Sony Ericsson has quickly become the new hotness in the cell phone world, mainly due to their quick and stable user interface and rich feature set. Recently they announced the new S500i which is one of sony’s new slim sliders.

The Sony Ericsson S500i can set in-phone themes and external light effects to change as day turns to night or when the weekend begins. Hidden illumination appears to highlight a certain event and the keypad glows when the slim slider is opened. With the 2.0-megapixel camera users can share moments as they happen, taking photos and blogging it directly. The S500i offers more than aesthetics with a media player and expandable Memory Stick slot, Sony Ericsson Disc2Phone music management software has everything users need to transfers favorite music from a PC to the phone. When the S500i is connected, it appears as a drive on the computer. It also features Bluetooth 2.0, giving fast, robust connection to other Bluetooth devices.
