Use a USB BLUETOOTH DONGLE they are versatile with any bluetooth handset, require no software for the phone, you can sent pics and mp3's to and from the phone,
I use this regularly,
what does everyone think of the volume of ring tone/song for this phone? do you feel its very loud/audiable?

      Hi all,

      Very nice phone. I understand everything but cannot download to the phone memory through the Pim software any AAC files(the icon is not active). Downloaded through other phone I cannot play them(not supported format). I know it can play but can anybody tell if there is some difference in AAC formats, at least what converting software I must use to play AAC on my D500?

      Thank You all

          I would also like to know about the sliding system. is it very fragile or not?

            i dnt know y people are comparing K700i with this phone. D500 is far better than K700i..its competitor would be K750i, but d latter has yet to be released..my old 6230 is even better than K700i..

            D500 has more than twice d number of memory of K700i
            D500 has better display
            D500 has better design (no need to explain that)
            Both phone can't assign MP3s as message tone
            K700i has radio, but that's it..
            If you don't need radio, go for D500..

              The most awesome phone on the market right now. I use T-Mobile network in the U.S. and am able to use internet and AIM. Sometimes AIM has a hard time logging in but it does work on a consistent basis.I can access other internet sites besides just the T-Zones that T-Mobile provides.For Example, Yahoo, Google, CNN, EBAY, ESPN, Etc...

                      reply to Jaime

                      There is the:

                      D510 - Same as D500, but with transflash memory card slot. Also different design.

                      D600 - a 2mp camera, transflash slot, QVGA screen, video wall paper.

                      The D510 is comming soon, while D600 is comming at around September/ November.

                      I'd advise you to wait for the D600 as it will be the flagship phone for 2005/2006.

                        can sum1 tell me if the group assign ringtone can use those downloaded by the user..??
                        coz there're phones where the group assign ringtone can only use those pre-set in the samsung phones itself which is the default melody...
                        there's no other way 2 set ringtone downloaded by the user as group ringtone...
                        so does d500 has the same problem..??

                                      Comparing to D500, any Nokia sucks hard. A definate must-have. The only minus which I've noticed is that you can't set a ringing tone together with a vibrator. The only option is to feel the vibration first and only after listen to the ringtone.
