Whats the difference?

[Guest mafakuza]

I currently have a SPV E200 and hopefully should be upgrading to a c500 soon. What does the C500 offer that the e200 doesnt?

whats the size of the C500 compared to normal average phones like nokia

im sick of the size of the e200 it embareses me

The difference is that the C500 is much much better!

It's the size of a normal phone, light, has a lovely bright clear screen, is nice and fast, works more often... almost perfect. As long as you don't like playing games (I never do). A lot don't work, but there's a new update out that's supposed to fix that. (I'm waiting to see what other people say about it first though!).

Have a look at the bugs sticky on the C500 forum (which I think is less scary than the bug lists for previous HTC efforts), and if nothing frightens you...

It's the phone that they should have waited until they'd made before they released any phone at all!

The downside is that it uses mini sd cards, which you have to take the battery out to change. Cue lots of redundant SD cards.

What BarryBryce said basically.

Go to a shop and hold one in your hand. You'll want one.

If you buy a new one now, most likely it will have the update installed.

The main advantage for me is that a lot of games that wouldn't work with the original ROM do now. Games requiring multiple keypress (simultaneous move & shoot, say) will be trickier to play but then I've never found that to be a problem.

I don't think there is a better phone on the market ^_^

I think you wouild be impressed.The phone is faster IMHO has significantly better battery life and screen .The phone is more compact and personally i think the black is much nicer that the silver of the e200.However its all in the eye of the beholder so as advised pop down to the store and have a play
