Sony Ericsson [T630] or [K500] ?


Recommended Posts

I went to a shop with a friend today and we took a closer look at a few mobile phones such as the

"Sony Ericsson T630" and the "Sony Ericsson K500".

They are both great phones and the prices for them are pretty low too. :)

But there are heavy differences between them.

* The T630 has bluetooth and a better design (in my opinion), but it has only 2 MB of shared memory and can't play mp3s and you can't record videos with the CIF camera.The maximum resolution of the pictures taken with the T630 is 352 x 288 pixels .

- Java

- Bluetooth :D

- WAP 2.0

- T9

- Calculator

- Image viewer

- Scheduler

- Voice memo

* The K500 has 12 MB of shared memory and can play mp3s & mpeg4 videos.It has also a VGA camera (max. resolution is 640x480 pixel) that can record videos.

when my dad upgrades in november i get his t630, I think the T610 looks so much nicer... Its the only phone that I think looks great in every way.. Oh yeah back to the topic... I would get the K500 but I bet it costs alot more. The question is... Do you need all those features?

I'd get the K500. It looks really nice.

I myself have an S700i and couldn't be happier, although it could use a firmware update.

Can you update the fimrware of SE phones by yourself or do you have to bring it to a service center ?

my friend has the t630...its not that great

No, the T630 and the K500 cost the same.

Yes, I need all the features.

One of my classmates got a k500 recently. It's a very good phone.

It hasn't got bluetooth but she can live with that. I could send everything to that phone from my N3660 and vice versa.

I've seen the t630 too and it makes really crap pictures and you can't do anything with 2mbs of ram.

i would really love to get the K500. it has everything the T630 would have except that it doesn't have bluetooth like its predecessor the T610, and its elder brother the K700.

imo, if you cant live with bluetooth, take the T630. if you can, and take the K500.

I'd get the K500, I had the T610 and didn't use bleutooth much, only to transfer some files from the pc to the phone, but the K500 has an USB port, so that's faster then bluetooth.

playing full mp3songs with 12MB is useless, but it's nice for some mp3ringtones.

the phone has infrared, so you can use that to transfer files to another phone.

go for the K500, I think features are more important then looks.

Thank you for your replys.It looks like K500 is the winner :cool:

BUT, I came across a prepaid offer where you get the Sony Ericsson K700i for like $ 180

[sony Ericsson K700i]

Sounds good to me.I might get it, just have to convince my mom :D

What do you guys think about that ? In my opinion, the K700i is at least twice (or even three times) as good as the K500.

*sorry for double posting

The k700 is awesome :yes:

You can't expand it's memory, but ~40mbs of internal memory should be enough :happy:

585826684[/snapback]

Ya, should be enough.People say that you can fit like 20 mp3 songs in 64 kbps bitrate and the sound quality is very good I've heard.

The K700 is great. I've had mine for almost a year now, and it aint many things I can complain about.. Sure, if you compare to the topmodels of -today-, it's in the dark...

But hey, it's packed with great features and the prices are low as well now.

I say buy the K700 if you need the extra features the K500 doesn't have.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
