I am having A LOT of trouble deciding between which phone to get. Price will not be a factor here. The thing i like about the s500i is the everchanging themes and the LIGHT EFFECTS (thats a big one) but the biggest thing thats scaring me off is the broken keypad problems, and yes, i have friends who own this phone that have this phone made on weeks 28, 30 and 31, all 3 have broken keypad problems. The W580 is nice, but it doesnt have the light effect, i have a mp3 player, so the walkman is not really important to me, both cameras are the same so that doesnt help me lean towards one or another, anyways all your thoughts/comments appreciated. thanks. |

uhmm the w580 also has light effects on the side but it is not fading or whatsoever.. and it is also a speaker fone..if you want style go for s500i but style+functionality go for w580i(this is what im going to buy)

both s500 and w580 have lighting effects! both function when the phone is ringing, when you get an sms or just have the slide open etc. the lights are indentical afaik.

the ever changing themes is nothing major, but is kinda cool to say the least  the theme only changes when time goes from day-night, 4 seasons of the yr, summer autumn etc, the flowers change....
as i said, its a nice little touch, but i dont want to look at my phone non stop just to see the theme change 
go the w580i, its better built too  slide isnt wobbly/wonky when its slid up and using the dpad like it is on s500 (though the s500;s slide might be different now, im not sure, i had one over a month ago)

I dont know why you're deciding the phone on the basis of changing themes and fancy wallpapers, there're more to phones than that. Question is, if you're a music oriented person or not

In a few months there'll be the W910i which is like a W580 but with 3G and larger screen...
I wouldn't worry about the keypad problems. Now that have acknowledged the problem, any issues will be easily sorted out. Just make sure you buy from an official supplier.

i'm thinking about getting myself a w580, but the fact it takes vertical shots is really disappointing. (i found it at SE's website btw)
