The Sony Ericsson Z500a, released in December 2004,[3] is Sony Ericsson's first major carrier-backed clamshell, released through Cingular Wireless[3] and Dobson Cellular.[4] The phone has push-to-talk walkie-talkie functionality, but the handset was released before Cingular had rolled out their Push to Talk service.[2]

This is a camera phone that has motion capture that can send short videos through the Multimedia Messaging System. It operates on GSM 850/1800/1900.[1] Cingular has dropped this phone in favor of the updated Z520a.

The Z500a was also marketed with a Star Wars Episode III shell and assorted Star Wars ringtones and backgrounds and a demo game that could be downloaded. Sony Ericsson offered additional Star Wars shells so that fans could choose their favorite characters/scenes.
