Sony Ericsson K508i Review

The Sony Ericsson K508i has a fun feel to it & offers the user some great 3D games. The K508i is a good value phone at the lower end of the mid range market & it has some really good features. The K508i is part of the Sony Ericsson K range of phones so therefore it is similar to the Sony Ericsson K500i & Sony Ericsson K300i. The phone comes complete with a good quality built in camera which can be great fun to use. Sony Ericsson have a feature called QuickShare™ which allows the user to take photos, add sound or even a video clip with the K508i & send it all in a matter of a few seconds.

The K508i has a 65k TFT colour screen which gives a great quality picture. The games are 3D & are very enjoyable on this specific mobile phone.

Photo caller identification is a feature which makes it possible of the user to see a photo of who is calling instead of displaying a name or telephone number. It also comes complete with a MP3 Player for listening to all the latest music. Photo caller ID & music player gives the user another way of personalising their K508i.

The Sony Ericsson K508i includes T Mobile exclusive content which comprises of MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) templates, themes, wallpapers, screensavers, video clips & games.

I shuold compliment Sony for making such a wonderful phone. It's really a great phone in its design. But I should also mention the cons of the handset here. Because m greatly getting irritated with its joystick facility. It was pretty good for the first year. Now it takes a lot of time to come up with a selecting the right option using the joystick. And about its battery. First of all I dint get the 7 hrs talktime with this phone. It was about 4 hrs to the max. Now the battery gets down within a 1:30 hrs time. And the stand by time isn't great too. Another thing I wuold like to mention. It has great sound output features. But lacks internal memory. Just 12 mb won't do it! And there isn't a add on memory slot! So we will give 9/10 for its design, 7/10 for its features, 6/10 for its usability.

This is almost the perfect phone but 2 things missing, Bluetooth would of been great & that triband does not mean 3G is misleading I bought this phone thinking it was 3G instead be digital. (Spew)

It is the worst phone. Not only this model, but most of their models have joy stick issues. We will be mad with this stick. Battery also has lot of complaints. It switches off the mobile if I am speaking for 5 minutes, after one year use.

Sony Ericsson K508i is a great smart phone, its very easy to use, camera is great especially the zooming & other effects. picture quality is very good... it has cool stuffs such as media player... but the problem is the phone has got a memory of only 12mg...... so there's not enough room to keep a few mp3 or videos...there's no memory card slot... so you cant add additional memory to your phone... except this problem you can enjoy this phone... no doubt about that.

Thank you Sony for the K508i, had the K500i & upgraded to the K508i, what a result. Almost went for the Nokia 6600 but well chuffed I stayed with Sony. So easy to use, love the camera, love the video. Battery is better than the K500i & the keypad is easier to use than the K500i. Connectivity is easy through USB & data cable is not pricey. I am stuck on Sony from now onwards, keep your Nokias.

Too basic - sorry Sony but you have to do better than this effort to impress me. I want more from my mobile, my friend tells me the battery life is poor on his. Hate it!

This has it all, the silver & black casing gives it such a slick look. Keypad is easy to use, as I text all day long. Battery seems a bit naff but maybe I have a dodgy one. Love my camera & the zoom is a bonus.

Don't buy the K500i pay a wee bit extra & get the K508i it is really good. Sony K508i has loads of extra on the K500i, so it is well worth it. It is a really reliable & desirable mobile.

Like this phone but would of loved a radio in it. The memory could been a bigger than 12 meg, for the pictures & video clips. But do like it & love the look of it.

Music DJ program is wicked fun, love having a video on me phone, no radio but not broken hearted. Battery life a bit low. Was keen on the Nokia 6610i must look at the reviews on that phone. Love seeing reviews for the phones.
