The Sony Ericsson K508i is exclusive to T-Mobile
and is very similar to the K500i.
The keypad of the K508i has been redesigned and is easier to use,
and the phone has an integrated speakerphone, which is very welcome.
On the negative side, the phone is slightly thicker and heavier.
In terms of specification, the K508i has all the
features that made the K500i so popular: a good quality 65k colour
screen, a digital camera capable of recording short video clips,
an MP3 player, polyphonic ringtone composer, 3D games, and a user-friendly
interface. It also shares the same limitations (limited memory,
short video clips only, no Bluetooth), but for the price you can't
expect more. It's a great phone priced somewhere between entry-level
phones and mid-range camera phones. An excellent all-rounder with
a great range of features! Now
replaced by the K510i.
Features of the Sony Ericsson K508i include:
LCD display: 65,536 colours, 128 x 160 pixels
VGA camera (640 x 480 pixels) with 4x digital
zoom
Personal organiser functions (clock, stopwatch,
alarm, etc)
Connectivity: USB, infrared
Memory: 12 Mbytes
WAP 2.0, GPRS
Vibration alert
Triband
Size: 103 x 46 x 20 mm
Weight: 88g
Talk time: up to 7 hours
Battery standby: up to 300 hours

As you can see this phone has many features. for the amount of money
that you pay for this phone you get alot but if you are buying this
phone for its camera and video capablities....well dont because
this phone has one of the worst cameras ever. You can see all the
pixels and everything is so squarish. Besides the camera it is an
exelent phone but when you buy it keep in mind that you will need
to get a data cable if you want to transfer images or anything from
the phone to computer or vis versa. peace out guys Rating:

The phone is quite good It has got everything including best audio
quality to attract among all other phones. The display is quite
big but it becomes short when the photo is displayed as the LCD
reserves some space(default). Viewing of photoraphs become very
slow once it is accumulated with many photographs. Camera quality
is not so good and in night even in night mode the image quality
remains very poor. It has a very strong Irda but it is short of
Bluetooth. But But But...... apart from these things,the phone is
very good. Even if LCD reserves some space u can have a greater
surface area than other phones.go guys compare it..... The irda
is very very powerful so need of bluetooth is not that much. The
audio quality is just outstanding..yummy yummy....... The looks,u
see,is great....u can make ur friends jealous absolutely The space
is 12 MB that is ok types And once u play some MP3 u are gonna love
it like anything so as a whole it can be rated as neibhour's envy

An interesting phone, nice colour (especially in black), big screen,
meet my entire requirement and beyond and last of all it is cheap.
It got so many features like Video Camera, Live TV (Deepness on
what network), Organiser, Cool games; MP3 Compatible and the list
go on and on. It also lack some feature like not enough Memory,
no blue tooth and sometimes when I receive MMS (Picture text) I
cant opened it straight away but who care because I don’t
use it that much. Nevertheless, I made a right choice It a fantastic
phone for $229 AUS. If you want, a camera phone look at the Sony

Great phone for its value. Never think medium-level phone can be
this great! I've owned it for 6 months and still fits me up! Although
it doesn't have 'gigie biroe' a.k.a Bluetooth (almost all my friends
use Nokia phones) and low memory (12MB is really sucks) but much
better than NGage at the same price (in Indonesia). I prefer K508i
than NGage mainly because the camera, also almost all my buddies'
NGage seem to crash a lot (even two got totally dead). But that
MyFriends menu is useless (in Indo) because I don't understand how
it works (manual doesn't help). Also I hate those 'click' sound
(really disturb). Many menus similar to K300. Great value, buy it! Rating:

not sure if it can!! The recording pic qualify is also very average.
Sometimes, I need to hold the fone a lil away from my ears to hear

for the 4 hours the book said. I went out that nite and in one nite
the battery had run out. So all i did was charge it for an entire

isnt much memory for mp3's. the camera exceded my expectations from
a camera fone and the videos arent to bad Rating:

Absolutely amazing phone. Yes i agree that nokia is still the no
1 seller but this phone kicks nokia in the ass big time with ultra
cool features and finally a good looking model. Guys who are reading
this review and have not yet purchased this phone i am sure your
options are either the k300i,k500i,k508i and some competitive nokia
phone(chuck motorola it sucks).Beleive me among all of them this
is the best. Shell out the extra cash(not to much only a 1000Rs
in India) ie 25$ or so more than the k300i. This has got a larger
and much better screen(TFT as compared to LCD). The camera is quite
decent for a cell phone and the mp3 functionality rocks. nokia wont
have this feature. another thing to note is that it has 12 mb which
no other company barring ericsson provides for this price. Buy this
phone you wont regret it.Kudos Ericsson. Keep up the fab work. Only
regret is not having bluetooth and probably no possibilty of memory
expansion. Rating:

I bought it yesterday. Its a very good phone. The screen resolution
in this phone is very good when compared to other phones.The only
disadvantage with this is that there is no blue tooth in this.But
that is ok as I can do the downloading using a data cable. Can any
one help me by telling how can i mute my camera sound. Its very
awful. Send your response about this to mundamattam@rediffmail.com Rating:

I love this phone. It's intuitive and easy to navigate - I've explored
all the main features and haven't even looked at the manual. You
can set your own shortcuts to make navigation even easier. You can
set up e-mailing to work with your existing pop3 e-mail account.
And the camera click CAN be disabled with just a single key press
(phew!). The mp3 player means you can have any sound you like as
a ringtone, even your own sounds (but with just 12MB fixed memory
I guess I'm not likely to use it as a normal mp3 player for listening
to collections of songs). The MIDI player is surprisingly good,
especially if you like dance music ringtones - check out Barcelona
and YourMind (free download). The only thing I miss on the phone
is the ability to store more than one e-mail address per contact,
but I can live with that. Classic phone for the price - great job

only problem i found is we cannot stop the click sound while taking

Hey wot else do ya want.This thing got a big 65k color screen an

Much much better than Nokia phones as they are still hanging on
4k color screen and only polyphonic ringtones in most of their models.i
was traditional user of nokia and am feeling guilty of sticking
to it for dat long time. But now am extremely satisfied with SE
k508i.U got a customer for life SE. Connectivity to PC is also easy
throught USB port and Data cable is not so expensive.I transfer
my favourit songs regularly in it.Also u can put more than 9 songs
by compressing them a little more(still quality remains better than
nokia 6600 believe dat). But this phone is not suitable for video
capturing bcoz of limited memory but who carez until u have option
of recording video than not having it like ur friends' phone. Rating:

When my elder brother took away my k500i i decided to buy flip phone
but on seeing new model k508i i dropped my idea to buy flip phone
and asked my dad to buy me k508i(i am not allowed to buy myself
i am 15). Main thing to note in k508i is its keypad spacing and
button quality,i am feeling comfortable to write messages on it(which
i use most) which was not case with my previous k500i Also body
color combinations(especially black n silver) make it far more sexier
than k500i. My phone takes 1 hr or sometimes less to charge,i thought
it unusual but my friends having same phone and someone from u also
told same thing so i think they have also improved battery quality.
Memory should have been increased but as i use data cable to transfer
old pics and videos to PC,i feel 12mb is still sufficient if not
excellent.With that price and all these features this phone is best
in its class. I think anybody giving it less than 3 stars Bcoz of
its features or design is expecting SE P910i with that price. It
suits all the needs of young guys like me, a complete fun phone.

Maybe this is a good phone but I have been unable to find out. The
instruction manual is not only a complete waste of paper but the
electrically charged bits that make up the pdf file could also have
been spared too. Not Good! Foolishly, I bought the (very) expensive
synchronisation cable which is a fairly straightforward USB cable.
It comes with a User Manual (a cable with its own user manual???)
and despite this I cannot get the thing to work. I trawled the SonyEricsson
site for a couple of hours downloading a clutch of large files (60MB+
in total) to try to get the thing to say 'hello' to my PC - nothing.
I am reasonably tech savvy, having built the PC I am writing this
message on, but the SonyEricsson belongs to the bygone era of unfriendly
non-intuitive products Rating:

I guess this phone is good.But at present times this phone is worthless.The

2. Onboard games cannot be deleted if possible someone tell me how?
3. Battery doesn't even last 2 days complete 4. Digital zoom is
only for Videos and not for Pics 5. The shutter sound cannot be
put off so if u wanna click on the sly its not possible On the whole
this phone a few months back would be an excellent buy but not today

you are wrong, this phone has got zoom!!! it's 4 times digital zoom.
the phone has a better keypad than the k500, the buttons are more
comfortable to use and the buttons aint so close to each other,
the buttons are also of better quality than the k500i i think, they
feel more like "quality". If I compare this phone to the k500i I
think it's stupid to say: "the design of the k500i is better", but
I like the design of the k508 better than the design of the k500.

I own a k700i but i know that this phone has nearly the same features.
There is only one downside, this phone is the exact copy of the
k500i which is lacking a bit on the memory. But if you're not going
to use mp3 function then this phone is great. The k508 also got
rid of many of the battery and software problems that occured on
the k500 and k700 series. The camera hasn't got zoom but the lens
are able to be opened and closed. Not as good looking as the k500
or 700 but still a great phone with all the features. Rating:
