While the media player sets your adrenalin high, the Disc2Phone music management software helps synchronize. Sony Ericsson S500i also offer Bluetooth, EDGE, GPRS, and GSM network.
Sony Ericsson recently launched the mind soothing Sony Ericsson S500i, I have to admit it is very sexy cell phone and must have for the teenagers who are running behind fashion. I received a green colored model for a sweet review. At the first sight it stole my heart (don’t tell my girlfriend, else she’ll leave me).

So getting back to the review, the phone is very light to hold merely 100 grams, 94 grams to be precise, it has a slide open function, one of my favorites as it needs less space and buttons are safe from being pressed accidentally and size is reduced compared to candy bar phones, which can be as long as your grandma’s T.V. remote. The tiny baby holds a 256k color screen, though good I will say the age of color phones has phased long ago, Sony could have upgraded to 16 million color screen. The screen is 240 x 320 pixels and measures 2 inches. Good enough as Sony follows the same size almost in every phone they produce.

S500i boasts a Quad band connection, so you are free to rome across the globe, the cell phone has 12mb of internal memory, expandable through memory stick micro (M2), sorry to say this stick costs a lot, at least in my place, so music lovers with a small budget may have to wait for the M2 prices to drop, we have a decent 2 mega pixel camera in the phone with a mere 4x digital zoom, well this could have been improved to 8x, 4x days are history (well, at least for me), and I think Sony forgot the 3G technology has arrived, seems it has because I did not see this phone equipped with 3G capabilities.

Music ways Sony is rock solid, Sony’s earphone quality cannot be compared to anyone else’s, especially Nokia’s. In this case Sony is in the present and we have A2DP technology allowing users to listen music through Bluetooth headphones, (I really was messed up in the wires all these years, but no more)

The phone has inbuilt Netfront browser, even capable with RSS feeds, well I am not much into RSS, but users who are will love this upgrade too, since we have EDGE technology speeds were great, those who don’t know about EDGE, it boosts your internet speed, giving you an excellent browsing experience.

The phone also has Bluetooth, which is a common feature these days, talk time is decent 9 hours and standby is 370 hours, as the company claims. The Conclusion – Its clear the phone is a fashion statement, targeted among the youngsters the looks are sure to attract the crowd, this model will surely create some waves till Nokia launches something to beat it. For people who follow fashion, the phone is a must have, for others you can pass this one and wait for Sony to come with a phone with better camera and 3G capabilities.
