Had the phone about a week now & reasonably happy with it. For those asking, to download pictures, tones etc. to PC you need the USB cable (with it's installer software) (simpler than bluetooth or IR) and the free software available on Samsung's site - go to Samsung.com look under support & you just need to put in your phone model no. & it will guide you to download for Samsung PC Studio PIMS.

Only a couple of gripes - I don't appear to be able to assign different tones for messages - only the 10 or so already installed. Also texting defaults to ABC input & you have to reset it to predictive texting each time it's used.

      samsung d500 is the best phone in the world even though it quite old now. If you push it a bit it slide up automatically. It is a quite comfortable phone. It has also bluetooth mp3 player cool games.

                              hei guys... I know this might be funny question... I will buy a new phone soon around another one week.. I prefer D500 or E730... Z500 I cant afford to buy LOL.. okay as I could see so far.. as D500 got lot user complainin about the screen after few months using it.. which it makes me worried..

                              The specification of both phones (D500 and E730) are almost the same.. maybe E730 got radio that makes it better..

                              About design, D500 design really attracts me.. but so do E730 coz both of them got own unique.. its slide and the other is clamshell.. so its doesnt matter.. I accept both design

                              Okay overall... anyone would like to suggest me between E730 and D500... Please let me know ASAP.. I really appreciate u guys kindness...

                                Whilst having some excellent features including an awesome camera and large memory. this phone is very limited in features like setting different ringtones for different people and using MP3 ringtones for Message alerts. My main problem was the major difficulty in typing sms's as due to it being a slide phone, the keypad has a rim around it which makes messaging extremely difficult and uncomfortable. I got rid of mine for a Motorola V635 muuuuuuch better!

                                      does exist a posibility someone to ring in the D500, and to lock the ring, without knowing the person that you don't what to conect him.

                                        Hey there Matt, about being able to use your Cingular internet on your D500. I bought my husband this phone in April this yr and Cingular was just as useless at helping me with the all the server info for my phone as what they were when I 1st bought my 6230 July last yr (till they, themselves started carrying the phone). What i can suggest though is if you have two sim cards or borrow someone elses and put it in your old Cingular phone and basically copy those settings onto your D500 word for word. I did the same for my husbands D500, copied everything over from his old 6820 and it worked perfect till it fell in a tub full of water!! Good luck!
