Can someone tell me where the speaker located?
going to get this phone soon...

its located on the navigator key

check out previous page, its about the "color" caused the keypad crack issue before you decided which color go for

haha but they say for green
s500 after week 27 wont have this problem...

Wut do you mean..? Its caused of the colour then will crack..?

But issit after W27 all S500 set changed??
wah..then all green colour set buyer would definitely regret...
but yellow is very ugly..

I'm thinking of buying this phone now.
Is this the right time? Or should I wait for a few more weeks,guys?

ya
thats what they say
becoz the green paint cause what chemical reaction something like that

so wad are we going to do ?
the news that saying those crack keypad problem only affect before W27 phone ??
and after W27 there'll be no worries for the phone's keypad ??

ahhh.. juz bought for 2 weeks and i've crack 3 button of the keypad already... damn fragile..

and the most annoying thing is the earphone... when i listen to the mp3 via my the earfon, if handsfree port is been touch juz a little, the playback will stop and asking if the user want to play the music trough the speaker... damn its annoying...

if the w580 is the same as this fon.. then whats the point of having "shake control" technology if the handsfree port keep disengage..

other than that...its a good phone.

1) what color you having ur S500i?

2) Mean the port have same problem with W900i??

shake control is on W910i

i bought the black one..
dunno its the same port like w900 or not..
but wut i know, the port cannot be touch or move even juz a little..
it will stop the playback and message will popup, asking to play the music trough the speaker...
that mean i can listen to mp3 while walking or cycling or while putting my s500 in my pocket...

My button no '1','2', and '4' is crack... very fragile keypad..
its not like i hit it with hammer.. juz a gentle finger press..

The official website stated that W580i has Shake Control.
If the port can be accidentaly disconnected when you shake the phone then it could be a problem if you're using the headphone.

Half of my keypads are cracked after more than 15 days using. Brought back to the shop today, but the guy told me that have to wait for some time to get the replacement of the keypads. Maybe everyone who owns mysterious green s500i facing the same problem.

get S500 Midland set better since the pricing not much different ATM with AP set, if any crack, just send for warranty claim

if keypad crack, can warranty ka?

yes cause it is a manufacturer defect
