aaaaaggghhh. it looks like a sendo, and has nothing to do with sony ericsson at all! what happened to the neat and crisp silver lines, with sharp edges and smooth finishes? the contemporary looks and he fashion and style? the f500i has red plastered everywhere, is not square, too curvy!!! who else thinks that sony ericsson have put no design into the f500i???
please please sony ericsson stop this design once and for all!
Posted by BOOYAR
Yes that sure is one fugly phone. Reminds me of some kind of siemens-sendo lovechild thats been hit by a spade by vodagroan
Posted by bohdan
Well, K500 look really nice IMO and f500i is vodafone phone, not SE fault
Posted by vanquish
where dya get pictures of the k500?
cheers

It looks exactly the same, except that obviously it's unbranded, plus there's no weird colours (blue or red), it's all silver, kind of like the K700.
You have to remember that the F/K500 is for kids, the K700 was for 'young people', and the F/K500 is for younger kids that like what the K700 has but can't afford it.

Thats what I thought, did not look like a SE at all! Horrible shape and colours. Can't belive they let vodaphone ruin their chain of amazingly cool phones with that. Who will buy it? The blind and the insane.
Posted by BobaFett
did the search but without any success. where are pix of the f5? tia
Posted by bohdan
K500
F500
Compare... K500 looks more like k700.. I like it
Posted by BobaFett
@bohdan thx! well, hope its features arent on the same level with this design ( imho )...

It is! no radio, no Mp3 ringtones. no IR and no bluetoth.
I guess not everybody is like us, they just want a easy phone to use, with just the featres that they need to use, and who is not to ecspensive.
i am glad vodaphone has bought the rights for this phone.
But i think vodaphone has ruined the design! And the menus are so ugly compered to K500.
Posted by BobaFett
any infos about the price?
Posted by wrecked_porsche
Yeah ... how much will the K500 cost ? Basic shape/outline kinda like the NOkia 3210 eh ?
Posted by Residentevil
Looks like a botched attempt to me from Vodaphone to influence the design of a great phone manufacturer.
Posted by Dazism
Of course most people here won't like it, we're used to the best here. SE don't intend it to blow everyone away, nor do they intend it to cost the earth. imho, it looks good for capturing a lot of the kids' market.
still ugly mind.. kids have no taste though.
Posted by BobaFett
it looks that for se the doesnt counts what operators are going to do with their design ( or look ). i do know that money is worth for a lot of things, but its a bit too much for it.
Posted by wapchimp
I think its not to bad a design. The new T230
Posted by nils7
200 euro I've heard!
Posted by vanquish
the k500 is quite nice- still too curvy a little but looks really comfy! it looks like noone is in favour of the minging f500. just as well. red, blue and silver are NOT sony ericsson!!!
vq
Posted by BobaFett
@nils7 200 euro for that. and how much for a t610 or a t630? ( just to compare )

@orangeman
do you mean the k500 or f500?
Posted by sn3ipen
I wonder if vodafone are using the same designers as nokia. IMHO The f500 looks like a cheap nokia.
Posted by BobaFett
actually, would be interesting to know, who made the design. vodafone or se?
Posted by bart
the K500 was desinged by SE and redesigned by vodaphone to make the F500
BTW the new Pxxx design is again ugly. read the rumor article on my site
Posted by BobaFett
Weird, that se let it be to this design.
Posted by 50Cent
the F500 looks terrible
Posted by bico
The SE K500 looks great. It reminds of the SE K700, which is good.
But what happend to the people that designed the SE F500? Did they forget their medicine? Did they forget to take the double dose? It looks terrible! I'll try to forget about it...
.
Posted by 50Cent
yeah it basically a K700 strtched out, hehe
Posted by Bianca
In my opinion the f500 looks cheap. I dont like the design. I like the t230 design better
Posted by bico
@Bianca: Yea, I agree, you're absolutely right! The design of the SE T230 is definitely much better than the design of the SE F500.
Posted by marik
u kno sumthing just hit me.....the k500 looks like the k700 becuz theyre the same series (just like the t630 looks like the t610) dunno if dat was obvious to evryone else...
Posted by napahlm
the f500 looks like fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
seriously, i wouldnt touch it even if i got payed.
k500 looks alright but nothing more, it has a feel of nokia 3210 over it. dont beleve me! compare them.

Strangely enough the SE F500 and the SE F700 are certainly not of the same class or in the same series at all, despite they are both designated F_00. The features and functions of these two phones are probably very different, as well as the intended customers.

@bart
have you got any pictures of the pxxx? or did you only 'see' it in person
Posted by bart
i saw it on a real picture. so no pc pic (so i couldn't store it) and not in reall life, so i couldn't take it and run
also i didn't see the keypad, it was that ugly thingy that you also see on the P900. oyea it will be a little bit thinner 2
Posted by BobaFett
@bart u mean layla?
Posted by sn3ipen
Lets stay to the topic.
Posted by swipe108
I think SE is going to do well by adding curves to K500. if they want to lure nokia user who are so used to the contours. once they've hooked nokia users on the UI, nokia users will forget about nokia.
Posted by artoroom
i think F500 is only for the vodafone market... i think K500 is the worldwide release and K500 looks fine to me!
Posted by 701
I like the design of the F500 and i am sure the price will be very good, so u get maximum functionality for a small price.
Posted by bart
off topic: he wouldn't tell me the name
on topic: specs are great for a low-mid end cam phone. but the designs OMG. its also strange that most great old ones who came here when they got there first T68m like, don't like the new SE designs. hmm i think we miss ///
Posted by BobaFett
@bart wise words... I do agree, that se still didnt found its own way of design. They follow the market instead of developing an own look, in case look of the fone, keypad etc t630 is still the best design for me, black, squared, big buttons. Of course i like to recognize and compare it to /// , but on the f, s and k seires could be any other brand logo, they are way too neutral to say: yes, thats an se!
Posted by JAGUY85
I love the K500. Looks like a nice phone to get my 12 yr old sister and get the K700 for myself.
Posted by Guy89
i like it too can somebody post full features and specifications of k500?
Posted by marik

r u sure about dat? cuz sumwhere i read dat the k500 is jus like the k700 except that it has no bluetooth or radio. also their is less memory (i think 12mb) Plus look at them!! the almost look identical!!!
Posted by Residentevil
Definitely an ugly duckling. But hopeless to become a swan.
Posted by kallegod
Looks like a toy, nothing for me.
Posted by superleeds27
the phone is great i purchased one from ebay.co.uk for £80 brand new.
The phone looks better when you actually have it in your hand.
Quality camera and video. brilliant playback on sound and video.
Vodafone will soon be releasing a patch for the phone so that you can have mp3s as ringtones.
3d games what can i say great.
Good battery life lasts about a week.
So its a great phone and not a terrible one.
10/10. well worth it
Posted by Dragonfly_TP
No one tortures you to buy it. If it is ugly (and it is, so with many phones) then don't buy it!
Posted by vanquish
but its a bad name to
tho!
Posted by govigov
man that is one ugly phone... how are you gonna use it in public??? the little girl tagging on mommy's bag walkin on the road is whining "mommy i need a little phone just like that man has..... please mommy...."
