has sony erricsson discontinued S500 ?? coz today i asked 4r it in
subhiksha mobile and the mobile store and both said that S500 has been discontinued :( due to w580i is it so ???

Is it advisable to buy S500 old stock if i can get it [:D]
also can i mod s500 firmware to w580i once

yep.you can flash your s500 to the W58-.I suggest you wait for the W595 which is an upgrade to the w580, but will be pricier.

Though W595 is very cool looking but i think it will be above my budget

You can buy the k550i or the w660i if you love SE phones.the only difference between the two models is the walkman logo and 3g capability for the w phone.
from what you said, that you want a fashionable phone, i would say that just go slightly above and buy the motorokr e6, has a great screen, touchscreen even and decent camera, although, motorolas camera will be much behind in performance compared to sony ericsson phones.
hope it helps.

yaar w580 is very common now a days every other person is having it
i.e y i zeroed on S500
coz its uncommon (though i m not able to identify the reason )
it has a stunning design and it can be moded to w580i
nd also its in my bugged of 8k
