I had this phone since December 2005 and now I don't have it. Got stolen this weekend...sucks! I can say it's been the greatest phone I've ever had. I've tried many other brands: Motorola, Nokia, LG, Siemens, etc and none have performed as the Samsung SGH-D500. Now I have to buy a new phone and I will stick with Samsung. My main problem now is finding one that will be as good or better that the D500. Looking into the D900, U600 and U700.

      I've had this phone since March 2005, and it's still running like brand new. I've dropped it SOOOOO many times, and it still works fine. I was even twirling it on my finger via the wrist strap, the strap breaks, and my phone goes flying a good 10-15 feet and tubles to a halt on the cement with no issues. Very durable. The screen only now is getting tiny scratches from my coin pocket, but it doesn't mess with the visibility of the screen.

      I've been using it in the USA as well, and my overall reception is awesome. I just newly acquired a k800i so this phone is going in the back up phone box. It'll be missed, but it was time for something new.

      I would suggest this phone to anyone. It's great, and really lasts over the years.

          People are right when they say this phone is almost indestructable. i've had this phone for 3 years and dropped it on concrete floors and hit it on hard objects so many times but there's barely even a scratch! i've never had a problem with this phone. the only problem i've had is with my stupid phone company. for those of you who do have problems with it, its probably a defect or something must have happened to it....but i love this phone so much, i don't know what new phone i can get to replace it...

                    The phone is stuffed up
                    the battery cant run for long
                    you have to charge it like every second day
                    and it can't vibrate
                    it can only vibrate then melody
                    or just vibration
                    which sucks you can't have them both together
                    the camera sucks too

                            I've had this phone ever since it came out and it's surviving it's countless drops very well. The best phone that I've had so far. Although one button (the up one) is failing and the pic quality isn't tops (but is reasonable).

                                I've had this phone since the day it came out, I must admit it is the BEST phone I have ever had, its outlived many of my other phones, including K750i, N73. I usually carry two phones, one for multimedia, pictures etc and one for phoning and txting (the grafting phone) and its the D500 that i've used and its never once let me down, been droped, soaked and smaked yet it still works as new, in my opinion it is one of the greatest phones made

                                  I love this phone had it for about two years and it has never failed me, threw it down repeatedly and it still works well. The only problem is the quality of the camera pics. Other than that it is a great phone

                                    I have used this phone for two years. I loved it. The only bad thing about this phone is its camera. The pictures arenot good at all.

                                      Good features, but two drawbacks for me. Camera quality is poor and keys poorly laid out. Battery life good, excellant music with external plug in speaker. Also another problem is the converter function---only converts to US gallons and US miles etc not UK Imperial units. Since this is sold in UK why can they not get British units not US??

                                        ive had dis phn 4 a yr now n im realy satisfied wid it.but it has sum drawbacks-
                                        1.no zoom in sxga(1280*1024) n mega(1152*864) camera modes.
                                        2.no fm radio(howevr,at that time few mobiles had fm).
                                        3.no xpandable memory.
                                        4.screensaver circuits r visible on da screen on light colored background.
                                        othrwis its surely 1 of da best mobiles in da world.i recommend it 4 evry1.
