I will take the w580i. cause i think the s500 is for girls. And the w580i is a phone for music junkies

I had the w580i but stopped using it because the keys seem very cheap. They remind me of laptop keys.

I just got the S500i phone and its really cool

Go with the w580i definetely. mine is great

The S500 looks better and fancy. seems more costy.

The W580 looks good, but not as fancy. It features the Walkman feature, where the S500 does not.

So depending if you use music a lot, that would be a good way to pick between the two phones.
If you like using your phone for music, the 580 would be your best pick.
S500 if you dont need as much music from your phone
Hope this helps.
Have a great day.

The only difference between the S500 & the W580, is the W580 costs slightly more & it has a radio, thats it.

Well if you want a Radio in your cellphone go for w580i
if you want a good looking phone go for s500 s500 in black color is just beutiful but it dosnt hav a radio

well, who is the provider? I got my w580i for 25 bucks with a new 2 yr contract. Its supposed to be 50, but my wife works for att. A girl i work with got the 500i thru cincy bell, and cost her about 200 bucks or something. No contract on her end.

Are you buying the phone outright? I dont know what the price difference is, but the phone itself, I would go w580i. Basically same phone, more features.

You shiould try with w580i.If you not purchase the any mobile you should try this other wise leave it.

I would definitely say that W580i is a better mobile. Most of the features of W850i is better than that of s500i

i definitely think the W580i is way cooler. i have heard some really great things about it.

He is trying to pick between the 2 phones not asking for suggestions tho

I switch phones all the time and I have used pretty much every phone and I've decided to stay with the 810.
The features are much better than the S500.
What I really enjoy is the flashlight, and the 2.0 megapixel camea.
The S500 is also 2.0 but isnt as clear for some reason.

Did you make up your mind yet?

I have the W580i right now it's great with the walkman feature which the s500 doesn't have. It also has a pedometer, but eats up your battery though. I think that's like the major difference between the two.

I think you should go for the s500 cuz it's very neat and the design is very genuin. But it is'nt the best phone though. But the w580 feels kinda cheap and i know you'll get annoyed with it.
