Summary: S500i
Comment: For people who do a lot of texting, this is not the phone for you. I bought this phone from my local phone provider and after 5 months of proper use, the number keys 1 to 9 on my keypad cracked in the middle. When i went to get the keys fixed, it was termed a "company default" and that "it happens".
Also the prts with chrome paint on it, the paint starts flaking slowly after about a month of use..
Please think twice when buying, especially if needed for TEXTING. If not texting .. then this might be a good choice.

Summary: Sony Ericsson s500i
Comment: I bought this phone November 2007, after 14 days the keys cracked. My carrier replaced it though it was passed the 14 days return policy. After two weeks, the keys cracked again. I sent it to the manufacturer hoping they would fix the problem. After one week, the keys cracked again. Since then, I have sent it in another two times, after one week of use. I still don't have the phone back from the manufacturer. I called my carrier, they sent me a third phone. I've used this particular phone for 3 weeks and so far no cracked keys, yet.

Summary: AVOID ALL SONY ERICSSON PHONES !!!
Comment: I am giving this phone and other SONY ERICSSON MODELS a BIG ZERO STAR not because it has any functional flaw in terms of lost signals, voice quality, wifi features etc. Even the phone with latest and greatest of features won't last for more than 6 months because of a very simple flaw in their design.
WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS YOU WONT BE ABLE TO CHARGE IT !! When you put the phone on a charger, the battery charges through a pin-point contact. (LOOK AT THEIR CHARGING INTERFACE CLOSELY AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE TO READ THE REST OF THE REVIEW). Its literally a pin-point contact. After a couple of months the contact becomes dysfunctional as you would expect from such a contact. Compare it to the charging connector you get on other phones.
Me and my wife bought two SONY phones which has the same interface and the contact broke in 6 months on one of the phones. Luckily both the phones were same so we managed to swap the battery each night before we got a new phone. There is no way out of this dead end except throwing that phone because the battery is perfect but you CANNOT CHARGE it !!...
Imagine someone gave you a Macbook Air with 2 spare batteries but you cannot charge the battery. I don't know what the bozos at SONY were thinking when they designed this phone.
And if that is not enough, they have the same flaky interface for transferring data, or connecting their head phone.
If any sane person reads and understands this review he will NOT BUY SONY ERICCSSON phones which have this NOVEL and CRAPPY interface. I am a big fan of SONY and 90% of all electronic items in my house is SONY, but this is ridiculous. The problem is NOBODY will look at this flaw when buying a cell-phone because its so rare that you cannot charge your cell phone even though the battery is fine !!
