One of my friends has decided to buy the newly launched K500i. What is the stock firmware for this phone? Also, i would like to know if there are any bugs in the original fw so that he could wait until an update removes the bugs (if any). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!

don't know since they are totally different phones, comparing with Z600 and T610 who are pretty much the same except the TFD/LCD display and the shape

What is the difference in features between 500i and 700i except the memory which is 12mb and 41mb respectively? This message was posted from a T230

*the k500 has a smaller screen resolution than k700
*I've heard that the k700's icons are vector based rather than raster based as on the k500
*the k700 has a radio built in, the k500 doesn't
*the k700 has bluetooth, the k500 doesn't
*according to sonyericsson website the k700 has support for RS232-cabel, the k500 doesn't
*the k700 has a "navigation button", the k500 doesn't

then we have the design and size/weight.

conclusion = the k500 is a cheaper version of the k700

(BTW. I think there was a thread comparing K500 and K700 somewhere earlier)
