This is dumbest phone i`ve ever had. Literally a piece of garbage. Basic smartphone stuff is not available for this thing, like skype, gmail chat etc. even finding a good, working app is a hassle. And be aware of belle! I `upgraded` and it`s even worse than the previous was.
it`s a dumbphone, annoying garbage.

lol @ gsm arena...thought u guys were qualified enough for reviewing phones! u cant understand why the phone lags despite 1 ghz processor?wow just wow
its coz the phone doesnt have a dedicated gpu which is its biggest flaw not ur usual list of "cut and paste" cons for symbian phones!
the lack of gpu causes the processor to do the work of gpu and eats up the ram so much that after booting the free ram is only 60 mb! {use a ram application} though the ram is listed as 256 mb the ram for practical use is 60 mb! thats why the phone lags. not coz of the un optimized software lol...
atleast try to get to know a phone before posting a review...
and yeah it wont get better with belle coz the problem is the lack of gpu not software related...

That's a bit odd. Another site told it was very good and pretty snappy. I've tested Nokia 500 numerous times and for its price (150 euros) it feels quite fast. Hardly any lag at all eventhough it was configured with different wallpapers on each homescreen. Definetaly nothing serious or deal breaking imo. Navigation softwares etc were pretty fast. I mean it's not the most superb fastest handset on market, but for it's pretty ok price. I've used slower androids that's for sure.
One thing to remember imo, is that Nokia is the only one with decent turn by turn car and walking navigation. This is a major benefit for most. Atleast it should be. Worth 50-70 euros at least.

Sad & happy N97 , 25 Oct 20111 Ghz cpu + 5 mp camera and it only manages VGA at 15 fps. ... morehey my Nokia 5230 can shoot 30fps video recording with 434Mhz proc without 3D GPU :D look about android phone they have 3D GPU but only 15fps video recording what a joke.

Software version 11.033 is now available for the Nokia 500.
Completely enhances the stability and performance of the phone.
Finally feels like a 1ghz processor phone
web browser much more smooth, now auto hides while scrolling, bounce effect
social app is much faster to load
goodjob nokia! Thank you for giving us a software update worth downloading.

Used to ONLY buy Nokia(back in the day.)I now have a SGS II. The way it's going right now, you'd think Apple, Samsung, LG, SE, etc sent in a Task force to infiltrate Nokia's R&D Dept and sabotaged it. People insist on RELIABLE software and GOOD cameras - even if they hardly ever take a photo(I made the mistake last year of trying Nokia(AGAIN)but got ropey pics and even ropier software on my X3-02. Fixed focus won't be replacing auto focus anytime soon Nokia. The big players eventually listened to us and managed to sort out most software/usability issues, all except Nokia. In the days of the 3310, Nokia were the kings and held all the aces, now they've become the jokers in the pack.
