Sony Ericsson S500i

TheUnholySinner · 19-10-2007, 11:30

Hi, im looking to get a new phone, maybe on a cheap contract, or to buy as long as its under £130. Its to replace my Nokia N73 as i hate it.
I came across the SE S500i and thought it looked great, and having being an owner of SE phones before, i know they are usually good, but does anyone own this phone who can comment on it?
Just want to know if you can change the looks of the flash menu (not just the theme) like you could on the W850i - if it uses flash? Are the options/menus quick to access? What is the sound quality like? And lastly, is the keypad good/easy for texting?

If anyone can recommend a different phone, please do. I am only looking at a Nokia or Sony Ericsson though, wouldnt touch or consider anything else.

Many thanks!

You do realise the Nokia 6300 is a bit 'no-frills' compared with most other phones?

What does that make my old N73 then? Cos the 6300 is much better than it in my opinion. Makes the N73 look well outdated with the features and looks on it.
No frills is a phone that cant even display animated wallpaper - let alone notbeing able to use .gifs as screensavers (N73) lol
