K500 FAQ

What is the screen size of K500? 128x160 or 176x220 like the K700?
The size is 128x160, I don't know why it sometimes says 176x220 but the size of the themes made for K500 is 128x160.

What's the difference between F500 and K500?
The F500 is a Vodafone Live! phone. The differences are the shape of the phone and the GUI (Graphical User Interface, like the menus).

If I've missed something. Tell me and I'll add it.



BTW, I've not tried the phone yet. I'll receive it tomorrow.

it's capable of 3D display. it comes preloaded with a free level of tom clancy’s splinter cell pandora tomorrow in 3D and it has enough internal memory (12MB) to store up to 170 2D or 45 3D games, so says the press release.

I've got one and it's really a great little phone, not far from K700 spec too(the speaker is certainly louder!) and the camera has protection. Only problem i've had is the finish rubbbing off the screen surround although I have it in my pocket when working! The K700 theme's look just as good on it but some Java games run not to scale so are unplayable due to the smaller resolution.

@chungagoring: strange because the images have totally different sizes.

For example the standby background image is 176x176 on the K700 while it is 128x128 on the K500

The K500 has dropped in price: €289 a few weeks ago to €249 now at some places.

€40 off in a few weeks? Isn't that a bit over the top? How bad must you feel if you bought the phone at day one?

By the way The F500 costs €less than the K500 here in Belgium.
