There has been a few posts about accessing WAP and emails.

You cannot access WAP or retrieve POP3 emails because of the I-Mode facility. I-Mode is an alternative to WAP, and as mentioned I-Mode has its own email service I-Mail, this is why POP3 not included in phone.

I-Mode is only available on O2 in the UK.

    To use mp3/aac files as ringtones you need to upload them to the phone using Samsung PC Studio version 3.0 ONLY this version appears to work with the USB cable - earlier ones only use COM port or IR. Once installed, it will auto detect the phone by USB, driver files required for Windows come with PC Studio. There is also a size limit on music files for ringtone use. Try encoding them at a lower quality/bitrate.

                about mp3's as ringtones.

                i worked out how to do it by converting etc, but i noticed it tells you it wont play on the phone, but if you select it anyway and try ringing your phone you'll see that it does work.

                                  the S500i is bluetooth Stereo, it has a very good quality, the phone has also incrusted presests which are very qualitative.. I am using the phone as a MP3 player ;)

                                      Hey, went into an o2 shop this morning. the guy in there didnt know about the mp4 thing but... he did have this phone himself. he said that leaving the bluetooth on drains the battery on this phone.
