Just bought this phone for my daughter who had the D410 previously. What a great phone and what an improvement to the D410! If you're wanting a phone with good features that is simple to figure out then this is the phone for you. The only things that let it down is the lack of a memory card slot, (96MB doesn't go far when you start with pictures and music) and the poor battery life, they're way off with the talk time mentioned here, it needs charging daily, maybe twice a day with heavy use. Good phone in every other respect though.

              Well, the design looks good. Function is okay also. The only thing i don't like is the memory. If it only has a card slot it would have been perfect.

                To Kangsadal Pipitpakde and for all those that don't have a clue about cell phones...

                Nokia 6230i can't even be compared with D500. D500 is simply at different class. Design, screen size, camera functions and various functions plus resonable price are just too much for the incompetent nokia phone. Soon, Nokia is going to have problems keeping up with Samsung. The reason being, Samsung is one of the best producers of micro chips. This helps them to create phones with small size, weight and better functions. As well, Samsung is considered the best in electronics. This undoubtedly gives them the edge in integrating digital cameras, tv, internet, online banking system with various other functions. Have a look at Korea, or Japan and see what their phoens are doing. Amazing, i just can't see Nokia ever catching up with Samsung

                    Does the Samsung D500 have an inbuilt media player for 3GP and 3GPP content? If so, can you copy mobile video clips to the phone memory with a cable as you can with the Nokia range?

                      Superb effort! Never really liked Samsungs but D500 cuts the cake. Brilliant display ( though scratch-prone) and classy features. Absence of card slot limits ultimate useability of excellent megapixel camera. Hugely appealing and desirable, though lacks iconic image of the likes of Nokia 6230. Still one of the most desirable slider phones around and certainly a contender for Samsung's best.

                        nice fone but annoying ringtones....its camera is also not as striking as its other features. nokia 6630's camera is better than that of D500's. i am having problem with its bluetooth. it isnt working properly. it is not detecting my data cable. how to use it????

                            I just think that Nokia 6230 is better. This D500 hasn't got the card slot and I am sure this phone is gonna die out of fashion really fast.As for Nokia 6230,it's gonna be evergreen and all-time favourite.

                                  to dsher13 the v3 isn't a good phone when you transfer the photos from your camera to computer. the v3 can only do video if you take it into a repair centre to upgrade the software. D500 is the better phone by far.I have 2 myself. I work in a mobile phone shop as the manager and i have done so for 5yrs.

                                    Best bluetooth to be used with this phone is the motorola hs805. The reason as to why i say this is because you don't have the hassle of needing to charge your bluetooth when you purchase this headset as it uses AAA batteries. All you need to do is carry a AAA battery with you. It has 22hrs talktime and 22 days standby.
