Sony Ericsson F500i

If you're looking for a first phone or just a simple long lasting one for business, then look no further! I've had this phone for almost 3 years now, so it's really strong. Most phones mess up in about 2 months!

This phone is great - until it wears out. The joystick wears out easily - leaving you clicking it many times before it responds. Also, the phone crashes frequently after about a year of use. I found my battery wore out very quickly and soon found I had to buy more. Now though, it is completely dead and my search for a good phone restarts - hopefully with Bluetooth!

Well, I've had this phone for about 3 years. It's been battered, bruised and left out in the vegetable patch for 3 weeks during the winter, and it still hasn't broken down on me.

The Sony Ericsson F500i is a very reliable mobile phone.

Well, the Sony Ericsson F500i is totally awesome cause we love the phone cause we can take pictures of our self and send them to everyone in the world! The camera is sometimes a wee bit doggy but I really like the phone. Everyone should get one and you can send pics to everyone in the world.

I would recommend this Sony Ericsson F500i phone to anyone who isn't too bothered about great camera quality. Great for the money and people couldn't believe that it only cost £59.99. Good reception any where, ease of use( simple menus), good features for a cheap phone. Try finding a better looking phone, so feature-packed for this price.

I bought the Sony Ericsson F500i as a backup to my v3RAZR but after a week I kicked the moto to the kerb - This mobile phone converted me from a Moto freak to a crazy Sony freak!

When I bought the Sony Ericsson F500i mobile phone I knew that it would be so cool, but when I started using it, it was better then I expected.

It had infrared, polyphonic tones, and even real tones.

so to anyone who is going to get this phone; I am sure they would like it.

If you ask me, the Sony Ericsson F500i mobile phone is well cool! Some people complain because it doesn't have Bluetooth, or that the camera quality isn't as good as expected. Well what do you expect from a phone? A high-tech Digital Camera, or an up-to-date MP3 player with loads of memory? If your buying it for the camera, don't buy a phone, buy a camera instead! This phone absolutely rocks!

I bought this phone as a backup to my Nokia 6230, the first backup I bought was a Motorola smartphone, that messed up after a week and so I replaced it with this Sony Ericsson F500i, I thought that at this price (£60) I couldn't go wrong, I wasn't disappointed! This phone works really well, it does just about every function you can imagine, the camera is pretty good quality, the midi (polyphonic) ringtones are stunning, loud and clear.

The keypad is a little too cramped and if you sms/email a lot the hard to push buttons could become tiresome. Unlike my Nokia 6230 this amazing little phone is able to send your photos to email addresses, not using mms but by using the email function in the messaging menu at a fraction of the cost of mms.

The screen although good and clear does lack resolution and colour, compared to other phones the screen looks faded and washy but this isn't too bad and can easily be lived with.

If you want a phone that looks good (except the back), works very well and is packed full of features and functions you cant go wrong with this little beauty!

I bought a Sony Ericsson F500i 3 days ago in an O2 shop in Glasgow I paid £89.00 for it, when I got home I charged it and stored everything in it, I also went through all the features there are hundreds, this is an excellent phone for the value of money.

(P.S Argos is doing this phone for £79.95)
