SonyEricsson K500i
The Good :
Sporty and "tough" design, TFT 65,000 colors display, MP3/MP4 players, VGA camera, infrared
The Bad:
no memory extension, no bluetooth, rather bulky
SonyEricsson K500i is a medium-end phone with youth and game lover target market. At least that is the impression we found in its ads. The Splinter Cell game does run well in K500i, although not very spectacular.
First impression of holding K500i is that it is quite bulky. We will feel that the screen appears big and dominating the phone. The camera has a lens cover that may protect it from dust or splashes. Menu is pretty standard of SonyEricsson phones. The display however, looks brighter and better than previous models from SonyEricsson.
12 MB memory is just enough for handling pictures and storing a few title of games. But how can SonyEricsson forgets to install memory extension slots in K500i ? With its extensive branding of gaming phone from SonyEricsson, K500i should have that extension slot. And where is the bluetooth? Well, may be for the price, the bluetooth is too expensive to install.
For comparison, NGage QD or even NGage brings bluetooth, memory extension, and bigger display (but no camera) with only slightly higher price. With some 70 more dollars, you can also get the fantastic Motorola E398 that holds 64 MB memory card and 5 MB internal memory, 3d stereo speaker, bluetooth, and camera. Samsung X600 has brighter display, flash camera and 9.7 MB memory with similar price.
And how about Siemens CX70? It has 9.5 MB memory, USB port (a nice connectivity tool), camera, and push-to-talk to save your money. All you can have with slightly higher price than K500i.
Conclusion :
Of course, SonyEricsson K500i may not be the best choice in middle-end phone. But it has the winning factor as "rebellious" cellphone. Look at its a bit unusual design, and the blue casing color. And also the "protective" lens cover. Overall, you can choose K500i if you are already in love with it. But don't forget to consider other phones, 'cause you might get more value from them.
