      The D500 is a very good phone. In answer to some of the opinions below, you can chage the message tone and the slide tone simply by going in to the sounds settings!! I have had this phone for 3 weeks now and it is so good, the best I've had (traded in my S700i Sony Ericsson). The menu's at LAST are on a per with Nokia....

          u can upload Mpeg4 or 3GP videos to the D500. If they are not in that format they will not work. Download a video converter to convert them.

            to evryone out ther. this phone totally rocks. if u consider getting a phone, ur first choice would be this. it has practically everything. the only thing its lacking right now is the MMC. or u might consider the D600. thats if u can wait. and the design ain't as great as the D500=)

                      D 500 is lack of MMC. It's more important to hv MMC than MP3 or color 256[TFT ].Pls reconsider well to get it before u will be disappointed deeply.

                        Hi there all you other D500 users. Just one quick question. How long do other D500 users battery last? Mine only lasts about 2-3 days as i am always playing with the mp3 player, camera and surfing the wap sites. When i first got the phone i flattened the battery completely then charged it for 16hrs then when it went flat i charged it for a further 16 then flat then a further 16hrs. Please get back to me about this asap.

                          I don't think there is a way to stop the ascending tone. I too was annoyed by it, but I've already grown to get used to it. Its not so bad after a while.

                            D500 is a great phone. But why does the ringtone start low and then goes suddenly higher after about 2 seconds from ringing??

                            Can somebody help explain? This happens even when I choose vibrate+melody.

                                well, in my opinion, if u buy a nokia 6230, u get an average phone becos of the way it looks. even though, its got features on par with the D500, i feel 6230 lacks a lot in terms of design statement. the only thing which the 6230 better the D500 is that its got an expansion slot but i personally feel that the int memory of 96mb which the d500 is offering is good enough. Besides, memory cards aren't cheap anyway. Secondly, the d500 has got the better screen than the 6230 (262k colors against 65k colors).

                                But the conclusion is, DON'T get the D500. (The last thing i want is everyone on the street having a D500)

                                    Excellent phone. One thing that is bugging me though is the games. I've some here which worked fine on the T610 but when I try to upload them to the D500 I get an invalid file error. They're JAR files so it shouldn't be a java issue. I begrudge paying silly money for games and ringtones.

                                    Any ideas?

                                        I got my D500 last week and I can only find one problem with it: you cant change the message alert tone or the slidetone,would have been a nice feature to have, otherwise a great phone.
