Asia receives Sony Ericsson S500i

Sony Ericsson has a brand new handset in the form of the S500i, but this looks set to remain an Asia-only cellphone. What you get is a design that is strangely familiar and yet subtly different from the rest – after all, the bottom part of the S500i protrudes for that added touch of elegance. Features include 12MB of internal memory, Memory Stick Micro 2 support, a 2 megapixel camera with software for photo blogging, Bluetooth and EDGE connectivity, and RSS feeds support. You can pick one up in either Mysterious Green or Spring Yellow at a yet undisclosed price. Too bad this mid-range handset is missing out on 3G, as that would go a long way in making your photo uploads faster.
