        had it for 2 weeks now and its the best phone ever. beats the SE s700 anyday. amazing pics and video quality and the zoom is spot on. memory is huge and texting is easy enough, though could be slighly better. how all this technology can fit into such a tiny phone is beyond me, and yet the screen is plenty big enough. anyone hesitating to buy this phone is mad.. get it now you won't regret it.

          The samsung is sooo annoying. I have just moved from SE to this operating system and it cant do some of things that I would class as basic. Vibrating whilst playing a tune is the most basic feature and it cant even do that. Added to this, to beable to use added features of the camera I have to remember what each button does as it there is no option in the menu system, how crap is that. As for the rest of the phone it is a good design and has some good features but still does not compensate for fundimental flaws.

            firstly, to Nick.. The batt for d500 suckz! it only lasted me 1 day.. maybe i didnt charged enuff on the 1st day i bought it.. it claimed that it can stores 1000 photos but i haven reach there yet.. =) haha.
            secondly, to mag.. Yup, its like that.. perfectly normal.. same as mine.. i dun mind it sounding like this..
            lastly, to shorty.. i think u'll need to get a bluetooth data link in order to transfer pics or dl full length songs frm ur desktop/laptop to d500.. u can try infrared also if ur desktop/laptop has 1.. =)

                to brynn, ty but on o2 website it still says not available.. when is it? anyway wouldn't it be cheaper to get sim free phone + sim ... i've been looking around and can get this for £280.

                    Ice Man, D500 is 1st Samsung with unlocked bluetooth and infrared. Of course it can connect to send and receive stuff!

                          I have S700 for 1 month and it works fine especially the camera since it has a high quality Sony ccd lens, and the talk time also about 3 days. It has radio and has a good connection for bluetooh since Sonyericsson is one of the brand that always give complete feature in their phone.

                              I need to know how good is the battery on this phone from at least 2 -3 people. I need to choose between Sony eric. s700 and samsung d500 by this Thursday (need it as a gift quickly).

                              With d500 , when the battery is fully charged , how many pics and how much of a talk time this phone can handle in one day.

                              Please, only serious few people post your answers here. I would greatly appreciate your answers.
                              P.S. (if any of you owns sony eric. 700i , please answer the same things about that phone here as well).
