    I have used many cell phones from various manufacturers, and I have to say that the Samsung SGH D500 is the best one by far. It's small, stylish and has many great features. The 1 hour video recording is the greatest. My only problem is that it doesn't have a photo caller id option. But I can live with that. Once again, Samsung takes the lead!!! I've never been happier.

        i'm very satisfied with d500. to put mp3 to d500, just enable ur bluetooth and try sending the mp3 to d500 via bluetooth. d500 may ask for a passcode, and just type in 1234 or any code u want, just be sure u use the same code for the computer. anyway, it will automatically put the mp3 in the right folder. d500 best phone ever!

            Hello everyone. Please tell me wich USB Data cable is right for Samsung D500. I bouht one, model KQ-U8A + a disc with software. USB port sees the phone, but part of software "File Director" does not work. The error mass. says that is off line and try to switch ON. I dont know what else i should activated/ Maybe it's about my phone? Any opinion will be very helpfull to me. Thank you for responding.

              Message for ANGEL - I used to work for Nokia and the rules on battery are - always charge it for a good 24hrs when you first receive your phone - that way you charge all the cells. Then when you need to re-charge, it is always best to let the phone run out of battery and then charge it - if you keep charging it randomly you kill off the battery cells and your battery life is shortened. Hope this helps :)

                      Hav had the phone for 3 days and had to recharge it 2 times already. I have used the bluetooth alot...maybe this is why. One other thing i don't like about the phone is the missing function copy all to sim. Otherwise it's a great phone and glad i moved from Nokia to Samsung.

                            It's not an opinion but a question. Some people tell me it's best to let the battery die completely till phone goes off, other tell me to just recharge when battery is low. Are there any experts here who know this? Thanx

                                I love this phone. Its quite a machine. The only thing is, I don't like the SMS alert tones, they're quite boring. When I download SMS alert tones, it only gives me the option to save as Caller ID or Ringtone.

                                        D500 has recently been added to the list of Mobiledit supported devices, a very useful tool to manage phone content and get new features, that makes it a cool accessory for many phones.
