Review : I recently bought this beauty and found most of the features amazing to be fit in such a small model. You can find the silver one much appealing than the metallic blue model. Weighing just 86 gms the k500i is provided with a 1.9’’ display of 128x160 pixels and 65000 colours. You can definitely make out the pleasant display which beats most of the nokia models and even motorola e series.
The k500i also boasts a VGA camera sans flash but the pictures are really wonderfull and can be easily sent to your p.c. through infra red or USB.But dont be deceived by the T.V.commercials, the video captures are not of so much quality and each clip will be of less than 10 secs. But folks the sound quality is the best and can be recorded along with the video clip and also you have handy the QUICK SHARE to share with ur friends.
Coming to entertainment it has an mp3 player and supports java and you can play 3d games and download the same. The only draw back here is the shortage of memory(just 12 MB) you encounter when you try to store some mp3 tracks along with your photos. You can just kill the time when you are bored by trying the MUSIC DJ or using GPRS to surf. You should definitely give them a try.
On average use of the phone the battery lasts for about 2 days and remember the games section is power thirsty. I hope you too will love this tri band phoneand its hands free mode. But guys this model lacks an FM and BLUETOOTH which are common in other models of this class and you will definitely crave for much more memory.Wait till DIWALI expecting a fabulous offer from SONY ERICSSON.
Friends as I have said earlier offers galore from SE.K500i is now available for INR 11, 500-12, 500 and K700i for 16, 400-17, 000 FROM SE DEALERS all over INDIA. The other models like T630 n T600 are available for 10, 999 and 10, 499 respectively and with a gift of a gold coated silver coin. I insist you to buy from genuine dealers who give warranty as I came across many pieces which where actually assembled chinese ones and with unknown fate.Hope this info is usefull to all.
HAPPY DIWALI.
