Sony Ericsson K508 - User Reviews

  • It has a similar design to the Sony Ericsson P990 (the way I see it)

  • Wait, hold up, there are Sony Ericsson K508's that aren't locked or branded to T-Mobile?!

  • Today is 20 2017 and I am about to get K508. So excited as it was the same phone I used in 2004. Still remember those feelings 😍

  • realy sony ericson mobiles are excellent. k508 such a superb mobile, it was mine first mobile.. i cant forget this. still i couldn't find mobile like that..

  • Was My 2nd ever mobile phone I used in 2007, was a very impressive in its era. no one could beat it. I LOVE IT...

  • K508; great phone, can anyone help me get a user`s manual ?

  • Hi Ravi, where did you purchase this mobile. Is it still available in market.

  • I have been using K508i since it was launched. The voice clarity is awesome! Other phones in this range cannot match.

  • i use it year ago it is very friendly phone....

  • Back on my phone its K508i (missed the "i"??)

  • old is gold.

  • and if you want to know if this mobile can acess to internet yes it can acess to internet

  • i hate this mobilephone it sucks the joystick are the worst in the whole world 1 of 10

  • i kinda like having difficulty on liking this phone the memory is too small and that includes the messaging.. and can this phones accessible on internet?? can someone answer???

  • can k508c send mms or can be internet activated? pls. someone help ...

  • its quite ok in terms of design,features,only the memory is small and the music volume is not much loud becauise i want it louder but for the price its very reasonable.

  • I've had this phone since 5 years ago and I liked it but why do it now mms can not be used, I've tried to move it to another mob and his road mms, how to handle it?

  • Ahh...my very first symbian phone...feels like it was just yesterday when i got hold of this phone...it's like a dream...huge display, MMd support, add on apps, wav and mp3 music, games(if u know where to get the apps) and videos...it surpasses lots of other mobile devices at that time...The experience i've had with this phone will stay in my mind forever! probably not long from now i might even get a 2nd hand k508 to re-live the experience! lolx...a 2nd k508 in my country

  • hai friends sony ericcson is a excalent mobail.becous i can use this mobail ,all songs,vedios ,mp3,reccording also every one in thise mobail .this is a smallcomputer. ok!see this mobail by.

  • I have used this phone for 4 years too.. I think it's a great phone 'coz I've never get a serious problem with this phone

  • very bad, not worthy

  • this phone was my third phone in my life and I used 4 years so I think this is a good machine.

  • Same here. Have been using for more than 3 years. Dropped it abused it. Still runs on the original battery. A damn good phone.

  • same with ice+chameleon,,i've been using this phone for more then 3 yrs now.. (37 months).. Same with ice,i dropped this so many times but it is still working.. Then,, i send sms with my sweetie K508i for 11000 sms,,but there wasn't problem with the keypad.. But,,it's camera is not good now.. There are so many red "star" on the photo.. if only this phone has an more megapixel camera then i wouldn't think of buying K850i...

  • i have this phone for almost three yrs now. it was great way back. i dropped this so many times but it is still working. if only this phone has an expandable memory then i wouldn't think of buying another one.. does anyone know how to download games? and what would be a good game?

  • i've been using this phone for nearly 3 yrs now. and everything's great. never have any problem at all. i accidentaly dropped it many times, and nothing went wrong. the features are good, the bad thing is no radio & no memory expansion. but hey, turns out that i can live without that :D

  • Hi Guys.. I used to won this phone and it was very good at the time..Even now it would be good for someone who just wants and everyday use phone with the added feature of a half decent camera..display is ok and pistures taken look good on the phone..memory is ok but the phone does not support removable memory.. Joy stick on this phone does tend to get worn and user may have problems with it... Mine was very tough..and is the only one of my many phones that didnt break(and it went through alot), tough phone..ended up giving it to my grandma..she loves it..all round good phone =)

  • hey.. i used this phone for two years now and i don't seem to have any prob with it.. even the joystick is still great..

  • the phone has major problems with the joystick but the battery last very long time

  • i love this phone i bought it for �2-3 becauase it was faulty it wouldnt charge i did open the phone and resolder the contacts on the charge socket it and it now works great,yes i had the joystick problem but all its down to is dust for those technically minded open the phone find the joystick control and spray it with switch cleaner (get this from any electronics shop) once i did this joystick worked perfectly a brilliant phone in my opinion one feature i found excellent is when youve installed a game and the screen isnt right you can change the size of the screen for that particular game which makes it able to use games that werent meant for the phone

  • I pressed down the Joystick for 2 mins and it was working only for some time.Again the Joystick problem is there and frustrating with the joy stick joystick functionality. If i get a big message cant go down to read all the message.Worst design from Sony.

  • ho to download games from sony ericsson

  • this is 1 awesome phone man.i have beenusing it since an year now,mostly for messaging.no problems whatsoever.though the joystick seems to show some scroll problembs but the very next day it works fine.great piece...but yes with mp3 support a little more memory would have been great.

  • how do i unlock the cover

  • hot do i get the front cover off it has dust all in it

  • I have been using this mobile for the past two years. I havenot seen a mobile equivalent to this here in our country. No problem with this set. People have complained of its joy stick. Its easy. Unlock its casing. Yes. And clean it.

  • hey u all whining about ur joystick. i have the solution to ur problem. its sipmle. hold the joystick down with ur thumb and keep rotating it in circles for about 2 minutes. ur prob will be solved

  • Never to buy this mobile ................. the joystick problem sucks

  • I have this phone for the last one year. Its got great sound and display is also good. Camera quality is good. But only thing that i hate in this phone is the joystick. Last few months it behaving in a strange way. Does not work in a perticular direction. I would say, DON'T GO FOR THIS PHONE. ITS A GOOD PHONE FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTHS... NOT AT ALL A GOOD PHONE...

  • I had this fone for just over a year and the only problem i had was the joystick stopped working, and also it is a very durable fone with great features. mine is now dead, the lcd cracked so now i am using a nokia 6030. 6030 - also a great phone, for it price.

  • Well, I must have a complete dud, because I have had so many problems with this phone. Even basic functions such as being able to recognise incoming messages/calls from people whose details are in the address book seem beyond this phone. In the address book where it is supposed to have the Groups function where you can move your contacts into different groups, it moves the wrong numbers!!! It often crashes when I receive a phone call. The ear piece has very poor sound quality so it can be very difficult to understand the person at the other end. The jostick will often decide not to work in one direction. I could go on and on.... This is not a good phone. I look after my phone and it looks in very good condition, despite the frequent urges I have to throw it against a wall, of which it would certainly not survive, being quite a fragile design. These faults I have explained are not due to it being roughly treated. But like I said, maybe I'm just the unlucky one who got the dud. Good luck!!!

  • i had this fone for more than 2 years it was actually superb!!!the cam has great resolution than nokia..I love this phone..highly recommended!!!

  • super phone. ilove it. no problem at all. camera very good.sound also very good. only little problem is small memory. rest all r very goooooooooooooooood. also cheap

  • HEY PPL!!!!!! buy diz fone.ITS THE BEST!!!!! it has 3D GAMES and it is so fast...i had it 4 1 year n then bought 6230i n it sux..i dont use blutooth n radio n memory slot so it's the same..the animations r 3 times faster on k508 than on 61230i, n the battery life goes like 5-6 days even if u play sme kool 3d GAMES.I RECOMMEND SE..~SE FOR EVER~

  • I just wanted to say that i had my phone for almost a yr and it was the best phone i had!! Then i lost it!! i was devistated!!! now i have a new nokia that was triple the price and only a few things are better!!!!

  • this phone is the best phone i have come across

  • i hv use d phone 4 the past 1 yr & i reaaally satisfied wth colour quality an all except the joystick getting sticky & the memory 2 little ..wish had card slot...value 4 money dis phone...dont use gprs..use data cable is da best

  • Everything about this phone is good except for the pathetic joystick, already toooo many problems, and its been only 6 months. Memory is low, but i can live with that !

  • Over all K508i is a good mobile.Specially the sounds provided are extra ordinary.Display (screen size is good) so far as design is concerned its appealing.if I discuss some weaknesses of this set battery time and memmory is very much in need of improvement.

  • MaN...DoNt eVa Buy Dis PhonE....Itz A compLetE waSte Of Tym & monEy....It Only Has 12Mb Of spAcE, No radIO, Low quAlitY VGA caMEra, No flasHLighT, no radIO....& de 2 thIng I haTe the MOst is ThT The JoystICk Gets StuCk EvrYtimE....aND ThaT U can not cHAngE Itz Skin...It HAs No ReSaLE AT ALL!!!!!

  • It is a cute, fancy & handy set.It is working satisfactorily after passing about 5 months, but joystick is the problem, sometime it sticks & does not respond, camera result is good in days times only. In night times, it captures dotted pictures / video. Moreover during capturing video / picture, if camera is slightly moved or captured object moves then result is very bad. The colors depth is good but I would be happy if it is enhanced. Memory is not sufficient. Audio quality is too good.

  • I bought this phone in Nov '04, and it has been serving me well during this period. For the pice of this phone ($148 without trading an old one), the features were well packed. MP3 ringtone (unfortunately only for calls, and not for sms too), a mp3 player, vga camera.. Main gripe is with its charger connection... it feels so flimsy!

  • PPL i have had this phone for 7 months now and this is what i think of it. It is great phone for value with great graphicaly enhanced menues and great animated themes. Camera (was) pretty good when the phone was new but with all the new 2MP camera tech its not as great. joystick does play up after a while depending how u take care off it. it could do with more memory if your a heavy phone fanatic like me but overall its a good phone. sony ericsson is the way to. PS dont get a motorola lol cyas

  • HI Folks, This is a very stupid mobile. it just fell down only 2 times suddenly the cam stopped working.i am worryign alot for buying this mobile..

  • i am using this phone for the past 4 months, the features r good. but the joystick sucks. sometimes its just won't respond. the camera is ok. overall i'll rate at 7.5.

  • to everyone in india-your 508 shows only 8mb because of the 2 hindi videos and 2 hindi mp3's that came along with the phone.they dont get deleted.even if you delete them you dont get any extra space.when you master reset the phone they get back into their place.There's also hanging problems with this phone.all because of the firmware.so dont buy this phone until the firmware is changed.bye

  • i have some problem in k508i regarding its phone book,when i want to reach sharjeel and i want to press "h" after "s" it directly goes to shujaat, can any one let me know how i change it in to standard form.

  • well it shows 8mb bcuz there is already some content in your phone including wallpapers and sounds and videos. isnt it very obvious?

  • I own it faor the past 8 months i have no problems but smetimes the phone hangs up and i have to reset it---- iheard most people are having this problem anywaz a very good memeory is to low and we cannot shut the shutter speed off i give at an 8. I'am waiting for k610i

  • i own k508i 4 last i year, but can u tell me why is it showing only 8 mb free space although there is nothing stored on my fone. it should show 12 mb instead.is there any scope left now to provide it with an external memory card. camera is just perfect. pls reply soon

  • the phone is good. it is very durable. i dropped it at least 50 times at waist height and it still works fine. the only problems are that the camera sound is very annoying and cant be turned off. the toggle thing spoils easily. the paint comes off(i have a few friends who use this phone as well and they have the same problem).

  • This fone is soo cool, i got it for xmas and i love it. I have all these wicked themes and ringtones the only bad think is the joystick shouldnt be plastic, should be something stronger. neway i give it a 9/10

  • i like this phone because of these reasons there is mp3 ringtones the video length is ages about 10 mins there are themes which makes it look more attractive

  • Well had this phone for a some months now and i would rate it a 6/10. Few things i dislike about the phone : Very little memory, cannot change sms tone, lags when browsing pictures, has an average camera, and the design gets boring after awhile. Must say that its very hardy though. Dropped it many many times and its still works as well as ever! :) Not too prone to scratches too. Good if you don't mind the design, little space and average camera. Great price.

  • its joystick is very fib n other things r gud but memory is very short the best thing in dis mobile is sound its sound is gr8 !!! i really like my mobile ....

  • i think its great . i've had it for ages and it has never failed me once. the video length depends on the ammount of memory but it can goon for ages like probably 30mins. its well good.

  • its amazing phone.the camera is just like of k700i but damn bluetooth is not present in this..i have bought this mobile today and its just amazing

  • Silent the phone by pressing the # key for a few seconds or in stand by mode press 'more' and select silent mode.It works in older phones but it does not work in newer phones.If it does not work try calling a toll free number and then taking a picture.Dont tape the speaker inside.Keep your finger pressed to the speaker,that will reduce some noise.

  • is there a way to stop the sound during taking photos. it is not there when taking photos after calling a toll free no. if i tape the speaker holes inside the back cover will it be reduced. please someone reply.

  • a superb mobile! it has all the features needed. the camera works excellent. the audio as well as vedio recording comes desired. a mobile which is worth buying. phonebook, messaging, games all are fantastic.just to say in one word - superb.

  • Hi, I bought the K508i a couple of months back.Initially there were those "hanging" problems. But now everything seems to be fine.

  • get the k300i it is well better the joystick deos not brake that easily and it is cheapear

  • (AUS) Im 14 and im looking for a phone for christmas.....i initially wanted the motorola V535 with Boost but soon found that it was really bad according to the opinions......Ive turned my attention to this phone....My dad has a s700i and has had many problems with the camera. Will this happen with other sony ericssons? as i sed im 14 and want a good phone to capture pics.... feel free to email wat u think at [email protected]

  • is there any way to make the sent folder on the messages option private? i want to know if there's a way to lock the folder so that i can retrieve my sent messages from time to time.

  • memory is too less

  • Is there any other software of Media Player which I can install on my mobile phone K-508i which can show the videos on full screen and also which has better or advanced features that preinstall MP3 player doesnot have.

  • can you display side view of K508 Sony Ericsson phone?

  • can you display the side view of K508 phone?

  • I had this phone for just a few months and it broke on me. Your experience may vary.

  • I am using this fone from last 6 months. Total memory is 2 MB which is not big enough, Camera is quite good max(1280*768@256colors). No camparsion of sound quality, I think its specifications is more than its cost. Every thing is working fine till.

  • Another thing that i hate about this set is you can not delete or transfer more than one photo at a time.

  • I have been using this phone for more than six months. Here are MY likes and dislikes about the phone: Things i like are: 1. Good display (although inferior to k700) 2. Nice design (i think its very much resistant to knocks) 3. Nice materials (the screen and rest of the body do not scratch easily) 4. Large java applications can be installed 5. Fast menus Things I dislike: 1. Joy stick can get easily damaged (if not pressed gently) 2. java applications can not acess internet (maybe due to my service provider) 3. Can store few SMSes 4. camera quality is not good (similar to that of k700) 5. very few wap sites can be accessed 6. picture browsing is slow 7. Although the screen is large, it displays very small information (my old nokia 3100 can display more text than this set)

  • The worst phone.The joystick gets damaged after 2,3 months of usage battery does not last longer.The camera starts taking black and dark pictures.I've been using this phone for 6 months and i'm fed up.Please dont buy this phone.

  • i've found that in the K508i the battery life is much less than what sony specified I generally only use it a couple of hours [a day] yet i'm having to recharge everyday

  • i wanna know that what is the difference between k500i n k508!!!which 1 is better...which is gud 1 to buy and whatz the difference in functions and themes etc..plz tell me regards hamy malix

  • I am deciding to buy either a k700i or a k508i. Needed some guidance. 1. Someone told me that neither of these phones has photo-id. Is that true ? 2. Which has a better keypad ? I found the keypad of the k508 to be more comfortable for smsing. 3. Hows the battery life of these phones. 4. Is it true that the k700 camera takes better quality pics and has longer video recording time than k508 ?? Please guide me if anyone has any knowledge on these phones. rgds, Sunny

  • its an awesome phn..but memory, no blueooth.and the f*ckin joystick.the joystick gets bad after 3-4 months

  • i heared my friend say it good,after i buy it wowww it true very good n the performance is also good ichiban.....gg

  • Itz good $ nic3, eazy 2 handl3, itz sound iz tooooooooooo good but th3 memory iz less as usual all da guyz $ grlz say. But i lov3 tat set__|__

  • its very gud mobile but memory is so short any wayz i like dis mobile very much its gud 4 me its performance is very gud n sound is marvellous !!!! bye :)

  • lol teejay i do the same thing to mute my camera but anyway this phone rulz its usability does not suk to all ppl who think that. Its Graphical Enhanced tech poos all over nokias boring cartoony graphics and motorola and i many others.for $230AUS it was a bargain and its got a great camera quality and somthing good about it is u can compress songs on the computer and send em through a data cable to your phone and listem to them. Works great when i want to listen to music in the shower :D maybe it could do with a bit more memory considering how much videos take up. But overall it RULZ BUY IT!!!! i promise u wont regret buying it!

  • to put the MUTE to the camera you only need to press the button that has a crossed-musical note....and the problem of putting the MUTE to the phone is that if u get a call i won't sound :(

  • there is a way to bypass sound of clicking pic... dial a toll free no or your helpline or something and while dialling or in call switch on the camera and take the pic... no sound will come :)

  • Sony Ericsson K508i is a great one to deal with. Nice colors, great features and good Camera. I have been using it for 3 months. Now I m facing few problems like; How to silent the Camera Voice? It shows 9MB total calculated Memory. One of my friend got the same fone and he has total calculated memory of 12MB as mentioned in specifications aslo, how I should get my memory back?

  • HEY does anyone know how to get the camera shutter sound off??????? pleasee!!

  • Bought K508i - It lasted 4 days before being described by SonyEricsson as having Early Life Failure. Came with camera strap. Very flimsy plastic. Very delicate.

  • the joystick really sucked. my brother got it for only two mths and the joystick is already faulty. dont buy this phone . what good will the functions do when the joystick totally sucks?

  • Hi all i just wanna know whether any of you the SE k-508i users are facing any kind of problems in the joy stick or not?Coz i decided to buy the k-508i but many of my frnds told me that its joystick gets out of order soon.And howz the FM lead working?Respond on [email protected]

  • I always envy SE mobile phone, that's why in the last 2 years I ever use K500i, K508i, and J200i. However the keypad is LESS convinience compared to other mobile phone such as Alcatel, Siemens, or some Nokia model(you can try to use that). In terms of design, quality, and feature, some SE model are on top of my wish list, but I just hope SE will make small improvement over this keypad thing. My method of purchasing mobile phone (now) always playing around first with keypad on the dummy (or working sample always better), after find it convinience to use, then start talk about features etc.

  • I love the style of this phone, its so fun and smart!

  • it's the best celluler phone that I ever

  • There is nothing wrong with the cover pplz or the buttons the buttons are normal like every other phone. Some ppl so fussy over nothing much

  • This is the maddest phone ever i would say its better than the k750i with everything exept imaging and memory. It has the most graphical menu icons iv ever seen on the phone it is truly the best and if ur un sure to by it well dont be stop here and buy it it is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any1 who thinks its crap has got problems or they dont know how to treat it. it rulz all PS nokia sux

  • Got this phone for 1 months, current price now around US$ 165 (no plan, I'm in Indonesia). Usability sucks (keypad difficult to use, text size too small and thin), screen so so (inferior compared to Sxxxxxg TFT screen). Features good (built/design, camera, sound, organizer, memory, battery life, connectivity, etc), only lack bluetooth. SE always launch good phone with jam packed features, but (as always) forget the usability. I'm dissapointed with this situation, and the siblings of K508i, K500i also have the same problem. For US$ 165 price point, I recommend Axxxxxl 7xx on top of K500i/K508i(I write review about this model also). If only SE have something better in term of usability, I will be one of SE great fan (too bad that not yet happen). Read article about great design of SE mobile phone in local newspaper here, including interview with 1 of top manager of the company. All for all, SE phones design nicely, but as always (in my opinion) forget the most important feature, USABILITY. Hope their R&D team aware of this situation and launch new model with (much) better usability.

  • sony ericsson k 508 model is very very super nokia compare sony ericsson............] sony ericsson is best and cheapest price and different style etc..................... [ not bad nokia hand set ] my humble request pls choose the sony ericsson handset. that means handset price is cheap and best thank you all of you

  • hello , i like to buy a sony ericsson!! im a bit confused among SE K500i and K508i if the specification say they are same, bit dimension difference. any body who are using this SET , please tell me are the themes in the set is of K500i or they are new?are they animated?? reply here or email me : [email protected]

  • Iv got this phone and i find it really great. it has got some feature issues, eg not enough memory, the fact that you cant change the housing, is a bit annoying if you like to change the look continuously. The screen is great, very clear. The camera could do with a bit of tweaking to get a clearer picture out of it. but appart from that its all good. The speed that it accesses the menus and features is great. iv not found the same speed on nokia etc except if you pay excess of 300 for the phone. The Joystick on the thing is fine, no problems there. I love the Music DJ, you can make some groovy tones. All over, it is great. V cheap with the quality and features that it has. recommended to all who want cheap and some features. Basic kit comes with AC adapter, neck strap, battery etc. no data cable. Need to download the software for the data cable to use it etc. recommended that a IR adapter be used instead, easier to setup and use.

  • is this unit upgradable in terms of MB? since it has video recording...tnx

  • Hi Everybody, I have bought this phone a couple of days back and am very much satisfied with this phone. It has amazing features, its picture quality and sound quality are very good. comparing to other phones and the crowd and noise levels at hyderabad, this phone works well even at the crowdy places like cafes, busstops. I am pretty much satisfied with this model.

  • i want to know that whether the k508 and k508i is the same model...then why the speakerphone component is not shown in this page..

  • I thing it`s a great phone has lot of functions and read`s mp3`s ... the memory is a bit low but if u put song`s comprimated u can make it a mini mp3 player :) ... if u have handfree of course ... buy it because is cheap and good

  • how do you put the memory card? pls email me if anyone knows how - [email protected]

  • Hi to all. am planning to buy this phone.But i want to know whether i can listen to mp3 songs on earplugs through the phone.if yes how many songs can it hold(assuming 1 song=2-3Mb).Does it encode songs to its own format to save memory? What about quality of playback.

  • the phone is absolutely superb with great features. i have one problem the joystick is not that responsive . it does move to the left. can anybody please help me. is there any way we can increase the memory

  • how do you put the memory card? pls email me if anyone knows how

  • I like this phone- only problems are the camera sound and viewing pictures - sometimes it gets annoying waiting for it to load. and whats the deal with the screen turning black while it saves a picture you just took? that only happens sometimes.

  • hello there i got a problem, help pls! i got k508i and , now it doesen't receive any more pictures,actually its working but it shows a clipart of a pic cut half, and says that picture can not be used.yesterday was working and i was trying to change an acces/protection code, and now nothing is working. please help!!!

  • havent got this fone yet, just wondering how u put songs onto it(does it cum wit a usb cable) and how many songs can it fit on it wit the 12mb?

  • this phone support memory card. it have space for it. you need to buy the accessory for memory expansion separately. thank you.

  • This phone is the most awesome phone i hav ever owned ! everything is cool about it, only prob is that 12MB aint enuf ! but at this price.. its the best thing i wud have got anyway !

  • Does this phone come with a cable for the usb?

  • If someone ask u, do u have mp3 in ur phone..yes, and wat bout camera n recorder..i proudly say yes, mms?..yes, IR?..yes. What more do u want for a price of 8150 Rs. Its a cool phone..with cool look.

  • The phone is great, but how can I send mp3s from my laptop to the phone via infrared. I tried so many times, but the connection interrupts. Do I need some special software to do this?

  • This phone is great for its price.

  • Superb quality phone. Download Float's Mobile Agent software compatable with sony ericsson models. For effective usage of memory, compress mp3 songs using Nero Burning Rom Encoder and save to mp4. You can compress 2.38MB song to 1.4 to resonable quality.

  • about zooming: camera>>picmode>>press 1 key until it selects to 526*160. Then move joystic upward. It will zoom upto 4x

  • How do i zoom when i`ve got pictures to do ?? /:)

  • From Sources i came to Know that company is discontinuing this model. hink that this is the driver model of Sony Ericsson at this price it shouldnt be discontinued

  • Super phone ... at it`s price ... waiting to get IR or cable USB . Buy it and you will not regret . The only thing it that it does not suport memory card :(( :((

  • Well, I'm using this set and its a marvellous package... the only thing it lacks is "Expandable Memory"

  • im using this mobile for 4 mth. and the bad things happen. the center toggle cant smoothly functioning. and this is the 2nd times i send to SE service centre. it this matter happen to evcery one? nice but rough.

  • What is the dfference between k500 and k508. I really want to know bcos i am going to buy eithr k500 or k508 in this week. So tell me plz. I will be thankfut to the person who will tell me this via e-mail at [email protected]

  • with it's price, this phone is really good with many functions. I like the design more than K500. The sound quality is so nice and the picture quality is somewhat average. I just wish that it has more memory space or can use memory card. It's not enough to store more mp3 songs.

  • which phone is better? k300 or k508? nice camera and loud while playing mp3

  • i love my cell phone but its photo quality is not good neither of the vedio. i want to know is it included or a defect in my cell. its better if you answere me via mail

  • GOOD PHONE !!! Q: Can I sincronise the phone with a computer using the infrared port? if YES .. how can I do it!?

  • it has good sound, it also has good picture display, but ... the one i have, struggling with battery connector problem. This time i about to bring my K508i to SE Service Center, will be the 2nd times. Apliccation (themes) corrupt, playback failed, game won't start, loading picture (> 2 Mb)never quick ... the bads(s) overweight the good(s)

  • It is an Amazing Phone... if ur spectical about k500i and k508i , i suggest u should go for k508i...

  • hey i'm getting this phone sumtime this week and I was wondering, can you change the covers on it?

  • hi, im getting this phone sometime this week, and i tried it out in the shop, the camera and screen quality is better than any phone i have seen, and the sound quality is also VERY good! the only letdown, like everyone else says is the 12 MB space. A very very very good phone

  • Got this phone yesterday and i must confess that it is an amazing phone and a total value for money proposition!! However i just wanted to know one thing...for the PC connectivity ,should i buy the data cable(not the original coz its' expensive !!) or the ma660 IR adapter...which one is better in terms of data transfer speed and reliability??

  • i just bought this phone and whoa! it's just so damn great.. i really love this one compared to my other nokia phone. the only problem is its memo.-12mb, but otherwise, the whole feature is amazing and plus!! it's very affordable.

  • This is a gerat phone ! It has very many options, good polyfonics, good disply . There are some problems : memory is to low ( if you want mp3 ), and becuse of polifonics and camera the battery do not last more than a day (if u use it a lot) CONCLUSION : GREAT PHONE GREAT PRICE !

  • Hi, can any one plz tell me that is there any difference between k500i and k508 accept there shape

  • sony ericsson is an amazing phone when it comes to it amazing sleek looks & colour & clarity & features except that the phone does not have a lot of storage capacity & does not have bluetooth ................................................­................................................­....................

  • Were can i find programs to put mp3 in phn and program to take my pics in my PC ? i wanna buy an Irda 10cx !

  • Does someone know if there is any software for sincronising the phone with a computer using the infrared port?

  • It is good.Radio head set is available that is good in this.It is better than k500i.But the memory sucks.some memory problems are also there.design is some wat gud.sony sud produce mobile that has the facility of using mmc cards like nokia.

  • don't buy this phone, because it's covers are roughly like, keypad buttons and front cover is roughly designed as buttons move a bit left right and front cover has very bad finishing, also it's shape is not so goood, my friendly advice is to get K500, that is award winning design phone, you can look its smoothness in pics, there is no difference b/w k5/k508 but only shape.

  • For its prise the phone is great. Its features are great. Its memory doesn't botter me coz i was not planning on useing it as a music player. For raj the after taking a photo the picture looks perthetic on the phone, but when its put on to a PC it has very nice quality for the pic size.

  • It has a good price here in Romania(about 150 USD) and i think i'll buy it in this day. The only thing that isn't good is its memory(12 mb..hhh)

  • recently,i purchased this phone and i was fully impressed with its AMAGING feature.good resolution,terrific sound clarity and a good camera too.but,video recording is not so good but as far its price is concern its the amazing fn with good feature.i hv downloaded some video clips and its work very fine.regarding video it jst read Mpeg4 and 3gp files only.Regarding sound it doesnt support .WAV files.midi and mp3 is fully supported.the phn has some drawback.though being a mp3 player it has only 12MB fixed memory with no card slot.so,jst storing 2-3 songs only itEVEN DOESNT HAVE EARPHONE CONNECTION JACK IN THE FHONE."SE" SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY!! I THINK THE PHN SHOULD HAVE FM RADIO TOO.GOOD SOUND QUALITY,AMAZING 3d ADVANCE JAVA GAMES.aPART FROM THAT THE FN IS CONSIDERED VERY GOOD.I M FULLY SATISFIED WITH THIS PHN.

  • Its features are identical with k500i's features! it has the same memory (12 MB) and the same camera and resolution. But i don't like the design.... :(

  • i think overall of this phone is good. What should we expect with the price RM645 (14/06/2005). But can anyone tell me how to enlarge the memory in this phone. Can i delete the games that can make me full use of the memory? Thanks anyway...

  • Lol...now i seen the other opinions..about the difference..although in the technical part is still any difference?

  • Is there any difference betwen this model and K500??

  • This is good model but memory not extendible.Who will satisfy with only 3-4 songs? It's a Major and Main drawback in this model.

  • Its an awesome phone...working is smooth...looks are damn good...cam is good too...only thing that sucks is the memory and the fact that it doesnt support a memory card...but therez this "mp3 cutter" which lets u split up the songs n then u can put em in ur phone

  • This model is cool and it have gud features also....

  • Ive looked on many websites about this phone but i still havent gotten much information about how the photo quality and video quality is. If anyone knows whats its like please post your opinion and say a little bit about the camera

  • why have a MP3/MPEG4 player with this phone when it has 12MB memory?!?!?!?! and no Memory card slot???, whats sony ericsson expecting??? the user to have a music libary of 2-3 songs???

  • i ve jush bought this phone and i m impressed .., well, at this price... is a very nice phone , good menu , smooth animations... and finally combining the aprox low price , features , design and performance , i think a 9 is the vote !!

  • Improved, with better keys and design, with all good features from K500, very good Sony Ericsson!

  • Same price,same feature with K500,but dis baby is more pretty.

  • WOW!!!same feature with k500 but nicer than k500!!!!!
