HI,

I am planning to buy a new phone because my current phone (Sony Ericsson W580i) got lost by me

So I was thinking of buying one of these three phones: Motorola RIZR Z3, Motorola SLVR L9, Sony Ericsson S500.

I know this is the motorola section and I listed a Sony Ericsson, but please be open minded tell me your opinion i.e start flaming the Sony Ericsson and say motorola is better w/o a good comparasion

thank you,
Jonathan

Well, the S500i is identical to the W580i that you lost. Only differences are no FM radio, no pedometer, and no Walkman player. It does have a music player on it though.

Comparing the S500i to the RIZR, go with the S500i. I don't know anything about the SLVR L9, but I own the S500i, and my wife had a RIZR. The S500i blows the RIZR out of the water in function and ease of use.

S500i, as said earlier, is a slightly different version of the w580.

It's a lot better than both the SLVR L9 and the Z3, so go with it.

don't know anything about the SE phones, but for the Motos, the Z3 has a much better screen contrast wise. the L9 has FM radio, but otherwise they are pretty much the same, depends upon if you like slider or candy bar.

S500i/W580i has a far better screen than the Z3, at least to me it did. Oh yeah, RIZR is only 176x220, and S500i/W580i are 240x320.

I would compare the S500i more with the Motorola ROKR Z6. Its a great phone, I would definitely get it over the SE.

Both Motorola phones are fairly old to compare to the SE. I will say I know for a fact the Motorola's get better reception than the SE. I don't know your price range or carrier but I would check out the Motorola Z6 or Z9 if you like slide phones. Both those are going to be more comparable to the SE.
