Does any body know what games you get with K500?

I'm not quite sure what kinds of games will u receive in k500 but it will surely not good enough. but it is ok since it has 12mb of memory. u can still downloaded a lot of games app. But I think one downside of the k500 or k700 is a slot memory. why?

Overpriced. The Siemens CX65 can be had for S$100 less in Singapore, with a similar feature set.

comparison? it's a total mock up of the K700 with less stuffs i guess.
from the pics i guess: the keypad's easier to use. form factor wise i'll go for the K500. BUT, 41MB vs 15+ or 15- memory? lack of bluetooth. might as well go for the K700. Retail price of both in malaysia now. RM1099 vs RM1599 (but can get K700 for around RM1330+)

1USD = RM3.8

K500i here is £129.99 compared to the £289 ish for the K700i, so theres a very good reason to go for the K500i over here if Bluetooth is'nt your thing. Besides, its only meant as a sort of temp. replacement for the lower-T series models (T230, T300, T310 etc).
