[Teresasea]

@krzyfresh The old version at least this must be better tho

[maddybabez]

[SeraNguyen1984]

[parchment52]

[shortshorty4456]

[marcotamazildjian]

I LOVE YOU S500I MI PHONE

[nickmp4]

what is se123?

[water2mel]

I have one, but I hate that the sound is very low, so when I'm in the car or there's a bit of noise I can barely hear the other person speaking. I always put it on maximum, but at other phones at that volume ppl near you can hear who you're speaking to, on my phoneI can barely hear with my ear stuck to it :(((

[opalyankaBG]

Well you can flash your phone to make its speaker louder.

[water2mel]

how do you flash it?

[opalyankaBG]

There should be forums or sites where it's shown how do do that so just search in Google for "how to flash sony ericsson". Good luck!

[punjabreunion]

i bought this phone yesterday and it is purple. it seems to be a very fine phone and it has every feature that a great phone would need. my question is how do i change it so that everytime i press a button it vibrates? my friend said that i must change the theme but ive tried all themes and it still does not vibrate..

[mantas1111000]

sorry, but why on the phone there is se123? it suppose to have the s500

[dylby2]

se123 is because this is a prototype not the real model, so that would be its prototype number, not its model number

[soundbounce123]

cos its a prototype

[tman37647]

omg LOVE THIS PHONE!

[robyjay]

aheheh i have the w580i the walkman version of this phone but i like the s500 mobility looks and the green black shading that when it is night i turns to night ahehe i like this lifestyle phonethan the walkman version .but they gave me w580i even i like the s500 because the design i like motorola Sexy ness

[amerix]

The main differences between the S500i and W580i are a different software configuration and the S500i doesn't come with a memory stick in the box.

[Games2shacka]

weel is for man and women im going to buy one today

[bechiiik]

What'S the difference between the S500 and the s500i ?

[bibledude005]

[robertop699]

[kyr92]

[hazza414]

i think the w580i is better

[kellykel123456]

[jvrdlc]

YES i got da k550i.. i luvv ma cell its perfect i luv da cam.. but i might get the new 1

sony ericsson k850.. but yea my cell is da bestttt

[lordytoo]

dunt get k850, get the nokia n95, it beats the crap outta sony ericsson and samsung alltogether.

its a smartphone therefore u can add cool apps that do cool stuff.

and k850 is very sensitive to scratches and falls.

i had 3 k850's all of them fell and broke the first time. but my n95 dropped about 5 times now and its still perfect.

the build quality on k850 is nothing compared to N95, just trying to help u know, its gonna be probabley very sad if u get a k850 and drop it. then u lost 500€ LOL

[mycatneon]

hey im have this phone it was good at first but now it got so many problem it turn off buy itself keep saying insert sim heat up heaps any ideas what wrong plz help me

[theunderground777]

the phone is awesome...but the battery is quite week

[WereCatAngel]

what do you mean by weak - how long does ist stand?

[SamHD]

in the sony ericsson website it says that it lasts 9 hours of conversation and 370 hours in stand

[alanykl13]

one of the best sony ericsson phone ever!!!

[anamarija22071994]

[degtukai]

[chewi15]

hey, i was wondering if some one culd plz tell me wat would be a better phone, the SE s500 or the SE k550.

-thanks

[snakekiller110]

if you want a good camera phone pick the k550i the camera on it kicks ass its almost better than the k880/800 AND its cheap

the s500i is (i think) the prettiest phone by SE

[oduvanchikrus]

This is the worst phone I ever owned. buttons crack, screen layer doesn't fit the frame. Service is terrible.

[ILuvMusic1323]

The lid to cover the battery on the back bloody doesnt slid in easily and properly, aswell.

[oduvanchikrus]

That was the least of my worries with this phone. My girlfriend's cousin is in court over this phone and Sony Ericsson's service. She bought it against my advice.

[GoldenMVP19]

You guys don't know how to keep your phone it proper condition, I have had phones that lasted me years and I use phones alot. And sony s500i is a good phone, just you gotta be smart with pretty phones.

[oduvanchikrus]

S500 is crap! I never dropped it and never misused it. SE used a green paint that deteriorates the buttons until they crack. We have free market so we pay full price. SE won't allow their phones to be returned. You have to pay and send your phone for repairs. All other phone companies will allow a return or exchange. This particular phone is a lemon and they know it. The black and green phone has the problem. And it is still cheaply built. It isn't worth the price I paid.

[nobleambitions]

I totally agree, ur phones great, but u just treat it like crap

[LadyMorgana18]

awesome!!!!!! i love it

[goalkeeperdr]

It is labelled "SE123" as it is a prototype. Genreally SE's are labelled this before in store release.

[kokobeanie994]

buddy thats a s500i you dumbass. lmao i have tha phone in my hand and for some reson yur says se123 it supposed to say s500i

[danwatts1]

How Do You Change The Backround In The Music Player??? My Mate Done It But I Dunno How To!?! thanks

[maxx89gabytzu]

can you see videos in full-screen mode? (the ones with proper resolution)

[Krasotka1988hi]

Hi! I have a problem,i opened the music player folder and erased two music that already were installed in mobile phone, then I've just go back to the "music" folder and became in shock!!! There's no "Flood" and "Everchanging" music! I erased them accidentally! Please, help me, if you have that sony ericsson s500i, copy these two music for me by usb cable, please! It's very important for me!Only people who have that mobile phone can help me!

[pirate632]

Go in Sony Ericsson official page, you should find them in download, no thanks;D

[stead9999]

this fone is awesome! I got it today. The only annoying thing is that my buttons somtimes creak

[alkibob]

im gettin this fone for crimbo :)

[sirkoda123]

i want this phone@!!!!!! 0o

[Tamajd11]

where can i buy this phone

[emceeballer1]

Yeah, I am picking dis shit up ASAP, the cracking issue is with the plastic esque keypad - but I hear it's really only a problem if you slam down on the keys and you have big goofy hands, lol, so if you don't text up a storm or if you do but aren't too rough with it, you should be safe.

[welshandcrazy]

im gonna sound stupid now but is the S500i the same as the S500??

I dunno but pls reply cos i dont know and i wanna buy it on sat!1

REPLY!!LOL

[jessicaqiuru]

yeah it's the same.

[welshandcrazy]

thanks!!lol

[GolldLining]

yh it is

[118jaspal]

which is beta dis or k770

[kokobeanie994]

the real s500 is better this is an s500i get the s500 its way superior

[ALLYEATYOU]

i get the w580i about the same size and all but no cracked keys. i dont text tho haha :)

[KeeDjie]

it really does crack..

Ive got the phone now for a week of 6 and my whole keypad is cracked..

and in the store they are nothing going to do about it, they just told me i didn't had to press too hard..

screw them..

[Jasychoo]

[KeeDjie]

no, just like I pressed on my other phones, guess the keys of this sony ericsson are a bit sensitive or so..

[Jasychoo]

or so... ?? wat?

[KeeDjie]

or something..

[Jasychoo]

[KeeDjie]

[Jasychoo]

[jessicaqiuru]

ok i may sound stupid but erm please tell me in detail coz i'm thinking of buying it..

[shadowviper69]

did you know that this phone has the same features as the w580 except for radio and pedometer thing. But the w580 cost alot more than this does, just because its a walkman. And what is the theme in this video called?

[aestro92]

It looks unique and original, but i think maybe a bit chunky. And i dont like the curve at the bottem of the phone. Just me. =)

[carlo1cool]

really good phone but the software of camera is not good for me because i like me more the software of k810 or something like that because this phone have a good display very big but the software of camera is not good, but the model is very nice,very elegant and that is cool.

[KeeDjie]

the phone really looks nice, only too bad the keypad breaks very easily
