    Samsung and the MP3 player
    MP3 support is absolutely new at Samsung's. I have mentioned it at the ringing tones, where it is possible to set an MP3 file instead of a classic ringing melody. The phone can be used as a limited MP3 player. It is not a limit of memory, which has a record-breaking capacity, but it's a problem of communication with a PC. Loading data via Bluetooth or infrared port is not the right solution; you need to get an USB cable if you mean it seriously.


    MP3 player interface

    Player functions are another limit. It allows you just to skip among tracks and not to rewind or go forward and get e.g. to the middle of a song. During playing a music other people can call you but you can't do anything else; e.g. write messages. Once a call is finished, the playing won't continue from a place where it stopped - a song will start to play from beginning.

    The sound quality is good. That stands for delivered stereophonic headphones, which can be used as a handsfree, and also for loud playback directly from the phone's speaker. Also you can connect the Sound Mate, which will improve the sound quality. Just a pity that the connector is not a standard jack and we can use only delivered headphones, as they aren't really top-quality.

        I can't seem to get IR working with the software. When I go to setup, there is no IR option as stated in the manual. Does anyone know how to get the software to connect to the phone via IR? Thanks!

          i see that some people are comparing the D500 to multiple different phones saying one aspect of it isn't as good as one phone, and another aspect isn't as good as a different one. but how does it compare overall, one to one? and is there another similar phone that is better? i don't want to buy a nokia cuz it's better in one thing and also a sony ericsson for another superior function. most complete package counts. and i think screens are important and i haven't seen a non-samsung that's better. i haven't found a better phone out now that isn't too tech'd out making us robots so if there is one from nokia or whoever, please inform.

                    i juz change my panasonic x70 to samsung d500. its certainly too small for a man to use as i feel no comfartable to hold it in my hand. the camera is great but its photo its take is more than the screen show(out of border), making me hard to focus, also in its highest resolution it take long time to process the pic. and the wallpaper and video just can't put it full screen. the connectivity is good. overall still a very good cell phone but definitely much more suitable for a lady.

                          the zoom function automatically shuts off if phone is at maximum res, if phone is on vga or below, zoom will automatically reappear. hope that helps.

                                  D500? Not very good.Compare with 6260 its still a loser in functions.1.3megapixels cam Sucks after comparing with a 6670 1megapixel cam.Only mp3 camera and internal memory of ONLY 96MB with no expansion supported by MEMORY CARDS.Although 6260 has only a VGA cam.it has unlimited video recording,Radio,Memory card slot,IT IS A SYMBIAN fone.That is why d500 is not as good as it seems.=)Admit it.
