SONY ERICSSON S500 PURPLE- WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT????????

[Dalrymps]

I really want this phone but have read some reviews on the internet and a lot of people are saying the keys are weak and they crack?!
Anyone got one or know anyone whos got one that can reassure me on this?
I really want one!!!

I have this phone in the green/black, and I love it. Sadly after about 8 months some of the keys have cracked and I will have to take it in to the supplier to see what happens about getting it swapped out.

Despite the cracked keys it works fine, and I far prefer it to any other phone I have seen. Make sure you keep your receipt, and ask when you buy it if the problem still exists. My expectation is that it's a known problem and they should replace the phone.

I got mine in August, and it has only just cracked - but I don't text masses.

Thanks for the advice, I suspect it is a known problem judging by the amount of people who said it had happened to thiers in the reviews I read. How do you find the camera on it? The main thing I want from the camera is for it to be able to capture an image quickly without taking a blurry picture... I have the k850i at the mo which has a 5 mega pixel camera but it's no good being 5mp cause half the pictures it takes are blurred!

Pictures seem fine, but I have a decent small digital camera which I tend to use, so don't take that many - really just so that I have some of the kids and dogs with me. But they don't blur.

Cool, thanks for the info, might ask to test one in my local O2 shop and see if I want to buy it
