I love this little phone. It's simple and very durable. Getting a new battery for it now, after YEARS and YEARS of perfect use. My new iPad will cover the other things that the F500 can't do.

this was my first sony cam phone ever, i remember getting it on a lank cheap contract, besides the fact that i couldnt find a new battery for this phone, i will say that for its time and price it delivered a great performance, thats something sony still gives today in their cheaper range phones.

As for the joystick, is best to push the joystick down from th top of it, and for up, from the bottom of it, and ryt push on the left of it, and left... to the ryt. :-)

This phone has too low memory and has the worst design, its buttons are too hard has a VGA camera which is totally pointless to put in a phone. It has a ugly vodafone logo on the bottom of the phone which makes the design shit. It does not support fm radio, 3G, bluetooth and countless other useful applications. It has a mp3 player but they cant be used as a ringtone. It has a fixed 12 mb internal memory which is like 2 songs?? Whats the point of having a mp3 playr in a phone if it has no external memory and has only 12 mb internal memory.

Out of 10 I rate this phone 0!!. Worst phone I have ever used. It deserves to be thrown away.

I used this phone for 2 years until i upgraded to a nokia 6234 last year. My opinion? This is my first and last nokia! The f500 just lasted a whole lot longer! Although it switched off by itsself a lot in the last few months that i had it, it didn't really have any other problems. I am convinced of buying a Sony E the next time i upgrade!

Brent, you are not alone, i do exactly the same to mine, iv dropped it, thrown it, i once fully submerged it in a glass of water and pulled it out and continued texting. Just the other day i threw it at least 7 metres into the air and misjudged the distance, it landed flat on a concrete path, the face plate came off a bit, i snapped it back on and kept txting. A little trooper is my Phillip (yes he has a name). I love him to bits but i got him second hand and the battery is really crap. it barely lasts a day when im not txting. perhaps will upgrade.. but i cant bare to part with dear phillip.. perhaos il buy a display case and keep him for old times sake. Oh there he is vibrating now with a txt for me.. Cherio then..
