I've read all the reviews of this phone. The one and only thing that bothers me- DOES IT REALLY TURNS OFF BY ITSELF???

    allo, i have really fallen big time for this phone! i love to bits just from reading about it and looking at pictures. i was a bit confused at to what i preferred between d500 and d600 but i am very fussy about the looks of my phones, i love the small black sliding ones and the dirty silver look around the d600 phone put me off. i am not too bothered about the slightly fancier things the d600 brings although the tv output would be great, the d500 sounds better than the d600 to me (bar the tv output) i'm hoping i may get one for xmas or my birthday either that or i'll just have to save. but just wondering if most would agree the d500 seems smarter

          This phone is amazing and it has the best MP 3 player. The clarity of the MP3 is way ahead of Nokia and other models. Design, screen display and looks are all better than the Moto V3. Amazing phone to have.

              Difference between D500 and D600 is not just
              mega pix on camera or memory slot.
              Downloading speed is noticeably different.
              data speed on D500 is 32 - 48 kbps and
              D600 is 236.8 kbps (EDGE)

                I think this phone is really worth buying. It is totally worth its price. The camera is brilliant and the mp3 player is really good. Its the first phone ive had that i could actually put films on!

                  i have had the moto v3 just be4 i got this phone i think this phone is way better its small unlike v3, it has alot of great features unlike v3 and the memory is wayyyyyy better as the v3 only has 5mb. overall this phone is better. the v3 is a nice looking phone and thats all your paying for.

                    i think this is the most beautiful phone design, and it's so much smaller and lighter than the v3, but for some reason everyone thinks the v3's better. i think this is the most amasing phone and alot better than the newer D600.

                            Hi

                            To matth

                            Just because you had a PROBLEM with your Samsung D500 - does not make it a problem with ALL SAMSUNG D500s. The fact that no one yet has reported any problems with the Samsung D600 is a bit dodgy - don't you think?
                            No cellphone made has no problems!
                            The fact is to buy a phone that has the least problems!

                            Have you updated the FIRMWARE of your cellphone? Maybe you bought a cellphone that was in a bad batch?

                            There could be a number of possibilities - BUT Samsung D600 is not MUCH better than Samsung D500.

                              Good evening everyone

                              Before people think that Samsung D500 is inferior to the new Samsung D600 - remember that BATTERY LIFE is your biggest consideration with BOTH!

                              The fact that Samsung D500 and D600 both have shocking battery life - the only advantages of D600 over D500 is cardslot, and 2MP camera.

                              So, don't stress to much about getting rid of the Samsung D500.

                              Also, Samsung D500 made GSM awards 2005. Now suddenly advertising on TV and magazines for the new Samsung D600 - whoop! It's slightly better, but not that great!

                                Hi Vince

                                With regard to the amount of mp3s that you can store on the Samsung D500:
                                it depends...if the minimum size of a MP3 is 3MB - and you devote your entire 96 MB - then 32 songs (96/3)

                                So, it depends on the quality of the mp3 - and then some basic division.

                                  Good evening

                                  I seem to be experiencing some weird events on my Samsung D500:

                                  Some days when I'm trying to type an SMS - the screen / keypad seems to be delayed and then comes alive again after 2-3 seconds.

                                  Also, the phone sometimes Restarts ...why?

                                  Does anyone know if my Bluetooth device is activated - can anyone intercept without knowing the pin / without me knowing - I have some naughty files on my phone which I don't want in the wrong hands...
