i personally dont like it that much, i like the menu though. i think the everchanging themes better.. eventhough its feminine. the background is a flower of some sort, and i think every hour a different effect occurs like; stars, rain, butterflies, etc. i've noticed that the background changes.. every three weeks? yup yup.

Gosh, thanks for advertising this phone. kididng. LOL. Your just making me want to buy this phone. LOL.


I'm also wondering what site is a good place to buy this phone? The cheaper the better. : )

[(^__^)v]

I just got that phone yesterday. I think its HOt. I love the lighting effects.

so far that look like the cheapest that i've seen but i don't know if that site is realiable.

http://www.plemix.com/ I heard that site was pretty good to buy phones.

Any ways i got that phone for 150 but i brought it at a viet store.

[BBShine]

^ EY! I just got this phone yesterday too! Oh man, I LOVE it so much. I used to think the chocolate was sexy, but the S500i just TOTALLY blew it out of the water.

mann, after hearing what you've said. this phone is a must get for me. xDD gonna get it in hk when i got in august. ^^

[p00crumz]

i must warn you if youre a heavy texter! XP

[Conni<3]

^
LOL! yea i heard the keyboard was like...pretty BLEH. some of the keys werent really smooth or smth. but i have two phones one for texting and multimedia stuff and one for just phoning ppl ^^ so i should be fine.

[mori]

O__O oh no... what makes this 's' series not so great is that it DOESN'T SWIVEL like the previous 's' series phones - and i luv it when it swivels since u can play games on it like a handheld controller which is more comfortable.

s700i is still great. i <3 old expensive phone

[p00crumz]

haha maybe the S in the S500 stands for something else now.... SEASONS?! lol maybeeeeeee XP
yeah.. the keypad is pretty cheap. ive got 3 cracks, 4th soon to come, because i text so much ha. terrible.
so now... i either wait for a better handset to come out, buy an alternative phone so i can have two, or i can just do both

[lananhcali18]

wow, the keypad sound cheap. I'm getting it for my mom so I guess she doesn't text much but talks a lot. Is there anyway you can prevent it from cracking? like put on the protective case or something at least.

[embol]

S stands for slider.

I have this phone. Got it when it first came out so I never had the chance to see what it looked like before buying it.
It feels really plastic, you can almost hear it creak when you hold onto it too hard.
The text buttons are really small and are not meant for big fingers.
However, the background from the Everchanging themes got me. The background changes every 10 days, so 3 times a month. The morning colors changes within the ten days. Since I've had the phone, it's been purple, orange, yellow, green. The night time background is always blue.

[Dollyholic]

GOD IM MAD!!!!!!! -.-

I bought a SE850i for $400 USD 40 days ago, and I just found out the S500 is selling for $320 at my place.

WHAT THE HELL???????!!!

THE S500 IS VERY SEXY, INDEED!

[87ers]

S stands for slider.

Actually, I think the S stands for style. Can't remember where I saw it though. It can't stand for slider because the previous S model had a swivel function, not a slider.

[I_broke_a_nail!]

the phone isn't the best thing I have ever seen.
i seriously think you're just paying the extra hundred for it to be a slide phone.
..
..
I was so going to buy it.
I really wanted that yellow one.
but then when you slide the phone up, below the keypad (the part you talk into) is poking out.
It really bothers me.

The whole black and green thing is definitely hot.
