I don't know where everyone is getting there information from but this handset is due to be released within Europe (including the UK/Ireland) later in 2005. Furthermore, this handset is also presented on the european sectors of the SonyEricsson website and also tagged "Coming Soon". I think it is highly inappropriate for some people announce such things when it clearly is not factual (announced by SonyEricsson). I am looking forward to getting this handset soon but I am deciding which UK network to use it with (assuming it becomes available on more than one network). Vodafone have a nasty habit of customising the handset software kernel with their own branding and preventing mp3 ringtones (the kernel is not replacable with an unbranded as Vodafone handsets are also physically branded and coded during manufacturing). I therefore may decide to go with orange.

Hate it. There is a ridiculous delay when trying to type in numbers, many times some are missed, the screen is almost impossible to see in daylight (and not very intense light at that in Vancouver), low volume speaker makes it hard to hear callers, etc.
I'd rate it junk.

I love this phone. it does everything i want. mp3's and animated backgrounds. to answer a couple questions, you use the dcu-11 data cable with mobile phone monitor to send and swap anything on your phone. you can use www.mobile17.com to do whatever you want to send to your phone...or send to yourself and use the data cable to connect. k. laterzzz
ps. Get this phone. the reception is awesome....the ringtones are loud and can be mp3 music and voice, and there is a speakerphone/camera/videos!

Does anyone know how to clear the envelope icon on the phone where there is a voicemail message? I cleared all messages, and the envelope doesn't go away like it should.

Just to make it clear--I was not going to pick a phone based on the appearance. Both phones seemed to be equal in all other aspects, so since I liked the appearance of the z500 better, I was just going to go with that one.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the post below.

I got a cell phone on Saturday--a motorola v551, but I wanted the Sony Ericsson Z500a. They were sold out and I was told they'd recieve more the following week, so I took the motorola temporarily. I kind of like the v551 and all its functions, but I like the appearance of the z500a better. Both seem to have the same abilities (which was why I wanted the z500a, because that one just looked better to me) and about the same ratings on this site, so I was wondering which you all would recommend I go with. Please email me (smiles7287@hotmail.com) or respond on this board! Thank you so much. :)

We have owned our phones for 6 mos now, and my wife has the Moto 220 which has less features, worse camera but better screen (smaller and still grainy) but is smaller for small hands/pocket, simpler ease of use. My Z500 use is more casual compared of course to my teenage daughter... :-) who has explored alllll the features. First, the cingular site on phone comparisons greatly underestimates the standard battery life. When new one phone (daughter's) wouldn't charge; after trading batteries found it was the battery unless the cold boot settled the problem. My daughter drains it every day and with little use I recharge every third day. Next time I'll upgrade the battery. Better cam. Screen is the better type with better resolution while giving up brighness-- this type is difficult to impossible to use in the Florida sun. (Hint- when camera is set to night exposure expect grainier shots). I have dropped this phone 4-5 times from waist-high on hard surface, and after removing and re-installing the battery it works fine. I have recorded clips at the Beachboys concert, a large wedding, etc, great for on-the-scene emails ringtone use etc. 10 sec/clip default but you can reset it for more. Expect memory to go fast though. Still shots shutter sound (for privacy of the subject?)is permanent but Moto 220 is silent and discreet. Most kids here have the Moto 551 (I think the cam-phone of choice at higher price) but after getting to know her phone daughter loves it. Z500 is good value though and personally like it better than the Moto 220.

I just got this phone a few days ago, it seems pretty nice.It has froze a couple of times.I dont really like the camera quality.Neither I like the size but it has some pretty good reception. Anyways I got the usb data cable to work with my computer. If you have trouble connecting it, IM me at (AIM)lOcCartmanl or MSN im_fuc_king_u@hotmail.com.
