there's few ppl at se-nse who successfully flashed their S500i into W580i
but bear in mind
S500i has no pedometer so prepare the lack of radio and fitness features

i bought dis hp for my gf...
overall i'm quite satisfy wif it...
jz dat it lack of sound quality...
maybe a little bit...

i dun think so.......

bcos i never heard bout it again in this year.

i think tat issue is last year one, n SE hav made improvement oredi for next batch from tat time.

think the keypad crack issues might still exist, in the old batches. make sure u ask the seller whether is there any warranty for it or u gotta pay yourself if need replacement as most AP companies do not offer warranty for that.

for this itme, better go for Original set la to reduce keypad crack risk

Just bought a used S500i, luckily its a Thorus set, cos the motherboard just fried, and its under warranty. Going to change the keypads as well as its already cracked.

how many of u encountered the keypad crack problemn ???

not yet, love the phone but cannot compete my old w850,
I discover on the web, they replace the green keypad (misy black) with silver keypad, not only look impressive It might solve the keypad reliabilty especially rare problem on yellow version (which using silver keypad)

can AP/ Sony have this services ?

btw, see my signature for anyoen interested with my s500i

Where in LYP or in KL can I buy S500i keypad?

is not really hard to find it, you can find the whole housing for RM80

Really? Are those original from sony or non-ori-but-triple-A-grade housings?

rm80 should be AAA casing la.. ori will easily cost more than rm 100..

recently only got it .. lol then had it replaced ..

sonic_cd.. u ori set ka..?

is my thorus s500 unit , not the black green, the white choc unit can claim for keypad exchange?
