General Comments

I think that the K500i is an excellent phone with just a couple downfalls. As soon as you pick it up you can feel how light it is and also how stylish it is especially the back of it.
The software is just like the T610 except the handy more button has been removed and instead a quick link to camera is there. The major differnce is that there are two menus really. The desktop allows you to access the most used functions easily such as writing a new text.
The fact that it can be used as an mp3 player is pretty useless as it only has 12mb of memory (I don't care as I have an iPod mini :D). I think the use of MP3 is more towards small files to be used as ringtones. Also the wallpaper can be animated.
It can also download videos off internet so really it can be seen as a 3G fone but without the ability to do video calls. It allows you to record and send video though, this can be handy when friends are doing crazy stunts of anything funnie. It can also play all types of java games and even Nokia game(many forums say this though haven't tried it myself). The 12MB memory allows you to have hundreds of games and ringtones.
The phone also has voice controls and the usual alarm, calender and notes etc etc.
Only £69.99 at the link website(uk)
Although I bought mine in shop for a lot more! :(
