Reviews of the Sony Ericsson S500i - mysterious green (unlocked)

CNET Review
The Good: The Sony Ericsson S500i is a beautifully designed handset with a slew of multimedia features that include a 2-megapixel camera plus a music player. Performance was great, as well.
The Bad: The Sony Ericsson S500i has a rather fragile keypad, plus it's on the expensive side.
The Bottom Line: The Sony Ericsson S500i is a stylish phone with a lot of sex appeal plus a decent feature set, but its high price and iffy controls make it less than desirable.

Review Summary: At this price, the S500i is reasonable value, but it doesn't boast any outstanding features. Its design should appeal, but the keypad and controls may pose some problems.
