It meant to be a low-end phone. you can't very well use expensive materials for a low-end product because you'll end up not making money.
Thats nonsense....Having a better cover is a lot cheaper than what we pay for the phones than one might think.
Look at the Motorola c350....a low end phone with a cover much much better than the k500..
Funny how people end up buying the companys' arguments about how they'd lose money by replacing cheap plastic with better materials , when in fact , they are just maximising already ridiculously high profit margins for products which are guaranteed to depreciate in value anyway .
The only reason the k500 feels so plasticky is because the company goofed up with so many bugs in the k700i that they came up with a newer model without most of the bugs , but had to make it look cheap just so to avoid pissing off loyal customers who had already bought the k700i .

BTW, I'd like to say that if SE have fixed reception problems in it as well as they did from the k700i onwards, the only thing stopping me from going for this phone would be the ugly orange keypad backlighting.
Dont the SE designers have no taste at all ? White backlighting easily rules over orange any time of the day. Orange seems cheap.

Neonw, you can put a thin plastic film under the phone to get rid of the orange keypad light.

Govigov, does that reduce the intensity of lighting too? And does it make it white ? If so, thats a very good solution.

I dont think light intensity is a problem. It is very bright. In fact, i want to reduce it. I dont think white is possible.

But with other phones the light color can be changed (at those shifty mobile phone modding places hehe). Is this possible on the k500?

I did manage to change my k700's keypad color to blue by placing a small piece of thin plastic between the keys and the PCB
It was cool, but i got bored and changed back to white, now i'm looking for a small piece of red plastic

Actually the numpad is originally blue, and when you have an orange backlight, it seems like orange-purple-blue fade..
This phone has a really perfect monitor.. Cheap and the only 2 disadvantages are no BT and no MMC card socket...
(Theese comments are about F500i)

All in all it's a good phone. I've never used bluetooth before so I can't comment whether the phone really should have it. I don't intend to try it anytime soon either because from what I've read, BT is addictive stuff!!
