Best features in its price/class. The Nokia 6610i and K500/508 are available for roughly the same price and this phone eats the 6610i for breakfast. 65k color screen vs 4k colors. 128x160 vs 128x128 display. TFT vs that aging and poor quality/laggy STN dislay. 12mb memory vs 4mb. Decent VGA camera with video recording and playback vs a stone age CIF 388x288 camera. Gorgeous menu layout and colorful themes versus that boring Nokia interface. Rich 40 channel polyphonic tone with midi support vs tones that sound like a busted whistle. Quickshare connectivity allowing you to transfer almost anything to other SE phones in seconds. Advanced Java3D game support vs stone age games. MP3 audio and Mp4 video playback etc....
The list goes on...
Now to the flaws, first of all the K500/K508 series has poor build quality, which is rather creaky and weak for a phone of this class. The K500 is especially prone to scratches, while the K508 looks poor when that horrid orange light leaks out unevenly from under the keypad facia. I wont criticize it for lack of expandable memory and bluetooth, since this is a 2004 era phone and was the best in its price/class upon release.
People who dont care for features may also find the Nokia 6610i a more 'usable' phone.
Thats all folks.

I have shared(received) some folders using infrared and now my phone (k500i) is not working properly.
1. When i start a game it shows "Application Error".
2. When i play the recorded videos it says "Playback Failed".
3. Some of my pictures have disappeared.
4. Also the UNLOCK MORE CALLS options on bottom of display have disappeared.
Can someone help me out on this.
Is this a VIRUS.If so can install a ANTIVIRUS on my phone and where do i get it FREE.
I had bought this phone just 3 weeks back.
Thanks in advance.

Owner of a new K500i in the last 2 months and I want to ask you if
there is some of application(ex:java) wich can perform FM radio on the telephone.
It' a preety good phone but i wouldn' t mind a little bit more memory or a card slot!
Also Irda is quite slow and a Bluetooth connection is quite necessary!
For me i can say that I' d rather pick the FM radio in stade of the mp3 player.
(I already know your answer:pick a k700!:-) )

if you want to remove the camera shutter sound , just go to setting> sounds and alerts> volume> and then reduce the volume down to zero, that'll solve your problem.

I got my K508i a week ago and I can honestly say that this phone is great! I would recommend it over many phones. It is probably the best phone I've had the opportunity to use. Sure, it doesn't have BT but I don't need it and apart from that it does everything else you would want. Nokia's in the same price range don't come near it. This phone to me is a replacement for my LG G7100 - which to me has to be one of the worst camera/clam phones ever made and left a sour taste in my mouth. Even if the LG were reliable you soon realise how limited it was in every aspect compared to the 805i. When you take your time and compare the 805i to other models in the same price bracket it stands out. Even more expensive models offer less than this phone. The 805i offers Java, themes, the ability to create your own themes with software, IR connection to a PC or other mobiles, video recording, a decent camera (for a phone), java games, voice recorder, simple mp3 player, speaker phone, the ability to record phone calls and more. I found battery life to be good. I couldn't want any more in a phone. And most importantly - It does everything it claims to do reliably. If I had to say anything bad it would be that I agree with others on the camera shutter sound and would have liked the ability to set your own message alert tone. But, they are minor when you consider how good this is. 10 out 10 for my needs

Soory I use K508i, i've bought this phone today. for the price, i think it is really worth it. compared to others with the same features, it is cheaper. Right ,.... the shutter was annoying but overall i think this is a really great phone. Hope,... the best i've ever had.
