hi guys!

you might remember me as the dude who changed his keypad to silver...

its been a long long time since i have last done anything else very drastic with my s500i, but now i have changed my front and back housing to all white.

take a look and leave some comments =]

the only thing i dont like is the "s500c" doesnt look as good as s500i but thats just my opinion






















*pictures were taken on a d900i so sorry for the bad quality*

That is excellent, looks different with the s500c bit individual

Lovely phone.

That looks good mate. Black keys really go with the white as contrast

Why not post some pictures taken with your S500 here in the S500 pictures and videos thread


I cant work out wether my S500 housing is white or silver. Its the contrasted copper version.

where did you get the housing and key pad from

Posted by Rookwise
@DJ
There an identical S500c housing on Ebay atm. Just do a search for S500 in the Mobile and home phones section.

BRAND NEW WHITE Cover for Sony Ericsson S500 S500i

i got my keypad and housing from ccn.cn, but for some reason they dont have the white ones anymore?

gotta go ask about that, ebay most likely has them, i

@ >500 i live in melbourne australia, but im scared im gonna break your phone, i would gladly help if you need it though

@rookwise i believe it should be white? but sometimes when you look at it closely it does look silver

what i love about the new housing is that the phone feels so new, im not sure if the parts from cnn.cn are really OEMs, but its pretty damn good.
*i brought the keypad and the housing separately, but im sure you can find a whole set somewhere*

@shin - Nice modification dude ! Congrats . . . I hope that all the buttons are working

very nice!

Posted by shinjiz
@daviep - umm changing the keypad is quite simple, it doesnt require taking the whole phone apart, umm you should be able to find a topic on esato about it

Wow that looks great! I'm so impressed with the things I've seen and finding out that you can do with your phone since I've been visiting this site!
