Well, im planing of buying a K500i and as the F500i is far more cheaper, and i saw that some dude hade made his F500i into a K500i.
Well, please tell me if its possible, how to do it. And is there any hardware differences on the phones except the design?
Or should i simply buy the T630 as its cheaper?
Please tell me ur thoughts. As the T630 is the cheapest i will most probably go for that one now, except if its possible to flash the F500 into a K500 and make it unlocked for any service provider.

You can trasnfer your F500i to a K500i..
It's not illegal but we also may not talk about it here.
I can say that converting it to a K500i costs about 15 euros and you'll need an unlock cable.
It's worth the trouble as you get some features more.
Or you can leave it as a F500i and you still have a great phone.
But don't consider the T610 over a K/F500i as the T610 as much worser.
F500i = 10mb T610i = 1mb
F500i = MP3/MP4/MIDI T610 = Midi only
F500i = plays/records video T610 = only photo
F500i = much better menu animations
That's just a few, unless you really need Bluetooth..

No you definitly need an unlock cable (for T28i).
But you can also buy an original cable and modify it (it is much work).
If you debrand it, it will also be unlocked for all providers and it will also remove the camera shutter sound when you enter silence mode..
I really recommend the F500i for u instead of the T630..
T630 has got the exact same specs as T610 but another cover

dude the t610 is a t630 with a diff cover and better screen !!!!!!
now in my opinion and as i understand it the f500i is a k500 with a shit load ov functions turnd off (bluetooth,mp3 ringtones unless downloaded from voda live) just to name 2 but that is a pretty big isue if u ask me i personally stayed away from the f500i purly for these reasons and am not convinced buy the k500 eather although it is better then the later ,,
if its mp3 u want go for a nokia 6230 / samsung d500 / or se s700
if u can live without the mp3's the se t610/t630 rocks
all above hav bluetooth

Well, if u didnt notice, ive bought the T630. And I think it was a great desicion as ive heard many historys about crashing F/K500i. And color that just fall off it?
Well, im glad i choose the T630 caus the K500i hasnt got BT, and after ive tried BT w/ computer, phone / phone, phone / victim (bluejacking). Ive got addicted to BT. Soon i might even buy a BT HF... Now that is a drastic move for me
Never used an HF in my entire mobile life...
